Land Transfers In Twelve Counties In Nebraska, 1928-1933, L. F. Garey

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The land transfers in twelve counties in Nebraska for the period 1928 to 1933 have been studied and the findings are submitted in this bulletin. The data on which the study is based were obtained from records in the office of the Register of Deeds in each county and from other sources and include transfers which occurred during the period indicated. The counties included in the study are Boone, Cass, Cuming, Dakota, Dawes, Frontier, Gage, Hamilton, Harlan, Lancaster, Nuckolls, and Valley.


The Tax System Of Nebraska With Special Reference To Its Relation To Agriculture, L. B. Snyder Oct 1938

The Tax System Of Nebraska With Special Reference To Its Relation To Agriculture, L. B. Snyder

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Progress in governmental affairs calls for constant study of matters pertaining to government. The recent agitation for moratoria on debts and taxes and the many tax reforms suggested are evidence of the need for such study. Before satisfactory reforms can be made, information on receipts and expenditures by governmental agencies must be secured. The expense connected with collecting, tabulating, and analyzing such data has prevented private agencies of the state from doing this. Because it was felt that such information would be useful and could be obtained by the College of Agriculture, this study was undertaken.

A Proposed Method For Classifying And Evaluating Soils On The Basis Of Productivity And Use Suitabilities, Arthur Anderson, A. P. Nelson, F. A. Hayes, I. D. Wood

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

It is the object of this paper to present a method for classifying and evaluating the soils as mapped in regular soil surveys on the basis of land types, which are here defined as areas having reasonably similar productivity and use suitabilities. The standards used to differentiate land types will vary according to the desired objectives, but any material difference in yield, or in practices necessary to maintain a desirable level of productivity will justify recognition of land types. The proposed procedure involves a more detailed study of the influence which soils, slope, erosion, and drainage have on specific crops …
