Nebraska: A Guide To The Cornhusker State (Wpa Guide), Federal Writers’ Project Of The Works Progress Administration For The State Of Nebraska

Nebraskiana Publications: Resources and Materials on the 37th State

The guide to the “Cornhusker State” is full of many interesting photographs of the people and places of Nebraska. They portray a largely agrarian state of hard-working farmers. There is an interesting essay on the unicameral legislature of Nebraska. The guide sticks pretty close to the series format. Eight cities are given detailed descriptions. There are 13 detailed tours of the state.

SOME of us in Nebraska know what it is to have made the first wagon track across an unbroken sea of grass into a new land, with no guide but the sun, the distant hilltops, and our own …

Anatomy And Histology Of The Digestive Tract Of A Deep-Sea Fish Coelorhynchus Carminatus, Elly M. Jacobsen

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

This paper deals with the anatomy and histology of the digestive tube of one of the grenadiers or rat-tails, Coelorhynchus carminatus (Goode), as classified by Jordan & Evermann (1896).1 Many studies on the structure of the digestive tracts of fishes have been made in the past, and pioneer work in the teleost group was done by Valatour in 1861, Pillet in 1894 on the Pleuronectidae, and Gulland in 1898 on the salmon. More recent studies have been made by Greene (1912) on the king salmon, Blake 2 (1930) on the sea bass, and Rogick (1931) on the minnow.

Ecological Study Of The Weed Population Of Eastern Nebraska, Elva L. Norris

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

EXACT knowledge of the relations existing between weeds and cultivated crops is very limited. This is true also of the amount of viable weed seed present in arable soil. Impressions and observations have been recorded, but very few quantitative investigations have been made. The numerous circulars and bulletins about weeds, issued by many experiment stations, deal mostly with descriptions of species and methods of weed control. The present research was undertaken primarily to determine the relationship which exists between weeds and cultivated crops, but also to obtain an estimation of the number of viable weed seeds present in the soil. …

The White River Oligocene Rodent Diplolophus, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, Thompson M. Stout

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

The rich and varied nature of the mammalian faunas of the White River Oligocene has been recognized for many years, but the exact geologic succession is only now becoming known. In these faunal assemblages the rodents and lagomorphs appear to have been important elements, perhaps numerically as abundant in the Oligocene as are these same groups at present.

Increase Of Sporobolus Cryptandrus In Pastures Of Eastern Nebraska, J. E. Weaver, Walter W. Hansen

Papers of John E. Weaver (1884–1956)

The severe drought of 1934 to 1938 has resulted in great losses in the plant
populations of native pastures. In Nebraska, little bluestem, Andropogon scoparius, and Kentucky bluegrass, Poa pratensis, have almost disappeared, while big bluestem, Andropogon furcatus, and numerous other important pasture grasses have suffered heavy losses. In addition to shiftings within the plant populations to compensate these losses, such as an enormous increase in side-oats grama, Bouteloua curtipendula, notable and widely spread local extensions have occurred. Over thousands of pastures western wheat grass, Agropyron smithii, has spread widely, and in similar numbers sand …
