Spring Mortality Of Insectivorous Birds In Southern Manitoba, Jerome R. Serie, Robert E. Jones

United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications

Migrating passerines frequently encounter adverse weather during their northward movements in early spring. Inclement weather often causes temporary halt of migrating passerines short of their destinations (Curtis 1969). In May 1974, such a grounding of spring migrants occurred in southwestern Manitoba due to unseasonable weather. Many insectivorous birds became weakened or died of starvation as a result of exposure to low temperatures, depletion of fat reserves, and lack of available food.

Arrival of Spring Migrants

The first large influx of insectivorous birds, mainly Myrtle (Dendroica coronado coronata) and Yellow (Dendroica petechia) Warblers, was noted on 19 …

Four-Color And Hβ Photometry Of The Galactic Cluster Ngc 6633, Edward G. Schmidt

Edward Schmidt Publications

Photometric measurements of stars in the intermediate-age galactic cluster NGC 6633 are presented. From these data the color excess is found to vary slightly across the cluster with an average of E_{b – y} = 0^m.124. The distance modulus is found to be 7^m.711 and the turnoff occurs at about (b – y)₀ = 0^m.l. The cluster is slightly metal poor.

Columnaris Disease Of Fishes, S. F. Snieszko, G. L. Bullock

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Columnaris disease is a chronic to acute infection that affects salmonids and many species of warmwater fishes. The first description of the disease was given by Davis (1922) who named the disease and bacterium from the columnar arrangement of cells as seen in wet mounts. The bacterium causing columnaris disease was first isolated by Ordal and Rucker (1944). They identified the organism as belonging to the group known as slime bacteria or myxobacteria; because it produced fruiting bodies and microcysts, they named it Chondrococcus columnaris. Garnjobst (1945), who was unable to find fruiting bodies, renamed it Cytophaga columnaris. …

G76-301 How To Tell Corn, Sorghum Maturity, J.D. Eastin, J.T. Hultquist, C.Y. Sullivan

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Researchers have discovered a way to tell when corn and grain sorghum have stopped filling — when they are physiologically mature. A layer of cells near the point where the kernel is attached to the plant turns dark brown as the kernel nears maturity and, finally, black when the kernel is mature.

This NebGuide discusses how to read maturity in the layers of corn and sorghum.

G76-294 Band Application Of Herbicides (Revised March 1986), Russell S. Moomaw, Alex Martin

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Many row crop producers prefer to use hebicide band applications because of reduced costs. Savings can be substantial with the more expensive materials. Properly applied, band applications of herbicides can satisfactorily protect the crop from weed growth. Herbicide row banding can be done either at crop planting time or postemergence after the crop and weeds have emerged.

G76-303 Large Round Bale Safety (Revised June 1995), Robert D. Grisso, David Morgan, Rollin D. Schnieder

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide covers the safety aspects for equipment used in large round bale packages such as: balers, front-end loaders, bale handling and transport devices.

Large round baling creates unique safety problems for farmers and ranchers. Large round balers have many moving parts that can cause injury or death if a person becomes entangled. Never leave the tractor seat until the PTO (power take-off) has been disengaged, the engine is shut off, and all moving parts have stopped.

G76-314 Native Wood Fence Posts (Revised February 1990), Thomas L. Schmidt, Michael R. Kuhns

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This guide evaluates native Nebraska tree species for use as wooden fence posts.

Fencing is a major part of most farming and ranching operations. Fences are costly and require regular repair and maintenance. Wood fence posts cut from native Nebraska trees can be less expensive than steel posts or wood posts imported from other states. When deciding whether to use native wood fence posts, consider durability, availability and ease of handling.
