La Jeunesse Et La Quête De Soi Un Scénarimage D'Un Remake, Brenda C. Crosby

French

Students most often see films as a consumable and not a resource from which one can learn about themselves and others. Students make a ten-image storyboard demonstrating a cultural adaptation, “une transposition culturelle”, for an American audience of one of the films. Non-historical films are better suited to this storyboard for a remake project. The cultural adaptation must demonstrate a very clear connection to American culture, experiences, and sensibilities, remain true to film’s original intent, and changes must be clear and logical. The characters’ roles, role of society and/or culture, setting (time and space), and ending must be clear and …

Ec95-1873 Cultural Practices That Influence Wheat Diseases, John E. Watkins, Robert N. Klein, Paul C. Hay, Lenis Alton Nelson

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The health of a wheatcrop is determined well before the crop is planted. It is often the result of subtle factors in the management history of the field, including varieties, seed quality, seedbed, planting date, residue management and post harvest weed control. Wheat health management practices before the crop is planted must limit, as much as possible, the number of production hazards that must be dealt with after planting. Important diseases influenced by cultural practices include crown and root rot, wheat streak mosaic, soil-borne wheat mosaic, barley yellow dwarf, leaf rust, smut diseases, scab, Cephalosporium stripe and tan spot.

Ec95-1249 Potato Production Stages: Scheduling Key Practices, Alexander D. Pavlista

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Characterization of potato growth and development is important for the scheduling of production practices, yield prediction and hail loss insurance. Most past descriptions emphasize above-ground vine growth, and neglect below-ground tubers. Recently, growth stages have been described integrating both practices to them. This circular describes stages of potato production and indicates key practices at each stage.

Ec93-126 Procedures For Field Demonstrations Of Nitrogen Management Practices, Edwin J. Penas, Richard B. Ferguson, Gary W. Hergert, Charles A. Shapiro, G.D. Binford

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Nitrate-nitrogen in groundwater is a major public concern. Agriculture is often targeted as the primary source; however, crop producers are reluctant to reduce the amount of nitrogen they apply in fear of reducing crop yields and profits. Soil testing for nitrate-nitrogen is being promoted as a way to fine-tune or improve nitrogen management, but adoption by producers has been slow. This publication explains how to conduct a field demonstration using scientifically acceptable methods that are practical for on-farm use.

G86-806 Chinch Bug Management (Revised January 1993), Barbara P. Spike, Robert J. Wright, Stephen D. Danielson

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The life cycle and control of the chinch bug is discussed, with descriptions of possible management options.

The chinch bug is a native North American insect that can destroy cultivated grass crops, especially sorghum and corn, and occasionally small grains, such as wheat and barley. Broad-leaved plants are immune to feeding damage. Crop damage from this insect is most often found in southeast Nebraska and northeast Kansas and is associated with dry weather, especially in the spring and early summer months. Chinch bugs have few effective natural enemies. Ladybird beetles and other common insect predators found in Nebraska prefer to …
