BIOGRAPHICAL / Historical Note: Twentieth-century novelist Caroline Gordon was born into the Kentucky line of the extensive Meriwether family in 1895. Exploration of the family's past and its evolution is a major theme of her fiction. She grew up at Merry Mont in Todd County, near Clarksville where she received her early education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bethany College in 1916. Her father is the idealized subject of Gordon's second novel, Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), and the central character in her much-anthologized story, "Old Red." Gordon taught briefly; then, as a journalist, she became one of the first reviewers to comment favorably on a new Nashville-based magazine of poetry, The Fugitive. During the summer of 1924, Robert Penn Warren, a Todd County neighbor, introduced her to Allen Tate. Within a year they were married and living in New York City, where their daughter, Nancy Meriwether was born. With Tate, she began a period of life abroad, devoted to writing and sustained by various fellowships granted to one or the other. In London, Gordon was secretary to the influential British writer Ford Madox. In 1930 the Tates returned to the United States and settled in Clarksville in a house provided by Tate's brother Ben and called "Benfolly." Both Tates were exceptionally hospitable to friends and encouraging to younger writers. Both were prolific correspondents, generous with constructive criticism. (Gordon eventually became mentor to several writers, most notably Flannery O'Connor). Although she had to wrest time for her writing from domestic and social obligations, the eight Benfolly years were especially productive for Gordon, who published four novels and several stories before 1937. The first novel was Penhally (1931), followed by Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), None Shall Look Back (1937), and The Garden of Adonis (1937), studies of the southern family during the Civil War and Great Depression. Academic appointments of the 1940s took the Tates throughout the Southeast and to Princeton, where they established a home near their daughter, who married psychiatrist Percy Wood in 1944. During this time Gordon published her fifth novel, Green Centuries (1941). Her second related group of novels, The Woman on the Porch (1944), which deals with a troubled marriage, The Strange Children (1951), based on life at Benfolly, and The Malefactors (1956), is informed by her conversion to Roman Catholicism. She and her husband wrote The House of Fiction (1950), which was followed by Gordon's How to Read a Novel in 1957. Gordon lived in Princeton until 1973, teaching, and writing: The Glory of Hera (1972). An appointment in the creative writing program drew her to the University of Dallas (Gordon was 77 years old when she proposed the new creative writing program at UD). When her health began to fail in 1978, she moved to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chapas, Mexico, with her daughter and family. She died there on April 11, 1981.

Évaluation du potentiel agronomique de fourrages riches en tanins condensés ou en lactones sesquiterpènes dans quatre régions du Québec
No full textL’objectif était d’évaluer le potentiel agronomique, soit l’établissement, la survie hivernale, la production de biomasse et la valeur nutritive de nouvelles espèces fourragères riches en tanins condensés ou en lactones sesquiterpènes cultivées en semis pur et en association avec deux graminées fourragères, la fléole des prés (Phleum pratense L.) et la fétuque des prés (Festuca pratense Huds.), et ce, en gestion de pâturage dans quatre régions climatiques du Québec. L’expérience au champ s’est déroulée aux stations de recherche de Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue (Montréal), Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures (Capitale-Nationale), La Pocatière (Bas-Saint-Laurent) et Normandin (Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean), pendant deux années (2016 et 2017). Sur l’ensemble des stations en 2017, la chicorée (Cichorium intybus L.) et le lotier corniculé (Lotus corniculatus L.) ont eu des rendements satisfaisants comparés à celui de la luzerne, et ce, à tous les sites, alors que le sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) a moins bien performé. Le sainfoin avait des teneurs en tanins condensés (moyenne de 10,7 g kg-1 MS) et en protéines moyennement et lentement dégradables dans le rumen les plus élevées.The objective was to evaluate the agronomic potential, namely establishment, winter survival, biomass production, and nutritive value of novel forage species with a high content of condensed tanins or sesquiterpene lactones grown in pure stand or in mixture with two forage grasses, timothy (Phleum pratense L.) and meadow fescue (Festuca pratense Huds.), under pasture management in four climatic regions of Quebec. The field experiment took place in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue (Montreal region), Saint-Augustin-de- Desmaures (Capitale-Nationale region), La Pocatière (Bas-Saint-Laurent region), and Normandin (Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region), over two years (2016 and 2017). At all study sites in 2017, chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) and birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) had satisfactory yields compared to alfalfa at all sites, while sainfoin (Onobrychis vicifolia Scop.) did not perform well. Sainfoin had the highest content of condensed tanins (average of 10.7 g kg-1 dry matter) and moderately and slowly degradable proteins

Performance agronomique et santé du sol dans divers itinéraires agronomiques lors de la transition biologique en grandes cultures au Québec
No full textLes pratiques de l’agriculture biologique favorisent la biodiversité et la santé du sol. Mais entreprendre une transition vers l’agriculture biologique est une étape cruciale pour une entreprise agricole, cette période amenant souvent une baisse des rendements. Les objectifs du projet sont d’évaluer l’effet de différents itinéraires agronomiques sur le stockage de carbone dans le sol et sur la santé du sol, ainsi que sur les performances agronomiques des cultures lors des deuxième et troisième années de la période de transition biologique en grandes cultures. Les quatre itinéraires agronomiques comparés sont des systèmes avec un labour printanier (A), un labour d’automne (B), un labour d’automne sans fumier (C) ou un travail du sol minimum (D). Les itinéraires n’ont pas eu d’effet sur la résistance à la pénétration du sol, la stabilité des agrégats, la protéine du sol et la respiration du sol. La concentration et le stock de carbone en surface (0-15 cm) étaient similaires entre les itinéraires mais supérieurs dans D par rapport à C dans la couche 15-30 cm. La période de transition de trois ans n’a pas été suffisante pour influencer la santé des sols avec les quatre itinéraires testés. En 2017, le rendement en orge était plus élevé avec l’itinéraire B que le A, mais non différent de l’itinéraire D. Pour le maïs-grain (Zea mays L.) en 2018, l’itinéraire D a entraîné le rendement le plus faible alors que les rendements étaient similaires pour A, B et C. Les cultures de couverture enfouies pour les itinéraires A, B et C, et l’application de fumier pour les itinéraires A et B ont bénéficié au maïs-grain, par rapport à l’itinéraire D. À la troisième année (2019) de la transition biologique, les itinéraires agronomiques n’ont pas eu d’effet sur le rendement de soya (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), culture moins exigeante en azote.Organic farming practices promote biodiversity and soil health. But undertaking a transition to organic farming is a crucial step for a farm, this period often leading to lower yields. The objectives of the project were to assess the effect of different management systems on soil carbon storage and soil health, as well as on the agronomic performance of crops in the second and third years of the transition to organic farming in field crops. The four agronomic management systems tested consisted of spring plowing (A), fall plowing (B), fall plowing without manure (C) or minimum tillage (D). The management systems had no effect on resistance to soil penetration, stability of aggregates, protein and soil respiration. Carbon concentration and stock at the soil surface (0-15 cm) were similar between the systems but higher in D compared to C in the 15-30 cm layer. The three-year transition period was not sufficient to influence soil health with the four management systems tested. In 2017, the barley yield was higher with the management system B than with the A, but not different from D. For grain corn in 2018, management system D resulted in the lowest yield while the yields were similar for A, B and C. Grain corn benefited from cover crops (management systems A, B and C) and the application of manure (A and B), compared to D. In the third year (2019) of the organic transition, agronomic management systems had no effect on the yield of soybeans, a crop requiring less nitrogen
