Satellites help prairie research
By ROB HAGAN
Staff Writer
Skies were not cloudy the day a satellite photographed the Kansas prairie in search of evidence of alien life.
A project using infrared photographs helps to find rangeland suitable for antelope, Edward Martino, project coor-
director with Mt. Sinai Remote Sensing Program, said recently.
The rangeland in the photos shows up as red spots on a brown background. The grass is not dark.
The researchers used the photographs to help plot the rangeland with few crops on it that is necessary for antelope's survival. The study was conducted with the Kansas Fish and Game Commission.
"A project like this was tried before," he said. "About 100 antelope were let loose in western Kansas in 1965. Now that region has 1,000 to 2,000 antelope."
The researchers suggested in August that the game commission put 63 antelope in the Flint Hills area, and 37 antelope in western Kansas. Martino said.
For example, a new research project initiated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture in 1976 uses serial photographs of growth of a notions weed called musk thistle.
The KARS program was established in 1972 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to assist public agencies in training using aerial and satellite photography.
LANDSAT, the name of the satellite that helps make the project possible, orbites 875 miles above the earth's surface and sends a picture of this region to a station in South Dakota every 18 days. The pictures then are mailed to the University of Kansas.
Musk thistle can grow almost anywhere and has half-inch long needles on its stem. If not controlled, the thistle will take over a garden, slowly killing grass used for cattle grazing.
The only way to kill the thistle is to dig it out by the roots so it won't grow back. If part of the root remains the thistle will grow back.
The photographs from planes and
sites have many environmental uses.
Martins, L.
"Each musk thistle plant can produce
10,000 seeds to seed a farm. "Martinko said, 'Any one of us can form a company for eight days and then start a year.'"
The widespread growth of the thistle is like a dandelion patch, Martinko said.
"If your neighbor doesn't control his dandelion patch then you will probably have灾后种草."
"The musk thistle continues to be a major problem even with all the research done on it."
Martinko was optimistic about the use of satellite and aerial photography in the
"KARS has a bright future," Martinok said. "We'll see an increase in satellite photography in a variety of natural resource environments, and will be familiar with it, they will want to use it."
Wint Winter, R-Ottawa and chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, said his committee had not formed an opinion on the merits of restoring increases to the outreach and family practice programs.
VON ENDE SAID the new program, the health education centers, was an example of one that would attract doctors and also already practicing medicine in Kansas.
Another program seeking funds to expand
the affiliated practice practice residency
procedures.
The Regents' requests for the programs in 1979 ask the legislature for an appropriation of $10,000 to be used for the programs.
From page one
The affiliated family practice programs allow second- and third-year medical residents a chance to train in special areas and to practice in surrounding communities.
A request by the Regents to get funds for a fourth program was not included in the report.
AUTHORIZATION FOR setting up four programs was given by the 1977 legislative session. However, funding was appalled as a result of the development of only three programs in 1978.
Two attempts have been made to set up residency training programs. A residency program was proposed for the program.
Expansion . . .
The second proposed site for a program, Salina, could get AMA approval later this spring, Joseph Meek, outreach director, said recently.
proval of the American Medical Association this summer.
WINTER SAID there was not enough commitment by communities to justify
Garden City failed in a bid to win AMA approval November because of a lack of upticks and the lack of confidence.
Moore and Harris are currently in a Denver jail fighting extradition procedures that would release them to Lawrence authorities.
Avery remains in jail in lieu of $5,000 bond as a material witness.
The governor's recommendation did include funding increases to establish the second year of the two established residency programs and one new program.
"Everyone's moving ahead as fast as they are, with them, (family) practice programs."
Winter said it probably would be next

No peace to the wicked! There are two places in The Bible that tell of peace among the nations when they shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and their spears into pruning sheds. And the same is practiced in the same the same are practically the same. The following quote is from Isaiah:
Are you and I who claim to be Christian and hawkendown are涌 up to that High Place, or, are we flowing downward from the High Place? What are we supposed to proclaim peace for ourselves and all others as we can. Jesus Christ took a whip of cords and lashed out at the hypocrisy and profane wretches in The Temple, and later his sons and friends wounded with "written of Him: 'The Seal of Thine House hath eaten me up.'"
of a mountain in the top of the mountains. All nations shall flow unto that High Place to be placed God's way in order to walk in His paths. It is then that The Lord will judge among the nations and bring peace.
what is "eating us? The question is told of a goat being shipped by express; the agent sent his porter to find out where it was to go, who returned and reported: 'Dat dog goet et up where it givne' it. It is to be teared that many of us so loved him.' The word for love is also used; we ever had one! Our zeal for the world, the flesh, and the death has consumed us, and our love for money, pleasure, sport, etc. has caused us to lower and degrade the House of God, His teachings and His paths. How then can we expect peace? 'If it seems you unto you to serve The Lord,' will we expect? Choose ye this day whom you will serve. is also Scripture.
