April, with 18 days of rain measuring 8.16 inches, was our wettest month. November and December, with 5»59 Qnd 5»78 Inches, helped bring our annual rainfall to the near norm. July, with only .25 inches of rain and five continuous days (10th - li+th) of 100-plus degree temperature, was not only our driest month, but was the contributing factor in poor crop yields. Although rainfall was near the norm, crop yields were poor. Early plantings were delayed by April's rains. Late plantings failed to pro­ duce due to July's excessive heat and dryness. Weather data for the year was obtained from records at the Forest Service Wood Pilot Plant located at V.T.I, on the refuge. Page 2 B» Habitat Conditions Water Crab Orchard Lake - Lake level at the beginning of the year was l-g- feet below the spillway level of 1405,0 feet, MSL, Heavy rains in early January brought the lake level to l+0i4,8 feet on January 10th. The gate valve was opened on January 5th and re­ mained open until April 1+th, During this time the lake remained at or near the spillway level. Heavy rains in late April raised the lake to I+O6.85 feet on April 28th, Lake levels remained at or above spillway elevation until June 27th, A gradual drop in the lake level began in mid-July and continued into October, reach­ ing the 1405-9 foot elevation on October 17th, Because of frequent and heavy precipitation, the gate valve was opened on October 20th and remained open during the remainder of the year. The lake level at the close of the year was l+Ol+.O feet; one foot above the ap­ proved fall drawdown elevation. Little Grassy Lake - The lake level was at the spillway eleva- tion of 500,00 feet, MSL, at the beginning of the year. The lake level remained near the spillway elevation until late April, Heavy rains brought the lake level to a peak of 5OO06 feet on April 27th, Lake levels remained near the spillway elevation until mid-July when a gradual drop began. The level had reached I|.99,0 feet on October 20th when the valve was opened to further draw the lake down for a beach improvement project. The valve was closed on November 8th when the lake level reached 1+97,5 feet. Rains raised the lake level to l499»7 feet at the end of the year. Devils Kitchen Lake - The lake level was at the spillway ele­ va t iorT^T^ToTo^TeeTTlASL, at the beginning of the year. With minor fluctuations, the lake level remained at the spillway ele­ vation until mid-April, By April ll+th, the lake level had risen to 5'0,6 feet, and the lake remained over spillway elevation during the remainder of the month. Heavy rains in early May raised the lake level to its peak of 511,0 feet on May l6th. The lake level receded to the spillway elevation by the end of May and remained at that level until a gradual drop began in mid-July, The lake level had dropped to 509«0 feet by the end of November, but December rains brought the level up to 510,0 feet by the end of the year. Page 3 2. Food and Cover For all practicable purposes, corn available for geese in the fields was gone by December 3'* 1966. The amount of corn planted this year was reduced by 61+5 acres over that planted in I965, and along with dry weather and a late plant, combined to produce about a Lpfo drop in the production compared to the 1965 crop. Winter wheat for use as a green browse for geese was greatly increased from 1+26 acres in 1965 to 997«5 acres in 1966. The pro­ duction was good, and excellent utilization resulted. As a result of the heavy utilization of the wheat crop and the poor corn crop, the majority of geese were forced to feed off of the refuge by December 3'* some traveling as far as 60 miles to feed, Pasture land has received higher utilization by geese this year. This is also the first year that they have utilized the middle of standing corn fields in appreciable numbers. We believe the reason for the greater use of pasture lands and standing corn is a direct result of limited available food. Four and one-half acres of supplementary winter food plots for up land game now exist wi th in Areas I and III. Proso M i I let and AM lo were seeded, but due to late planting and dry weather, the yield was of poor qua Ii ty. Page h II.

  • Illustration and the Visual Imagination in Modern Japanese Literature By
    Eyes of the Heart: Illustration and the Visual Imagination in Modern Japanese Literature By Pedro Thiago Ramos Bassoe A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy in Japanese Literature in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Daniel O’Neill, Chair Professor Alan Tansman Professor Beate Fricke Summer 2018 © 2018 Pedro Thiago Ramos Bassoe All Rights Reserved Abstract Eyes of the Heart: Illustration and the Visual Imagination in Modern Japanese Literature by Pedro Thiago Ramos Bassoe Doctor of Philosophy in Japanese Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel O’Neill, Chair My dissertation investigates the role of images in shaping literary production in Japan from the 1880’s to the 1930’s as writers negotiated shifting relationships of text and image in the literary and visual arts. Throughout the Edo period (1603-1868), works of fiction were liberally illustrated with woodblock printed images, which, especially towards the mid-19th century, had become an essential component of most popular literature in Japan. With the opening of Japan’s borders in the Meiji period (1868-1912), writers who had grown up reading illustrated fiction were exposed to foreign works of literature that largely eschewed the use of illustration as a medium for storytelling, in turn leading them to reevaluate the role of image in their own literary tradition. As authors endeavored to produce a purely text-based form of fiction, modeled in part on the European novel, they began to reject the inclusion of images in their own work.

  • Western Influence on Japanese Art Song (Kakyoku) in the Meiji Era Japan
    WESTERN INFLUENCE ON JAPANESE ART SONG (KAKYOKU) IN THE MEIJI ERA JAPAN JOANNE COLE Master of Music Performance (by Research) Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts and Music The University of Melbourne December 2013 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music Performance (by Research) Produced on Archival Quality Paper Abstract The focus of this dissertation is the investigation of the earliest Western influences on Kōjō no Tsuki (Moon over the Castle) the composition of Japanese composer Rentaro Taki. Kōjō no Tsuki is an example of an early Japanese Art Song known as Kakyoku composed during Meiji Era Japan (1868 - 1912). The dissertation is divided into four chapters with an introduction. Chapter One explores the historical background of the Meiji Era Japan, highlighting the major impact of the signing of the treaty between the United States of America and Japan in 1853. This treaty effectively opened Japan to the West, not only for trade, but for exchange of social, political and cultural ideas. The resulting evolution that occurred in Japan from feudal society to one of early twentieth century is illustrated by reference to articles and writings of the Meiji Era. The second chapter examines the Japanese Art Song form Kakyoku using the example of Rentarō Taki’s song, Kōjō no Tsuki. This chapter presents an argument to illustrate, from an anthropological viewpoint, why this new form of Japanese Art Song could have its own identity based on Western ideas and not be categorised as a Japanese Folk Song known as Minʹyō or Shin Minyō.
