Finally, they are asked to compare their constructed essay to one presumed to have been written by another college student.
The Hognose Snake: A Prairie Survivor For Ten Million Years, M. R. Voorhies, R. G. Corner, Harvey L. Gunderson
The Hognose Snake: A Prairie Survivor For Ten Million Years, M. R. Voorhies, R. G. Corner, Harvey L. Gunderson
University of Nebraska State Museum: Programs Information
Because they hiss and strike violently when aroused, the harmless little hognose snakes are often considered to be poisonous by people who encounter them. They are not venomous but are truly remarkable animals with specialized behavior and anatomy unusually well suited for life in the grasslands of central North America.
The University of Nebraska State Museum has recently acquired fossil evidence regarding the evolutionary history of these common Great Plains reptiles. We can now trace the record of the hognose snakes back to a time long before the arrival of man, the bison, or even the mammoth on the North …

Some Important Projectile Point Types From Nebraska, Thomas P. Myers, Harvey L. Gunderson
University of Nebraska State Museum: Programs Information
Archaeologists apply the term "projectile point" to a wide range of tools. Although they used to think projectile points were used only for spears, they now realize hat the heavier, ill-shaped points were used as knives. Ahler 1971).
Projectile points can be made from just about anything that can be sharpened, including stone, glass, wood, bone, and metal. Flaked stone points are most common in Nebraska, although metal points and occasionally bone points have been found.

G77-331 Sampling Feeds For Analyses, Bruce Anderson, Terry L. Mader, Rick Grant
G77-331 Sampling Feeds For Analyses, Bruce Anderson, Terry L. Mader, Rick Grant
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Sampling is the key to accurate feed analyses and properly balancing livestock rations. Here's how to do it.
Accurate feed analyses are needed to balance livestock rations, correctly price hay, formulate least cost supplements, and efficiently allocate homegrown feeds to the proper class of livestock. Sampling is the most important factor affecting accuracy of feed analyses.
The feed value of most forages varies. Therefore, test forages routinely to determine their best and most economical use. With adequate forage testing, you can develop an accurate forage inventory which allows you to efficiently allocate higher quality forage to high-producing livestock and poorer …

G77-346 Land Use Decisions, Duane A. Olsen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
New challenges associated with scarce energy and the natural environment have focused attention upon the conflict between public and private interests in land. A review of the characteristics of these public and private interests seems useful for the evaluation of present and future land use policies.

G77-334 Timber Sale Contracts, Rick Hamilton
G77-334 Timber Sale Contracts, Rick Hamilton
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
A good contract protects both seller and buyer from legal problems arising from the harvest and sale of standing timber.
A timber sale contract is a legally binding written document governing the terms of a timber sale. A good contract protects both seller and buyer from legal problems arising from the harvest and sale of standing timber.
Timber has historically been sold under gentlemen's agreements. These verbal agreements have caused seller and buyer dissatisfaction and loss of trust. A contract clarifies the obligations of both parties prior to timber harvest.

G77-357 Selecting Alfalfa Varieties For Nebraska (Revised December 1997), Bruce Anderson, Michael Trammell, Patrick E. Reece
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Yield potential, pest resistance and seed price all should be considered in selecting alfalfa varieties in Nebraska. This NebGuide discusses them.
The most important variety decision made on many farms and ranches is the selection of alfalfa. The choice of alfalfa variety affects production for three to 10 or more years, whereas varieties of annual crops can be changed every year.
Many alfalfa varieties are available from private and public plant breeders. Over the years, yield trials conducted at widely distributed Nebraska locations have tested most varieties sold in the state.
Heg77-76 Pressing Methods (Revised April 1981), Thelma Thompson
Heg77-76 Pressing Methods (Revised April 1981), Thelma Thompson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses pressing methods that will not mar or distort the fabric.
A skillful job of pressing requires time, practice and the use of methods that will not mar the fabric. Pressing should not make the fabric shine, flatten the pile or nap, or distort the texture or weave.
Pressing is not ironing. In ironing, the iron is pushed from one spot to another in an unbroken motion to remove wrinkles. In pressing, the iron is lifted up and set down in a particular spot to flatten or shape small areas. To prevent the fabric from stretching, do not …
G77-328 Irrigation Water Quality Criteria, Gary W. Hergert, Delno Knudsen
G77-328 Irrigation Water Quality Criteria, Gary W. Hergert, Delno Knudsen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide is intended to provide guidelines to help understand and interpret chemical water quality test results.
All well and stream waters contain dissolved minerals. The amounts and kinds of minerals vary from one location to another and may vary with time. When irrigation water is applied, the mineral salts are left in the soil after the crop has used the water. Most of these mineral salts are beneficial to crop growth and soil condition, but in some cases they may be harmful. Irrigation water quality problems may be caused by (1) total mineral salts accumulating so that crops no …
G77-382 Right Crop Stage For Herbicide Use Corn, Sorghum, Small Grains (Revised May 1992), Drew J. Lyon, Robert G. Wilson Jr., Alex Martin
G77-382 Right Crop Stage For Herbicide Use Corn, Sorghum, Small Grains (Revised May 1992), Drew J. Lyon, Robert G. Wilson Jr., Alex Martin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Herbicides recommended for postemergence application in corn, sorghum, and small grains are discussed in this NebGuide. Proper timing of postemergence herbicides is essential to achieve maximum weed control and minimum crop injury. As field crops grow and mature, their tolerance to herbicides changes. As a general rule, annual and biennial weeds are more susceptible to postemergence herbicides when they are in the seedling stage. As they mature they become increasingly difficult to control, facing the grower with the problem of when to apply the herbicide to achieve the least crop injury and the most satisfactory weed control. Field crops differ …

G77-367 Cost Components Of The Farm-Retail Price Spread For Beef, Allen Wellman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The farm-retail spread for beef is the difference between the retail price of 1 pound of Choice beef and the farm value of live Choice steer, less the value of the by-products (hide, tallow, etc.).
This NebGuide discusses the trends, costs and profits, problems of price spreads.

ADAPT Program: Essays
Puzzles testing proportional reasoning were done by twenty-five hundred students in beginning science courses. Responses indicated each student's stage of intellectual development a la Piaget. Final examination questions demanding either formal reasoning or only concrete reasoning were given in the same courses. Examination performance and proportional reasoning ability are correlated.
Concepts Of Career And General Education, Paul A. Olson
Concepts Of Career And General Education, Paul A. Olson
Department of English: Faculty Publications
This paper examines the distinctions between general education and education for a career, with a view to synthesizing the literature and presenting salient problems. General education can be defined in several ways. It is defined here as education that puts a person in touch with the main outlines of knowledge available to a historical period or a given culture. Theoretically, education is general if it has no one specific vocation as its end and no one specific discipline or partisan viewpoint as its specialty. By way of example, the medieval quadrivium and trivium can be viewed as "general education," in …

G77-386 Wheat In Poultry Rations, T.W. Sullivan, E.W. Gleaves
G77-386 Wheat In Poultry Rations, T.W. Sullivan, E.W. Gleaves
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication examines the advantages and disadvantages of wheat as a component of poultry feed.
Wheat is usually considered a source of human food rather than an ingredient for poultry and livestock feeds. This is especially true in the United States, where corn, milo and other feed grains are abundantly produced. In recent years one of every two bushels of wheat produced in the United States has been exported. If world production and supplies of wheat are high, a surplus develops and wheat prices are lowered. When this situation occurs wheat becomes an attractive alternative to corn or milo in …
G77-338 Open Burning (Revised March 1984), Donald E. Westover
G77-338 Open Burning (Revised March 1984), Donald E. Westover
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
People have been using fire in their cleanup chores for hundreds of years. One of the most common reasons for burning on the farm and in the city alike, has been to dispose of leaves and garden residues in the spring and fall of the year. Another common practice has been to burn tree limbs and stumps, fence posts, even old haystacks on the farm. Open burning has been done on a variety of scales, from jobs as small as burning the day's trash in the backyard burning barrel to jobs as large as burning wheat stubble after harvest.
