Nebraska Life Magazine

Since moving to Brookdale nearly a year ago, we have reduced our number of Magazine subscriptions, particularly those related to Agriculture since I was able to deduct their cost on income tax because of my activities. We made a decision today to not renew our Smithsonian Magazine after at least 15 years.. As I went through the July-August issue this evening for the 3rdtime, I couldn't find an article that challenged me to read. I suggest to Elaine that she take it out to the vestibule where people read what is available. Then I picked up the July-August, Nebraska Life. We have received it since it's beginning several years ago when they did a story on our Cattle Bank coffee group. It has an entirely different approach than Smithsonian. 
The photography, layout, writing and items of interest are all outstanding; even the ads. The page I copied includes part of Lincoln's Sunken Gardens which is one of its Feature articles in addition to �The Oregon Trail�, �Hopes and Dreams�, �Swan Lakes�, and �Sandhills Open Road Challenge�. The ads copied also include Moostash Joe Tours and Explore Seward County. We have special interest in both as well as reading about the Sandhills Skidbarns and Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney. The Sunken Gardens feature tells of its being developed during the WPA days when it was converted from an eyesore to one of the Cities beauty spots. I can remember when this change took place and it continues with the help of many volunteers. As recently as this past Monday, we admired it in driving past and would like to have stopped.
The picture on the front cover is the 1st place winner of the Magazine's �Showcase Shots-Great Photos of the Good Life�. This issues featured �imagery of fireworks in Nebraska skies and the 2nd, 3rdand 4th place shots were also shown.. Prizes are awarded and the next issue will feature pictures showing the beauty, hard work and emotion of harvest.

Crop Classification based on Purpose in the Field

Image
There are a number of different purposes and uses of the crops. The crops and cropping systems can be classified in a number of different ways based on a long list of categories. Previously we have discussed ' Botanical classification of plants ' and ' Agronomic Use classification of the crops '. Now, we will discuss a classification of crops based on their use in the field in different cropping systems; Crop Classification based on Purpose in field (article cover) 1. Catch crops or Contingent Crops Catch crops are cultivated in the field to catch the forthcoming season. The main reason for their plantation is that the main crop has failed in the field due to any biotic or abiotic stress. Hence, these crops are cultivated in the field for a number of reason; � They are fast growth rate and short duration crops. � They can be easily harvested or used in the field at any desired time (for example, as green manure). � They are easily adaptable to the season, soil and fa

Classification and Nomenclature of Fungi

Image
Fungi are small, generally microscopic, eukaryotic, usually filamentous, branched, spore-bearing organisms that lack chlorophyll. Fungi have cell walls that contain chitin and glucans (but no cellulose) as the skeletal components. What is Phylogenetic Classification? A classification based on the evolutionary relationships is known as Phylogenetic classification . A taxon (plural; taxa) is any category of classification. IMPORTANCE Although classification can be done on the basis of any criteria but classifying on the basis of phylogenetic relationships aid us �   in understanding the evolutionary changes and �   allow one to make prediction on the basis of what is known about an organism and its close relatives. Traditional Classification of Fungi u   In the 2 kingdom system of classification , fungi were placed under kingdom Plantae . Modern Classification of Fungi u   According to Hawksworth et al ., 1995 and Alexopoulos and Mims, 1979: The organisms once considered fungi are now
