A large portion of the agriculture of Utah, outside of the desert range areas, is characteristically heterogeneous rather than homogeneous in character. Marked differences in size of farm, in crops grown, in livestock kept, in yields, and in farm organization occur within short distances. This diversity is due in large measure to differences in soil, elevation, topography, and other physical features and to climatic characteristics such as amount, kind, and distribution of precipitation and length of growing season. The physical and climatic features are the chief determinants of the amount of water potentially available for the irrigation of the crop …

Project 90-A Study of Factors Influencing the Financial Condition of Certain Utah Irrigation and Drainage Projects-was undertaken in 1928 as an intensified study of local areas. This study was divided among four departments, with a project leader for each particular phase of the study. These four project leaders, guided by the Station Director, have constituted a committee in immediate charge of this project. Subprojects and their respective leaders have been: A-Engineering and Engineering Economic Aspects, O. W. Israelsen; B-Soil Productivity Aspects, D. S. Jennings; C-Contributing Sociological Aspects, J. A. Geddes; and D-Economic Aspects, W. Preston Thomas.

Bulletin No. 272 - Transmissibility Of Bang's Disease Among Dairy Cattle In A Utah Dairy Village, D. E. Madsen, O. G. Larsen

UAES Bulletins

For a number of years it has been generally recognized that one of the most satisfactory methods of controlling Bang's disease in dairy cattle is to locate spreaders by means of the agglutination test and to eliminate them from the herd. The success of such a plan in relation to Utah dairy herds was not clearly understood because of the physical farm set-up peculiar to many communities in this state. The village of Hyde Park where this study was made is organized on such a community basis. Usually, a house and livestock buildings are constructed on the town lot, consisting …


Bulletin No. 269 - Farm Versus Village Living In Utah, Joseph A. Geddes Mar 1936

Bulletin No. 269 - Farm Versus Village Living In Utah, Joseph A. Geddes

UAES Bulletins

This is the second of a series of bulletins based on a study of Utah village life which was begun in 1927. The purpose of the investigation was to determine, under prevailing conditions, whether for farm people farm-living is less desirable than village-living. Four type villages were selected in as many counties for field studies.
