This study of Thomas County is a general history of the county from 1885-1964 with stress on the social, political, and economic aspects of its development. Agricultural conditions are particularly significant throughout the history of the area,...
A total of 23,400 point counts were made on 75 thin sections of sandstones from the Star Point Sandstone and the Blackhawk Formation (Upper Cretaceous) to determine their petrographic characteristics. Both units are litharenites, fine to medium...
Small mammals were trapped on four habitats; cropland, roadside ditch, pasture, and remnant grassland. The small mammal community of each of these habitats were compared on the basis of richness, evenness, diversity, and similarity. The cropland...
Estelle writes about how living in the country seems to suit her family; she also writes about canning the fruit found on their land and raising roosters and hens.
"This thesis will demonstrate how the financial wealth that resulted from the

became a major contributing factor to the economic prosperity of Ellis County,...
"The phenotype of two Andropogon gerardii subspecies, big bluestem and sand bluestem, varies broadly throughout the Great Plains of North America, giving rise to ecotypes within the species. This study sought to discriminate between genetic and...
This investigation was an attempt to determine the seasonal development and seed production of the major grasses in areas which had been subjected to different intensities of grazing in past years. The grasses used in this study were (1) buffalo...
A study was made to determine the effects of two soil moisture levels, field capacity and the permanent wilting percentage, on the total sugar content of the foliage of blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), western wheatgrass (Agropyron smithii), and...
The distributions and numerical status of the three species of foxes in Kansas have changed appreciably in the past century. Undocumented information suggests the red fox was common in parts of western Kansas, and therefore probably occurred...
This investigation was an attempt to determine the effects of a change of habitat factors on the responses of big bluestem which dominates favorable site in the mixed prairie association. Responses of big b1uestem on five habitats were determined...

Studies of European limestone grasslands have suggested that when relatively small scale is considered, these grasslands are the most floristically rich sites on Earth. This study of shallow limestone communities in western Kansas was designed to...
Systematic trapping was conducted along streams in western Kansas, where Peromyscus leucopus had not previously been recorded. Near the Kansas-Colorado border in west central Kansas, tree distribution is restricted to riparian communities and is...
