Bulletin No. 346 - Irrigation Waters Of Utah, J. P. Thorne, D. W. Thorne

UAES Bulletins

Irrigation waters are never pure. All contain some dissolved salts. The amount may vary from a trace to concentrations so great that the water is unfit for use. The kind of salt in irrigation water may be even more important than the total amount. Borates in extremely low quantities, for example, may injure or kill crop plants. If the proportion of sodium in irrigation water is high, the soil may be gradually rendered unproductive. On the other hand, the salts may consist in part of essential plant nutrients or other helpful salts that aid in keeping soils productive.

Bulletin No. 349 - Management Of Irrigation And Drainage Enterprises In Utah: With Special Reference To The Northern Cache Valley Area, J. Howard Maughan, O. W. Israelsen

UAES Bulletins

The purposes of this study on the management of irrigation and drainage enterprises in northern Cache Valley, Utah, are to assist farmers in the area and in other similar areas to learn the causes of their irrigation and drainage problems and to determine the best approach toward their solution. The bulletin first presents some of the general problems connected with irrigation and drainage organizations, and then discusses the problems of the local area, known as the Cub River area.

Bulletin No. 348 - Cost And Efficiency Of Producing Canning Corn In Cache County, Utah, 1949, Earnest M. Morrison, Willis G. Kearl

UAES Bulletins

The canning corn enterprise is becoming increasingly important to the farmers of Utah. For two decades prior to 1940, the acreage used in canning corn production varied between 400 and 800 acres; however, it has increased from 600 acres in 1942 to 6,300 acres in 1949. This increase has been larger, both in percentage and in absolute amount, than for any other intertilled or orchard crop in the state during the same period of time. In 1949 the farm value of canning corn sold was $567,000. Peas and tomatoes were the only canning crops which exceeded it in value.

Bulletin No. 347 - The Life History And Management Of The Mountain Whitefish Prosopium Williamsoni (Girard) In Logan River Utah, William F. Sigler

UAES Bulletins

In 1948 a comprehensive fishery investigation on Logan River was initiated by the Department of Wildlife Management, Utah State Agricultural College, and the Utah Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit. Three masters' theses have been completed on life histories and populations to date (Thoreson, 1949; Fleener, 1950; Pechacek, 1950). One phase of this investigation is a study of the mountain whitefish Prosopium williamsoni (Girard).

Bulletin No. 350 - Cemeteries Of Box Elder And Summit Counties, Joseph A. Geddes, Carmen Fredrickson

UAES Bulletins

One of man's greatest challenges is to build institutions that adequately meet basic needs. A cemetery is a social institution invented to take care of needs related to the dead.

Times and conditions change. A design which seemed adequate when initiated may soon become archaic and out-moded if it is not modified in the light of new discoveries.

This study raises many issues about cemeteries. As one reads the bulletin many questions concerning the nature and function of other institutions arise. What is their condition in contrast with the cemeteries?
