Technology links and stresses shape student life in polls
An AP mtvU poll of 2,207 undergrads at 40 four year schools shows social networks strongly bind students, with 90 percent using social sites weekly and 85 percent feeling more connected. But 60 percent report recent stress and 18 percent say a friend has attempted self harm or worse. Students seek help online yet favor face to face talks for resolving issues. Sources note gender differences and caution about exposure and pressure. The study was conducted Sept 20 to 24 by Edison Research.

Innovative no till farmer uses turnips radishes to enrich soil
Pettijohn, a 3,300 acre no till grower and KU 1992 graduate, shifts to unconventional crops to improve soil. He seeds turnips at 2 1/2 pounds per acre then radishes shallowly at 1 1/2 pounds per acre on August first, aided by late moisture. He plans future field changes and notes radishes’ nitrogen release and soil penetration. He also doubles sunflowers after wheat to break up soil, building organic matter and residue.
