The antibiotic actidione was found to be highly repellent to laboratory rats and to significantly reduce gnawing attacks upon treated paperboards. Rats refused to accept food or water containing this material even under conditions of acute starvation and died of starvation and thirst rather than accept water containing 1.0 mg. of actidione per liter. The compound is highly toxic to rats with the minimum lethal dose by oral administration being approximately 1.0 mg./Kg. body weight. Paperboard treated with the compound resisted gnawing attacks by specially trained and motivated rats for periods of two hundred hours, although similar untreated boards were pierced within thirty to sixty minutes.

chemical repellents, it has been found that certain groups of- compounds containing nitrogen or sulfur are repellent to rats under the , test conditions and it appears probable that some of these compounds might be used for the protection of packaged goods against rodent attacks. Additional tests to determine optimum methods of application will be necessary before final evaluation of these compounds will be possible and extensive field trials will be required to establish the degree of protection which may be afforded by the use of these materials. Pending such final evaluation, it may be assumed that the results,to date offer a means of selecting the most promising types of'materials for further trial....On the basis of the test data, it appears that some amine derivative, such as a salt of some organic, acid, or a complex with trinitrobenzene or with a metallic salt of a dialkyl dithiocarbamic acid might offer promise of protection of packaging materials against rodent attacks....Protection might be obtained through the use of certain 'physical deterrents' such as plastics, waxes or drying oils.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Modern Packaging","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","usgsCitation":"DeWitt, J., Welch, J., and Bellack, E., 1950, Rodent repellency: Modern Packaging, v. 23, no. 9, p. 123-126.","productDescription":"123-126","startPage":"123","endPage":"126","numberOfPages":"4","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":196285,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"23","issue":"9","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a0be4b07f02db5fbd8c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"DeWitt, J.B.","contributorId":89080,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"DeWitt","given":"J.B.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":332213,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Welch, J.F.","contributorId":21241,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Welch","given":"J.F.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":332211,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Bellack, E.","contributorId":78831,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bellack","given":"E.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":332212,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}} ,{"id":5220299,"text":"5220299 - 1950 - Preliminary map showing the winter distribution of the clapper rail (Rallus longirostris subsp.) in the United States","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2012-02-02T00:14:37","indexId":"5220299","displayToPublicDate":"2010-06-16T12:18:18","publicationYear":"1950","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":935,"text":"Audubon Field Notes","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"Preliminary map showing the winter distribution of the clapper rail (Rallus longirostris subsp.) in the United States","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Audubon Field Notes","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","usgsCitation":"Robbins, C., 1950, Preliminary map showing the winter distribution of the clapper rail (Rallus longirostris subsp.) in the United States: Audubon Field Notes, v. 4, no. 6.","productDescription":"307","startPage":"307","numberOfPages":"307","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":193902,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"4","issue":"6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4aafe4b07f02db66ced0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Robbins, C.S.","contributorId":53907,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Robbins","given":"C.S.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":331597,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":70047954,"text":"tei109 - 1950 - Full scale maps to accompany the Uravan mineral belt","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2015-03-10T08:47:54","indexId":"tei109","displayToPublicDate":"2009-01-28T13:41:00","publicationYear":"1950","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":337,"text":"Trace Elements Investigations","code":"TEI","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"109","title":"Full scale maps to accompany the Uravan mineral belt","docAbstract":"No abstract available.

\n\n
Cracking in the interior and exterior walls of the post office building at Welch, West Virginia, developed in the summer of 1947. This cracking appeared about two months after the patching of similar cracks that had developed in 1946. The Public Buildings Administration was requested to investigate the damage. They, in turn, requested the Geological Survey and the Bureau of Mines to furnish representatives to work with their engineer in determining the cause of the cracking. The press gave widespread publicity to the cracking of walls in the post office and other buildings in Welch.

This report explains how the investigation was conducted, describes topographic, geologic, and mining conditions found during the field examination, and draws conclusions based on the facts observed.

V. B. Wells, Chief of the Surface Water Branch, appointed a committee of three hydraulic engineers assigned to the Washington office to make a comparative study of the relative merits of the mean-section and mid-section methods of computing discharge measurements. this was done in order that there might be a basis for either adhering to the present \"official\" method, or adopting another method as the \"official\" one. This study is based on a collection of field data consisting of discharge measurements made with approximately four times the usual number of observations. There was a total of 213 of these special measurements made by all the district offices.
\nThe two methods of computation were examined as to accuracy and time savings. This was done by selecting observation stations from the special measurements to arrive at a synthetic measurement with the usual number of observations. This normal measurement was then computed by both the mean-section and mid-section method of computation for a comparison of results in discharge. A record was kept of the time consumed for computing and checking measurements so that any time savings in either method could be found. Much of the computation work was done in four of the district offices, with a variety in personnel as to grade and to experience in the use of the two methods.

The Oahe irrigation project is planned to supply water to 750,000 to 1,500,000 acres of the most suitable land within the area.
\nThe studies that have been undertaken in the Oahe area by the Ground Water Division of the U. S. Geological Survey form a part of the investigations which are being carried on by several bureaus of the Department of the Interior and other government agencies for the conservation, control and utilization of the water resources of the Missouri River Basin.
\nThe field studies on which the present report is based were made during May 1947 through November 1948 and cover about 1,890 square miles in the southern part of the Oahe area. Data were collected on the character of the surficial geological deposits, and on the occurrence, movement, quantity, and quality of the groundwater supplies.
\nThe report describes the several water-bearing formations and presents nine typical logs of deep artesian wells.

Z. Columbia, Superintendent of the Ambridge Water Works, the United States Geological Survey conducted a \"pumping test\" in the Ambridge well field on November 10, 1949. As used in this report, \"pumping test\" means pumping a well at a fixed rate to determine the hydrologic properties of the water-bearing formation. By measuring the decline and recovery of water level in the pumped well and in other observation wells the necessary information is obtained for computing these properties.
\nSuch procedures are part of the field activities of the ground-water program in Pennsylvania being sponsored jointly by the Pennsylvania Topographic and Geologic Survey and the United States Geological Survey.
\nThe amount of water that can be pumped from an underground formation depends upon its ability to transmit water to a well and upon the amount of water that is released from storage when the water table or pressure head is lowered. The first is measured by the coefficient of transmissibility and the second by the coefficient of storage. These two characteristics are then used to determine the effect on water levels caused by changes in the location and rate of pumping from the aquifer.

This shortage is not the first that has affected an American community and it is not the most serious. Ample sources of additional water are known to exist in Upstate New York and construction that will bring this water to the city is being pushed as rapidly as possible. Nevertheless, the fact that our largest city, the center of our business life, has a water shortage, even though it is temporary, causes even the layman to realize something of the importance that water has in our national life and our national economy. In nearly every State in the Union, one or more communities now has or has had water problems as serious as or more serious than that which face New York City. These problems are springing up in increasing numbers and it is high time that serious consideration be given to the question of the adequacy of our water supplies.
