Mattamuskeet: A National Wildlife Refuge, Rachel Carson

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Mattamuskeet, Pea Island, and Swanquarter-- two on the mainland and one on the outermost barrier beach--are three National Wildlife Refuges in North Carolina that provide winter food and shelter for more than 100,000 waterfowl. Ducks, geese, and swans that in summer scatter across the northern rim of the world from Greenland to Alaska come down the sky lanes in the fall and in these refuges find the conditions they need to survive the hard months of winter.

At Mattamuskeet you can see one of the largest assemblages of Canada geese on the Atlantic seaboard and more of that giant white …

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Poults, C. W. Ackerson, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

1. Day-old poults were found to contain an average of 1.28 g nitrogen, 0.18 g calcium and 0.15 g phosphorus. 2. Day-old poults were fed equal amounts of a good growing ration for 52 days. Analysis of these poults showed retention of 42.6 per cent of the nitrogen, 23.4 per cent of the calcium and 31.3 per cent of the phosphorus contained in the ration. 3. Retentions of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus were on the same order as those obtained in like feeding trials with chicks.

Riboflavin Production By Molds, George L. Peltier, Raymond Borchers

Papers in Microbiology

Very little information is at hand regarding the ability of molds to synthesize riboflavin. Few citations pertaining directly to riboflavin production by true molds are available.2 Pontovich (1943) found as much as 2 mg riboflavin per g of Aspergillus flavus mycelium. Tanner et at. (1945) determined the quantity of riboflavin in the submerged fermentation media of Penicillium chrysogenum. The highest value found was 1. 36 mg per ml. The primary purpose of this study was to screen several hundred isolates, recently obtained from soil, crop residues, and composts, for their ability to produce riboflavin on a wheat bran substrate.

Aspen For Containers, Waldo Sands

Aspen Bibliography

Aspen, because of its abundance in the Lake States, merits special consideration as to future management, utilization, and marketing. Although aspen lumber is used for many purposes, its chief use during the past decade has been for containers (boxes and crates). It gained its greatest prominence as container material during World War II.

Both producers and users of containers need general information as to availability and supply of aspen, its properties and usefulness for container material. With that in mind, this report on the use of aspen for containers has been prepared.

Mechanical Properties Of Aspen, R. P. A. Johnson

Aspen Bibliography

The clear wood of aspen has inherent properties of merit. Several of these properties are familiar to a large proportion of the general public, for some of the common types of matches are made of this wood. The requirements of wood for matches are exacting in that the wood must combine straightness of grain, ease of splitting, ease of working, and toughness To meet such rigid requirements, a wood must be suitable for other uses as well. The fact that aspen is not used more widely for other purposes lies not in the wood itself but in other factors, such …

Chincoteague: A National Wildlife Refuge, Rachel Carson

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

The national wildlife refuge at Chincoteague, Virginia, is one of the newest in a chain of sanctuaries placed along the flight lanes of the waterfowl. Coming down from the north the principal links of the chain are Parker River, Montezuma, Susquehanna, Brigantine, and Bombay Hook. Then from Chincoteague the links run south, through Back Bay and Pea Island, Mattamuskeet and Cape Romain. Chincoteague, like other waterfowl refuges, is needed because birds migrate, and because in so doing they expose themselves to great dangers.

The migration of birds is one of the ancient spectacles of earth, and one of the most …

Parker River: A National Wildlife Refuge, Rachel Carson

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

The Parker River National Wildlife Refuge is New England's most important contribution to the national effort to save the waterfowl of North America. Many million Americans have a direct stake in the success of this effort: the 2,000,00o waterfowl hunters, the millions who find recreation and esthetic pleasure in observing and photographing the birds, and all those, whom there is no way of counting, who understand the value of preserving wildlife as part of America's natural heritage.

During the several generations in which the United States has been converted from a land preeminently wild and unsettled into an industrial and …

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia In The Right Central Part Of The Semi-Lunar Tendon Of The Cat, Alice Ferguson

The purpose of this paper is to contribute additional in­ formation concerning the site of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in the domestic cat and the extent of displacement of the abdominal contents so that the ontogeny of this anomaly may be better understood.

The Density Of Matter, John D. Boon

Field and Laboratory

Density is the amount of matter in a unit volume of space. In this paper it will be expressed in grams per cubic centimeter. As a rule we think of density as being applicable to the things we deal with in everyday life, forgetting that it is an important characteristic of matter, from atomic nucleus to the stellar universe. To a great extent the behavior of matter may be explained by a knowledge of density.

The Travels And Botanical Collections Of Dr. Melines Conkling Leavenworth, Rogers Mcvaugh

Field and Laboratory

The pages of the classic Flora of North America, (1838- 1843), by John Torrey and Asa Gray, contain approximately 200 references to plants from Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, collected by a certain Dr. Leavenworth….He was indeed the author of a number of botanical papers, but the promise of his early years was never fulfilled. His work is of interest to modern students chiefly because of the material from the then inaccessible "West" and "Southwest", which he contributed to Torrey. He spent about five years at frontier posts in western Louisiana and what is now southeastern Oklahoma, and more …
