Agricultural Research Committee Agricultural & Environmental Research (AERD) The 2020 and 2021 cotton growing seasons have been difficult for cotton growers. Extreme rain/drought and temperatures challenged even the most experienced equipment operator. The challenge of stand establishment is being addressed with a new Beltwide program to improve planting seed quality. This program combines multiple researchers with Extension Cotton Agronomists to both identify seed quality issues and to deliver tools for improving seed quality. Progress has been made in helping cotton breeders develop varieties that have higher oil content and thus better emergence under stress condition. The challenge of resistant weeds is being addressed with a significantly expanded program to control weeds in conservation tillage by preserving herbicide efficacy, managing weed seed bank, automation, innovative application technology, and new-to-cotton herbicides. The challenge of adverse weather at harvest is more intractable, without clear solutions in view. Research to apply machine learning (AI) to gin data and thus improve gin efficiency has started in collaboration with an advisory board from 13 gins across the U.S. Research to create proof-of-concept multi-pass harvesters continues but is many years from commercialization. Research to minimize leaf damage, boll rot, and hard lock from harvest rains has been expanded using leveraged funding and advanced modeling. Four of the components that are less challenging for cotton growers are variety advancement, disease control, insect control, and cottonseed value. Long-term programs to develop and release germplasm and breeding tools continue to allow advancements in yield and fiber quality. Leveraged funding for the fungal and viral diseases (FOV4 and CLRDV) has expanded sentinel plots, detection tools, and model development to help growers avoid costly pesticide applications. Although insect resistance is expanding, integrated

I also heard the same plea on the radio recently. But I started to wonder why are there still Syrian refugees living in tents and why are they still abroad? Why don’t they return to their homeland and rebuild their houses? At least the money given to them by individuals or charities will be beneficial. Syrian refugees are citizens who fled from Syria as the Syrian crisis escalated with the entry of terrorist militias. The number of Syrian refugees abroad is estimated at 7.5 million, while the number of internal- ly-displaced persons in Syria is over six million. Turkey hosts the largest number of refugees, followed by Jordan and Lebanon.

This study looks at a unique defense of same- sex couples as parents, from the children currently being raised by them. Including three prominent texts and seventeen different voices, an analysis was completed to understand what defense strategies children use as advocates for their parents’ right to marriage and to be a family. The method of study included completing a genre criticism through close textual analysis of the texts. In particular, the genre of apologia was studied.

Without them, I would not be Dr. Martin. And I am grateful to my sister, Tamara, and her husband, Phillip, for their letters, packages, shared books, and inspiration. I would not have pushed myself as hard without such an amazing big sister to compete with. Additionally, this project could not have been completed without the guidance and help of Dr. Kenneth Kidd. He provides the perfect blend of criticism and encouragement, revision and hope. Moreover, I want to thank my committee members—Dr. John Cech, Dr. Greg Ulmer, and Dr. Barbara Pace—for providing feedback and support throughout this process. I thank fellow kiddie litters, Julie Sinn Cassidy and Ramona Caponegro, for solidarity in our subject matter, and Rita Smith, for allowing me solace in the stacks of the Baldwin. And I thank two gaming ladies, Laurie Taylor and Lisa Dusenberry, for their passion and knowledge on all things digital. I thank the members of my dissertation seminar—Aaron Talbot, Joel Adams, and Mindy Cardozo—and editor friend Joi Tribble.

  • Oral History Interview with INMAN F
    Oral History Interview With INMAN F. (CAP) ELDREDGE New Orleans, Louisiana February 3, 1959 By Elwood R. Maunder, Forest History Foundation, Inc. MAUNDER: Cap, I think we’ll skip most of the basic facts of your early history because they’re well recorded in this book, but I would like to start off by asking you to tell us a little bit about your going into forestry, and especially your going to Biltmore. ELDREDGE: As you know, I was born in South Carolina in a little town there that was, I think, larger in the Revolution than it was when I was born several hundred years later. I first went to Clemson and took up engineering, and after three years of it flunked out. I came home and was at loose ends for a while, knocking around, mostly fighting chickens. Then my mother, who was quite an outdoor enthusiast, commenced to read something in the magazines and papers about forestry. She told me that would fit me fine because I was a fisherman and a hunter, you know, so we looked it up and the nearest forest school was at Biltmore in North Carolina, so I went to Biltmore. MAUNDER: Do you remember, Cap, what your first knowledge of Biltmore was based on? Was it an advertisement for the school, or a circular that they sent out? ELDREDGE: I think it was probably a report on some speech that Dr. Schenck had made, which carried with it the location of his school, and that was in 1904. The school then was about six or eight years old.
