Bulletin No. 361 - How Much Barley For Turkeys, C. I. Draper

UAES Bulletins

During recent years high energy turkey diets containing com as the sole source of ground grain have been fed extensively. Corn has been used as the grain part of the mash because of its high energy, low fiber qualities, and because its deficiencies in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals have been determined by research. Supplements to overcome these deficiencies have been added to high energy corn diets. Excellent results have been obtained when adequate supplementation of vitamins, amino acids, and minerals were made.

In this area frequent inquiries are made as to the possibilities of substituting barley for part or …

Bulletin No. 293 - Velvon: A New Smooth-Awned Barley, R. W. Woodward, D. C. Tingey

UAES Bulletins

Velvon, a new barley variety with smooth awns, with relatively stiff straw, and with a high degree of resistance to covered smut was developed at the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station through the cooperative efforts of the Station and the Division of Cereal Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture. This new variety resulted as a hybrid strain from a cross made in 1930 for the purpose of improving straw strength and the texture of awns.

Bulletin No. 261 - Barley Varietal Tests In Utah, R. W. Woodward, D. C. Tingey

UAES Bulletins

In 1929 approximately one-fourth of the farmers of Utah were growing barley, with an average of 6.3 acres to the farm. Cache, Sanpete, Sevier, and Utah Counties each produced over 100,000 bushels. According to the United States Fifteenth Census Report (1930), Davis, Millard, Morgan, Rich, Salt Lake, and Weber Counties each produced from 40,000 to 70,000 bushels.

Bulletin No. 178 - The Irrigation Of Barley, F. S. Harris, D. W. Pittman

UAES Bulletins

The proper use of irrigation water is one of the most important problems of every comnunity and of every farmer in an irrigated district. The irrigation farmer has largely under his control one of the most important factors in determining the yield and quality of his crops and one over which all other farmers have little control at all. On the other hand, in an arid district there is generally less available irrigation water than is needed to give the optimum amount to all the land, or if one region receives an excess there is generally an accumulation of alkali …

Bulletin No. 56 - Field Experiments With Wheat, Oats, And Barley, Lewis A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

The testing of varieties is by no means the most important work of the Station. It, however, has its value in bringing into the State [Utah], and acclimating, new varieties that may be suited to our conditions better than any now grown. The results reached in these tests ought to receive the careful attention of our farmers, because success in raising cereals depends upon securing the varieties best suited to our purpose, and in growing those in greatest demand.

The experiments recorded in the following pages give the results of variety tests with wheat, oats and barley, and, in addition, …

Bulletin No. 34 - Relative Value Of Wheat, Peas, Corn And Barley In The Production Of Pork, A. A. Mills

UAES Bulletins

This bulletin treats of the use of wheat, peas, corn, and barley when mixed with bran and fed to pigs, the idea being to see if, by using one-half bran, the above grains could not be fed with profit, and also to test the relative value of the mixtures.
