Food Safety Program: Endrin Monitoring In The Mississippi River, Arthur F. Novak, M. R. Ramachandra Rao
Food Safety Program: Endrin Monitoring In The Mississippi River, Arthur F. Novak, M. R. Ramachandra Rao
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
Twelve successive monthly samplings and analyses of representative fish and shellfish and of mud and water from the lower Mississippi River showed neither a high concentration of endrin nor a time-ordered change in the concentration. The general absence of endrin from the samples indicated no significant contamination.

The Fate Of Pesticide Residues In Soil, Russell S. Adams Jr.
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
Pesticidal chemicals may be lost from or inactivated in soil by volatilization, leaching, sorption, chemical' degradation, microbial decomposition, or plant removal. The persistence of o pesticide in soil depends upon the chemical nature of the pesticide and certain characteristics of the soil. Soil mineral and organic colloids sorb these compounds very tightly and restrict microbial decomposition of the pesticide. Conditions favoring microbial activity in the soil also favor the disappearance of pesticide residues. Factors that contribute to the persistence of o pesticide ore the some factors that increase its persistence.
The Ord River Catchment Regeneration Project. 1. The Nature, Extent And Causes Of Erosion In The Ord River Catchment Area, K Fitzgerald
The Ord River Catchment Regeneration Project. 1. The Nature, Extent And Causes Of Erosion In The Ord River Catchment Area, K Fitzgerald
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
OF the 17,800 square miles of Ord River catchment area, an estimated 1,450 square miles of country is subject to varying degrees of erosion.
This lies astride the Ord River and its major tributaries, the Elvire, Negri, Stirling, Panton, Turner, Nicholson and RB rivers.
The bulk of the eroded country lies in W.A. but part projects into the Northern Territory.

Land Grading In South West Irrigation Areas, 1966-67, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Land Grading In South West Irrigation Areas, 1966-67, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Land grading in the South West Irrigation Areas with modern earth moving equipment first commenced in 1949.
The advantages of land grading are well recognised by farmers and this season grading operations were carried out on 208 farms.

The Hamel Nursery, K S. Cole
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A LITTLE known, but highly productive use of irrigation water occurs at the Forestry Department Nursery, Hamel.
Seedlings of trees and shrubs are raised during the summer for sale the following winter.
Sales are made to the farming community and many trees are used by the Forest Department in its reafforestation programmes.
Water Blooms, T E H Aplin
Water Blooms, T E H Aplin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
WHEN a body of water becomes discoloured with a super-abundance of free-floating, microscopic plant or, in rare cases, animal life, it is said to develop a "water bloom."
This article discusses some aspects of the appearance of water blooms, particularly those caused by algae, and with the effects that certain toxic algae have on livestock.
