Agricultural Aircraft Equipment, N. Shafer
Agricultural Aircraft Equipment, N. Shafer
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
This bulletin gives a detailed account of the installation, operation, and performance of spray dispersal equipment as tested on the Piper PA-18A airplane. Equipment is also applicable to other types of agricultural aircraft now being used. A list of various aircraft equipment and where it can be obtained is included.
Aircraft In Agriculture, N. E. Shafer, J. D. Furrer, J. W. Lomax
Aircraft In Agriculture, N. E. Shafer, J. D. Furrer, J. W. Lomax
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Airplanes were first used in agriculture shortly after the close of World War I. They proved valuable for locating mosquito breeding areas, for forest fire patrol work, as an aid in locating outlaw cotton fields in the campaign against pink bollworm, and for surveying damage caused in large forested areas by the spruce budworm.
Adjusting Planters And Listers For Sorghums, L. W. Hurlbut
Adjusting Planters And Listers For Sorghums, L. W. Hurlbut
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
It is the purpose of this circular to present data and suggestions that will aid the farmer in attaining greater success in the planting of sorghum. It has been prepared primarily for the machine operator; and, although it is not a complete discussion of planters and listers, it contains highly practical suggestions regarding the adjustment of the corn planter and lister for sorghum seed.
Fifty Years Of Achievement In Agricultural Investigation, R. T. Prescott
Fifty Years Of Achievement In Agricultural Investigation, R. T. Prescott
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
In Nebraska, a hustling frontier state in 1887, the legislature hesitated not at all in taking advantage of the provisions of the Hatch Act, and now that fifty years have elapsed since the Station was founded, seventy-five years since the Land Grant College Act was passed and the U. S. Department of Agriculture established, and almost twenty-five years since the Agricultural Extension Service was added, it seems worth while to present a general summary of achievement within the state. The main object will be to show some of the important things that have been learned through the investigations of the …
The Use Of A Small Electric Motor In Silo Filling, E. E. Brackett, E. B. Lewis
The Use Of A Small Electric Motor In Silo Filling, E. E. Brackett, E. B. Lewis
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Filling a silo 30 feet or more in height with a motor as small as five horsepower has been looked upon in general by Nebraska farmers as an impractical, if not impossible, procedure. The practice is not unheard of in other states, and certainly the possibility of avoiding the large tractor-driven cutters and the large crews will be welcomed by those who have available service from power lines.
Hog Houses For Nebraska, O. W. Sjogren, I. D. Wood
Hog Houses For Nebraska, O. W. Sjogren, I. D. Wood
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The material contained in this bulletin is a culmination of several years' study and investigation of the different types of hog houses used in Nebraska. It is realized that the plans given will not suit all conditions that may arise, but an effort has been made to bring out the essential factors so that the plans may serve as a guide in planning a house suited to particular conditions.

The Nebraska Tractor Law And Rules For Official Tractor Tests, O. W. Sjogren, E. E. Brackett, C. W. Smith, F. R. Nohavec
The Nebraska Tractor Law And Rules For Official Tractor Tests, O. W. Sjogren, E. E. Brackett, C. W. Smith, F. R. Nohavec
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The Nebraska Tractor Law, which became effective July 15, 1919, was enacted to encourage the manufacture and sale of improved types of tractors and to contribute to a more successful use of the tractor for farming. It was thought that the best method of accomplishing these objects would be to require a tractor of each model sold in the State to be tested at the State University and to have the results of these tests made public.

The Nebraska Tractor Law, which became effective July 15, 1919, was enacted to encourage the manufacture and sale of improved types of tractors and to contribute to a more successful use of the tractor for farming. It was thought that the best method of accomplishing these objects would be to require a tractor of each model sold in the State to be tested at the State University and to have the results of these tests made public. These tests will give reliable information on the power, capacity and fuel consumption of each tractor and also some information on endurance. The …
Measuring Silage And Capacity Of Silos, L. W. Chase
Measuring Silage And Capacity Of Silos, L. W. Chase
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The condition of the corn at filling time, the rate of filling, and the length of time settling has taken place before measuring the depth of the silage, all tend to cause variations in the weight per cubic foot of the silage and in the tonnage that can be placed in a silo. The greatest variation comes when very green corn or very ripe corn is used, and because of this it is possible that a cubic foot of green silage, which may weigh fifty pounds, holds no more dry matter than a cubic foot of overripe silage which weighs …
Pump Irrigation In Nebraska, E. E. Brackett, O. W. Sjogren
Pump Irrigation In Nebraska, E. E. Brackett, O. W. Sjogren
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Before one decides to install a pumping plant for irrigating purposes there are a good many factors that should be considered regarding the feasibility of the project and the construction of the plant. The material contained in this bulletin has been obtained from studying pumping plants in actual operation in this and other states and from experience gained while installing plants in this state.
