Surface waters of Illinois River basin in Arkansas and Oklahoma
L.L. Laine
1959, Open-File Report 59-76
The estimated runoff from the Illinois River basin of 1,660 square miles has averaged 1,160,000 acre-feet per year during the water years 1938-56, equivalent to an average annual runoff depth of 13.1 inches. About 47 percent of the streamflow is contributed from drainage in Arkansas, where an average of 550,000...

A compilation of chemical quality data for ground and surface waters in Utah
John G. Connor, C.G. Mitchell
1958, Technical Publication 10
An accelerated use of water resulting from a growing population, industrial expansion, and irrigation has brought into focus the importance of the quality as well as the quantity of this natural resource in Utah. As new demands are made on the existing supply, a search goes on for new sources...
Birds and Dutch elm disease control
J.B. DeWitt
1958, Arborist's News (24) 25-29
Brief, factual review of information on effect of DDT and other insecticides on birds. One program for control of elm disease caused 22% decrease in number of adult birds and 56% mortality of nestlings. Quail fed 3 oz. of DDT per ton of food had 16% reduction in young...
A procedure for removing the effect of response bias errors from waterfowl hunter questionnaire responses
E. L. Atwood
1958, Biometrics (14) 132-146
Response bias errors are studied by comparing questionnaire responses from waterfowl hunters using four large public hunting areas with actual hunting data from these areas during two hunting seasons. To the extent that the data permit, the sources of the error in the responses were studied and the contribution...
