Waterfowl Of North Dakota, Paul A. Johnsgard

Papers in Ornithology

North Dakota is a great waterfowl state. Within its borders more ducks nest every summer than in any other state. Each fall thousands of hunters share in the excellent duck and goose hunting, and every school child is aware of the immense flocks of migrating waterfowl that are such a common sight. This booklet was written not only to serve as a guide in identifying these birds, but also to point out something of their habits and importance.

Depositor's note (June 2008): Paul seemed delighted when I presented him the source copy of this little pamphlet, which I had found …

Stream Pollution, Ruth Patrick

United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications

This paper discusses the various ways in which aquatic organisms may be of use in solving problems associated with waste disposal. Since many state and federal laws set forth that nothing may be discharged that is deleterious to aquatic life, the most expedient way to determine the effect of an effluent is to study the aquatic organisms themselves.

In every river that has not been adversely affected by pollution there is a great variety of aquatic life. These organisms do not represent a great mass of living things, but rather they are organized into an intricately balance systems, often referred …

The Birds Of Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba, Canada, J. Dewey Soper

Other Publications in Wildlife Management

Riding Mountain National Park is located in southwestern Manitoba within easy reach of important centres of population. From park headquarters at Wasagaming, it is only 140 miles southeast to Winnipeg, 57 miles south to Brandon, 35 miles north to Dauphin, and 102 miles to the International Boundary. Most of the surrounding country is devoted to agriculture.

The total park area approximates 1,148 square miles. Except for restricted tourist areas, it remains in a primitive condition, with unspoiled forests, prairies, streams, and lakes.

Up to the time the area was set aside as a park in 1929, comparatively little was known …

Avian Botulism Information On Earlier Research

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Over the years, the disease, avian botulism, has been an important factor limiting populations of waterfowl, particularly in the West. Great numbers (doubtless millions) of ducks have died from this disease, and because of such heavy tolls, studies of the malady were begun early in the century and continued intermittently to the present time.

This summary brings up to 1950 the series of investigations on botulism by Wetmore (1918), Kalmbach (1930, 1932), Kalmbach and Gunderson (1934), Sperry (1947), and others. This information has been compiled as a service to those concerned with conservation of our waterfowl resources. A cooperative agreement …

A Survey Of Farm-Game Habitat Restoration Programs In Fifteen States, William H. Marshall

Other Publications in Wildlife Management

For at least twenty years the thinking of wildlife managers has been directed toward the importance of habitat in producing surplus game populations for hunting. The decline or disappearance of game populations - often over considerable areas - following changes in habitat brought about by agricultural, urban, or industrial developments demonstrates clearly the effects of the elimination of desirable habitat. Suitable habitat is basic to the survival of wildlife. Many field observations and experiences, as well as specific data from research, validate this conclusion. Where a harvestable surplus of game cannot be maintained because of changes made by man in …

The Ecology Of Mosquito Borne Viruses, Carl M. Eklund

United States Public Health Resources

The ecology of a mosquito borne virus involves a consideration of the growth of the virus within the vertebrate and arthropod hosts, the reaction of these hosts to the presence of the virus, and the vertebrate-arthropod associations which are necessary for the dissemination and maintenance of the virus. Little is known of the physiological properties of a particular host and virus which permit multiplication of the virus. In this review stress will be laid u pon studies which attempt to discover the mechanisms in nature which maintain these viruses. The first section will relate to the geographical distribution and time …

Those documents were assigned PB numbers which were to be used as order numbers when ordering documents from the Publication Board.

Contracts — Damages — Burden Of Proof On Elements Of Damage In Actions For Breach Of A Correspondence School Contract, Donn E. Davis

Nebraska Law Review

Where P contracts to build a house for D, and after P has partially performed the contract, D notifies him to stop working, thereby breaching the contract, P’s recovery in an action for the breach is limited to the amount of damages he can prove with reasonable certainty. The items comprising his damages are the expenses incurred up to the time of the breach, plus the expected profits on the total contract. This is the normal rule in contracts cases.

However, where P is a correspondence school, and D a person who has contracted to pay for correspondence courses and …

Upon his return, he was excluded from the United States by order of the Attorney General for "security reasons," without a hearing and without being advised of the reason for his exclusion.

Recent Cases: Constitutional Law — Freedom Of Speech — Conviction For Speaking After Having Been Wrongfully Denied License To Do So, Alan J. Garfinkle

Nebraska Law Review

Defendant, a Jehovah's Witness, was convicted of conducting a public meeting in a city park without first obtaining the license re­quired by city ordinance. Defendant maintained that he had applied for such license, but had been wrongfully denied it. The New Hamp­shire Supreme Court held the ordinance valid, and the conviction binding, notwithstanding the wrongfulness of the refusal to grant the license. Upon appeal to the United States Supreme Court, held: conviction affirmed. The refusal to grant the license was a wrongful contravention of purely ministerial powers conferred by the ordinance; but such wrongfulness was no defense to defendant's violation …

Plaintiff then made ex­tensive efforts to dispose of the tires, but because of their unusual dimensions was able to sell only 212 of them. In 1943, defendant, the United States Government, requisitioned the remaining 208 tires and awarded the plaintiff $1,003.14, the value of the tires as scrap iron. Plaintiff refused the award claiming that even though no market was available for the unsold tires, the tires should have been valued …
