Controlling wind erosion in field pea stubbles

The area sown to field peas in Western Australia\u27s eastern wheatbelt has increased from 4000 ha in 1985 to about 35, 000 ha in 1992. While field peas can be grown on soil types not suited to lupins, their stubble is highly fragile and prone to wind erosion, even at low grazing pressure. This is one reason why some farmers are hesitant to grow field peas. Haroest losses of field peas can also be high; levels of JOO to 200 kg/ha of seed on the ground are not uncommon. For this reason farmers believe the stubbles should be grazed. Farmers also thought that grazing would control pea weevil infestations in affected areas. Recent research has shown that grazing field pea stubbles does not reduce the pea weevil population. Research by the Department of Agriculture has assessed the erodibility of various soil types suitable for field peas. Stubble management systems have been developed to minimise wind erosion and maintain or increase whole farm profit

Current property size distribution of landholders in the Northam Advisory District

The reason for conducting this short study was to gain a better understanding of the property size distribution of landholdings that exists within the Northam Advisory District (NAD). There has been some deal of conjecture as to the extent of property size within the district upon which some basic assumptions are being made for the viability of farming / agricultural industries in the district. This outline may help to give a greater accuracy of the nature of the clientele of the district in decision making processes for district extension management and on ground activities.https://researchlibrary.agric.wa.gov.au/bulletins/1166/thumbnail.jp

Economic Competition and the Supreme Court: Decisions in the 1977 Term

Through the years, the Supreme Court has emphasized numerous times that [t]he heart of our national economic policy long has been faith in the value of competition. Indeed, this principle was reiterated last Term. Crucial to economic competition are the anti-trust laws, especially the Sherman Act

How They Learn/How You Teach: Building Library Instruction Sessions for Multiple Learners

This session will introduce participants to a variety of cognitive and learning styles and help identify practical strategies for appealing to the broadest range of student learning. Particular attention will be given to the challenges inherent to teaching hands-on workshops in wired classrooms. Strategies for coping with these challenges will be introduced and then discussed in small groups. Progressive educational reform movements that emphasize student-centered learning encourage librarians to challenge some of their instructional assumptions. Librarians are increasingly realizing both the importance of their teaching role and the imperative of undertaking a critical re-evaluation of their instructional practices. Simply providing information is not sufficient for satisfying the learning needs of users. Librarians must understand not only what students learn but also how students learn. This session bridges the two LOEX conference themes of Working with New Technologies and Environments and Changing Needs of Our Users by suggesting that an understanding of current research on multiple learning and cognitive styles facilitates a learner-centered focus to information literacy in changing technological environments. Participants will be introduced to the concepts of multiple learning and cognitive styles as well as current research in these fields as it relates to library instruction. A short demonstration will guide a group discussion of how these concepts can be applied to library instruction sessions. Finally, participants will receive tangible methods of how their new understandings of multiple learning and cognitive styles can be applied to their own instructional experiences

Scatology, the Last Taboo: Introduction to \u3ci\u3eFecal Matters in Early Modern Literature and Art\u3c/i\u3e

This collection of essays was provoked by what its editors considered to be a curious lacuna: the relative academic neglect of the copious and ubiquitous scatological rhetoric of Early Modem Europe, here broadly defined as the representation of the process and product of elimination of the body’s waste products (feces, urine, flatus, phlegm, vomitus). Our most educated forebears, different from ourselves, did not disdain it — if such proof may be found in the mere proliferation of examples — and, further, employed it in all manner of works, not just in the crude jokes of comic ephemera. This neglect led to the idea of an anthology that would invite reconsideration of the many forms and functions of scatology as literary and artistic trope. The results emphasize that while the Rabelaisian corpus may yet serve as the standard referent, hallmark or even touchstone of the scatological in Early Modem European works, critical inquiry must move beyond this so that readers may extend and deepen their understanding of what the Oxford English Dictionary dismisses simply as ‘dirty literature.’Achieving a new respect for, contributing knowledge to and fostering interest in Early Modern scatology within the realm of literary and art history studies would mean, without blush or shame, that this collection has been ‘well shat’ (bien chié). To each generation its idiom; for discerning readers and spectators to gauge its value without prejudice
