It can be very challenging to locate information about individual ISU Extension publications via the library website. Quick Search will list the name of the series, but it will not list individual publications within each series. The Parks Library Reference Collection has a List of Current Series, Serial Publications (Series Publications of Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service), published as of March 2004. It lists each publication from 1888-2004 (by title and publication number - and in some cases it will show an author name).

Abstract
1. Volatile aliphatic acids were found in considerable amount in all samples of good silage which we examined.
2. Acetic acid comprised about nine tenths of the total volatile acid present.
3. Propionic acid was next in importance to acetic.
4. Butyric acid was found in considerable amounts only in samples where some slight indications of spoiling were otherwise apparent.
5. Alcohols were found in appreciable quantities, but esters only in traces.
6. As far as volatile acids and alcohols are concerned, no differences were noted which could be attributed to differences in the type and construction of the silo.
