Spraying As An Essential Part Of Profitable Apple Orcharding, R. A. Emerson, R. F. Howard, V. V. Westgate

University of Nebraska Historical Extension: Bulletin

It was therefore planned from the start not merely to demonstrate the possibility of controlling apple insects and diseases but also to determine whether they could be controlled profitably. To accomplish this it was necessary to know: exactly what it cost to spray, what sprayed fruit yielded, and what it was worth in comparison with unsprayed fruit from the same orchards. In every spraying demonstration the time spent in mixing and applying the materials and the quantity of material used were recorded. The cost of labor of men and teams per hour was taken at the orchard owners' estimates and …

The Present Methods Of Teaching Entomology, J. H. Comstock

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

The present methods of teaching entomology followed in the United States have been developed almost entirely by men now teaching this subject. A second generation of teachers has begun its work; but the first is still on the stage. We h3i¥e progressed far enough, however, to make it worth while for the teachers to compare methods, in order that each may profit by the experience of the others. In a conference of this kind the contribution of each to the discussion will be, naturally, at first, merely a statement of the methods evolved in our several widely separated institutions. Then …

Cowboy Songs And Other Frontier Ballads, John A. Lomax

University of Nebraska Studies in Language, Literature, and Criticism

Out in the wild, far-away places of the big and still unpeopled west, in the cañons along the Rocky Mountains, among the mining camps of Nevada and Montana, and on the remote cattle ranches of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, yet survives the Anglo-Saxon ballad spirit that was active in secluded districts in England and Scotland even after the coming of Tennyson and Browning. This spirit is manifested both in the preservation of the English ballad and in the creation of local songs. Illiterate people, and people cut off from newspapers and books, isolated and lonely, thrown back on primal …

Present Methods Of Teaching Entomology At The University Of Nebraska, Lawrence Bruner

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

'When our Secretary sent out his preliminary notification of this meeting and asked me to take part in a discussion of "present methods of teaching Entomology," the matter at first seemed of little importance so far, at least, as the speaker was concerned. However, after giving the subject some thought I have decided that it might be well at least to take the time and trouble to attempt to explain briefly a few of the methods by which the student in Nebraska is enabled to absorb some entomological information. In order to do this with an unbiased feeling it might …

New Elementary Agriculture, Charles E. Bessey, Lawrence Bruner, Goodwin D. Swezey

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

This is an agricultural nation. The products of the soil are the basis of her industries and her prosperity. The children of our great Commonwealths should be familiar with our crops, our grains and grasses, our flowers and fruits, our trees and shrubs and weeds, our domestic animals and birds and insects. Our children should have a practical knowledge of the management of a farm, of the composition of the soil, and of the adaptability of the farm and its soil for the cultivation of certain plants and the counter effect of such plant growth upon the soil. They should …

Fearsome Creatures Of The Lumberwoods: With A Few Desert And Mountain Beasts, William T. Cox, Coert Du Bois

Nebraskiana Publications: Resources and Materials on the 37th State

Every lumber region has its lore. Thrilling tales of adventure are told in camp wherever the logger has entered the wilderness. The lumber jack is an imaginative being, and a story loses none of its interest as it is carried and repeated from one camp to another. Stories which I know to have originated on the Penobscot and the Kennebec are told, somewhat strengthened and improved, in the redwood camps of Humboldt Bay. Yarns originating among the river drivers of the Ottawa, the St. Croix, and the upper Mississippi are respun to groups of listening loggers on Vancouver Island. But …

The Inheritance Of Sizes And Shapes In Plants, R. A. Emerson

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Some years ago Lock reported a cross of a tall race of maize with a shorter race which produced an intermediate height in F₁ and exhibited no segregation in F₂ when crossed back with one of the parents. Castle's results with rabbits are very similar to those of Lock with maize. Castle summarizes his results in part as follows:

A cross between rabbits differing in ear-length produces offspring with ears of intermediate length, varying about the mean of the parental ear-lengths. . . . A study of the offspring of the primary cross-breds shows the blend of the …

The History Of The German-Russian Colony In Lincoln, Hattie Plum Williams

Department of History: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Standing at the corner of Tenth and O streets in the city of Lincoln, Nebraska, any week-day morning between 7:30 and 8 o'clock, you may see pass by you from ten to twenty women with little black woolen shawls on their heads. Ask any citizen who they are, and ninety-nine times in one hundred he will tell you they are "Russians" who live down on the bottoms, that they are going out into the offices and homes to wash and scrub and clean house, and that their husbands are street laborers or work for the railroad. He may then grow …

Oats, E. G. Montgomery

University of Nebraska Historical Extension: Bulletin

There is no more serious question confronting .the Nebraska farmer today than the oat problem. During the past few years, farmers generally believe they have lost money on the crop. It is necessary to grow some spring grain crop, and while many are looking for a substitute, such as barley, speltz, and spring wheat, yet none of these crops takes the place of oats in a satisfactory manner. While soil fertility must receive immediate attention, still our yields would be decidedly increased thru the. use of varieties best adapted to the region, with good preparation of the seed·bed drilling with …

The House Fly (Musca Domestica) And Allies, Lawrence Bruner

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

"Of what use are flies, anyway?" This and similar questions have frequently been asked of the writer by persons who seem to think that each and every living thing has been created solely for some special benefit to man.

Primarily the common house fly (Musca domestica), together with several of its allies which habitually frequent human habitations, are scavengers. In this role they assist in the removal of filth and litter of various sorts that too often are permitted to accumulate in the vicinity of our homes, schools, offices, and ' places of business or pleasure. These flies …
