Current small-plot variety testing programs are inadequate in scale and design to investigate the economic impact of new transgenic varieties with value-added traits. The objective of this project was to evaluate the profitability of cotton varieties in producers' fields in the Texas High Plains. Three replications of each variety were included at the Farwell and Plains locations with four replications at the Blanco location. At harvest, plot weights were determined using a boll buggy with integral electronic scales. Grab samples were taken from each plot for ginning and fiber quality analysis. In 2012, yields were below what would normally be expected due to continued drought conditions across the Texas High Plains region. A total of three irrigated locations were initiated in 2012. These locations included Blanco, Farwell, and Plains,

    QUATERNARY GEOLOGIC MAP OF AUSTIN 4° x 6° QUADRANGLE, UNITED STATES QUATERNARY GEOLOGIC ATLAS OF THE UNITED STATES MAP I-1420 (NH-14) State compilations by David W. Moore and E.G. Wermund, Jr. Edited and integrated by David W. Moore, Gerald M. Richmond and Ann Coe Christiansen 1993 NOTE: This map is the product of collaboration of the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology and the U.S. Geological Survey, and is designed for both scientific and practical purposes. It was prepared in two stages. First, the map and map explanations were prepared by the State compiler. Second, information on the map was integrated with that of adjacent maps, locally supplemented, and related to a uniform map symbol classification by the editors. Map unit descriptions were edited, supplemented, and coordinated with those of other maps of this series so that individual unit descriptions are applicable throughout both this map and all other maps of the series. Problems of mapping or interpretation in different areas were resolved by correspondence to the extent possible; most simply reflect differences in available information or differences in philosophies of mapping and serve to encourage further investigation. Less than forty percent of the surficial deposits of the United States have been mapped and described. Traditionally, mapping of surficial deposits has focused on glacial, alluvial, eolian, lacustrine, marine, and landslide deposits. Slope and upland deposits have been mapped in detail only in restricted areas. However, an enormous amount of engineering construction and many important problems of land use and land management are associated with regions that have extensive slope and upland deposits (colluvium and residuum, for example).

  • Necessary to a Clearer Understanding of the Tegionexplored
    Article XXVI. -THE FRESH-WATER TERTIARY OF NORTHWESTERN TEXAS. AMERICAN MUSEUM EXPEDITIONS OF I899-I90I. By J. W. GIDLEY. PLATES LII-LVIII. In the spring of I899 Professor Henry F. Osborn sent an expedition, under the leadership of the writer, to the Llano Estacado or Staked Plains in northwestern Texas, for the purpose of exploring the Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene beds previously reported from that region by Professor E. D. Cope and Mr.-W. F. Cummins, of the Texas Geological Survey. This expedition met with such success that a second and third expedition were sent to this region in the successive summers of I900 and I90I. The results of the work of the three years are comprised in this report. The following brief itinerary of the three expeditions seems necessary to a clearer understanding of the tegion explored and the relations of the different localities visited. EXPEDITION OF I899. Clarendon, the county-seat of Donley County, a little town on the Fort Worth and Denver City Railway, was the chief base of outfitting and supplies, and the initial starting-point of the three expeditions. The writer, with Mr. Alban Stewart as assistant and Mr. Alfred Brown as cook and teamster, left Clarendon July i, I899. Going north about ten miles the first camp was estab- lished on Barton Creek, where a thorough exploration of the surrounding country was made. As reported by Cope and Cummins, the beds occupying the tops of the divides in this vicinity are true Miocene and, though of not great vertical thickness nor extensively exposed, are very rich in fossil remains.

PROFESSOR OF GEOLOGY BAYLOR UNIVERSITY 1929-1934 Objectives of Geological Training at Baylor The training of a geologist in a university covers but a few years; his education continues throughout his active life. The purposes of train­ ing geologists at Baylor University are to provide a sound basis of understanding and to foster a truly geological point of view, both of which are essential for continued professional growth. The staff considers geology to be unique among sciences since it is primarily a field science. All geologic research in­ cluding that done in laboratories must be firmly supported by field observations. The student is encouraged to develop an inquiring ob­ jective attitude and to examine critically all geological concepts and principles. The development of a mature and professional attitude toward geology and geological research is a principal concern of the department.
