Growing Proso In Nebraska, P. H. Grabouski
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Proso, sometimes called "hog millet," is receiving attention in the Nebraska Panhandle as a dryland grain crop because of acreage restrictions and limited crop alternatives.
Field Bean Production Under Irrigation In Nebraska, F. V. Pumphrey
Field Bean Production Under Irrigation In Nebraska, F. V. Pumphrey
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The purpose of this bulletin is to bring together the latest information available on the production of dry edible beans under irrigation in Nebraska. Cultural practices and disease control are stressed, but included are items on marketing, cleaning, and the use of by-products - straw and cull beans.

Aircraft In Agriculture, N. E. Shafer, J. D. Furrer, J. W. Lomax
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Airplanes were first used in agriculture shortly after the close of World War I. They proved valuable for locating mosquito breeding areas, for forest fire patrol work, as an aid in locating outlaw cotton fields in the campaign against pink bollworm, and for surveying damage caused in large forested areas by the spruce budworm.
Safflower Production In The Western Part Of The Northern Great Plains, C. E. Classen
Safflower Production In The Western Part Of The Northern Great Plains, C. E. Classen
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Recent development of new varieties with seeds averaging more than 30 per cent oil give safflower a good chance of becoming an important oil seed crop in the United States. It is the purpose of this circular to acquaint farmers with the crop and to outline the most promising production practices for those who undertake its production in the western part of the northern Great Plains.

The Scottsbluff Pinto Bean, J. H. Jensen
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Scottsbluff Pinto is the name of a new variety of pinto field bean being released this year by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station. The new bean variety is a selection from a cross between Great Northern and the common pinto bean. In a bean-breeding program conducted for the past several years by the Department of Plant Pathology, attempts have been made to obtain improved varieties of both field and garden beans for Nebraska. Although the breeding program was primarily concerned with the development of disease-resistant varieties, it was observed that Scottsbluff Pinto, possessing no notable disease resistance, has been outstanding …
