RUSSELL NATIONAL WILDLIFE RANGE Lewistown, Montana NARRATIVE REPORT January - December 1966 I. GENERAL A, Weather Conditions Above average temperatures and below average rainfall during late spring and early summer resulted in generally low production of forage. Many stockwater reservoirs in the area dried up or became un­ usable in late summer because of stagnating water and a problem of livestock bogging along the water's edge. Below average snow in the mountains in western Montana pro­ duced little water during the spring thaw and resulted in the level of the Missouri River above Fort Peck Reservoir being at its lowest point for many years. River ice rotted away very slowly and no damage due to flooding or ice jams was sustained. The ice "went out" on March 29 without incident. Low water levels and low temperatures during early November caused the river to freeze solid about a month earlier than last year. Despite the early freezeup of the river, the lake itself remained ice free. During the last week in December, the narrow portion of the lake from Devil's Greek east to Timber Creek became icebound but the major portion of the reservoir was open except for small bays and inlets. A 20 mile stretch of river below the confluence of the Judith River remained open as well as a few stretches up to 300 yards in length at Rocky Point and Slippery Ann.

Corps officials have repeatedly stated they intend to hold the level as high as possible and perhaps even reach the 2250 level if moisture should become available. As the table illustrates, 2242.1 was the highest level reached during 1966 as compared to 2245.6 in 1965. This level attained in 1965 is the highest the Fort Peck Reser­ voir has ever been. 2 , Food and Cover It appeared on the east end that moisture was sufficient during the growing season to provide good plant growth. Most hay crops in the Fort Peck area were considered fair or at least normal but below the 1965 yield. Farming efforts on the refuge lands produced good barley crops. Heavy use of the fields after harvest by the wintering mallards has nearly depleted the loose and available grain. Moisture conditions during the fall months were such that volunteer barley attained heights of 8" to 10". Ducks were observed to make light use of this barley and goose use was even lighter. Generally, the effects on food and cover by this year's lack of moisture are perhaps delayed due to a high precipitation cycle the past several years. White-tailed deer habitat inundated by the Fort Peck Reservoir remains a loss that cannot be mitigated by further up­ stream development. Prime big game habitat located in areas isolated from heavy livestock use is adequate only because deer and elk popu­ lations are low. The crops of barley, millet, and corn grown at Slip­ pery Ann were 90% utilized at the end of the year. The 20 acre cornfield proved to be very attractive to elk. So much so, in fact, that the ears of corn were nipped prior to their maturing and few, if any, ears de­ veloped as a result. Results were most graphic at the year's end since only an occasional shattered stalk remained of the original luxuriant cornfield. II. WILDLIFE A. Migratory Birds 1. Waterfowl Census figures indicate a normal number, except for unseasonal lows in September and a peak in November, of the various species of ducks, coots, and grebes on the Missouri River and Fort Peck Reservoir. However, populations on the stockwater ponds and marsh habitat elsewhere on the game range were less than last year due to a lack of sufficient precipita­ tion. All stockponds were critically low and many dried up completely during the nesting season. A winter population of 15,000 mallards remained at Fort Peck during the critical months of January and February. A decrease to 10,000 occurred February 27, and only 2,500 remained on March 7. Mortality was held to a minimum and a total of 3,000 bu. of grain was fed out during this period. Mallard weights were sampled in order to gage the winter feeding program at Fort Peck.

  • Water on the Moon, III. Volatiles & Activity
    Water on The Moon, III. Volatiles & Activity Arlin Crotts (Columbia University) For centuries some scientists have argued that there is activity on the Moon (or water, as recounted in Parts I & II), while others have thought the Moon is simply a dead, inactive world. [1] The question comes in several forms: is there a detectable atmosphere? Does the surface of the Moon change? What causes interior seismic activity? From a more modern viewpoint, we now know that as much carbon monoxide as water was excavated during the LCROSS impact, as detailed in Part I, and a comparable amount of other volatiles were found. At one time the Moon outgassed prodigious amounts of water and hydrogen in volcanic fire fountains, but released similar amounts of volatile sulfur (or SO2), and presumably large amounts of carbon dioxide or monoxide, if theory is to be believed. So water on the Moon is associated with other gases. Astronomers have agreed for centuries that there is no firm evidence for “weather” on the Moon visible from Earth, and little evidence of thick atmosphere. [2] How would one detect the Moon’s atmosphere from Earth? An obvious means is atmospheric refraction. As you watch the Sun set, its image is displaced by Earth’s atmospheric refraction at the horizon from the position it would have if there were no atmosphere, by roughly 0.6 degree (a bit more than the Sun’s angular diameter). On the Moon, any atmosphere would cause an analogous effect for a star passing behind the Moon during an occultation (multiplied by two since the light travels both into and out of the lunar atmosphere).

Under Section 6 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (Public Law 78-534), the Secretary of the Army is authorized to make agreements with states, municipalities, private concerns, or individuals for surplus water that may be available at any reservoir under the control of the Department. Terms of the agreements are normally for five (5) years, with an option for a five (5) year extension, subject to recalculation of reimbursement after the initial five (5) year period. This proposed action will allow the Omaha District to enter into surplus water agreements with interested water purveyors and to issue easements for up to the total amount of surplus water to meet regional water needs.

Stock No. 003-003-01654-3 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 76-600055 Foreword "Weights and Measures," said John Quincy Adams in 1821, "may be ranked among the necessaries of life to every individual of human society." That sentiment, so appropriate to the agrarian past, is even more appropriate to the technology and commerce of today. The order that we enjoy, the confidence we place in weighing and measuring, is in large part due to the measure- ment standards that have been established. This publication, a reprinting and updating of an earlier publication, provides detailed information on the origin of our standards for mass and length. Ernest Ambler Acting Director iii Preface to 1976 Edition Two publications of the National Bureau of Standards, now out of print, that deal with weights and measures have had widespread use and are still in demand.
