The irrigation investigations of the Utah Experiment Station w re instituted in 1901; and have been continued since that year. The results promise to be of the highest importance in the establishment. of correct practices in the use of water on the farms.
Bulletin No. 85 - Pear-Blight, W. N. Hutt
Bulletin No. 85 - Pear-Blight, W. N. Hutt
UAES Bulletins
This bulletin makes no claim to originality of method. It is simply a brief resume of the history and nature of pear-blight, together with the treatment of the disease that we have found to be most successful, during the last two years, at this Experiment Station. The bulletin is published in reply to numerous letters from many parts of the State asking for information regarding the blight of the pear trees, and methods of controlling it.

Bulletin No. 84 - The Grain Smuts, Lewis A. Merrill, B. F. Eliason
UAES Bulletins
Farmers are urged to treat all their seed grain with Formalin, during the coming spring, and thus save to the state, next year, thousands of dollars now lost by smut-infested grain.
Formalin can be purchased at any drug store for about seventy-five cents per pound. Pour one pound of Formalin in fifty gallons of water and completely submerge the seed grain, which is loosely held in burlap sacks, for ten minutes. Dry the seed and it is ready for use.
Bulletin No. 83 - Pruning Of Tree And Bush Fruits, W. N. Hutt
Bulletin No. 83 - Pruning Of Tree And Bush Fruits, W. N. Hutt
UAES Bulletins
"How shall we prune" is a question probably more frequently asked than any other in the whole range of horticulture. To answer it brings forth a second question, viz., "Why do we prune?" Pruning is a means to an end. So then to prune intelligently and therefore successfully, there should be in the mind of the operator some definite purpose. Too often pruning is simply a cutting of the tree without any idea as to the final purpose such cutting is to serve. Such pruning invariably does harm instead of good, and has ruined countless trees. Since the ultimate purpose …
Bulletin No. 88 - The Relation Of Smelter Smoke To Utah Agriculture, John A. Widtsoe
Bulletin No. 88 - The Relation Of Smelter Smoke To Utah Agriculture, John A. Widtsoe
UAES Bulletins
Utah's position among the great commonwealths depends upon the degree of development of the agricultural industry of the State. As a producer of wealth, however, the mining industry exceeds agriculture. The total annual value of Utah farm products is about $17,000,000.00, while the total output from the mines is valued at $34,000,000.00. The operation of the mines, reduction mills and smelters necessitates the employment of large numbers of people, who swell the population of the State, and consume a large part of its agricultural products. Utah, which is an inland State, possessing as yet few large manufacturing enterprises, finds the …
Bulletin No. 79 - Process Butter: A Dairy Fraud, R. W. Clark, John A. Crockett
Bulletin No. 79 - Process Butter: A Dairy Fraud, R. W. Clark, John A. Crockett
UAES Bulletins
A fraud which threatens to work great injury to the dairy interests of Utah, has made its appearance. It is a churning process by which the yield of butter can be abnormally increased by incorporating a large quantity of water and casein. A report has reached the Experiment Station to the effect that the promoters of this churning process are successfully enlisting the interest of Utah farmers and are selling county rights at fabulous prices.
This bulletin is issued only as a word of warning to those who would be entrapped. It is not probable that butter made according to …

Bulletin No. 80 - Irrigation Investigations In 1901, John A. Widtsoe
UAES Bulletins
The fact that the ancient and, to arid countries, indispensible art of irrigation lacks a scientific basis, is the justification of the decision taken two years ago by the officers of the Utah Experiment Station, to make irrigation the central subject of their investigations.

Bulletin No. 78 - Experiments In Fattening Lambs, F. B. Linfield
UAES Bulletins
Sheep raising is among the most important agricultural industries of the state. Unlike the conditions in eastern states, the sheep industry of Utah is only indirectly associated with the farm. While the sheep owner generally lives on his farm, his sheep are kept on the public range and moved from place to place as feed and weather may make necessary. To be handled successfully on the range, sheep must be herded in large flocks. Under favorable conditions the expense account is comparatively light and returns substantial.
Bulletin No. 77 - Horse Feeding, Lewis A. Merrill
Bulletin No. 77 - Horse Feeding, Lewis A. Merrill
UAES Bulletins
Previous experiments reported by this Station have shown the value of lucern, the principal forage crop of this section, when fed to cattle, sheep and hogs. The main part of this bulletin is devoted to the value of lucern when fed to horses, though a brief review of the work previously done at this Station in connection with the subject of horse-feeding is included. There has been, and is, some prejudice existing against lucern forming a part or all of the ration of horses, not only in the East, where the value of this crop is not yet fully appreciated, …
Bulletin No. 76 - Forcing Lettuce, C. P. Close
Bulletin No. 76 - Forcing Lettuce, C. P. Close
UAES Bulletins
The winter growing of lettuce is not yet practiced in Utah. There is a good demand for lettuce in Salt Lake City, Ogden, and in some of the smaller towns during the winter, but this demand is supplied by the California grown product. It is yet to be determined whether or not lettuce can be grown profitably under glass in this State. The recent high prices of the winter product indicate that the forcing of a moderate amount of lettuce can be done with profit.
In the season of 1899-1900, the Experiment Station began a series of experiments with lettuce …
Bulletin No. 75 - Arid Farming Or Dry Farming, John A. Widtsoe, Lewis A. Merrill
Bulletin No. 75 - Arid Farming Or Dry Farming, John A. Widtsoe, Lewis A. Merrill
UAES Bulletins
There are in Utah many lands that will not, for many years to come, be brought under irrigation; and there are many others that probably will never be irrigated. These are usually high-lying lands, often far from large streams, to irrigate which, would require the construction of exceptionally costly reservoirs, dams, and canals. Many Utah valleys are so far removed from the water supply of the State that it is improbable that water will be carried past other thirsting lands to these outlying places. The building of irrigation works is a venture in which profits and losses are considered; and …
Bulletin No. 74 - Lead Ore In Sugar Beet Pulp, John A. Widtsoe, Lewis A. Merrill
Bulletin No. 74 - Lead Ore In Sugar Beet Pulp, John A. Widtsoe, Lewis A. Merrill
UAES Bulletins
The recent great development of the beet sugar industry in the State of Utah, has made the matter of utilizing the sugar beet pulp an important question for Utah farmers. That beet pulp has a high feeding value, when fed in proper combinations, has been shown conclusively since the establishment of the first beet sugar factory in the State, ten years ago. The experience of other states, and of the beet sugar producing countries of Europe, has likewise demonstrated that beet pulp may be used profitably in the feeding of farm animals. It is doubtlessly true that much is yet …

UAES Bulletins
No bulletins have heretofore been issued by the Dairy department of this Station on the special question of the manufacture of dairy products. The main work of the Dairy department has been with the farm end of the dairy problem; viz: the production of milk. This includes the breeding, feeding and management of cows, the raising and developing of the young stock, and the economic disposal of the by-products of the dairy. From information gathered during my first year at the College it was apparent that this foundation work should have first attention. At this time but six to eight …

Bulletin No. 72 - A Soil Survey In Salt Lake Valley, Utah, Frank D. Gardner, John Stewart
UAES Bulletins
Beginning in July, 1899, four months were spent in a thorough and detailed study of that portion of the Salt Lake Valley lying west of the Jordan River, the object being to map the soils with reference to their character and to the extent of, and damage from, "alkali" and seepage waters. The soils were classified according to their texture, and the waters examined with reference to their quality for irrigation purposes. The soils were further studied with reference to their "alkali" content and its effect in varying amounts upon the crops and vegetation. The methods of irrigation were looked …

Bulletin No. 71 - Carrying Capacities Of Irrigation Canals, Samuel Fortier
UAES Bulletins
During the summer of 1897 the writer was enabled to make, with the help of his assistants, T. H. Humpherys, A. P. Stover, and W. D. Beers, a number of experiments on the carrying capacities of irrigation ditches and canals. The funds necessary to carry on these investigations were provided by the U. S. Geological Survey and the Agricultural Experiment Station of Utah. Shortly after the field work was completed the writer resigned his position with the College to accept that of chief engineer and superintendent of the Ogden Water Works and the Bear River Canal System, and his time …

Bulletin No. 70 - Experiments In Pork Production, Luther Foster, Lewis A. Merrill
UAES Bulletins
Pig raising in Utah has not as a rule been considered a profitable branch of the live stock industry, especially as usually practiced on the farm, and up to within the past few years the growing of more pork than was used at home was the exception, but since creameries and cheese factories have come into existence, creating a large by-product of skim milk and whey, cheap and valuable. pig foods, when properly used, the business has made a healthy growth.

Bulletin No. 69 - The Golden Vine Field Pea: Its Chemical Composition And Forage Value, John Stewart
UAES Bulletins
For some time past the Division of Agrostology has been conducting investigations in various parts of the United States with a view to the preservation of our native grasses, the introduction of new varieties, and the improvement of the ranges. The investigation in Texas, where the once fine ranges have been seriously injured or totally destroyed on account of the greed and carelessness of stockmen, is an important one.
In his last report, the Secretary of Agriculture recommends that provisions be made for renting the public lands, suitable for grazing purposes, to stockmen and sheepmen for a number of years. …

Bulletin No. 66 - Corn Experiments, Luther Foster, Lewis A. Merrill
UAES Bulletins
A number of varieties of flint and dent corns have been successfully grown at the Experiment Station for the past ten years. A sufficiently large number of kinds have been under test to prove beyond question that all of the best flint varieties, the smaller dents and the semi-dents will fully mature in the locality of the Experiment Station, the extreme northern portion of the State; but the climatic conditions cannot be considered as especially favorable to corn growing, the seasons being rather too short and the general temperature too low for the medium and larger dents to be successfully …

Bulletin No. 63 - Sugar Beets In Sanpete And Sevier Counties, Luther Foster
UAES Bulletins
The co-operative experiments in sugar beet culture for the past season were confined to the farmers of Sanpete and Sevier counties. They were carried on in conjunction with an organization formed by the citizens of the two counties and known as the Sanpete-Sevier Sugar Company. This association was organized at a delegate convention, held at Gunnison Feb. 17, 1899, which was composed of the representatives from all of the principal settlements in the two counties. Bishop Christian A. Madsen, the chief promoter of the movement was chosen president of the company, Mr. C. A. Short secretary, and Mr. Thomas Kearnes, …

These experiments, as originally planed, had for their object the determination of the best time to cut alfalfa in order to secure the most profitable annual yield, its chemical composition, digestibility and the results of feeding trials being considered. A comparison of the yield and feeding value of the first, second and third crops was also made a part of the investigation, and as with the different cuttings, the composition and digestibility formed a part of the work. In conducting this experiment to determine the comparative feeding value of the various cuttings and of the different crops of alfalfa, some …

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. 55 - Orchard Pests, U. P. Hendrick
UAES Bulletins
While great advancement is being made in knowledge and treatment of orchard pests, yet the fruit growers of Utah still need and ask for information regarding the common pests found in their orchards. To supply this need is what this Bulletin attempts to do--to bring together in brief and practical form the present knowledge of the common orchard pests of Utah.

Bulletin No. 53 - Utah Sugar Beets (1897), John A. Widtsoe
UAES Bulletins
Although the success of the Utah Sugar Co. has proved that sugar beets can be raised profitably in Utah, the farmer of the State, as well as others who are interested in the erection of sugar factories, desire a more accurate knowledge of the possibilities of the sugar beet in the various parts of the State, than can be obtained from isolated and uncontrolled tests. The Utah Experiment Station carried on, therefore, during the season of 1897, a co-operative sugar beet experiment with the farmers of Utah.

Bulletin No. 46 - Earthen Dams, Samuel Fortier
UAES Bulletins
According to the last census, 92 1/2 per cent of the Utah farms are irrigated. The advancement of agriculture in this State mainly depends upon the water, the available supply of which, in many of the older settled localities of the State, is already wholly utilized during the irrigation period. The future reclamation of new lands in such localities must, therefore, wait on the development of new sources of supply from storage reservoirs, sub-surface supplies, or from a more economical use of the summer flow of the available streams.
From estimates and measurements made by the hydrographers. of the United …

Bulletin No. 35 - Steer Feeding, A. A. Mills
UAES Bulletins
The object of this Bulletin is to give and discuss the results of experiments, herein detailed, in regard to the system, prevalent here, "of keeping cattle on hay and other coarse foods during the winter, then feeding grain for a few weeks in the spring just previous to selling. All over the inter-mountain region very little grain is fed, and what little is used is fed with the idea that an animal which has been kept poorly can be filled up with profit in a very short period, just before selling. The idea was to test these questions, and to …
