Aging small Canada geese by neck plumage
K.F. Higgins, L.J. Schoonover
1969, Journal of Wildlife Management (33) 212-214
The neck plumage method, a new technique for separating immature from adult Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in the hand, was evaluated by comparison with the notched tail feather and cloacal examination methods. Two (1.4 percent) of 141 geese examined were misaged, resulting in a 6 percent error in the immature-adult...

Compilation of hydrologic data, Green Creek, Brazos River basin, Texas, 1966
Trigg Twichell
1969, Report
In 1950 the U. S. Soil Conservation Service began construction of floodwater-retarding structures in Texas under authorities granted by the Congress. These authorities provide, where economically feasible, that the program be applied to tributary watersheds of 240,000 acres or less. The usual practice has been to control flood runoff from...
