50 Years Of Research At The North Platte Experiment Station, W. W. Burr, J. C. Adams
50 Years Of Research At The North Platte Experiment Station, W. W. Burr, J. C. Adams
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The North Platte Experiment was established fifty years ago. So many changes have occurred since then that few people remember why research in dry land agriculture was started in Nebraska and other Great Plains states. In order to get a proper perspective, it may be well to consider some early history.
The Abortion Problem In Farm Live Stock, L. Van Es
The Abortion Problem In Farm Live Stock, L. Van Es
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Successful animal husbandry is fundamentally dependent on the efficient reproduction and preservation of young stock. Not only are losses among the latter a prolific source of direct economic damage, but they also tend to create an equally serious disadvantage of a more indirect nature. Losses of young animals, unless a reduction of our live stock population can be tolerated, necessitate the setting aside of a larger number of females for purely reproductive purposes than would be required if such losses were not a factor.

These Fifty Years: A History Of The College Of Agriculture Of The University Of Nebraska, R. P. Crawford
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
It seems especially appropriate at this time to publish a history of the College of Agriculture of the University of Nebraska. The year 1922 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the formal establishment of the college by the Board of Regents, while the year 1924 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the enrollment of the first students in agricultural subjects. It is hoped and intended that this little volume shall preserve for the future much valuable material that would otherwise soon be forgotten.

The Abortion Problem In Farm Live Stock, L. Van Es
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
This casting out of a dead or at least abnormal fetus we call abortion. It constitutes the culminating accident in a process set into motion by disease or injury. To the breeder it is its most conspicuous feature, and it's more or less constant occurrence among live stock warrants us to speak of the abortion problem. It is the purpose of this publication to lay before our Nebraska breeders such information on the subject as can be gathered from the more recent literature and from observations in the field and the laboratory.
