Circular No. 48 - Rural Credits In Utah, E. B. Brossard
Circular No. 48 - Rural Credits In Utah, E. B. Brossard
UAES Circulars
The subject of rural credits is of interest to farmers, bankers, investors, and all others concerned about public welfare. This circular is written for the purpose of giving general information about agricultural credit conditions existing at the present time, with special reference to mortgage credit in Utah and the Federal Farm Loan System as now amended. The passage of the Federal Intermediate Credits Act, approved March 4, 1923 makes this an opportune time to check up on the situation.
Bulletin No. 187 - Irrigation Experiments With Potatoes, F. S. Harris, D. W. Pittman
Bulletin No. 187 - Irrigation Experiments With Potatoes, F. S. Harris, D. W. Pittman
UAES Bulletins
In a previous bulletin of this station are given the results of an experiment on different irrigation treatments of potatoes continued for five years. In view of the importance of the potato crop and of the importance of having it properly irrigated it was considered advisable to continue the experiment, with certain modifications based on experience, for a further period of five years. This total period of ten years should include most of the climatic variations which are common in this locality, and by eliminating the more unsatisfactory irrigation systems a closer approximation to the best system should be found. …
Bulletin No. 186 - Irrigation Experiments With Sugar Beets, F. S. Harris, D. W. Pittman
Bulletin No. 186 - Irrigation Experiments With Sugar Beets, F. S. Harris, D. W. Pittman
UAES Bulletins
A previous bulletin of this station gives the results of an experiment on the irrigation of sugar-beets continuing for five years. Since this experiment was deemed of sufficient importance to merit our best attention and since the climatic conditions which largely determine what is the best irrigation practice may not for so short a period properly represent the average of the community, it was thought advisable to continue the experiment, with certain modifications, for an additional five years. This bulletin reports the results of these last 5-years' work together with such general conclusions as can be drawn from the entire …
Bulletin No. 185 - The Influence Of Nitrogen In Soil On Azofication, J. E. Greaves, D. H. Nelson
Bulletin No. 185 - The Influence Of Nitrogen In Soil On Azofication, J. E. Greaves, D. H. Nelson
UAES Bulletins
Many soils of the arid west have a rich active azofying flora. This is due in no small measure to their composition. They are high in calcium and magnesium carbonate and contain a good supply of available phosphorus and potassium but have a low nitrogen content. They are poor in organic carbon; hence, their native supply of energy is limited. It is well-known that a liberal supply of rapidly decaying organic matter is beneficial, and this is being supplied to some soils in the form of manures. This will increase the nitrogen content of the soil. What effect will this …
Bulletin No. 184 - A Farm-Management Study Of The Great Salt Lake Valley, George Stewart
Bulletin No. 184 - A Farm-Management Study Of The Great Salt Lake Valley, George Stewart
UAES Bulletins
This survey had for its purpose the study of farm organization in Great Salt Lake Valley. It is hoped that some conclusions may have been reached as to how to improve farming conditions. The records were taken during the summer of 1915 and consequently represent the farm business for 1914. Ordinarily the period of time that has elapsed since the records were taken would be too long to justify their being published. In view of the fact, however, that the World War began in 1914 and that its effects on the prices of farm products lasted until 1921, it is …
