The article discusses the acetylene reduction in relaxation to levels of phosphate and fixed nitrogen in Green Bay. This paper reports data collected during the summer of 1971 in the southern part of Green Bay of Lake Michigan. This study undertook to characterize acetylene reduction and nutrient levels throughout the summer. Water samples were collected. Phytoplankton characteristically increase rapidly in the spring. A high soluble phosphate concentration in the water preceded all major increases in the population of heterocystous, nitrogen-fixing blue-green algae.

In this article, the application of physiography and geography to public business is illustrated by many features of the boundary suit between the States of Michigan and Wisconsin which was acted upon by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1926. The case demonstrates how lawyers, geographers, engineers, legislators, soldiers, Indian guides and pilots and members of other occupations and professions can work together. It shows some of the simple uses of maps. It reveals the elementary nature of what constitutes material evidence in the highest judicial body.

The article focuses on the influence of lake Michigan upon its opposite shores. Lake Michigan influences air temperatures--especially the maximum and minimum temperatures--for some twenty miles inland from its eastern shore.The shore counties receive from ten to twenty inches more snowfall than the interior counties, and considerably more than the Wisconsin shore counties receive. On the Michigan side it is mainly a matter of climate, resulting in a high development of fruit growing and of summer resorts. On the Wisconsin side neither of these developments has taken place, but the lake has induced a very marked concentration of population, wealth, industry, and commerce
