Hairy vetch is a winter annual legume. It may be planted either in the spring or fall. Hairy vetch often succeeds on soils where sweet clover and alfalfa fail. It is more tolerant to acid (lime-deficient) soils than most leguminous crops.
Safflower Production In The Western Part Of The Northern Great Plains, C. E. Classen
Safflower Production In The Western Part Of The Northern Great Plains, C. E. Classen
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Recent development of new varieties with seeds averaging more than 30 per cent oil give safflower a good chance of becoming an important oil seed crop in the United States. It is the purpose of this circular to acquaint farmers with the crop and to outline the most promising production practices for those who undertake its production in the western part of the northern Great Plains.

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 …

Not only are losses among the latter a prolific source of direct economic damage, but they also tend to create an equally serious disadvantage of a more indirect nature. Losses of young animals, unless a reduction of our live stock population can be tolerated, necessitate the setting aside of a larger number of females for purely reproductive purposes than would be required if such losses were not a factor.
