Nebraska Farm Building Data For Panhandle Counties Taken From U.S. Census, R. M. Loper

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

The Material given on the following pages was selected from united States Census data for the years indicated.

It has been arranged to permit analysis and comparison of building trends since 1900, both in the state and in individual counties. Such a study often reveals areas in which effective educational programs could be develol)ed and indicates the phases of such programs which are needed most.

Unfortunately, complete 1945 figures are not available yet, but space has been left for them so that they may be added when released by the Census Buroau.

Nebraska Farm Building Data For North-East Counties Taken From U.S. Census, R. M. Loper

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

Fluctuation in the number of farms since the start of the century reflects economic trends, drouth effects and the results of increasing mechanization, particularly since 1935.

The 1945 figures also show the influence of land taken out of production for use as air bases, ordnance plants and ammuition depots. No doubt some of this will be returned eventually to agricultural uses. Since the buildings were removed from this land during the war some new sets probably. will be constructed when individual ownership is obtained again. Such activities present excellent opportunities for developing farmsteads efficiently and attractively arranged; buildings designed to …

Aircraft Quality Casting Standards, Robert Katz, Robert Bolin , Depositor

Robert Katz Publications

These standards are to be used in connection with the Handbook for Instructions for Aircraft Designers, 8^th Edition …

In the radiography of aircraft castings, markings appearing on the film may be attributed to either the condition of the castings examined, or to some details of the radiographic process entirely unrelated to the quality of the castings, These latter patterns must be recognized and related to the radiographic process so that sound castings will not be unnecessarily rejected. Radiographs must be carefully compared with the surface irregularities of the casting they represent before an attempt is made to …

An Analysis Of Pressure Gasoline And Pressure Kerosene Stoves, Arnold E. Baragar

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

During the past few years inquiries have been received regarding the cost of operation, efficiency, and performance of pressure gasoline and pressure kerosene stoves. Because of the method of operation and the use of gasoline as fuel, safety from fire and carbon monoxide has been frequently questioned. Not only is it necessary to have technical information about this type of appliance in order to compare it with other types but it is further important to know whether one type of burner is superior to another; whether one type of oven construction will give better results than another and in general …
