Story of Freer, Texas: the historical background for the educational system
No full textIt has been the purpose of the author in the preparation of this thesis to create within the minds of the children a love for their community and to stimulate a desire to study carefully and thoughtfully its history. The history of Freer, with its sacrifices and remarkable achievements, offers splendid opportunity for the teaching of natural history and geography. Children very soon receive the lesson that brave hearts, through self-denial and diligence, overcome discouragements and conquer the adversities of nature

Directions of U.S. Farm Programmes under a Freer Trade Environment
No full textFor the new round of WTO multilateral trade liberalisation negotiations to be successful, the world will need to be more enthusiastic and flexible about opening markets. Partisans will need to submerge their self-interests, and the U.S. will need to take the initiative for more open markets. This paper makes the case that only modest changes in the U.S. domestic grain, oilseed, and cotton programmes are needed for compatibility with global free trade. The Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform (FAIR) Act of 1996 and related policy changes in the 1990s brought fundamental reforms compatible with freer domestic and foreign markets. Chief among these were a shift from coupled deficiency payments to decoupled direct payments, an end to supply management, and less engagement of government in commodity stock accumulation and export subsidies. Converting commodity price support to recourse loans while ending all but administrative cost subsidies to crop insurance would go far to liberalise grain, oilseed, and cotton policies. Unilateral termination of commodity programmes including direct payments totalling 42 percent of net cash farm income in year 2000 would appear to be traumatic to producers. However, reduction of direct payments could be offset (for farm income) by rising farm commodity prices and receipts resulting from (1) less farm output attending lower loan rates and crop insurance subsidies, and (2) world farm commodity price-enhancement from freer global trade.

No full textNew measurement and data analysis technologies promise to help us to better understand the processes that control the hydrological cycle, and to improve our ability to set up environmental models. New measurements also pose new challenges in data assimilation, interpretation, and analysis. This session will showcase new technologies and their application to hydrology. The aim is to obtain an up-to-date and visionary picture of what the future will be in terms of data assimilation, data availability and new approaches to hydrological modelling.
This symposium will bring together 6 invited speakers with an established experience in new tools for hydrological measurement, data assimilation and modelling.
