G72-25 Pruning Ornamental Plants (Revised August 1987), R.D. Uhlinger

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

March through May is the best time for pruning lawn trees, junipers, and flowering shrubs. Leaves are gone from the deciduous plants so we can see the branching structure and determine where cuts should be made. Healing occurs most rapidly when growth is starting in the spring, so wounds caused by pruning are quickly healed.

This NebGuide discusses when and how is the best time for pruning plants and the methods and tools to be used to complete the project.

Rb246 Trees And Shrubs For Noise Abatement, David I. Cook, David F. Van Haverbeke

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Excessive noise is a form of environmental pollution. The continual increase in the community noise level during the past two decades indicates a future noise problem comparable to the current air pollution problem of our large industrial centers.

Trees and other forms of vegetation are known to have some effect on the transmission of sound but precise information on their use as noise screens is rather meager. In this study, we attempted to derive accurate, useful information for the above purpose, and to add to knowledge about outdoor sound propagation. Actual plantings of trees and shrubs in the form of …

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Cheese Fondue is a Swiss national dish which combines cheese and bread. In years past, quantities of bread and cheese were made during the winter for use throughout the year. Gradually, both became very hard. To make them more edible, the cheese was melted and the bread dunked in this mixture.

Ec67-1181 19th Century American Furniture And Furnishings, Magdalene Pfister

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

By popular definition an antique is an article one hundred or more years old. It is from the Victorian period that we have the "new antiques." The nineteenth century is considered by many authorities as a time of poor design and bad taste. However, when some of the pieces of furniture were taken from the clutter of patterns and bric-a-brac, they possess a certain charm. The furnishings reflect the ambitious people who were climbing industrially and socially. The history of furnishings in the nineteenth centory has no clear-cut pattern, but many overlapping developments and changing fashions. An industrial revolution was …

Ec63-524 Favorite Holiday Foods

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The Christmas season is the time when the creative homemaker turns magician and hypnotizes her family by whisking from her oven all kinds of foods with holiday glamour. When the family says, "It smells like Christmas," mother has caught the Holiday spirit in the most womanly custom of all, cooking.

Because of our varied ancestry, many foods of many lands have become traditionally American. Sharing of recipes is akin to sharing of Holiday goodies, so a few homemakers have shared some of their old country cooking customs with us.

Rb59-187 The Existing Space In Nebraska Multistory Square Farm Houses, Jerre Lewis Withrow, Florence Mckinney

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Many of our farm homes do not satisfactorily meet the needs of the family and its living patterns. Thirty to 50 years ago little thought was given to certain aspects of housing which are considered essential today. It is obvious, to even the casual observer, that improvements should be made in living space, work areas, utilities and appliances.

The 1959 survey of the two story square house parallels the multi-story tee house study (RB58-186 The Existing Space in Nebraska Multistory Tee Houses) as to area covered and type of data collected. One hundred and seven houses were included …

Cc56-139 Poultry Profit Pointers: Marketing Eggs, Elvin C. Schulte

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The egg represents the marketable, finished produce from the laying flock. Poultry raisers should be familiar with eggs and do everything possible to maintain egg quality. Eggs are a valuable human food because they are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. Like other important protein foods, eggs should be properly handled to protect their quality.

Rb56-178 Streak Mosaic Of Wheat In Nebraska And Its Control, R. Staples, W.B. Allington

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

A mosaic of wheat was first observed in Nebraska by Peltier in 1922. Peltier found diseased plants in a large number of winter and spring wheat varieties at Lincoln, and in some instances, he successfully inoculated wheat and corn from the juice of infected plants. The temperatures under which Peltier maintained his inoculated plants are unknown and other criteria now employed to characterize the viruses were not utilized. It is probable, however, that he was working with what is now known as wheat streak mosaic virus.

This bulletin reports the results of studies on the epidemiology of wheat streak mosaic …

Rb56-176 Influence Of Atmospheric And Soil Moisture Conditions In Diurnal Variations In Relative Turgidity Of Potato Leaves, H.O. Warner

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Great variations in morphological characteristics and in ability to survive heat and drought are observable among the hundreds of varieties and thousands of clones used in modern potato breeding programs.

The experimental work reported herein was planned to determine:

1. The extent and nature of the changes in the relative turgidity (R.T.) of leaves of the potato plant during the diurnal cycle.
2. The extent to which R.T. of potato leaves is influenced by atmospheric conditions, soil moisture, variety and age of plants.
3. The extent to which visible evidence of water shortage in leaves is indicative of water loss from them as …
