Nebraska State and Local Tax Collections: 1965 (E. B. Schmidt)

Information concerning the amounts of tax revenue derived from the various taxes in Nebraska is in scant supply. No single agency is charged by law with responsibility for collecting and reporting such data, and without such central direction it is impossible to coordinate a system of comprehensive reporting. While the Bureau of the Census of the United States Department of Commerce collects and publishes such information every five years, the latest report covering the period ended June 30, 1962:, is considerably out-of-date. This study is intended to supply reasonably comprehensive …

Nebraska County and City Population Estimates for 1965 (Edward L. Hauswald)

Nebraska's population is estimated to have been 1,498,733 at the end of 1965. This represents an increase of 0.9 percent for the year as compared with an increase of 0.4 in 1964. In the five years since 1960, the state's population rose by about 6 percent. (A Census Bureau estimate places Nebraska's mid-year 1965 population at 1,477,000 of 0.4 percent above that at mid-year 1964 and 4.7 percent above that of April, 1960). Our county estimates appear in Table I, page 4; their pattern of change is shown in …

Recent Income Growth in Nebraska (E. S. Wallace)

The latest official (preliminary) figures on Nebraska income published by the Department of Commerce show that total personal income in Nebraska increased by 9.4% in 1965 as compared with a national increased of 7.2% and that per capita personal income rose 9% in the state, but only 5.8% in the nation. Estimates published by Business Week indicate that his favorable relationship is continuing in 1966. They show, in fact, that only two states in the continental United States- Iowa and Vermont- exceeded in Nebraska's 11.3% increase in personal income during the first …

Growth of Nebraska Homegrown Industries (Dorothy Switzer)

Nebraska is still in need of some impetus to change its sluggish performance in the field of employment and to offset or absorb the continued exodus in agriculture, as was pointed out in an article on the state employment situation in the October issue of Business in Nebraska. In many Nebraska communities precisely this impetus has been given by the ingenuity and business acumen of men and women who have developed homegrown industries. The story of some of these industries was told in the February, 1966, issue and elicited much interest not only …

Commercial Farm Law: The Uniform Commercial Code, Thomas B. Allington, Clayton K. Yeutter

Department of Agricultural Economics: Faculty Publications

Commercial law includes such topics as sales contracts, notes, checks, shipping and storage documents, and a variety of financing instruments. Over the years much of the law on these topics has become complex, confusing, and often obsolete. The Uniform Commercial Code, or U.C.C., is designed, first, to bring about uniformity in state laws governing commerce, and second, to clarify, simplify, and modernize these laws. The Code's success in this respect is shown by the fact that it has now been adopted by almost all states. It became effective in Nebraska on September 2, 1965. Drafting of the U.C.C. dates back …

Homegrown Industries in Nebraska (Dorothy Switzer and E. S. Wallace)

In July, 1965, we reprinted from the Texas Business Review an article dealing with "Homegrown Industries" in that state. At that time we expressed the hope that we might find the ingenuity of Nebraskans was at least equal to that of Texans and asked for information on similar industries in Nebraska.

Manufacturing in Nebraska (E. L. Hauswald)

This article is based on data from the last complete census of manufacturing taken in 1963. Developments subsequent to 1963 have been sufficient to modify the situation described herein. The efforts of the Nebraska Division of Resources have produced results not recorded in the 1963 census. Recent reactivation's of operations related to the national security and expansions of industries in several of the state's communities could not be incorporated in this analysis. The aggregate impact of these developments will not be ascertainable until the next census of manufacturing.

Pattern of Growth in Nebraska (E. S. Wallace)

Within the past year we have published Nebraska data on personal income (March), population (April), retail trade (May), the service business (June), wholesale trade (July), and employment (September). In each of these except the last, city and/or county figures have been presented to depict the changes that have been taking place in different parts of the state. The present article is an attempt to combine these six indicators of economic activity into a composite picture showing the pattern of growth within Nebraska.

Sources of County Income in Nebraska: 1950 and 1962 (Wallace C. Peterson)

This is the fourth report of a preliminary character on the findings of a comprehensive research study of personal income in Nebraska's 93 counties. Earlier reports in this series appeared in Business in Nebraska in June, October, and November, 1964. A Bureau Bulletin, which will contain the complete data developed in this study, as well as an explanation of the methodology used, is being prepared for publication in the Spring of 1965.

County and City Population Estimates for 1964 (E. S. Wallace and E. L. Hauswald)

During 1964 Nebraska's total population grew by less than one-half of one percent to reach a year-end total of 1,498,375. The percentage increase is less than one-fourth of that achieved in each of the preceding three years since the 1960 census, but appears to be in line with the 1964 increases of 0.2% and 0.5% respectively in the state's civilian labor force and number or employed persons reported in January by the state Department of Labor. Our figures also appears to be in line with the …

Personal Income in Nebraska (E. S. Wallace)

In his new bulletin on "Personal Income in Nebraska and Nebraska Counties: 1950-1962," announced elsewhere in this issue, Professor Wallace Peterson says: "Income has come to be regarded as the best and most comprehensive single measure of the general level of economic activity and well-being for a nation, for a state, and for regions." This article will attempt a brief analysis of the relative "well-being" of the state of Nebraska in terms of this concept, covering a somewhat longer period of time that that included in Professor Peterson's study and making use of …

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.

Electric Chick Brooding Studies, F. D. Yung, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Perhaps one of the most valuable lessons to be learned from a study of chick brooding is that good results can often be obtained in more ways than one. In carrying on work with electric brooders at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station, special attention has been given to such factors as insulation and to other details of design which effect economy of operation and ease of construction. Low cost rather than "cheapness" has been the ideal. The work has been cooperative between the Agricultural Engineering Department and the Poultry Husbandry Department of the University of Nebraska.

Poultry Progress: Our Egg Marketing Job, F. E. Mussehl, H. C. Filley

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Eggs are one of the products which Nebraska farm families exchange for the necessities and comforts of life. Although values are measured in dollars and cents, the interest of the producers centers in the amount of useful goods and services that the eggs will buy rather than in the price per dozen or per case. Farmers are interested in a fair exchange value because they wish better homes, better schools, better churches, and better communities in general. In the typical Nebraska community, not only farmers but physicians, merchants, mechanics and school teachers are dependent for their income, either directly or …

Poultry Progress: What Are Good Chickens?, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The desire for improvement is one of the highest of human virtues. Folks everywhere want good chickens. The poultry business is a competitive enterprise, and it is imperative that we have the best stock possible for the particular job to be done. But what are good chickens? Is there confusion about the term? Perhaps we can clarify the picture by asking one or two questions.
