Abstract

Earlier this summer someone looking for oil rags at the Lester Larson Tractor Museum remembered there was a drawer of them in an old file cabinet. When unfolding one, and then many more, they discovered that the fabric pieces were actually hand-illustrated, fabric panels which had once been used in Extension presentations.

Much as speakers might use a PowerPoint presentation today, these are thought to have been hung at meeting sites and referenced during the course of the meeting/class.

Individuals from the Tractor Museum carefully photographed each of the panels and created a spreadsheet of information about them.

It is thought that these represent at least four presentations:
1) Housing, Heating, Ventilation;
2) Poultry Housing and Brooders;
3) Organization of the Blumer Farm in Otoe County; and
4) Farm Building Construction.

The right column of the spreadsheet includes the names for those panels that were signed.

The attached downloadable document includes a spreadsheet listing of the materials and a compilation of low-resolution images. High-resolution photographs (also downloadable) are attached below on this page as “Additional Files”.
