Bulletin No. 145 - Soil Alkali Studies: Quantities Of Alkali Salts Which Prohibit The Growth Of Crops In Certain Utah Soils, F. S. Harris
Bulletin No. 145 - Soil Alkali Studies: Quantities Of Alkali Salts Which Prohibit The Growth Of Crops In Certain Utah Soils, F. S. Harris
UAES Bulletins
One of the most important questions connected with the alkali problem in arid soils is the determination of the limits of toxicity of the various alkali salts. The author has already presented considerable data on this subject; but most of these results were obtained under laboratory conditions and with the use of pure salts. The combinations of salts used were not necessarily the combinations found in actual field conditions. It seemed desirable, therefore, to extend these studies to the field in order to determine the exact concentration of the various alkalis that prohibits growth in crops. A study of this …
Circular No. 19 - Licensed Stallions In Utah During The Season Of 1915, W. E. Carroll
Circular No. 19 - Licensed Stallions In Utah During The Season Of 1915, W. E. Carroll
UAES Circulars
In presenting this report of the State Board of Horse Commissioners, it is thought best to include very little which does not bear directly upon the number and distribution of licensed stallions and jacks. Other material treating different phases of the horse industry appears in other circulars from the Board.
Circular No. 18 - Better Horses For Utah, W. E. Carroll
Circular No. 18 - Better Horses For Utah, W. E. Carroll
UAES Circulars
The two chief factors which determine the profits realized from the horse breeding business are the cost of production and the quality of the product put on the market. As land values increase, taxes automatically become higher, and this together with the increasing cost of labor, makes the feed and care given the horse more expensive. These factors are so completely independent of the horse breeder that he has little control over the cost of production. This statement is not intended to convey the idea that no account should be taken of costs, or that costs do not vary. Quite …
Circular No. 21 - Dry-Farming In Utah, F. S. Harris, A. D. Ellison
Circular No. 21 - Dry-Farming In Utah, F. S. Harris, A. D. Ellison
UAES Circulars
It was only a few years after the settlement of Utah in 1847 that occasional attempts were made to raise crops without the use of irrigation water, but these first attempts usually resulted in failure. Not until in the sixties could any degree of success be claimed. About this time, farmers in the valley of the Great Salt Lake and in Cache Valley began raising crops regularly on land located above the canal. From then to the present time a measure of success has been enjoyed by the better dry-farmer in some sections, and hardly a year of complete failure …
Bulletin No. 136 - The Commercial Production Of Sugar Beet Seed In Utah, Frank S. Harris
Bulletin No. 136 - The Commercial Production Of Sugar Beet Seed In Utah, Frank S. Harris
UAES Bulletins
History of the beet sugar industry: The production of sugar from beets is a new industry when compared with the length of time that most kinds of crops have been used by man. It was only about 150 years ago that sugar was extracted from beets even in the laboratory, and at that time the percentage of sugar was so low that the expense of extracting was more than the sugar was worth. Just a little more than 100 years ago the first beet sugar factories were built, but it was nearly fifty years after this time before the industry …
Bulletin No. 131 - Variety Tests Of Field Crops In Utah, Frank S. Harris, J. C. Hogenson
Bulletin No. 131 - Variety Tests Of Field Crops In Utah, Frank S. Harris, J. C. Hogenson
UAES Bulletins
The number of varieties of practically all the field crops is now very great, and is increasing every year. Each variety has certain growers who believe in it and who do what they can to make it more widely grown. As a result many varieties of crops are found in most every farming community.
This condition is often bad, since it is impossible to build up a good market with a great mixture of varieties of any crop. A much better price can be obtained if each community offers for sale large quantities of a few standard types, rather than …
Circular No. 15 - Pastures And Pasture Grasses For Utah, F. S. Harris
Circular No. 15 - Pastures And Pasture Grasses For Utah, F. S. Harris
UAES Circulars
Since the earliest records of man his domestic animals have secured a large proportion of their forage from pastures. Before crops were planted and harvested by man the wild grasses furnished the chief food for numerous kinds of animals, and the cutting and curing of hay came as a later development to supplement natural pasturage in seasons of scarcity.
Bulletin No. 125 - The Chemical Milling And Bake Value Of Utah Wheats, Robert Stewart, C. T. Hirst
Bulletin No. 125 - The Chemical Milling And Bake Value Of Utah Wheats, Robert Stewart, C. T. Hirst
UAES Bulletins
The Chemical Department of the Utah Experiment Station, since 1903, has been conducting investigations regarding the value of different wheats grown in the State. The results obtained during the years 1903 to 1906 were published as Bulletin No. 103 of this station. A special investigation in 1910 regarding the influence of the combined harvester on the value of the wheat was conducted and the results obtained issued as Bulletin No. 113. The results reported in the following pages were obtained during the progress of these investigations during the years 1907, 1908, and 1909. The method of milling the samples of …
Bulletin No. 107 - Improvement Of Utah Horses, John T. Caine Iii, H. J. Frederick
Bulletin No. 107 - Improvement Of Utah Horses, John T. Caine Iii, H. J. Frederick
UAES Bulletins
Horse breeding in Utah, with some exceptions, has been carried on in a hap-hazard manner, and unsound horses of doubtful breeding have been purchased at high prices and have proven of little value. Where good blood has been introduced the temporary improvement has been marked, but as this work has not been followed up with care, results have not been lasting.
In spite of bad breeding, however, the standard of Utah horses has been advancing so that in western markets they command high pries. The climate, soil, feed and general conditions throughout the state make it an ideal place for …

Bulletin No. 91 - Arid Farming In Utah: First Report Of The State Experimental Arid Farms, John A. Widtsoe, Lewis A. Merrill
UAES Bulletins
The present high position of Utah among the great commonwealths is due to the practice of irrigation. According to the last census, about 983 square miles are now being irrigated; and yet only a small fraction of Utah's water supply is used for purposes of irrigation. With the adoption of improved methods of using water, and the construction of mighty reservoirs to store the floods of spring, the irrigated area in this State will be largely increased. It is not at all improbable that in time the water supply may be made to irrigate ten times the area now under …
Bulletin No. 88 - The Relation Of Smelter Smoke To Utah Agriculture, John A. Widtsoe
Bulletin No. 88 - The Relation Of Smelter Smoke To Utah Agriculture, John A. Widtsoe
UAES Bulletins
Utah's position among the great commonwealths depends upon the degree of development of the agricultural industry of the State. As a producer of wealth, however, the mining industry exceeds agriculture. The total annual value of Utah farm products is about $17,000,000.00, while the total output from the mines is valued at $34,000,000.00. The operation of the mines, reduction mills and smelters necessitates the employment of large numbers of people, who swell the population of the State, and consume a large part of its agricultural products. Utah, which is an inland State, possessing as yet few large manufacturing enterprises, finds the …
Bulletin No. 72 - A Soil Survey In Salt Lake Valley, Utah, Frank D. Gardner, John Stewart
Bulletin No. 72 - A Soil Survey In Salt Lake Valley, Utah, Frank D. Gardner, John Stewart
UAES Bulletins
Beginning in July, 1899, four months were spent in a thorough and detailed study of that portion of the Salt Lake Valley lying west of the Jordan River, the object being to map the soils with reference to their character and to the extent of, and damage from, "alkali" and seepage waters. The soils were classified according to their texture, and the waters examined with reference to their quality for irrigation purposes. The soils were further studied with reference to their "alkali" content and its effect in varying amounts upon the crops and vegetation. The methods of irrigation were looked …
Bulletin No. 63 - Sugar Beets In Sanpete And Sevier Counties, Luther Foster
Bulletin No. 63 - Sugar Beets In Sanpete And Sevier Counties, Luther Foster
UAES Bulletins
The co-operative experiments in sugar beet culture for the past season were confined to the farmers of Sanpete and Sevier counties. They were carried on in conjunction with an organization formed by the citizens of the two counties and known as the Sanpete-Sevier Sugar Company. This association was organized at a delegate convention, held at Gunnison Feb. 17, 1899, which was composed of the representatives from all of the principal settlements in the two counties. Bishop Christian A. Madsen, the chief promoter of the movement was chosen president of the company, Mr. C. A. Short secretary, and Mr. Thomas Kearnes, …

Bulletin No. 53 - Utah Sugar Beets (1897), John A. Widtsoe
UAES Bulletins
Although the success of the Utah Sugar Co. has proved that sugar beets can be raised profitably in Utah, the farmer of the State, as well as others who are interested in the erection of sugar factories, desire a more accurate knowledge of the possibilities of the sugar beet in the various parts of the State, than can be obtained from isolated and uncontrolled tests. The Utah Experiment Station carried on, therefore, during the season of 1897, a co-operative sugar beet experiment with the farmers of Utah.
