50 Years Of Research At The North Platte Experiment Station, W. W. Burr, J. C. Adams
50 Years Of Research At The North Platte Experiment Station, W. W. Burr, J. C. Adams
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The North Platte Experiment was established fifty years ago. So many changes have occurred since then that few people remember why research in dry land agriculture was started in Nebraska and other Great Plains states. In order to get a proper perspective, it may be well to consider some early history.
External Parasites Of Poultry And Methods For Their Control, O. S. Bare
External Parasites Of Poultry And Methods For Their Control, O. S. Bare
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
External parasites cause severe losses to Nebraska poultry producers each year, and in many cases may be the deciding factor between success and failure. Under present circumstances, when maximum production is essential, prompt and effective measures must be taken to hold these saboteurs in check.
Controlling Stored-Grain Pests On Nebraska Farms, H. D. Tate, D. B. Whelan
Controlling Stored-Grain Pests On Nebraska Farms, H. D. Tate, D. B. Whelan
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Warfare against destructive insects is not ended when grain has been placed in the bin. Here it is subject to attack by stored-grain pests which reduce its weight, feeding quality, and value for seed. These losses become especially serious when large stocks of grain are held for extended periods on farms and in warehouses. This circular describes methods available for handling and storage that will prevent or suppress infestations before they reach serious proportions.
Control Of The Chinch Bug In Nebraska, M. H. Swenk, H. D. Tate
Control Of The Chinch Bug In Nebraska, M. H. Swenk, H. D. Tate
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The chinch bug, Blissus leucopterus (Say), is one of the most injurious insect pests of cereal crops in the United States. Although some damage by it has occurred over a wide area in the United States, the greatest injury has been in the Corn Belt. The years in which the chinch bug appears in destructive abundance come irregularly in cycles of varying duration, and the length of these cycles is largely controlled by the direct or indirect effects of weather upon the bugs. Continued dry weather favors them, while very wet weather brings about their destruction. During the last seven …
Control Of Stored Grain Pests In Nebraska, M. H. Swenk, D. B. Whelan
Control Of Stored Grain Pests In Nebraska, M. H. Swenk, D. B. Whelan
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
At the close of 1939 about twice the amount of wheat was in storage in Nebraska as compared to the close of 1938. Frequently a new crop of grain goes into storage before the preceding older grain leaves the farm, and, due to inadequate storage space, the crops are not kept separated, thus promoting an early infestation of the new grain from the older grain that has become infested. Under such conditions the damage by stored grain pests becomes a matter of unusual importance.
Spraying Tree Fruits, C. C. Wiggans, E. H. Hoppert
Spraying Tree Fruits, C. C. Wiggans, E. H. Hoppert
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The production of sound, clean fruit is unquestionably one of the major problems facing the modern fruit grower. Culture may be neglected and pruning delayed for a time but the omission of sprays for even a single season demonstrates their absolute necessity. This applies equally to the commercial grower and to the farmer or gardener who has only a few trees.
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 Insects And Mites Injurious To Poultry In Nebraska And Their Control, M. H. Swenk, F. E. Mussehl
The Insects And Mites Injurious To Poultry In Nebraska And Their Control, M. H. Swenk, F. E. Mussehl
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
There are a number of different kinds of insect and mites (arthropods) that are more or less injurious to poultry in Nebraska. This circular is designed to give practical information concerning these pests and their control.

The Chinch Bug And Its Control, M. H. Swenk
The Chinch Bug And Its Control, M. H. Swenk
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
During the last half century there have been five separated and well-marked chinch bug outbreaks, or periods of serious damage, in Nebraska, and we are now approaching the climax of a sixth such period. As to just how serious this present outbreak will be in 1925 no one can now say, because no one can exactly forecast the weather conditions of the summer, but the present situation is sufficiently menacing to make advisable the issuing of this circular, which aims to give the essential information concerning the chinch bug as a Nebraska pest, and the locally applicable means of control.
The Plains False Wireworm And Its Control, M. H. Swenk
The Plains False Wireworm And Its Control, M. H. Swenk
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The last three crops of winter wheat, and especially the crop of 1922-23, have been seriously injured in southwestern Nebraska and especially on the dry land farms of Cheyenne, Kimball, Banner, Morrill, Garden, Deuel , Keith, Perkins, and Hitchcock Counties, by an abundance of hard-bodied, cylindrical, shining waxy yellow, soil-infesting larvae. These greatly resemble wireworms and are often mistaken for them, but they differ conspicuously in being more active and having well-developed, club-shaped antennae, long and stout front legs, and a less flattened body with a distinctly upturned tip. These larvae destroy the planted seed in the fall and eat …
Insect Pests Of Stored Grains And Their Control, M. H. Swenk
Insect Pests Of Stored Grains And Their Control, M. H. Swenk
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
In Nebraska there are about 20 species of insects that injure stored grain more or less. Some are beetles and their larvae, others are the caterpillars of small moths. To the farmer all are "weevil," although that name is really properly applied only to two beetle species-the granary weevil and the rice weevil. The following paragraphs and illustrations will describe the several more important stored grain pests to be found in this State, so that the farmer may recognize the particular pest or pests that are doing the injury to his grain, and may then apply the proper remedy.
