Also, they frequently appear on window sills during the winter months, on relatively warm, calm, sunny days. The clover mite is not an insect but is a relative of spiders and ticks. The full-grown clover mite is slightly smaller than a pin head and has a …

G93-1169 Coalitions For Building Community Understanding (Revised April 1994), Georgia L. Stevens
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide identifies eight steps for coalitions involved in building community understanding and applies them to the issue of school-age child care.

As more and more citizens recognize a particular problem, that problem moves from the private to the public domain and requires the involvement of a larger segment of the community. Though this NebGuide deals specifically with the example of school-age child care, the process of involving the whole community is relevant to any area of policy-making.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Ways to identify and treat smut fungi are given here.

Stripe smut occurs most commonly on Kentucky bluegrass, occasionally on bentgrass and rarely on fine fescues and perennial ryegrass; it has not been reported to occur on zoysia. The widespread use of susceptible Kentucky bluegrass cultivars has contributed to the common occurrence of stripe smut.
Stripe smut should not be taken lightly by turfgrass managers. Infection causes a general decline, …

G93-1125 Lining A Jacket Or Coat, Rose Marie Tondl
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The purpose of a lining is to add to the comfort of the wearer; preserve the shape of a garment or add body to it; and conceal construction details and raw edges of fabric, thus giving a finished appearance to the inside of the garment. A neatly applied lining usually adds to a garment quality.
The fabric and style of the garment may influence whether a lining should be used. Woven fabrics are more frequently lined (to conceal raw edges) than knit fabrics. If a woven fabric coat or jacket is not lined, give seam allowances and facings a special …

G93-1154 Crop Residue And Irrigation Water Management, Joel Cahoon, Norman Klocke, William L. Kranz
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Crop residue cover and tillage practices play important roles in the way that crops use water, and also affect the ability of irrigation systems to replace that water. The effects of these practices and other influencing factors are discussed in this NebGuide. Tillage practices and crop residue management play an important role in the way that irrigation systems perform and are managed. Tillage practices affect the way that water moves into and off of the soil (infiltration and runoff). Tillage practices also affect the way that water moves from the soil into the atmosphere (evapotranspiration).

G93-1180 Horn Fly Control On Cattle, John B. Campbell
G93-1180 Horn Fly Control On Cattle, John B. Campbell
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide identifies ways to control horn flies on cattle.
The horn fly is a blood-feeder that feeds 20 to 30 times per day. A population of several thousand horn flies may be present on one animal. When large numbers of these flies are on cattle, the cattle bunch and expend considerable effort fighting the flies. They will often stand in water or seek shade trying to get relief from the flies. When they do this, they fail to graze normally.
Studies in the United States and Canada show that during the grazing season yearling cattle free from horn flies …
