Their influence on the agricultural development of the state is well known, but their relation to water supply in general is not so well understood.

This research bulletin is a brief review of the relation of drouth to soil moisture, surface water, and groundwater supplies.

Rb34-71 Effects Of Inflation And Deflation Upon Nebraska Agriculture, 1914 To 1932, H. Clyde Filley

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Nebraska farmers prospered during the period which followed the depression of the nineties and preceded the beginning of the World War. To be sure the prosperity was not uniformly distributed either by years or by areas. The corn crop was unusually short in a large portion of the state in 1901 and an almost total failure in many of the southern counties in 1913. Chinch bugs did considerable injury in 1901 and the Hessian fly in 1905 and 1914. There was noticeable damage from insects in some areas in other years. No part of the state, however, suffered from long-continued …

Primary Handwriting And Its Correlation With Other Primary Activities, Evelyn L. Pfeiffer

Bachelors’ Theses

A brief study of the countless ages covered by the development of writing from its most primitive state to that employed by the nations of today, and how our own alphabet has reached such a high stage of development through the slow but steady improvements made by our ancestors may help us to realize the importance and great magnitude of this heritage and inspire us to teach it to our children in such a way as to give them "a common understanding of the past and a vision of the future." It may help them to know about the thoughts …

Ec33-136 Corn In Nebraska, P.H. Stewart, D.L. Gross, T.A. Kiesselbach

This is three times the acreage of wheat, four times that of oats, and ten times that of barley. The 10-year average acre yield of corn for this state is 25.8 bushels compared with 26.9 bushels for the entire United States. Nebraska, with an average annual crop of approximately 258 million bushels, usually ranks third among all states in the total production of corn, being exceeded by Iowa and …

Ec33-940 Home Baking Of Breads, Florence J. Atwood

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Bread in some form is one article of food that is served on the table three times a day. No other single article of food has as constant a place in the daily menu. Bread is often the main item for breakfasts and suppers. The combination of bread and milk lends itself to an economical meal.

Breadmaking is not a difficult task. The splendid flours and reliable yeasts which are available have done much in helping to assure success in breadmaking. Home baking offers opportunities for variety in menus at low cost.

The Teaching Of Current Events, Bernard C. Wiczynski

Bachelors’ Theses

The method of teaching current events received little or no attention by educators until after the World War. Teacher training institutions offered no courses in the subject; textbooks on methods failed to treat current events, because as a study it had not been given a formal place in the curriculum; and as a consequence, the classroom teacher, if she taught the subject at all, devoted but a few minutes a week from the history class to this branch of study. Because of the lack of proper guidance, current events was, as a rule, poorly taught.

Minimum Essentials In Spelling, Punctuation, Capitalization And English Grammar : Being A Study To Determine What Spelling, Punctuation, Capitalization And Grammar Should Be Studied In The Junior High School And To Determine What Items Of Grammar Should Be Stressed., John Riley Beard

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There is considerable interest in minimum essentials in English. This interest is manifested in educational periodicals, pamphlets and monographs that have given the results of surveys that have been made in order to find out what the minimum essentials should be. Not only periodicals treat of the subject, but books also are being written which are devoted entirely or in part to the minimum essentials. Practice pads and other devices are other evidences of an effort to aid those who are trying to teach the essentials. The criticism of the colleges and the technical training schools is that their entering …

Modern Concepts Of The Teaching Of Geography, Cora S. Peterson

Bachelors’ Theses

Geography as a subject has had a very slow growth in comparison with other subjects of the school curriculum in our schools as well as in European institutions of learning - its growth has, indeed, been slow - from a descriptive stage, through the present pseudoscientific stage, to the ideal stage of the future: that of a philosophical science. This coming science occupies a most important position in a well balanced scheme of education. It should, therefore, be taught in such a manner, particularly in the elementary schools, that it will be productive of that wide, deep, and practical culture …
