Bulletin No. 289 - Business Analysis Of Farms In Utah County, Utah, Walter U. Fuhriman, W. Preston Thomas

UAES Bulletins

Project 179 of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station - "A Study of the Agricultural Resources of Utah and their Utilization" - was set up in April 1936 as a state-wide project. The object of this project was to measure by areas the basic agricultural resources of the state and to translate the information collected into a program of more efficient use. The more specific objectives were: (1) classification of agricultural lands of Utah according to present and potential productivity and use; (2) determination of the net productive area of agricultural lands and water supply now available, or which may be …

Bulletin No. 290 - Phosphate In Utah, J. Stewart Williams

UAES Bulletins

Agitation for the development of the western phosphate field as part of the national program of conservation and economic rehabilitation has, in the last three years, focused public attention on the phosphate reserves of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Utah. In every conference or discussion on this subject, the minds of Utah's representatives have naturally turned to the question, "What is Utah's share in this great natural resource?" Obviously nature pays no heed to political boundaries, and neither does the prosperity of Utah's citizens depend solely upon that which is circumscribed within the state's boundaries. Nonetheless, it is necessary for Utahns …

Bulletin No. 288 - Draingage And Irrigation, Soil, Economic, And Social Conditions, Delta Area, Utah Division 4: Social Conditions, Joseph A. Geddes, Carmen D. Frederickson, Eldred C. Bergeson

UAES Bulletins

This study is a part of a more comprehensive one which was organized in 1928 for the purpose of ascertaining what conditions existed in bonded irrigation and drainage districts which were unable to. liquidate obligations incurred.

The first such area to be studied was the Delta Area in Millard County. This area was selected for this study because of the pressing need for more detailed and wider information than was available to either the farmers or the bondholders and because available facts based on careful study might aid in achieving fairer settlements. These data might also assist other areas in …

Bulletin No. 287 - Tests Of Corn Varieties And Hybrids In Utah, R. W. Woodward, D. C. Tingey, R. J. Evans

UAES Bulletins

The corn acreage in Utah is only about half that planted in barley and approximately one-fourth that sown to spring wheat. During the period 1910-30 this acreage was about equally divided into corn for grain, corn for silage, and corn fed to livestock in the field (table 1) . Since 1930 there has been a gradual increase in the acreage of corn grown for silage with the exception of the years 1936 and 1937.

The Rise And Development Of The Megagametophyte In Yucca Angustissima Engelmann, Antone W. Nisson

Theses and Dissertations

The studies involved in this investigation are based upon data and materials secured in the sandy areas of Washington and Iron Counties in southern Utah. The regions in which Yucca angustissima is found have a scant vegetation, are dry, sandy to sandy loam, well-drained, and with an elevation of from 2500 to 5000 feet. Watkins (1937) worked out a very extensive report of the megagametophyte development of Yucca rupicola. He begins with the four megaspore stage, and shows next the disintegration of the three micropylar megaspores. He reported that the chalazal megaspore forms eight free nuclei, by three successive divisions, …

Bulletin No. 286 - Some Trends In Utah's Agriculture, Walter U. Fuhriman

UAES Bulletins

During the last two decades agriculture has been subjected to many strains and stresses- social, economic, physical, and biological. Infestations of noxious weeds and insect pests have in some instances necessitated changes in crops grown and in farming practices. Changes in precipitation have induced alternate expansion and contraction of cultivated acreage in certain areas. Improved machinery has reduced the demand for farm labor, caused shifts in crops grown and in farm population. Changes in dietary habits have increased the demand for some farm commodities and decreased the demand for others, while wide fluctuations in farm prices have wrought rapid changes …

A Preliminary Study Of The Vegetative Cover In Spanish Fork Canyon, Utah, Ben S. Markham

Theses and Dissertations

Spanish Fork Canyon is located in central Utah and is part of the Wasatch Mountain range. Since the coming of the white man to this section of country it has been used as a trail. The canyon provides summer range for stock as well as a watershed. Plant densities were determined by the point observation method using series of one-hundred square foot plots. Three areas which have been subject to different grazing uses were studied. The association changes in the canyon are the replacement of sage by slender wheatgrass on the shallow soils and the disclimax condition resulting from over-grazing …
