Preparing Fabric For Use, Rose Marie Tondl
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Grain perfection is the goal for people who sew. Smart styling and a professional look in clothing construction require correct use of the grain of the fabric. No formula or method can conceal a poorly cut garment.

G91-1056 Support And Resistance Areas, And Will The Market Give Us A Second Chance?, Lynn H. Lutgen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This is the sixth of nine NebGuides designed to aid producers in starting to use technical analysis in their marketing plan.
Among the most frustrating aspects of marketing are missed opportunities for good prices. These occur because producers becoming overly optimistic. This optimism stems from the belief that a bull market will keep going up.
Ultimately, the market does change direction -- it does so many times before the producer has priced his crop. This NebGuide examines where to draw additional support and resistance lines beyond the support and resistance trend lines explained in the second NebGuide in this series. …

G91-1020 Plumbing Systems Of Agricultural Sprayers, Robert D. Grisso, David L. Varner, Robert N. Klein
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Properly adjusting and maintaining the plumbing systems of agricultural sprayers can improve the efficiency and uniformity of chemical applications. The plumbing systems of agricultural sprayers are usually considered foolproof. Sprayer problems may occur however, when plumbing and/or modifications are improperly done or maintenance is ignored. Retrofitting, addition of electrical control systems, and replacement of pumps or nozzles require knowledge of the plumbing system and how changes will affect sprayer performance. Routine maintenance of the plumbing systems is essential.

Ec91-2503 Management Of Fabric Pests, Shripat T. Kamble
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The common fabric destroying insects in Nebraska are clothes moths, carpet beetles, and silverfish. Clothes moths and carpet beetles feed on and digest wool, leather, cotton, silk, and synthetic fibers. They generally infest clothes, carpets, rugs, upholstery, etc. Silverfish feed principally on paper products, glue, paste, wallpaper, starch, and any food products consumed by humans. They also damage clothing, cotton, linen, rayon and ramie fabrics.
This extension circular explains these insects and the proper ways of eliminating them in your household.

Ec91-734 Noise ... Sound Without Value (Tractor Sound Levels, 1970-1990), Rollin D. Schnieder
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Oh, for the peace and quiet of the country. Surely you have heard this statement. How true this was in years gone by. Now, however, the country environment is often filled with the noise of thumping cylinders, and turning gears in modern tractors — noises previously associated with cities have moved into rural areas.
What do the words sound and noise mean? Some people refer to sound as something pleasant. For example, a number of tones placed together might result in a beautiful symphony. However, if these notes are played too loudly or off key, they might be referred to …
Ec91-1773 Deer Damage Control In Nebraska, Scott E. Hygnstrom, Bill Baxter
Ec91-1773 Deer Damage Control In Nebraska, Scott E. Hygnstrom, Bill Baxter
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Nebraskans are fortunate to have two species of deer in the state — the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). They are beautiful and fascinating animals that provide many aesthetic and recreational benefits. They can however, cause problems when they damage agricultural crops, trees and backyard plantings.
This extension circular covers the methods of reducing deer damage through herd management (legal harvest, shooting permits, and live removal), deer fencing, repellents, and scare devices.

G91-1019 Set Up Of Tillage, Planting And Directed Spray Equipment, Elbert C. Dickey, Robert Grisso, Alex Martin
G91-1019 Set Up Of Tillage, Planting And Directed Spray Equipment, Elbert C. Dickey, Robert Grisso, Alex Martin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses how to set up and operate liquid herbicide application equipment on tillage, planting and directed spray equipment.
Some herbicides require incorporation to obtain consistent weed control. Maintaining residue cover to reduce soil loss on erodible soils makes it necessary to incorporate herbicide while minimizing tillage. This need, combined with many row crop producers' preference for band application to reduce herbicide costs, creates some application challenges.
G91-1009 Getting Started In Ecofarming: Growing The Winter Wheat Crop, Gail A. Wicks, Robert N. Klein, Drew J. Lyon
G91-1009 Getting Started In Ecofarming: Growing The Winter Wheat Crop, Gail A. Wicks, Robert N. Klein, Drew J. Lyon
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Cultural practices can improve the weed competitiveness of winter wheat in an ecofallow program, thus increasing the effectiveness of herbicides. Ecofarming is a popular conservation tillage practice used in Nebraska areas where winter wheat is produced. It requires a high degree of management, but the rewards through higher crop yields and erosion protection are worth the effort. In Nebraska the winter wheat-fallow rotation is the common rotation used in areas of less than 17 inches of rainfall, while in areas that receive 17 to 22 inches the winter wheat-corn or sorghum fallow rotation is most common. In 1988, 41 percent …
G91-1046 Conservation Tillage And Planting Systems, Paul J. Jasa, David P. Shelton, Alice J. Jones, Elbert C. Dickey
G91-1046 Conservation Tillage And Planting Systems, Paul J. Jasa, David P. Shelton, Alice J. Jones, Elbert C. Dickey
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Tillage system descriptions and comparisons are included here. Moldboard plowing, followed by such secondary tillage operations as disking and harrowing, was once the most common, or traditional, tillage system before planting. Soil erosion potential from rainfall on sloping lands was great and requirements for labor and fuel were high compared to other tillage and planting systems. One of the most commonly used tillage systems in Nebraska today is two diskings followed by field cultivation. Unfortunately, the potential for soil erosion may be great because the number of tillage operations involved may not leave adequate residue cover for erosion control. Today …

G91-1026 Sunflower Production In Nebraska, James A. Schild, David D. Baltensperger, Drew J. Lyon, Gary L. Hein, Eric D. Kerr
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Seeds, seedbed preparations, fertilizing and controlling weeds in sunflowers are among the topics covered here. Sunflowers are native to Nebraska. Cultivated for centuries by native American Indians as a food crop, sunflowers were taken to Europe in the mid-16th century. Oilseed sunflowers have been a U.S. crop since 1986. Sunflower production is divided into two market classes, oil and confectionery. The oil type is by far the most commonly grown market class. Recent health trends have brought sunflower cooking oil into prominence because the oil is low in saturated fats. Confectionery types are grown for the edible roasted sunflower seed …

Ec91-1767 Windbreaks For Rural Living, James R. Brandle, Teresa K. Boes, Bruce Wight
Ec91-1767 Windbreaks For Rural Living, James R. Brandle, Teresa K. Boes, Bruce Wight
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
In many parts of the United States, the constant force of the wind exaggerates daily weather conditions and can make living in these areas seem unbearable. A well-designed windbreak around the home, ranch, or farmstead slows the wind and improves the overall environment. Farm and ranch windbreaks conserve energy, provide snow control, improve working and recreational environments, enhance wildlife populations, provide visual screening and dust control, and increase the production of various wood and food products.
Ranch and farmstead windbreaks provide the greatest benefits in areas with high winds, large amounts of snow, extreme temperature fluctuations, or minimal natural forest …
