    Cowper\u27s moral satires have never enjoyed much critical esteem, and have been censured again and again for the way in which they discharge, with more dutifulness than inspiration, a self-inflicted task: mere therapy for a wounded spirit, a sort of metrical knitting. Norman Nicholson\u27s judgment on this aspect of the oeuvre is by and large representative

    Fruits for the family

    Strawberries, plums, currants and gooseberries can be grown in all parts of the state. Red and black raspberries, though equally distributed regionally, are capricious in their reaction to soils, water supply and diseases. They may be a success on one piece of ground and a failure on the one adjoining. Grapes are well adapted to central and southern Iowa and they withstand considerable abuse and still yield some fruit nearly every year. Plums are the most widely adapted and apples the most popular fruits in the home orchard, but only hardy varieties resistant to disease should be planted. They must, along with the rest of the fruit garden, be protected from farm animals and cared for properly after planting, if they are to be successful. The common red cherries and two or three varieties of hardy pears should be included in home orchards in the south half of the state. Peach, nectarine, apricot and quince cannot be recommended as dependable for long life or production in any section, but many people will want to plant a few of them and be satisfied with an occasional crop

    Are language production problems apparent in adults who no longer meet diagnostic criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder?

    In this study, we examined sentence production in a sample of adults (N = 21) who had had attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as children, but as adults no longer met DSM-IV diagnostic criteria (APA, 2000). This “remitted” group was assessed on a sentence production task. On each trial, participants saw two objects and a verb. Their task was to construct a sentence using the objects as arguments of the verb. Results showed more ungrammatical and disfluent utterances with one particular type of verb (i.e., participle). In a second set of analyses, we compared the remitted group to both control participants and a “persistent” group, who had ADHD as children and as adults. Results showed that remitters were more likely to produce ungrammatical utterances and to make repair disfluencies compared to controls, and they patterned more similarly to ADHD participants. Conclusions focus on language output in remitted ADHD, and the role of executive functions in language production
