Forty-eighth Annual Report of the Agricultural Experiment Station of Nebraska, February 1, 1935

This report differs from previous reports in two respects: it covers experimental work up to January 1, 1935, and it includes brief abstracts of publications since the last report. Previously most of the report dealt with work done before the end of the fiscal year; that is, work done between June 30 and January 1 was not reported until over a year later, for the most part. The present report corrects that defect, and in addition the abstracts of publications will make the report useful as a reference guide to published matter. The projects are discussed under subject headings and in addition to the abstracts, brief reports of progress in projects under way are included. Complete data for these projects are not included; rather an attempt has been made to show how far the work has gone and to indicate some of the directions or trends of the work. The drouth of the past summer reduced yields severely. As a result the collection of significant data on yields was almost impossible. A few of the Experiment Station workers have ben loaned to federal projects. Despite these handicaps many projects have been advanced and many have been completed.

Agopuntura Urbana Jaime Lerner e la pianificazione urbanistica di Curitiba

Questa riflessione sulla città contemporanea nasce dall’esigenza di definire delle pratiche d’intervento utili alla gestione di una realtà urbana. Seguendo il pensiero di studiosi delle varie discipline quali la composizione e l’urbanistica, mi assumo la responsabilità di analizzare una pratica urbana utile alla gestione delle realtà conflittuali, senza voler entrare nel merito di burocrazie, a volte caotiche, ma semplicemente seguendo l’aspetto sociale e urbanistico di un intervento. Un riflessione generale su quelle che sono le pratiche urbane contemporanee, alla ricerca di una soluzione che possa infine risolvere le problematiche delle città: Agopuntura Urbana. Durante lo studio delle dinamiche, che portano alla formazione di un tessuto urbano, spesso veniamo a conoscenza di realtà malate frutto della continua evoluzione della città. Il progresso, in ogni suo campo, ha anche determinato un’evoluzione del comportamento sociale: ci troviamo spesso all’interno di una frenetica rete d’idee e di cambiamenti. La strategia dell’Agopuntura Urbana proposta da Jaime Lerner ci fornisce le soluzioni per risolvere il corpo urbano e la sua visione olistica, le analisi, lo studio e le conseguenti soluzioni, le quali, non sono da ricercare nella complessità ma piuttosto nella semplicità degli interventi: un’oculata riqualificazione che metta in primo piano le necessità della collettività. Nell’incontenibile serie di eventi, che hanno caratterizzato l’ultimo secolo, ritroviamo una realtà che ricerca soluzioni: la società vuole soluzioni per migliorare le realtà sociali contemporanee all’interno del proprio panorama urbano.

Add a Dash of Rhetoric, a Pinch of Technical Communication, a Handful of Pedagogy, and Mix Well: Cookbooks and Recipes as Instructional Texts, and What Domestic Texts from 1870 to 1935 Can Teach Us About Technical Communication

Through the use of rhetoric centered on authority and risk avoidance, scientific method has co-opted knowledge, especially women's everyday and experiential knowledge in the domestic sphere. This, in turn, has produced a profound affect on technical communication in the present day. I am drawing on rhetorical theory to study cookbooks and recipes for their contributions to changes in instructional texts. Using the rhetorical lenses of metis (cunning intelligence), kairos (timing and fitness) and mneme (memory), I examine the way in which recipes and cookbooks are constructed, used and perceived. This helps me uncover lost voices in history, the voices of women who used recipes, produced cookbooks and changed the way instructions read. Beginning with the earliest cookbooks and recipes, but focusing on the pivotal temporal interval of 1870-1935, I investigate the writing and rhetorical forces shaping instruction sets and domestic discourse. By the time of scientific cooking and domestic science, everyday and experiential knowledge were being excluded to make room for scientific method and the industrial values of the public sphere. In this study, I also assess how the public sphere, via Cooperative Extension Services and other government agencies, impacted the domestic sphere, further devaluing everyday knowledge in favor of the public scientific model. I will show how the changes in the production of food, cookbooks and recipes were related to changes in technical communication. These changes had wide rippling effects on the field of technical communication. By returning to some of the tenets and traditions of everyday and experiential knowledge, technical communication scholars, practitioners and instructors today can find new ways to encounter technical communication, specifically regarding the creation of instructional texts. Bringing cookbooks, recipes and everyday knowledge into the classroom and the field engenders a new realm of epistemological possibilities.

Federal Authority and the Development of Corporate Mining, 1807-1847

While the 1913-1914 copper country miners’ strike undoubtedly plays an important role in the identity of the Keweenaw Peninsula, it is worth noting that the model of mining corporations employing large numbers of laborers was not a foregone conclusion in the history of American mining. Between 1807 and 1847, public mineral lands in Missouri, in the Upper Mississippi Valley, and along the southern shore of Lake Superior were reserved from sale and subject to administration by the nation’s executive branch. By decree of the federal government, miners in these regions were lessees, not landowners. Yet, in the Wisconsin lead region especially, federal authorities reserved for independent “diggers” the right to prospect virtually unencumbered. In doing so, they preserved a comparatively egalitarian system in which the ability to operate was determined as much by luck as by financial resources. A series of revolts against federal authority in the early nineteenth century gradually encouraged officers in Washington to build a system in the copper country in which only wealthy investors could marshal the resources to both obtain permits and actually commence mining operations. This paper will therefore explore the role of the federal government in establishing a leasing system for public mineral lands in the years previous to the California Gold Rush, highlighting the development of corporate mining which ultimately set a stage for the wave of miners’ strikes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
