A Rating Of Human Relations Competencies By Mechanized Agriculture Graduates, Harry L. Field
A Rating Of Human Relations Competencies By Mechanized Agriculture Graduates, Harry L. Field
Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communication: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Scholarship
Mechanized Agriculture/Agricultural Mechanization programs have been in existence since the early 1900's, but no researcher has attempted to determine the human relations competencies that are important for the graduates of these programs to possess. This dissertation attempted to remedy this situation by determining the importance level graduates placed on a list of 80 human relations competencies. The level of importance for the competencies was determined by analyzing the results of a questionnaire sent to 120 graduates of the University of Nebraska's Mechanized Agriculture program. The questionnaire included two demographic questions, one on job category and one on graduation period, and …

Mapping Kansas And Nebraska The Role Of The General Land Office, Ronald E. Grim
Mapping Kansas And Nebraska The Role Of The General Land Office, Ronald E. Grim
Great Plains Quarterly
The rectangular alignment of fields, farmsteads, and roads is one of the most striking characteristics of the settlement pattern of the Great Plains. As most students of this region's cultural landscape are aware, the dominant factor in the formation of this regular, geometric pattern was the federal government's rectangular survey system. The basic features of this survey system (base lines, principal meridians, 36-square-mile townships, sections, and quarter sections) have been outlined in introductory geography and cartography textbooks, while historical and cultural geographers have examined the system's effect on the landscape.1 In addition, much has been written about the land …
Review Of Ohiyesa: Charles Eastman, Santee Sioux By Raymond Wilson, Janet Goldenstein-Ahler
Review Of Ohiyesa: Charles Eastman, Santee Sioux By Raymond Wilson, Janet Goldenstein-Ahler
Great Plains Quarterly
Charles Eastman, Ohiyesa, was a Santee Sioux whose life invites curiosity in a different way than for great Native American leaders like Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph, or Crazy Horse. Eastman was one of a very few Native Americans of his time who lived competently in two worlds. Raymond Wilson offers a picture of the whole lifetime in one concise, readable volume, showing Eastman's' life as fraught with difficulties and controversies. The work is based primarily on government documents, correspondence, others' accounts, and Eastman's own books and articles.
Eastman's maternal grandfather, Seth Eastman, was a U.S. Army captain who left his …
Pawnee Geography Historical And Sacred, Waldo R. Wedel, Douglas R. Parks
Pawnee Geography Historical And Sacred, Waldo R. Wedel, Douglas R. Parks
Great Plains Quarterly
The earth is a fundamental religious symbol for American Indian peoples. Among horticultural and hunting tribes alike, Mother Earth is the female principle, the expression of fertility and creator of life, begetting vegetation, animals, and humans. In this elemental role she often appears conspicuously in religious rituals. For many American Indian peoples, specific geographical features on the earth also figured prominently in tribal conceptions of the sacral world. The Pawnee Indians, who formerly lived in east central Nebraska, provide an instructive example of a people who had an elaborate and unique set of beliefs about such landmarks and who incorporated …

Review Of A Guide To American Indian Resource Materials In Great Plains Repositories By Joseph G. Svoboda, Herbert T. Hoover
Review Of A Guide To American Indian Resource Materials In Great Plains Repositories By Joseph G. Svoboda, Herbert T. Hoover
Great Plains Quarterly
The frequent users of primary sources are ever grateful for any index, catalogue, guide, or list that can help direct them through manuscripts, published documents, oral histories, and other original materials. Here is no exception; they will appreciate the efforts of Joseph Svoboda and staff for a helpful tool, even though it is one with serious limitations.
It is the product of a questionnaire mailing to which less than one third of the recipients responded. Of these, less than two thirds submitted relevant information. More disconcerting than this, Svoboda's Guide lists not only materials on Great Plains Indian peoples, but …
Review Of Kinsmen Of Another Kind: Dakota-White Relations In The Upper Mississippi Valley, 1650- 1852 By Gary Clayton Anderson
Great Plains Quarterly
Gary Clayton Anderson's objective, indicated in the subtitle, is to provide an account of the long sweep of history leading up to the Sioux hostilities in Minnesota which began in mid-August of 1862 and culminated in the hanging of thirty-eight of the participants on 26 December of the same year. Although there is a large body of literature on the 1862 conflict, this book is a welcome addition because most studies have concentrated on the incidents comprising the uprising itself and Indian-white relationships immediately prior to the outbreak of hostilities.
Anderson theorizes that kinship was the organizing principle within and …
Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Developments 1984-85, Bruce B. Johnson, Ronald J. Hanson
Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Developments 1984-85, Bruce B. Johnson, Ronald J. Hanson
Nebraska Farm Real Estate Reports
The market for farm real estate is complex and ever-changing. In addition to the uniqueness for each parcel of land, countless factors influence the nature of market participation between buyers and sellers, negotiated selling price, means of financing purchases, rate of ownership transfers, etc. Also, in the current economic environment these dynamic elements are even more pronounced.
The implications of these current trends are substantial. The level of returns to agricultural assets, the distribution of wealth and land ownership, the degree of farm financial stress and even economic survival -- all are woven into the market fabric for agricultural land. …

Purpose: This is a working bibliography I have prepared to aid in a research project I am distributing a few copies because no comparable bibliography on technical intelligence is available.
Definition: I define technical intelligence as the effort to collect, process, and disseminate information about the characteristics of weapons and equipment used by the armed forces of other countries. I also include other activities of technical intelligence organizations of the armed forces like preparation of sanitary surveys by medical intelligence. According to my definition, technical intelligence in the US Army began when technical intelligence sections were set up in the …

Competencies In Farm Credit Needed/Possessed By Members Of The Nebraska Young Farmers/Ranchers Educational Association, Daniel H. Post
Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communication: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Scholarship
Purpose. The purposes of this study were: (l) to determine the competencies related to farm credit needed by farmers and the degree of each competency needed for successful use of farm credit; (2) to determines the degree to which young farmers/ranchers possess the competencies related to farm credit; (3) to determine sources of training for these competencies; and (4) to provide information needed to plan an educational program that will enable farmers to use farm credit efficiently. Method. The Nebraska Young Farmers/Ranchers Educational Association members were surveyed directly through the use of a questionnaire, giving the members the opportunity to …

Review Of The Explorers: Nineteenth Century Expeditions In Africa And The American West By Richard A. Van Orman, William H. Goetzmann
Great Plains Quarterly
Recently the history of exploration and discovery has become fashionable-possibly as a relief from the dreary "body count" social histories that have been inflicted upon us for the past decade. The Explorers by Richard A. VanOrman is an attempt to capitalize on the new fashion for exploration history. In this work the author attempts to analyze and compare, as his subtitle indicates, "Nineteenth Century Expeditions in Africa and the American West."
This is an artificial topic since there is no overarching logical reason for comparing the two enterprises-at least none that the author addresses. Moreover, the author's approach to the …

Review Of Prairie Wildflowers: An Illustrated Manual Of Species Suitable For Cultivation And Grassland Restoration By R. Currah, A. Smreciu, And M. Van Dyk, Paul Barnes
Great Plains Quarterly
In recent years, perhaps because of the dwindling virgin prairie in North America, there has been increased public interest in prairie restoration and the cultivation of native species. However, readily accessible information concerning the germination and propagation requirements of many prairie plants, especially the nongrass species or the so-called "wildflowers," has been limited. Prairie Wildflowers is a synthesis of three years of study on the horticultural suitability of more than 140 species of native forbs and shrubs by the University of Alberta Devonian Botanic Garden.
For each species examined, information is given on botanical characteristics (growth habit; flower, fruit, and …

I suspect that academe, at least that portion called anthropology, will not approve of this book. I t lacks the paraphernalia of scholarshipthere are no citations in the text-at least I saw none, nor are there learned footnotes or BOOK REVIEWS 135 graphic displays of statistical data. There is, however, a remarkably inclusive text and an extensive bibliography that can lead the truly interested reader to a treasure-trove of information. Supplementary chapters include lists of relevant radiocarbon dates, a status report on current archeology, a "scrapbook" of archeologists active in Colorado, and perhaps most useful to the uninitiated, a discussion …
Review Of Historians And The American West Edited By Michael P. Malone, Dick Harrison
Review Of Historians And The American West Edited By Michael P. Malone, Dick Harrison
Great Plains Quarterly
The seventeen essays in this volume are intended, as Michael Malone says, "to describe what has been done, how well it has been done, and what needs to be done" in western American history. Historians will no doubt approach them as a comprehensive assessment of western historiography, but many Great Plains Quarterly readers will come to them as I have, in search of a research tool for the nonspecialist with a limited range of questions to which the historians may have answers.
Together the essays provide an invaluable guide for the nonspecialist, but some offer clearer guidance than others. While …
Women On The Plains An Introduction, Frances W. Kaye
Women On The Plains An Introduction, Frances W. Kaye
Great Plains Quarterly
The four essays brought together here are a testimony to the surge of interest in women’s history in general and in the lives of women on the Great plains in particular that has welled up in the last decade. Unlike previous special issues of the Quarterly, which were the results of symposia planned around specific topics, this issue was generated by the articles themselves, which arrived independently on the editor’s desk within a relatively short period of time. Two are Overviews and two are case studies of particular groups of women. Together, the four articles suggest the richness of …
A Widening Horizon Catholic Sisterhoods On The Northern Plains, 1874-1910, Susan C. Peterson
A Widening Horizon Catholic Sisterhoods On The Northern Plains, 1874-1910, Susan C. Peterson
Great Plains Quarterly
Catholic sisterhoods have been part of American life since the colonial period, first as operators of charitable institutions to aid the needy and then, in the nineteenth century, as teachers of both immigrant children in the East and Indian children at mission schools on reservations in the West. Conventional historical studies have either slighted or ignored their contributions to the settlement of the northern plains, and recent articles on Catholic missions in history journals do little better. In both secular and church histories, Catholic sisters are traditionally pictured as silent representatives of female purity or as extensions of the church …
Having A Purpose In Life Western Women Teachers In The Twentieth Century, Courtney Ann Vaughn-Roberson
Having A Purpose In Life Western Women Teachers In The Twentieth Century, Courtney Ann Vaughn-Roberson
Great Plains Quarterly
Beginning late in the eighteenth century, social theorists developed an ideology of domesticity, maintaining that women's proper role lay in the care of children, the nurture of the husband, the physical maintenance of the domicile, and the guardianship of both home and social morality.1 Although this ideology helped to propel females into teaching, historians have not agreed on the impact of domestic ideology on women teachers and on the education profession itself. Some scholars conclude that women's easy access to teaching posts turned the classroom into a workshop for motherhood for the average female, perpetuating anti-intellectualism in education to …

Review Of A Borderlands Town In Transition: Laredo, 1755-1870 By Gilberto Miguel Hinojosa, Ralph H. Vigil
Great Plains Quarterly
This study of Laredo shows how larger events such as Indian raids, war, occupation, and changes of sovereignty affected population growth, decline, and change from the founding of this border town to the period of the Civil War and Reconstruction. Utilizing primary and secondary sources for his demographic findings, Hinojosa's story of a border community tells us a good deal about average annual rates of population change, family and class structure, ethnicity, age composition, literacy, property ownership, occupations, intermarriage, race relations, and other subjects. Moreover, his comparison with other borderlands communities in this period gives the study perspective. The author …
Western Women And True Womanhood Culture And Symbol In History And Literature, June O. Underwood
Western Women And True Womanhood Culture And Symbol In History And Literature, June O. Underwood
Great Plains Quarterly
History cannot happen," says Henry Nash Smith, "that is, men cannot engage in purposive group behavior without images which simultaneously express collective desires and impose coherence." Although Smith does not mention it, women too engaged in purposive group behavior. They too had images that organized their experiences and gave impetus to action. And since women were part of the great western migration, the images that made sense to them and engaged them in action within the westering experience were formative in their history.1
This article will look at nineteenth-century western women and the symbols that formed their particular history …
Women On The Great Plains Recent Developments Research, Glenda Riley
Women On The Great Plains Recent Developments Research, Glenda Riley
Great Plains Quarterly
During the past dozen years or so, scholars have become increasingly involved in researching the lives and experiences of women on the Great Plains. At the same time, interest in learning more about the lives of all types of western, frontier, farm, and rural women has burgeoned. As a result, researchers now devote their careers to these topics, national conferences convene to disseminate and refine this increasing scholarship, and journals commit theme issues to presenting research results.
This essay is a survey of research developments concerning plainswomen between the early 1970s and the present day. The purpose of such an …

Fat Deposition And Usage By Arctic-Nesting Sandhill Cranes During Spring, Gary Krapu, George Iverson, Kenneth Reinecke, Cheryl Boise
United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications
Body weight, fat, and protein levels of arctic-nesting Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis) were measured at several locations during spring migration and on the breeding grounds. Body weights of adult males and females increased by about 34%( 1,129 g) and 30% (953 g) from early March at the Platte River to late April at Last Mountain Lake, Saskatchewan; average fat content increased from about 250 to 990 g. Rates of weight gain and fat deposition among males and females averaged 25-18 and 16-13 g/day. Body weights and fat content of cranes staging along the North Platte River followed similar …

Job Satisfaction And Job Performance: A Meta-Analysis, Michelle Iaffaldano [Graef], Paul M. Muchinsky
Center on Children, Families, and the Law: Faculty Publications
The assumption that job satisfaction and job performance are related has much intuitive appeal, despite the fact that reviewers of this literature have concluded there is no strong pervasive relation between these two variables. The present meta-analytic study demonstrates that (a) the best estimate of the true population correlation between satisfaction and performance is relatively low (.17); (b) much of the variability in results obtained in previous research has been due to the use of small sample sizes, whereas unreliable measurement of the satisfaction and performance constructs has contributed relatively little to this observed variability in correlations; and (c) nine …
