Circular No. 96 - Crickets And Grasshoppers In Utah, W. W. Henderson
Circular No. 96 - Crickets And Grasshoppers In Utah, W. W. Henderson
UAES Circulars
In the written history of Utah, especially that which is reflected in diaries and journals of the pioneer settlers and that found in the oldest publications, there is ample evidence that one of the most serious handicaps to progress in this "far-western" territory was the cricket and its near kinsman, the grasshopper. Three basic resources on which the first permanent settlers counted were: (1) Good soil suitable for raising crops to sustain life; (2) suitable climate to make possible the maturing of wheat, corn, and vegetables; and (3) sufficient water of good quality not only for home uses but for …

It was the task of the pioneers to "subdue" the land. To them, this meant removing the brush, opening the ditches, and reducing the coarse sod to a fine mellow seedbed. They performed their task. Then for one to three generations the sons, grandsons, and the great grandsons of the pioneers made the land feed them. The idea of "subduing" the land was so firmly established in the West, that few realized the soil was being depleted in a manner somewhat similar to a bank account always drawn on but never replenished. Highly productive land is able to stand such …

The condensed milk plant located at Wellsville, Utah, could use more milk to an advantage. The dairymen of the section were anxious to supply this demand. The dairymen and manufacturers cooperatively planned a survey to determine by what means this demand could be brought about: Should the dairymen increase the size of their herds? If not, what could be done to increase dairy production?
Bulletin No. 225 - Progress Report: Carbon County Experimental Farm, 1927-30, Inclusive, I. D. Zobell, George Stewart
Bulletin No. 225 - Progress Report: Carbon County Experimental Farm, 1927-30, Inclusive, I. D. Zobell, George Stewart
UAES Bulletins
The agricultural problems of the Carbon County Experimental Farm and of the locality which it serves are distinctly different from those of most of the farming localities of Utah. The low and uncertain winter rainfall, the comparative "rawness" of the soils, together with their almost infinite stickiness when wet, and the presence of considerable alkali throughout their body makes them peculiarly sensitive to time and manner of treatment and causes them to absorb water slowly and to erode readily.

Circular No. 93 - Better Sugar-Beet Culture For Utah, George Stewart, D. W. Pittman
UAES Circulars
Utah was one of the first states to begin sugar-beet growing. The industry grew rapidly, favored by the climate, by the naturally productive soils, by the freedom from pests, and by the system of intensive irrigation agriculture. California and Utah were among the leading beet-producing states at the time of the World War, and under the stimulus of high prices they remained so until the great depression of 1920. After that, the frequent occurrence of curly-top and the rapid spread of nematode, together with the low price resulting from increased cane sugar production in the tropics and from other causes …
