Bromegrass Production In Nebraska, A. L. Frolik, L. C. Newell

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

A native of the old world, from central Europe to China, bromegrass was introduced into the United States about 1884. In 1899, the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station reported that "all things considered, it is the most promising cultivated pasture grass for this state that has been tested on the Station farm." Early records of the Station show that considerable seed was distributed to farmers during the period from 1898 to 1902. A few of these early plantings are still in existence. Bromegrass increased in popularity in Nebraska until about 1910. Very little interest was shown in this crop during the …

She plans with her mother so that she can have her share of the family responsibilites. Since a girl needs to learn to buy as well as make things, she will purchase any materials that she needs for her project. However, it is a …

Nebraska Pastures: Seeding And Management, A. L. Frolik, E. F. Frolik

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Pastures are an important source of feed in the livestock industry. Approximately 70 per cent of the income from Nebraska farms is from the sale of livestock and livestock products, and for this reason consideration should be given to the maintenance of good pastures. Poor pastures, like other poor crops, are expensive. Good grass cover is also an effective means of conserving the soil resources.

Nebraska 4-H Clubs: Historical Materials and Publications

Farm forestry is an important part of the study of the general subject of forestry. It has to do with the growing of trees, establishing woodlots and other types of farm tree plantings, their care and utilization. The 4-H forestry club project affords boys and girls the opportunity to study and learn to know many trees and shrubs and something for their uses. Members will plant and care for trees and shrubs for windbreaks, woodlots, erosion control, and to improve the habitat for wildlife. The project affords a fine activity for boys and girls who are interested in the wildlife …

Native Midwestern Pastures: Their Origin, Composition, And Degeneration, J. E. Weaver, W. W. Hansen

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

According to Doctor J. E. Weaver and Mr. W. W. Hansen the purpose of this bulletin is to present certain facts involved in range and pasture management by outlining in some detail the fundamental phenomenon of vegetational change upon which all rational pasture studies must be based. They maintain that the native prairie vegetation is an organic entity in close adjustment with soil and climate, which has developed gradually to its present condition of dynamic stabilization. When the prairie is grazed and trampled, various changes occur, the nature and extent of which vary somewhat directly with the degree of disturbance, …

Test 369: Mccormick-Deering Model W-9 (Gasoline), Nebraska Tractor Test Lab

An Analysis Of Fishing In The Tva Impoundments During 1939, R. William Eschmeyer, Clarence M. Tarzwell

United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications

An inventory of fishing on Norris, a storage reservoir, was begun in 1938. The following year it was extended to Wheeler, a run-of-the-river reservoir, and to the tailwater area below Wilson Dam. This inventory, therefore, covered each of the three general types of fish habitats created by the TVA dams. This discussion is a summary of the 1939 fishing data, together with recommendations for fish management based on the creel census information. The data collected totaled 34,270 usable fishing records, representing a catch of 98,495 fishes.

Ec41-9940 Home Made Bread And Rolls, Mabel Doremus

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Bread making is often referred to as one of the "lost arts." This is far from the truth even in these days when women participate in a wide variey of activities. Today's women are constantly alert to modern trends, and one of the most important concerns is good bread for the family.

Since bread is served so often in one formor another, it is most desirable that it be of excellent quality. The homemaker who takes pride in serving good foods often bakes some or all of the bread for her family. She decides whether she will bake or buy, …

Wildlife Of The Atlantic Coast Salt Marshes, W. L. Mcatee

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Salt marshes of the Atlantic coast have been formed under the opposed tendencies of sinking of the land and of its upbuilding by silt and sand. The plants that form the marshes occupy zones largely determined by the degree of inundation by tides. Eelgrass entirely submerged, smooth cordgrass regularly washed by the tide, and marsh hay covered only by exceptionally high water are characteristic plants. Each zone is the home or feeding area of certain kinds of wildlife. The appearance, distribution, and habits of the more common species are described, and general wildlife conservation is urged. This circular, which is …

A New Fossil Bovid From Nebraska With Notice Of A New Bison Quarry In Texas, C. Bertrand Schultz

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

An interesting and unique bovid skull was reported to the staff of the University of Nebraska State Museum in 1938 by Mr. Alvin McReynolds of Nehawka, Nebraska. The specimen was found in 1933 in a ravine north of Nehawka by Messrs. Merritt and Harold Dodson, brothers. Although the skull was not in place, it appears to have been washed out of a nearby Pleistocene clay deposit by floodwaters. The specimen is well preserved and is of a dark brown, almost black color. In 1938 it was loaned to the Museum for study and photographing but was not obtained as a …

The Ancestral Ursid, Hemicyon, In Nebraska, Edwin H. Colbert

A Shovel-Tusked Mastodon, Arnebelodon Fricki, From Kansas, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, Claude W. Hibbard

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

Since the Amebelodontinae were first announced (Barbour 1927), a number of examples of the genus Amebelodon have presented themselves in various parts of Nebraska, Colorado, and in several places in Kansas. Thus its range has already been materially extended, many skeletal parts added, and the hope kindled that knowledge of this remarkable group of proboscideans is destined to be greatly enriched within the next few years. As may be seen in the accompanying lists of the known parts of Amebelodon preserved in various museums, there are already at hand the bones necessary for the assemblage of a nearly complete composite …

A New Species Of Sphenophalos From The Upper Ogallala Of Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

The genus Sphenophalos was described by John C. Merriam (1909, p. 319-30), who based his description on a fragmentary horn-core (Uni. of Calif. No. 11887) from the late Tertiary deposits near Thousand Creek in northern Humbolt county, Nevada. Knowledge of Sphenophalos, however, is still confined to this single, fragmented type horn-core (Frick 1937, p. 472) and other fragmental specimens (Furlong 1932, p. 27-36).

The Pipy Concretions Of The Arikaree, C. Bertrand Schultz

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

The pipy concretions of the Arikaree (lower Miocene) of Nebraska and adjacent states were first described by Nelson Horatio Darton (1899, p. 743) as "characteristic layers of hard, fine-grained, dark-gray concretions, often consisting of aggregations of long, irregular, cylindrical masses" (see Figures 30, 32, 34, and 35). The individual pipes vary in diameter from a few inches to several feet, and in length from a few inches to a hundred yards or more. Tests demonstrate that pipy concretions are composed of sand cemented by calcium carbonate. When dipped in acid the cement is dissolved and the concretion is reduced to …
