Results Of The Eleventh International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery Grown In 1979, S. L. Kuhr, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern, J. W. Schmidt
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins
This is the eleventh report of results from an International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery (IWWPN) organized in 1968 by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), U.S. Department of Agriculture, under contract number AID/ta-C-1093 with the U.S. International Development Corporation, Agency for International Development. The Nursery was designed to (1) test the adaptation and stability of winter wheat cultivars in a range of latitudes, daylengths, fertility conditions, water management regimes, and disease complexes; (2) identify superior winter cultivars to serve as recipient genotypes for high protein and high lysine genes; (3) test the degree …
G83-652 Seeding And Renovating Alfalfa, Bruce Anderson, James T. Nichols
G83-652 Seeding And Renovating Alfalfa, Bruce Anderson, James T. Nichols
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses alfalfa production, including site selection and preparation, fertilization, variety selection, seeding, companion crops, stand management, weed control and stand renovation.
Alfalfa can produce more protein per acre than any other crop in Nebraska. Up to 100 percent of the protein needs of most livestock can be supplied by alfalfa in addition to large amounts of vitamins, minerals, and energy.

G83-664 Space Heaters: Safe Or Unsafe? (Revised June 1992), Gerald R. Bodman, David Morgan
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses safety problems associated with using space heaters, and provides precautions for use and recommendations on what to look for when purchasing one.
Space heaters or portable heaters--no matter what they are called--must be used correctly to avoid personal injury. Anyone using these heating devices should know about their wide range of safety problems.

Heg83-173 Follow That Grainline, Linda K. Biles
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication covers the importance of following fabric grainline in pattern layout and cutting, staystitching, sewing seams, pressing, topstitching and fitting for a professional-looking garment.
Strict attention to the grainline is one of the most critical factors in cutting and sewing professional-looking garments. Following the grainline is important when pinning the pattern to the fabric, cutting the fabric, and sewing the garment.
G83-681 Velvetleaf, Fred Roeth, Russell Moomaw, Alex Martin, Orvin Burnside
G83-681 Velvetleaf, Fred Roeth, Russell Moomaw, Alex Martin, Orvin Burnside
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide provides guidelines on how to control velvetleaf by prevention, cultural and mechanical methods, and by use of recommended herbicides.
Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic.), a member of the Mallow family, is related to cotton, hollyhocks, and numerous weeds. Other common names include buttonweed, Indian mallow, butterprint, piemarker, velvetweed, and cottonweed. The preferred name, velvetleaf, amply describes its velvety-textured, hairy-surfaced leaves.
A native of China and presumably introduced into the U.S. from India as a fiber crop, this annual weed is adapted to cropland throughout most of the United States. Over the past 10 years, velvetleaf has increased dramatically …

G83-651 Nebraska's Solar Heated Modified-Open-Front Swine Nursery, Michael F. Kocher, Gerald R. Bodman, C.J. Kisling-Crouch
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses the design features of this unique swine nursery, including ventilation, heating and energy conservation factors, and manure handling systems.
A warm environment is essential for young pigs. High fuel costs and the practice of heating entire buildings brought about the design and testing of solar heated nurseries on several farms.

Heg83-183 Negotiating With Creditors, Kathleen Prochaska-Cue
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
At some time, almost everyone gets behind in paying a bill. This publication offers suggestions about how to deal with creditors during those times.
The Problem
Due to some unexpected event, you are behind on your bills and don't expect to be able to catch up in the next month or two. You may have lost your job, or have had large medical bills.
You make promises to pay you can't keep; checks bounce, or you receive threats from creditors (people to whom you owe money) that they will sue or turn the account over to a collection agency.

G83-655 Management Of Early Weaned Calves, Paul Q. Guyer
G83-655 Management Of Early Weaned Calves, Paul Q. Guyer
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses the benefits and disadvantages of weaning beef calves early, including rations and methods for both drylot and pasture-grain feeding programs.
Early weaning of beef calves is a management practice that should be considered under situations such as fall calving, drylot cow-calf production and drought. In areas where forage quality is very poor in late summer and early fall, early weaning might also be considered as a regular practice. Early weaning can enhance the efficiency of drylot cow-calf operations by allowing greater use of poor quality roughages by the cow herd.

G83-678 Producing Milk With A Low Bacteria Count, Stanely E. Wallen, Don J. Kubik, Stephen L. James, Daniel J. Borer, Gerald R. Bodman, E. Denis Erickson, Duane N. Rice, Philip H. Cole, Foster G. Owen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide provides cleaning, sanitizing, mechanical, environmental and other procedures to follow to assure a low bacterial count in milk. Bacteria are tiny, rapidly reproducing microorganisms that are too small to be seen without a high power microscope. Their very tiny size makes it very difficult to eliminate them from dairy equipment. Because bacterial growth in milk may cause spoilage and possibly human illnesses, a low bacterial count is one of the best indicators of top quality milk. Milk will almost always be of top quality if properly harvested from healthy, clean cows with clean equipment, cooled quickly and kept …
