Circular No. 98 - Insects In Relation To Alfalfa-Seed Production, Charles J. Sorenson

Various insect pests have been suspected of causing the unsatisfactory alfalfa-seed yields that have been obtained in Utah during recent years. No specific information was at hand giving the amount and nature of the damage which these insects were suspected of doing.

Circular No. 69 - Clean Milk And Its Production, E. G. Carter

UAES Circulars

Successful dairy farming is fast growing into an exacting profession, and in order to be successful the dairy farmer must not only recognize the value of good clean milk but must know how to produce it as well. Good milk, good butter, and good cheese are acknowledged to be in great demand, and each brings fair financial returns.

Since the beginning of the dairy industry one of the big difficulties has been that of obtaining clean milk and cream. By applying the best scientific methods in the manufacture of dairy products the ill effect of impure milk can be partly …

Circular No. 58 - Potato Production In Utah, George Stewart

UAES Circulars

Potatoes were the first crop planted in Utah. In July 1847, the Mormon pioneers turned the water from City Creek over the parched land near what is now the center of Salt Lake City. The ground was then broken and sown at once to potatoes. Only a small yield was obtained but this helped materially to eke out the meagre food supply until the harvest of 1848. During the several hard years that followed potatoes were among the most important foods for the pioneer settlers. Since then they have held a prominent place in the agriculture of the state.

Circular No. 34 - Sugar-Beet Production In Utah, F. S. Harris, N. I. Butt

UAES Circulars

Utah is one of the pioneers in the beet-sugar industry. The first sugar factory was brought into the State in 1852, but, like all the early attempts to produce sugar from beets in the United States, the enterprise was unsuccessful. In 1891 a factory was erected at Lehi when there were less than a half a dozen factories in the United States. From this time on Utah has been one of the few states of the Union important in the manufacture of beet sugar. Since soil, climate, irrigation, and labor conditions are favorable to the crop, it is probable that …
