Effect Of Fertilization And Management On The Production Of Bromegrass In Northeast Nebraska, G. W. Rehm, W. J. Moline, E. J. Schwartz, R. S. Moomaw

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Several experiments were conducted in northeast Nebraska to determine the effect of fertility and management practices on the production of smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss). The effectiveness of the various fertilizer treatments was measured in units of dry matter produced per acre as well as beef produced per acre. Results of these studies showed that the production of bromegrass pastures in Nebraska could be markedly improved through proper fertilization.

Penstemon In Your Garden, R. D. Uhlinger, G. Viehmeyer

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

A new race of hardy perennials is beginning to appear in American gardens. These are the penstemons, a genus of plants closely related to the familiar snapdragon, which may become important ornamentals as they be come better known to gardeners. The purpose of this bulletin is to show the possibility of the genus as an ornamental and to suggest species and species hybrids of possible value to Great Plains gardeners; to provide information about propagation and culture; and to encourage gardeners to engage in penstemon breeding as an avocation.

An Investigation Into Possible Problems Arising From Repeal Of The Personal Property Tax In South Dakota, Ardelle Lundeen, Allyn O. Lockner

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

There is considerable pressure in South Dakota, as in many states at the present time, for tax relief or tax reform. Much of this concern is directed toward the type of taxes that most local governments and school districts rely on for the major portion of their operating funds. In South Dakota property taxes account for about 69 percent of local government revenue compared to a national average of 45 percent(1). As costs of government continue to rise, the burden on property owners becomes more onerous. The search for means of relief for the property owner continues. One method that …

Opinions Of School Administrators Concerning Selected Aspects Of The Program Of Vocational Agriculture In Nebraska, Larry L. Viterna

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

A lack of available evidence in Nebraska to formulate decisions based on the opinions of school administrators, regarding programs in agricultural education at the high school level, prompted the investigator to propose a study which was designed to obtain the opinions of high school administrators regarding selected aspects of the program of vocational agriculture in Nebraska.Additionally the study was designed to then present those opinions in a form that would be considered useful to a variety of state and local supervisors of vocational agriculture programs as well as teachers and educators.This study was limited to superintendents and principals in the …

Place Discrimination In Rail Shipments Of Wheat From Great Plains Origins, Dale G. Anderson, Brian L. Mariska

Department of Agricultural Economics: Faculty Publications

The purpose of this study was to determine whether shipments of wheat by railroad from Nebraska and other Great Plains States are discriminated against relative to shipments from other wheat producing states and regions. Primary objectives were: 1. To develop a technique for measuring place discrimination. 2. To employ the technique in testing empirical data for evidence of discrimination. 3. To analyze the results and explore implications for geographically- separated wheat shippers. Ratios of railroad revenue/out-of-pocket costs for the years 1958 and 1966 were used to compare the relative cost burden borne by wheat shipments in geographically-separated hauls. Resulting ratios …

Distribution & Life Cycle Of Nodding Thistle (Carduus Nutans L.) In Kentucky, Garry Lacefield

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Carduus nutans L., commonly called nodding thistle or musk thistle, has been in the United States for over 50 years; however, it was not until the early 1940's that it was identified in Kentucky. It was first identified in Kentucky in Warren County, and by 1970 had spread to 88 of the 120 counties in Kentucky. The thistle is present in all regions of the state, but most of the counties not having the thistle are located in the mountainous region of Eastern Kentucky.

The thistle plant has a fleshy tap-root which is characteristically hollow near the soil surface. Flowering …

Preliminary Estimates Of Bark Percentages And Chemical Elements In Complete Trees Of Eight Species In Maine, Harold E. Young

Aspen Bibliography

Five tables were prepared to show the relative amount of bark on each of the tree components, the concentration and range of 12 chemical elements in the bark of each tree component, the proportion of each of the chemical elements in the bark of that element in the complete tree, and the proportion of each element in the bark as compared to the wood and bark of the merchantable bole. There is an overall 4:6:1 wood to bark ratio, but due to the higher concentration of the elements in the bark, the proportion of the elements in the bark is …

Manual Of Operating Procedures For A Computerized Farm Financial Information System, Herbert R. Allen, Kent Scofield

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The computerized farm information system described in this publication was developed by South Dakota State University Farm Management research workers. The system is designed to provide detailed data on cash flow patterns, enterprise costs, net worth, net income, family living, depreciation schedules and business operating ratios. The program is written in FORTRAN and is operational on the IBM System/360-Model 30 with 64K storage capacity. Large capital investments and greater dependence upon borrowed capital to finance highly technical farming operations requires farm operators to have sharper analytical tools than ever before. Modern computers are helping to provide these tools. However, efficient …

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 …

Measurement Of Throughfall At Two Levels In A Young Aspen Stand, J.R. Clements

Aspen Bibliography

The purpose of this report is to compare measurements of the quantity of throughfall at two different heights above ground level in a seven-year-old sucker stand of largetooth aspen (Populus grandidentata Michx.) This comparison defines the influence rain splash from the forest floor has on the quantity of throughfall catch of trough rain gauges placed on the forest floor.
