Progress Report On The Ground-Water Hydrology Of The Republican And Frenchman River Valleys, With A Section On The Chemical Quality Of The Ground Water, Herbert A. Waite, Herbert A. Swenson

United States Geological Survey: Water Reports and Publications

Abstract for first section

This report is based on current investigations of the groundwater resources of the Republican and Frenchman River Valleys in Nebraska and includes data gathered to December 31, 1947. These studies vere started late in 1945 as a part of a program of groundwater investigations now in progress in connection with the Missouri River basin development plan. Studies to date have consisted principally of periodic observations of water table fluctuations at selected observation wells, of collection of samples of groundwater for chemical analysis, and of collection of data concerning the municipal water supplies in the valley. In …

Studies On The Natural History Of The Limpets Of The Family Acmaedae, Ferdinand Stanley Ruth

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is a report of the findings of two years of part-time work on the limpets of the family Acmaedae. The major portion of the work was done on the Monterey Peninsula between Point Pines, 36° 38' 30" N. latitude, 121° 56' 00" W. longitude, and Pescadero Point 30° 33' 40" N. latitude, 121° 56' 30" W. longitude. The work on homing in Acmaea persona, artificial parthenogenesis in the eggs of Acmaea pelta, and artifical insemination of the eggs of Acmaea pelta was carried on at the Pacific Marine Station, Dillon Beach, California at 38° 14' 30" N. latitude, …

Plan Of Development For Valley Gravity Project, Julius A. Krug, Michael W. Straus, Wesley R. Nelson

Lower Rio Grande Valley Curated Material

"The Valley Gravity Project Plan has been formulated to furnish an adequate and dependable irrigation water supply for fertile and productive area in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas, It would also provide drainage works, which would remove the threat of destruction of the economy of the area due to effects of a high water table and salt accumulations. The project works would permit generation of the maximum practicable amount of electrical energy which otherwise would be required to operate irrigation pumping plants. Other incidental benefits include fish and wildlife conservation, recreation and flood control."

Observations On The Nighttime Resting And Biting Habits Of Anopheline Mosquitoes In Ddt-Treated And-Untreated Buildings, Clarence M. Tarzwell, Frank W. Fisk

United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications

Laboratory cage tests and controlled experiments in houses have clearly demonstrated that residual-spray deposits of DDT are lethal to mosquitoes for considerable periods. Although these tests valuable information on the durability of DDT residual deposits, they did not give information on the mortality of malaria mosquitoes naturally entering treated dwellings in search of a blood meal. In order to secure a lethal dose of DDT from residual deposits, mosquitoes must actually touch the material and be exposed to it for a considerable period. This period has been shown to vary (1), depending on the temperature, age of treatment, density and …

Duck, Goose And Pheasant Records From Ogallala Game Dressing Station, 1943-1946, John H. Wampole

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

For several seasons records of the number of ducks brought in to be dressed have been kept at an Ogallala dressing station. Records have been tabulated and summarized in an effort to measure the hunter success. Since no record of hunter-days or hunter-trips is obtainable, this report is based upon seasonal totals, daily averages, and numbers per bag. Table III (page 27) shows the number of bags, seasonal totals and average numbers of birds per bag. Table IV shows the take by months and Table V shows the averages per day for the three months of each season.

Wildlife Records From Mail Carriers In April, Levi L. Mohler

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

608 mail carriers kept records of game birds seen during the week of April 21 - 26. This was the eighth time that mail carriers have cooperated on a statewide basis. April counts were omitted in 1946 but comparisons are made below of 1945 and 1947 data.

The mail carriers' work provides an inexpensive method of getting extensive statewide observations, and informational bulletins returned to the carriers are of definite value as a public relations step. (Many ot the carriers send in long letters, in addition to the card form, and in a number of instances they have reported information …

Water Levels And Artesian Pressure In Wells In Las Vegas Valley And In Other Valleys In Nevada, 1913-1945, T. W. Robinson, George B. Maxey, J. C. Fredericks, C. Harry Jameson

Publications (WR)

The rock formations of the earth are great natural reservoirs in which a part of the water derived from rain and snow is stored. Water levels and artesian pressure in wells register the stages of these natural reservoirs. The changes in water levels or artesian pressure are indicative of the depletion or replenishment of the natural reservoirs. Systematic and periodic measurements of water levels and artesian pressure in wells have been made in Nevada, by State and Federal agencies from time to time. However, only a few of these measurements have ever been published. Under the cooperative arrangement between the …

Range Land Of America And Some Research On Its Management, Laurence A. Stoddart

Faculty Honor Lectures

Although grazing of livestock has been a practice and a profession of man almost from his beginning only recently has range management reached anything approaching a pre~ cise science. Although ' trials and errors over the years brought to light much practical methodology for assuring high production from grazing land, still it remained for the plant physiologist and ecologist to find the whys and wherefores, and to advance new methods and new thoughts which promise to increase productivity still further and at the same time maintain the great range resource.

The peculiar land situation that marked America in her forma~ …

Progress Report On The Ground-Water Resources Of The Las Vegas Artesian Basin, Nevada, George B. Maxey, C. Harry Jameson

Publications (WR)

Whether the tremendously increased population acquired by Las Vegas in the years 1940 to 1942 will be retained cannot at present be foretold. However, the valley will undoubtedly be expected to support a considerably larger population than it did at any time prior to 1940, and continually increasing demands on the water supply for innumerable pcacetimc activities must be anticipated. Therefore, a sound evaluation of tho ground water resources of Las Vegas Valley is directly in line with the other wisely progressive planning programs which are now operating or are taking shape in the valley as well as in the …

Comparison Of Census Methods For Pheasants In Nebraska, H. Elliot Mcclure

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

In plans for the Nebraska Upland Game Bird Pittman Robinson Project the censusing of pheasants and tabulation of population densities was of prime importance. A summary of the data at hand and a comparison of the various methods tried will be discussed here.

Censusing Pheasants By Detonations, H. Elliot Mcclure

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

A study of the ecology and management of the ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus c. torquatus) was begun in Nebraska in the spring of 1941. Prime among the objectives of the survey was to devise some method by which the populations could be estimated or counted. In conjunction with roadside counts as practiced in Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other states, attempts were made to derive a closer estimate than by that method. Every game technician working with roadside counts of pheasants realizes the difficulties involved. Having had success in estimating the numbers of mourning doves by counting their calls …

Pheasant Weights And Time Of Season In Relation To Meat Production In Nebraska, Levi L. Mohler

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

During the 1942 pheasant hunting season in Nebraska 479 bagged cock pheasants were weighed in western and southwestern counties. Analysis of the weights revealed that the time of the open season apparently has a material effect upon the tonnage of meat harvested for human consumption.
