Hawaiian Sugar Cane Rat Control Methods And Problems, William R. Smythe Mar 1964

Hawaiian Sugar Cane Rat Control Methods And Problems, William R. Smythe

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 2nd (1964)

The problem of rats in our Hawaiian sugar cane fields has been with us for a long time. Early records tell of heavy damage at various times on all the islands where sugar cane is grown. Many methods were tried to control these rats. Trapping was once used as a control measure, a bounty was used for a time, gangs of dogs were trained to catch the rats as the cane was harvested. Many kinds of baits and poisons were used. All of these methods were of some value as long as labor was cheap. Our present day problem started …

Roof Rat Populations In Santa Clara County, California, Dean H. Ecke Mar 1964

Roof Rat Populations In Santa Clara County, California, Dean H. Ecke

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 2nd (1964)

Northern Santa Clara County, California, was historically an agricultural community with orchard culture dominating the economy. Prunes, apricots, walnuts, and cherries were the principal crops. Orchards were disced clean during most of the summer growing season, and a cover crop of mustard or horse beans was grown beneath the trees in winter. About the only "natural" year around cover on the valley floor was the brush and grass which volunteered along the several creek banks. Under such conditions, roof rats (Rattus rattus) were not numerous. An occasional rat colony could be found in a fruit processing shed or …

Occupational Hazards To Pest Control Operators With Special Reference To Pesticides, Irma West Mar 1964

Occupational Hazards To Pest Control Operators With Special Reference To Pesticides, Irma West

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 2nd (1964)

With the help of one of your expert operators I have selected eight pesticides which I understand are widely used in vertebrate pest control, and with one exception, pose substantial safety problems for operators. These pesticides are the anticoagulants, zinc phosphide, 1080, strychnine, thallium sulfate, anhydrous ammonia, carbon disulfide, and methyl bromide. Except for the anticoagulants, it would be hard to assemble a more lethal group of chemicals. I wonder if the talents of chemical research should not be brought into this picture more actively, so that less hazardous materials could be developed for vertebrate pest control. Perhaps the economic …

Diseases Derived From Wildlife, Harald Norlin Johnson M.D. Mar 1964

Diseases Derived From Wildlife, Harald Norlin Johnson M.D.

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 2nd (1964)

The specific diseases of man known to be derived from wildlife in California are: rabies, Western encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, Colorado tick fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, relapsing fever, 0. fever, plague, tularemia, murine typhus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, psittacosis, leptospirosis, salmonellosis and toxoplasmosis. A variety of bacterial infections may be contracted from wild animals, notably those caused by Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis, Pasteurella multocida, Bacillus anthracis, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Clostridium tetani and Listerella monocyto-genes. Certain of the fungus diseases such as coccidioidomycosis and histoplasmosis are derived from exposure to wildlife habitats. California virus has been isolated from arthropods and Rio Bravo virus from bats …

Animal Population Ecology And Control Fundamentals, Kenneth E. F. Watt Mar 1964

Animal Population Ecology And Control Fundamentals, Kenneth E. F. Watt

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 2nd (1964)

Expensive, extensive and apparently lethal control measures have been applied against many species of pest vertebrates and invertebrates for decades. In spite of this, few pests have been annihilated, and in many cases the stated goals have become progressively more modest, so that now we speak of saving foliage or a crop, rather than extermination. It is of interest to examine the reasons why animals are so difficult to exterminate, because this matter, of course, has implications for the type of control policy we pursue in the future. Also, it has implications for the problem of evaluating comparatively various resource …

The Role Of Pest Control Operators In Vertebrate Pest Control, Philip J. Spear Mar 1964

The Role Of Pest Control Operators In Vertebrate Pest Control, Philip J. Spear

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 2nd (1964)

The National Pest Control Association, which I represent, accepts for membership those persons or firms which are actively engaged in the performance of structural pest control services for hire to the public at large and which are in sympathy with the purposes of the Association. The pest control operator in this context might be called a commercial pest control operator to distinguish him from those doing similar work but who are employed by governmental agencies or within large commercial organizations. Pest control is a growing industry with a gross annual income of 300-350 million dollars. It is estimated to contain …

Starlings In The Pacific Northwest, H. Nelson Elliott Mar 1964

Starlings In The Pacific Northwest, H. Nelson Elliott

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 2nd (1964)

As is the case in many sections of the country today, starlings are causing increasing concern in the Pacific Northwest. When these birds were first recognized in Washington, Oregon and Idaho in the early 1940's only small numbers were seen, usually with blackbirds. During the 50's, however, the number of wintering starlings increased from a few birds, to thousands, with estimated flocks of 25,000 to 50,000 in western Oregon and along the Snake River Valley in Idaho and eastern Oregon. During the past five years winter resident populations in these areas have been estimated by the 100,000's, with some observers …

Testing And Registration Of New Control Materials, Donald A. Spencer Mar 1964

Testing And Registration Of New Control Materials, Donald A. Spencer

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 2nd (1964)

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act broadly encompasses, " any substance or mixture of substances intended for pre¬ venting, destroying, repelling, or mitigating...." a pest. The act includes devices as well as chemicals used in the control of pests. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide authoritative evidence of the efficacy and safety of his pesticide product. Within the scope of these four brief excerpts from the act there is much about which personnel engaged in research and development of vertebrate pest control products should be informed. As stated, the coverage of the act is very complete, …

The Role Of Industry In Developing New Materials For Vertebrate Pest Control, G. Hermann, W. M. Zeck Mar 1964

The Role Of Industry In Developing New Materials For Vertebrate Pest Control, G. Hermann, W. M. Zeck

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 2nd (1964)

In the first paper presented to you today by Dr. Spencer, an expert in the Animal Biology field and an official authority at the same time, you heard about the requirements imposed on a chemical in order to pass the different official hurdles before it ever will be accepted as a proven tool in wildlife management. Many characteristics have to be known and highly sophisticated tests have to be run. In many instances the governmental agency maintains its own screening, testing or analytical programs according to standard procedures. It would be impossible, however, for economic and time reasons to work …

Comparative Behavior And Relationships Of The Eiders, Paul A. Johnsgard Mar 1964

Comparative Behavior And Relationships Of The Eiders, Paul A. Johnsgard

Papers in Ornithology

Pair-forming and copulatory displays of the four species of eiders are described and illustrated, based on observations of captive and wild specimens. Behavioral differences indicate that two genera (Polysticta and Somateria) of eiders should be recognized, and that Lamponetta should be considered a synonym of Somateria. Racial differences in the displays of Somateria mollissima mollissima and S. m. v. nigra are explained on the basis of sympatry between the latter and S. fischeri, producing selection for display divergence that has not affected S. m. mollissima. Similarities in the behavior patterns of the eiders and the …

Occurrence Of O-Hydroxycinnamic Acid In Species Of Melilotus And Trigonella, Herman J. Gorz, Francis A. Haskins Mar 1964

Occurrence Of O-Hydroxycinnamic Acid In Species Of Melilotus And Trigonella, Herman J. Gorz, Francis A. Haskins

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Leaf samples from available species of Melitotus and the closely related genus, Trigonella, were assayed for free as well as glucosidically bound cis- and trans-o-hydroxycinnamic acids. A qualitative evaluation of β-glucosidase activity also was made. In none of the species were appreciable quantities of the free acids detected. Of the 19 species of Melilotus sampled, 14 contained high levels of the o-hydroxycinnamic acid glucosides, one (M. infesta) was intermediate, and four were essentially free of these glucosides. The intermediate level in M. infesta is unlike that in any other species of Melilotus, …

Cost Of Operating Tractors In Nebraska, 1961, T. S. Thorfinnson, A. W. Epp Feb 1964

Cost Of Operating Tractors In Nebraska, 1961, T. S. Thorfinnson, A. W. Epp

Department of Agricultural Economics: Faculty Publications

The last study on tractor power and cost of operation on Nebraska farms was published in 1939. Since then so many changes have been made in size of farms, farm machinery, and tractor design and efficiency that current information is needed to bring cost estimates up to date for farmers, county agents, research workers, and many agencies indirectly interested in agriculture. This study was to obtain information on cost and performance of the kinds and sizes of tractors in most general use in Nebraska. Of importance also were the number of hours of use per tractor and the kinds of …

The Natural Propagation Of Northern Pike In Small Drainable Ponds, D. B. Mccarraher Jan 1964

The Natural Propagation Of Northern Pike In Small Drainable Ponds, D. B. Mccarraher

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

To obtain information on the hatching success and fingerling survival of the northern pike (Esox lucius) in small drainable ponds, experiments were initiated at the State Fish Hatchery, Valentine, Nebraska, during the spring seasons of 1955 and 1956.

All the ponds used in this work were winter-fallowed, providing areas without fish populations. At no time in 1955 or 1956 were forage fish added to the ponds.

Adult spawner pike for the ponds were obtained from Mothers Lake (in Cherry County, Nebraska) in 1955 and from Big Alkali Lake (also in Cherry County) during 1956. All breeder pike were …

Louie Louie (The Song)- Fbi File Jan 1964

Louie Louie (The Song)- Fbi File

United States Department of Justice: Publications

In 1963, a rock group named the Kingsmen recorded the song “Louie, Louie.” The popularity of the song and difficulty in discerning the lyrics led some people to suspect the song was obscene. The FBI was asked to investigate whether or not those involved with the song violated laws against the interstate transportation of obscene material. The limited investigation lasted from February to May 1964 and discovered no evidence of obscenity.
