Judging Quality In Dairy Products, P. A. Downs

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

In the dairy industry increasing attention is being paid to the question of quality of products. The well established system of buying and selling butter and cheese on the basis of quality by score or grade is practiced in the principal markets of the world. The other dairy products, while not marketed by score, are receiving more and more attention in this respect. As more information becomes available and the judging better standardized, other dairy products will doubtless be sold by grade.

Artificial Insemination Of Turkeys, H. L. Wiegers

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Artificial insemination should be used for turkeys when results from natural matings are unsatisfactory. There is no hard and fast fertility rule to follow and each breeder will have his own basis of appraisal for the different varieties of turkeys. But one can say that when fertility drops below 65 per cent it is time to take action.

Each unit in Nebraska is subdivided into three parts (Lower, Middle, and Upper; or A, B, and C for the Chadron and Whitney, and A-B, C, and D for the Orella).

Law Making By Professional And Trade Associations, Frederick K. Beutel

Nebraska Law Review

When the government of the United States was established, it adopted in its complete form the English legislative system which existed at the foundation of the colonies. This structure, including the committee systems, has come down almost unchanged to modern times. In addition there are in the United States fifty other independent law-making bodies having a large measure of sovereignty of their own which govern the forty-eight states and our two major territories now petitioning for statehood. To these there should be added over one hundred thousand local legislative bodies such as city councils, county commissioners, school boards, irrigation districts, …

Analysis Of Business Lotteries And Promotions In Nebraska, Clarence A. H. Meyer

Nebraska Law Review

The most frequent inquiry received by the Attorney General of Nebraska relates to the law on lotteries. Although this officer is authorized by statute to give opinions only to state officers and county attorneys, the questions from other sources are answered as well as circumstances will permit. The scope of the answers is necessarily limited unless the request originates with a county attorney. The office of the Attorney General never gives outright written approval of a particular scheme since the scheme in operation may vary in some significant detail. Also, promoters do not hesitate in using reproductions of official approval …

Use Of Life Insurance In Estate Planning Under The Internal Revenue Code Of 1954, Flavel A. Wright

Nebraska Law Review

Life insurance, for tax purposes, has been treated as a separate type of property and, generally, the rules applying to other types of property are not applicable to insurance problems. Life insurance is supposed to receive favored treatment on the theory that it promotes the general good to encourage people to provide for their future and for the care of their dependents.

Nebraska Law Review

Attorney And Client—Attorney’S Liens—"Money" And The Charging Lien, Robert Berkshire

Nebraska Law Review

Attorneys in Nebraska are aided in collecting compensation for their services by the attorney’s lien statute. The object of the lien statute is to protect the attorney against bad faith and ingratitude by clients, as well as collusion between a client and the adverse party which operates to deprive the attorney of his just compensation. It is the purpose of this article to expose some of the difficulties inherent in the application of the statute, study the arguments which support the various interpretations thereof, and proffer recommendations for the correction and amplification of the statute.

Sovereign Liability For Tortious Acts Of Its Wards Occasioned By Failure To Exercise Proper Custodial Care, Charles K. Thompson

Nebraska Law Review

Periodically the public reads of the injury of a citizen other than a state employee at the hands of a former mental patient who either escaped because of inadequate guarding or was released from a state or federal institution because of an improper release-diagnosis. The public assumes that the injured party will be reimbursed, but who will bear the burden of reimbursement? Confinement often leaves the patient judgment proof; the employee whose negligence allowed the escape is frequently judgment proof; the employee who negligently certified the release of an unrehabilitated patient is clothed with immunity from suit on his release-discretion; …

Criminal Law—The Need For A New Conception Of Insanity As A Defense To A Crime In Nebraska, Lyman C. Johnson

Nebraska Law Review

In 1843 a man named M’Naghten, convinced he was being persecuted, attempted to assassinate the Prime Minister of England and killed the Prime Minister’s secretary in the attempt. M’Naghten was acquitted by reason of insanity, but public uproar caused the House of Lords to make inquiry of the judges concerning the law of insanity. The most important answer to that inquiry was that a sane man understands the nature and quality of his acts or knows that they are wrong.

In 1955, over one hundred years later, a man named Thompson fired five shots at his wife in Omaha, Nebraska; …
