Circular No. 94 - Control And Eradication Of Bang's Abortion Disease, D. E. Madsen, W. H. Hendricks
Circular No. 94 - Control And Eradication Of Bang's Abortion Disease, D. E. Madsen, W. H. Hendricks
UAES Circulars
The seriousness of Bang's abortion disease in Utah has made it necessary to promote more definite plans toward its control and eradication. The economic losses encountered are brought about not only through the loss of the calves but by the lessened milk production and lessened sale value of the animals themselves. Breeding efficiency is lower and such cows are more subject to udder infections. Many states now require that cattle shipped into them be negative to the abortion test; indications are that more states will adopt similar regulations. The passage of such regulation by some states would seriously interfere with …
Circular No. 85 - Chlorosis Yellowing Of Plants: Cause And Control, F. B. Wann
Circular No. 85 - Chlorosis Yellowing Of Plants: Cause And Control, F. B. Wann
UAES Circulars
Chlorosis is a disease of plants, the characteristic symptom of which is the yellowing of the leaves. The disease is of sporadic but widespread distribution in Utah and the aggregate losses caused by it are undoubtedly greater than those of any other one disease. Not only are many plants killed, or weakened to such an extent that only inferior crops are produced, but many areas of land which might otherwise support profitable orchards have been abandoned or planted to other crops because of the disease.

Circular No. 71 - Weeds: Losses, Agencies In Distribution, Nature, And Control, William Peterson, D. C. Tingey
UAES Circulars
There are in Utah a number of weeds considered to be unusually persistent and difficult to eradicate once they have become established. The most common in this group are wild morning glory, whitetop, Canada thistle, perennial sow thistle, and Russian knapweed, the last being one of comparatively recent introduction. The weeds in this group are quite generally feared and much talked of by farmers. They are feared because, if allowed to persist, they usually take possession of the soil and hinder the growth of farm crops. The discouraging fact about these weeds is their spread. Old infested areas are increasing …

Circular No. 59 - Control Of Stinking Smut Of Wheat With Copper Carbonate, B. L. Richards, A. F. Bracken
UAES Circulars
Stinking smut or bunt of wheat is an ever-present and destructive disease in the wheat fields of Utah. During the past season (1925) this disease was especially prevalent, causing losses in certain fields of from 25 to 50 per cent, not counting the loss to the grower in reduced grade of grain. In the threshing of smutty wheat there is also the risk of loss from smut explosion. Almost every season cases of this sort are reported. In addition of all of the wheat tested by the U. S. Grain Inspector at Logan for Northern Utah and Southern Idaho 30 …
Circular No. 10 - The Control Of The Alfalfa Weevil, E. G. Titus
Circular No. 10 - The Control Of The Alfalfa Weevil, E. G. Titus
UAES Circulars
During the work with the alfalfa \weevil throughout several very different seasons and in different regions, of the State, a number of methods of control have been developed that bid fair to be of service in combating this insect. The prospect for the alfalfa grower in the infested area looks more hopeful each year. It is the purpose of this circular to give a brief account of the alfalfa weevil, its present distribution, and the principal methods that appear to be of value in its control.
