  • PERFORMANCE REPORT State: Louisiana Project Number: W-55-25 Project Title: Upland Survey Period Covered: July 1, 2010
    PERFORMANCE REPORT State: Louisiana Project Number: W-55-25 Project Title: Upland Survey Period Covered: July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011 Study Number and Title: V-4, Bobwhite Fall Whistling Surveys Study Objective: To determine relative size and distribution of bobwhite populations in Louisiana. Study Abstract Bobwhite fall whistling counts were conducted statewide along 32 routes (7 additional routes were assumed zeros and 4 others were unable to be run). Fall whistling counts did not differ (P = 0.3482) among the 5 habitat types for 2010. They did, however, differ between 2009 and 2010, with more whistling counts detected in 2009 than in 2010 for both the Northwest mixed shortleaf and loblolly pine-hardwood and Florida Parishes loblolly pine habitats. No coveys were recorded on the Northwest mixed shortleaf and loblolly pine- hardwood or Mississippi/Atchafalaya agricultural belt (0.00 whistles/stop) in 2010 (Tables 1 and 2). Jackson- Bienville WMA, Camp Beauregard, and Vernon District No. 1 routes yielded 0.25, 0.00, and 0.10 whistles/stop, respectively (Table 3). Five (5) summer bobwhite counts were conducted on the Sandy Hollow Wildlife Management Area. Counts ranged from 12-45 (Figure 1). The 2011 mean count was 27.6, which is the same as in 2010. The peak count (45) was lower than the long-term (1986-2010) average peak count of 89.3, but was higher than 8 of the past 10 years (Figure 2). A. Activity: Fall whistling counts were conducted along 37 pre-selected routes to determine relative size and distribution of fall bobwhite populations. The 5 habitat types surveyed were historic longleaf pine, mixed shortleaf and loblolly pine-hardwood, loblolly pine (Florida Parishes), the rice belt and the Mississippi/Atchafalaya agricultural belt.

  • 1872: Survivors of the Texas Revolution
    (from the 1872 Texas Almanac) SURVIVORS OF THE TEXAS REVOLUTION. The following brief sketches of some of the present survivors of the Texas revolution have been received from time to time during the past year. We shall be glad to have the list extended from year to year, so that, by reference to our Almanac, our readers may know who among those sketches, it will be seen, give many interesting incidents of the war of the revolution. We give the sketches, as far as possible, in the language of the writers themselves. By reference to our Almanac of last year, (1871) it will be seen that we then published a list of 101 names of revolutionary veterans who received the pension provided for by the law of the previous session of our Legislature. What has now become of the Pension law? MR. J. H. SHEPPERD’S ACCOUNT OF SOME OF THE SURVIVORS OF THE TEXAS REVOLUTION. Editors Texas Almanac: Gentlemen—Having seen, in a late number of the News, that you wish to procure the names of the “veteran soldiers of the war that separated Texas from Mexico,” and were granted “pensions” by the last Legislature, for publication in your next year’s Almanac, I herewith take the liberty of sending you a few of those, with whom I am most intimately acquainted, and now living in Walker and adjoining counties. I would remark, however, at the outset, that I can give you but little information as to the companies, regiments, &c., in which these old soldiers served, or as to the dates, &c., of their discharges.

And the Key Is Integrity of the Warehouse Operator and the Warehouse Receipt Through -- Financial Responsibility Warehouse Facilities and Practices Management’s Ethics and Capabilities Licensing Bonding Examination Electronic Providers March 2015 BACKGROUND INFORMATION LEGISLATIVE The United States Warehouse Act (USWA) or the Act was originally passed by AUTHORITY the Congress on August 11, 1916. On November 9, 2000, the President signed the Grain Standards and Warehouse Improvement Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-472) which amended the USWA in its entirety and modernized the regulation of Federal warehouses to better reflect current trade and operational practices. The 2000 Act authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to license and examine public warehouse operators that store agricultural products. It also gives the Secretary broad authority to improve the administration of various aspects involving the trade of agricultural products under the purview of the USWA, including the use, establishment and maintenance of electronic warehouse receipts and other electronic documents for all agricultural products. The USWA is considered a “permissive regulatory act.” It is permissive because it only applies to warehouse operators who voluntarily apply for licensing and regulatory because each licensee must operate under its provisions and be subject to the regulations and licensing agreements administered by the USWA.

  • Texas Rice June 2010 Volume X Number 4
    Texas Beaumont, Texas Rice June 2010 Volume X Number 4 Past, Present, and Future Disease Management in Rice The Texas Rice Belt provides a warm, humid climate favorable for the development of many rice diseases. Rice diseases cause significant reductions in yield, grain quality, and income to rice growers. The development of diseases is greatly affected by many factors including varietal resistance, environmental conditions, and agronomic practices. As a result, the prevalence and severity of diseases significantly vary with year and location. However, losses from certain diseases can be reduced by the use of resistant varieties, improved practices and management, and effective fungicides and their combinations. The purpose Fig. 1. Severity of brown leaf spot in rice varieties affected by year of this article is to briefly review past of varietal release. and current rice diseases and their management and to outline future by Bipolaris oryzae in 1934, leaf smut caused by disease management of rice in Texas.

KINDS OF PATTERNS OF VARIAnON Geographic patterns of variation have historically been used to trace the ori­ gin and evolution of cultivated plants. We have seen that Vavilov (1926. 1949/50) thought that areas of maximum genetic diversity represented centers of origin and that the origin of a crop could be identified by the simple proce­ dure of analyzing variation patterns and plotting regions where diversity was concentrated. It turned out that centers of diversity are not the same as centers of origin. yet many crops do exhibit centers of diversity. The phenomenon is real and requires explanation. What causes variation to accumulate in secon­ dary centers is not too well understood, but some observable factors are: 1. A long history of continuous cultivation. 2. Ecological diversity. many habitats accommodate many races. 3. Human diversity, different tribes are attracted to different races of the crop. 4. Introgression with wild and weedy relatives or between different races of a crop. There may be other causes. but the reasons for secondary centers are hu­ man.

  • Independence Trail Region, Known As the “Cradle of Texas Liberty,” Comprises a 28-County Area Stretching More Than 200 Miles from San Antonio to Galveston
    n the saga of Texas history, no era is more distinctive or accented by epic events than Texas’ struggle for independence and its years as a sovereign republic. During the early 1800s, Spain enacted policies to fend off the encroachment of European rivals into its New World territories west of Louisiana. I As a last-ditch defense of what’s now Texas, the Spanish Crown allowed immigrants from the U.S. to settle between the Trinity and Guadalupe rivers. The first settlers were the Old Three Hundred families who established Stephen F. Austin’s initial colony. Lured by land as cheap as four cents per acre, homesteaders came to Texas, first in a trickle, then a flood. In 1821, sovereignty shifted when Mexico won independence from Spain, but Anglo-American immigrants soon outnumbered Tejanos (Mexican-Texans). Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna seized control of Mexico in 1833 and gripped the country with ironhanded rule. By 1835, the dictator tried to stop immigration to Texas, limit settlers’ weapons, impose high tariffs and abolish slavery — changes resisted by most Texans. Texas The Independence ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Trail ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ On March 2, 1836, after more than a year of conclaves, failed negotiations and a few armed conflicts, citizen delegates met at what’s now Washington-on-the-Brazos and declared Texas independent.
