Plant Pathologist A mild winter throughout the southern U.S, was interr~pted only by a single cold period in central Texas. Subsoil moisture was adequate during the winter; however, a dry spring in the Texas-Arkansas area was becoming critical to cereal crops by late April. Widespread showers on April 27 and 28 may have re­ lieved this moisture stress. A cold spring slowed spring planting in the Dakota's and Minnesota. Currently, crops are approximately a week later than normal with little planting done in Minnesota and North Dakota, and wet fields may continue to delay planting. Wheat is generally in the dough stages in north central Texas and south­ ern Alabama, and from central Georgia through the l1ississippi Delta area wheac varies from berry to milk stages. Wheat in Kansas varies from the late boot to heading stage with the exception of the extreme Northwest where the wheat is nor­ mally later~ Oats are generally in the milk stage across the South along the Gulf Coast and north central Texas.

Like people, their personalities are changeable; however, unlike people, a river can be radically different at the same time, depending on the po­ sition from which one views it. Cold hearted indeed is the individual who can gaze at a mighty river wending across the earth without feeling twinges of wanderlust. Certainly the author can claim no such grasp of reality. Of all the rivers which grace the North American continent, few have had as varied and significant a history as the Red River. Although less well known than others, such as the Mississippi and the Missouri, the Red has enjoyed a central position in the history of the American West. From the time of the arrival of Redmen in North America to the present, some nation, state, or tribe has cherished the river for its advantages, claimed ownership of it, tried to discover the secrets it held, or tried to change it.. From the beginning of the Franco-.Spanish conflict in the Southwest to the end of the dispute between Texas and Oklahoma in the 1920s, the river was the center of controversy.

  • 91 New Cyprinid Fishes of the Genus Notropis from Texas
    1951, No. 1 NEW CYPRINID FISHES FROM TEXAS March 30 91 NEW CYPRINID FISHES OF THE GENUS NOTROPIS FROM TEXAS * CARL L. HUBBS Scripps Institution of Oceanography and KELSHAW BONHAM Applied Fisheries Laboratory University of Washington, Seattle During the past three decades the known freshwater fsh fauna of eastern North America, one of the richest in the world, has been further augmented by the discovery of many new species. Unfortunately, pressure of other duties has prevented the formal naming of a considerable propor- tion of these discoveries. The three new species of Notropis from Texas here treated—ox yrhyncbus, brazosensis and potteri—are among the fishes for which the initial published descriptions have been unduly withheld. Since further delay would interfere with the researches and publications of other ichthyologists and fishery biologists, these species are now diagnosed. The three species are apparently confined to eastern Texas, for they have never been collected in the extensive surveys of surrounding regions, namely northeastern Mexico (Hubbs and Gordon, MS) , New Mexico (sur- vey in progress by William J. Koster), Oklahoma (work begun by Orten- burger and Hubbs, 1926, and Hubbs and Ortenburger, 1929 a-b, and now being continued by George A. Moore) , and Louisiana (more cursory collecting). These shiners, especially oxyrhynchus and brazosensis, abound in the very silty water of the Brazos River and its main tributaries, which are thus shown to have a somewhat distinctive fauna. As native species, N. oxyrhynchus and N. potteri seem to be confined to the Brazos River system (the population of N. potteri currently existing in and about arti- ficial Lake Texoma in the Red River system, between Texas and Oklahoma, is interpreted as the result of the establishment of escaped bait minnows).

  • Chapter 2: Natural and Cultural Setting
    Chapter 2: Natural and Cultural Setting Wooten addressed the problem again in 1907 and reported favorably on a dam-only alternative ($100,000). The object of the proposed dam was to save the navigability of the route between Caddo T. Lake ant Jefferson. Although the dam would destroy navigation between Jefferson and Shreveport, a lock court be placed through the dam at a later point and a channel dredged below. The citizens of Jefferson, through their congressional representative, immediately moved to modify the proposal, ant the Rivers ant Harbors Act of March 1909 included provisions for a resurvey to include a lock with the dam. The resulting report by Capt. A F. Waldron favored the modification ant recommended that the dam not be built if the modification were not included. The Rivers and Harbors Act of June 1910 appropriated $100,000 for the dam-only alternative and stipulated that the tam would be built in such a manner as to admit a lock when deemed necessary. The Rivers and Harbors Act of February 1911 initiated another survey to include the lock and downstream dredging. The report by Capt. T. H. Jackson was unfavorable. The dam was completed in December 1914 in the manner directed by Congress, bringing the history of navigation to Jefferson to a close, but with a provision that enabled hope for the resurrection of the waterway to continue. 75 CHAPTER 3 REMOTE-SENSING SURVEY AND DIVER EVALUATION Remote-Sensing Survey Introduction The use of remote-sensing technology in the search for shipwrecks teas become an increasingly common aspect of underwater archaeology in recent years.

Foreword The General Services Administration, through the National Archives and Records Service, is responsible for administering the permanently valuable noncurrent records of the Federal Government. These archival holdings, now amounting to more than 1 million cubic feet, date from the days of the First Continental Congress and consist of the basic records of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of our Government. The Presidential libraries of Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Gerald R. Ford contain the papers of those Presidents and of many of their associates in office. These research resources document significant events in our Nation's history, but most of them are preserved because of their continuing practical use in the ordinary processes of government, for the protection of private rights, and for the research use of scholars and students.

  • The Social Consequences of River Basin Development
    THE SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF RIVER BASIN DEVELOPMENT CARL F. KRAENZEL* I INTRODUCTION Why is the United States concerned with river basin development? Does it need greater industrial and agricultural production than is potentially in prospect? This is hardly the case, except, perhaps, taking an extremely long-range view. Does it face difficulty in supplying the necessary livelihood for its anticipated population for the next quarter of a century? This, too, is inconceivable. Does it need more urbaniza- tion and a greater concentration of its population? This, also, is insupportable, al- though a case can, perhaps, be made that too many of our cities and too much of our urban population are located in too circumscribed a part of the nation for its fullest and most balanced over-all development. The nation's concern with river basin development, it is submitted, is rather largely socially motivated, stemming from a desire to provide a more equitable and favorable economic and social climate for all of its citizens. For, it has been recog- nized that such development is an effective instrument for the conservation of re- sources, human and otherwise. It affords the controls needed to keep water, soil, and vegetation in place and at a high level of production, so that Americans of today and tomorrow will continue to enjoy an increasingly rising standard of living. It gives greater assurance of maximum utilization of power, irrigation, and other natural resource potential. And, perhaps most significantly, it imports a change in social values, emphasizing not only the natural-resource-conservation and individual- well-being points of view, but also the need for creating a greater, more pervasive social responsibility, extending over increasingly larger geographic areas and encom- passing rural-urban differences and hinterland-metropolitan interdependence.
