Oakland: The First Norwegian-American Seventh-day Adventist Church in America

In December 1861, several Norwegian families, led by Andrew Olsen and Tarel Johnson, organized the first Norwegian-American Adventist church in Oakland Township, Jefferson County, Wisconsin. Oakland Township is part of the Koshkonong Norwegian-American Settlement, which includes southeastern Dane County, southwestern Jefferson County, and northern Rock County, Wisconsin. The Olsen, Johnson, Loe, and Serns families were from a rural district in Vest-Agder County, Norway. On March 20, 1850, Andrew Olsen, his half-brother, Halvor Olsen, Ole Hegland Serns, and their families left for the U. S. from Kristiansand, Norway. In 1854, Soren Loe and Tarel Johnson moved to Oakland to be near there relatives. Berte, Andrew Olsen\u27s wife, was a sister of Soren Loe and Tarel Johnson\u27s second wife, Todne. The Loes and Johnsons had emigrated from Norway in the spring of 1849 and originally settled in the Fox River, Illinois Norwegian-American Settlement. The Oakland Seventh-day Adventist church served as a center from which evangelistic work spread among the Scandinavians in the United States and Europe. Eleven children from the charter members of this church served as Adventist church workers, including O. A. Olsen, who became General Conference President

COMPARISON OF SOIL PHOSPHORUS TEST METHODS

Analiza biljkama pristupačnoga fosfora obavezna je agrokemijska analiza tla za procjenu plodnosti i preporuku gnojidbe, a u RH u upotrebi je najčešće AL metoda (ekstrakcija tla s amonij-laktat otopinom uz pH 3,75). Analiza AL metodom ekstrahiranog fosfora u nekim tlima (posebice karbonatnim) može rezultirati neodgovarajućim reakcijom usjeva na utvrđenu pristupačnost fosfora i preporuku gnojidbe pa je cilj ovoga rada usporediti AL metodu s 6 različitih ekstrakcijskih metoda za utvrđivanje pristupačnosti fosfora u tlu: Olsen, Morgan, Bray 1, Bray 2, CAL i DL. Svaka metoda ima različit kemizam i pH ekstrakcijske otopine: Olsen (pH 8,5), Morgan (4,8), Bray 1 i Bray 2 (2,6), CAL (4,1) DL (3,7). S ciljem usporedbe prikupljeno je i analizirano 360 uzoraka tla s područja kontinentalne Hrvatske. Analize su obuhvaćale kemijska svojstva tla kao pH, humus, AL-P2O5 i karbonati, a tla su prema kiselosti podijeljena u dvije pH grupe i pet pH grupa. Prosječno možemo reći da količina ekstrahiranoga fosfora u mg P2O5 kg-1 opada po nizu: Bray 1> DL> AL> CAL> Bray 2> Olsen> Morgan. Statistički značajna korelacija utvrđena je u svim uzorcima između AL i Olsen metode (r= 0,88), AL i Bray 1 metode (r=0,68), Olsen i Bray 1 metode (r= 0,75), te CAL i DL metode (r=0,45) U analiziranim uzorcima utvrđene su značajne količine ukupnoga fosfora, a udio organskoga fosfora u ukupnome fosforu kretao se od 0,54% do 78,29%. Regresijski modeli razvijeni u ovome radu vrlo su jednostavni i primjenjivi, jer mogu dati nove podatke već na temelju koncentracije fosfora ekstrahiranoga određenom metodom, što je dovoljno kao jedini ulazni podatak. Validacije modela dokazale su sve međuovisnosti metoda utvrđene u osnovnome setu uzoraka te potvrdile navedene preciznosti modela.Soil-P test is obligate chemical analysis for soil productivity estimation and most frequent used method in Croatia is AL method (soil extraction by ammoniumlactate solution at pH 3.75). Howewer, in some soils AL method (especially calcareous) could be inaccurate for phosphorus fertilizer recommendations and crop response could be inadequate. Hence, the aim of this research was to compare 6 different P-tests: Olsen, Morgan, Bray1, Bray 2, CAL and DL. Each of these methods had a different pH of extraction solutios: Olsen (pH 8.5), Morgan (4,8), Bray 1 and Bray 2 (2.6), CAL (4.1) DL (3.7). Aiming to compare these 7 soil tests, 360 soil samples were collected from the continental part od Croatia. The soil pH, organic matter, AL-P2O5 and % CaCO3 were analyzed. All samples were grouped according to soil pH in two groups (pHKCl 6 179 samples). Phosphorus content on the average decreased: Bray 1 > DL > AL > CAL > Bray 2> Olsen > Morgan. Significant corellations were estimeted between AL and Olsen P test (r= 0.88), AL and Bray 1 P test (r=0.68), Olsen and Bray 1 P test (r= 0,75) and CAL and DL P tests (r=0.45). In the analysed samples total phospohrus content was recorded in all samples and portion of organic phosphorus in total phosporus in soil ranged from 0.54 to 78.29 %. The developed models are very simple and useful because thay can predict soil phosphurus using only one soil test data. The models were validated and showed that all recorded corelations in this study were precise and approved the aforementioned models accuracy
