Ec99-794 On-Farm Storage Of Dry Edible Beans: A Survey Of Nebraka Growers And Storage Guidelines, Thomas L. Holman, John A. Smith
Ec99-794 On-Farm Storage Of Dry Edible Beans: A Survey Of Nebraka Growers And Storage Guidelines, Thomas L. Holman, John A. Smith
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Dry edible bean producers in Nebraska typically deliver their crop to local bean dealers directly from the field, for either immediate sale or storage. Estimates are that less than 5 percent of Nebraska growers store part or all of their dry edible bean harvest in on-farm storage. In contrast, a much higher percentage of dry edible bean producers in other growing regions, particularly North Dakota and Michigan, use on-farm storage in their management plan. In Nebraska, corn and wheat producers are most likely to store all or part of their harvested grain on-farm. Why do so few Nebraska dry edible …

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses lilac species, propagation, culture and pests.
Lilacs are among the most versatile shrubs grown in Nebraska. They come in various shapes, sizes, flower types and flower colors. Time of flowering also varies with species and cultivars. Lilacs can be used statewide for wind screens, hedges, accent plants or strictly for flower beauty and fragrance. Their drought and winter hardiness makes them easy to grow. They can survive, even when neglected, but perform better with care. Good soil drainage and full sun exposure are essential for optimal performance.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Tomato diseases occur every year in every garden to some extent. This NebGuide discusses the symptoms and management of the most common and damaging ones in Nebraska.
Gardening is a favorite summer activity of backyard farmers and nothing tastes better than a ripe, home grown tomato. The popularity of local farmer's markets has increased tremendously in the 90s. Tomatoes are a mainstay of the backyard garden and the Saturday morning farmer's market. Being a successful gardener requires knowledge, skill and persistence. Every summer, nature pits the skills of the gardener against weather, insects and diseases. These challenges test our ability …

Ec99-455 Starting An Investment Club, Leanne Manning, Kathleen Prochaska-Cue
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
When establishing an investment club, one of the most important things for the group to decide is the club's purpose. If all the members are interested in getting rich quickly, the investment club is not the answer. If, on the other hand, members view it as a chance to learn over the years about selecting and making wise investments, the investment club is a great way to accomplish this goal. Investing in the stock market is a long-term proposition and one that should not be taken lightly. Forming an investment club means going into business with 10 to 20 other …

The Lifelong Learner And Technology, Dia L. Davis
The Lifelong Learner And Technology, Dia L. Davis
Graduate Research Papers
The teaching strategies of the educator alter to suit the needs of the students and technology. The content integration process takes time. It has been stated that teachers' first technology projects generate excitement, but often little content learning. Often it takes a few years until teachers can use technology effectively in core subject areas.
Teachers learn to use computer technologies and learn how to bring content learning to the forefront with, in some cases, impressive results on the part of the students. Teachers eventually learn to view the learning process in concert with their new technologies and come to understand …
The Constructivist Heart Of The Adapt Program, David Moshman
The Constructivist Heart Of The Adapt Program, David Moshman
ADAPT Program: Materials and History
When I joined the faculty of the UNL Educational Psychology department in August 1977, I replaced Carol Tomlinson-Keasey, who had been among the founders of the ADAPT program. Although no one ever mistook me for Carol, we were in many ways quite similar. Both of us had interests at the intersection of developmental, cognitive, and educational psychology, both of us were Piagetian in our general theoretical perspective, and both of us had done research on the development of formal operational reasoning. It was thus natural that I replaced Carol not only within my department but as what Bob Fuller often …

G99-1390 Altering Swine Manure By Diet Modification, Duane Reese, Richard K. Koelsch
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide explores options for altering the nitrogen and phosphorus content of swine manure.
There are situations in which it is necessary to change the nutrient content and/or the odor-producing potential of swine manure in order for pork production to thrive. For example, current Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) permit procedures for livestock facilities require producers to document that sufficient land is available for crop use of the nitrogen (N) in manure. If sufficient land is not available for managing nutrients in manure, producers can alter the nitrogen and phosphorus content of swine manure by modifying the pig's diet. …
G99-1388 Seam Finishes For A Plain Seam, Rose Marie Tondl
G99-1388 Seam Finishes For A Plain Seam, Rose Marie Tondl
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide covers seam finishes for a plain seam.
A plain seam is the basic element in all garment construction. It is created by stitching two pieces of fabric together, usually 5/8 inch from the cut edge using 10-12 stitches per inch. It is used with a variety of fabrics and found in all areas of a garment. Unless noted differently in the pattern instructions, the seam allowance is pressed open and an appropriate seam finish is used. For fabrics that ravel excessively, consider finishing the edge of the fabric before sewing the seam.
