In cooperation with the United States Departmentt of Agriculture Agricultural Research AdministrationThis is the second of a series of annual studies being conducted to determine the types of farm organization and farm practices consistent with a stable and profitable farm economy, Detailed records of organization and operations in 1949 were taken from cooperating growers in the Matanuska Valley and in the Fairbanks area of the Tanana Valley. Information was secured on the extent of farming in the Anchorage area and on the Kenai peninsula.Summary -- Introduction-- Minor Production Areas: Kenai Peninsula; Anchorage Area; Fairbanks Area: Land Use, Livestock, Farm Equipment and Buildings, Crop Yields -- The Matanuska Valley: The Farm Operator and His Family; Tenure, Land Use: Size of Farm, Cropland Use; Livestock Organization; Power and Equipment; Farm Buildings; Crop Yields; Income and Expenses -- Types of Farming: Dairy Farming: Organization, Annual Labor Needs on Dairy Farms, Grain: Input and Practices, Hay and Silage: Inputs and Practices, Economic Returns to Dairy Farmers -- Potato Farming: Organization, Annual Labor Needs on Potato Farms, The Potato Enterprise: Inputs and Practices, Economic Returns to Potato Farmers -- Potato-Vegetable Farming: Organization, Annual Labor Needs on Potato-Vegetable Farms, Economic Returns to Potato Farmers -- Potato-Vegetable Farming: Organization, annual Labor Needs on Potato-Vegetable Farms, Economic Returns to Potato-Vegetable Farmers -- Poultry Farmin

South End Mound complex

46 p. : ill., maps ; 26 cm.Includes bibliographical references (p. 44-46)."This volume presents results of archaeological excavations of two prehistoric burial mounds on St. Catherines Island, Georgia. South End Mound I is an Irene period mortuary site, initially excavated by C.B. Moore during the winter of 1896-1897. Although Moore adequately described his investigations in a subsequent publication, he retained only six complete ceramic vessels for later analysis. These vessels have been reexamined and are discussed here. None of the skeletal materials excavated by Moore, to our knowledge, was saved for later analysis. Field crews from the American Museum of Natural History recently reexcavated parts of this site, finding evidence that at least some of the primary human burials previously exposed by Moore remain intact beneath the backdirt of South End Mound I. Further investigation might be fruitful. South End Mound II, a previously unexplored mortuary site, was discovered not far from Moore's excavations. This St. Catherines/Savannah period burial mound, extensively excavated by the American Museum of Natural History, had a central pit containing two cremations and a mass grave containing at least 15 individuals. Grave goods included a perforated copper sheet, worked galena, a river otter mandible, and a polished stone pendant. Prehistoric copper has rarely been reported from archaeological contexts from this area and, to our knowledge, this is the first occurrence of galena in coastal Georgia. Mound construction methods resemble those employed at Johns and Marys mounds, two roughly contemporary mortuary sites on St. Catherines Island"--P. 4

Empirical Legal Studies Before 1940: A Bibliographic Essay

The modern empirical legal studies movement has well-known antecedents in the law and society and law and economics traditions of the latter half of the 20th century. Less well known is the body of empirical research on legal phenomena from the period prior to World War II. This paper is an extensive bibliographic essay that surveys the English language empirical legal research from approximately 1940 and earlier. The essay is arranged around the themes in the research: criminal justice, civil justice (general studies of civil litigation, auto accident litigation and compensation, divorce, small claims, jurisdiction and procedure, civil juries), debt and bankruptcy, banking, appellate courts, legal needs, legal profession (including legal education), and judicial staffing and selection. Accompanying the essay is an extensive bibliography of research articles, books, and reports
