The Flat-Headed Apple-Tree Borer, Fred E. Brooks

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

The flat-headed apple-tree borer, a serious orchard pest throughout the greater part of United States, is found from the Atlantic to Pacific and from Florida and Texas to Canada.

The larva, or grub, of this insect (which in the adult stage is a medium-sized beetle) bores in the bark and wood of a great variety of trees, but is best known as an enemy of apple, pear, peach, and other cultivated fruit trees. Its depredations are felt in almost every locality where orchards have been planted.

Fortunately, this borer almost invariably confines its attacks to the sunny sides of trees …

Bulletin No. 179 - Apple Candy: A Commercial Use For Cull Apples, T. H. Abell

UAES Bulletins

Utah annually produces many tons of apples that never reach the consumer. These apples remain on the farm for various rwasons: (1) because there are not adequate marketing facilities, (2) because the fruit is of inferior quality, (3) because orchard units are too small for buyers to consider, and (4) because home orchards are so large that the crop cannot be utilized. On the other hand, apples of inferior quality go to the market alongside apples of high quality. The result is a lowering of the price of apples in general and dissatisfaction on the part of the retailer and …

Bulletin No 69 - The Poison Plants Of Western Australia, D. A. Herbert

Bulletins 1 - 2999

Up to the present no publication dealing with the whole of the known i)01S0fl plaits of Western Australia has been written. This Bulletin contains the collected accounts of various authors and correspondents which have been published at different times and contains a large amount of original information gathered both from field experience and from laboratory experiments. The work is not complete. A number of plants from distant districts have not been obtainable or obtainable only in amounts insufficient for exhaustive tests. These plants are comparatively few, however, and in Section 13 of this publication those which are suspected, but against …

Haynes, Irene Dunne, Selma Rongstad, Geo H. Valentine, M. R. Benedict, J. C. Holmes, Ralph L. Patty, F. E. Mccall, G. S. Weaver, Manley Champlin, A. L. Ford

SDSU Extension Circulars

The past year has been filled with unusual activity and interest along the different phases of agricultural extension work. The demand for the services of the different extension workers has greatly increased, so much so that it has become a problem as to how their time may be best assigned to accomplish the most.
Extension work is based upon cooperation. The counties, state, and government cooperate in finding the problems and in solving them. Some of these agricultural and rural problems may be solved in the local community; others need the assistance of the whole county; other problems, again, are …

Circular No. 43 - Feeding Work Horses, W. E. Carroll

UAES Circulars

The intelligent feeding of the work horses of the State of Utah would save each year thousands of dollars in feed and prevent sickness and death of hundreds of horses.

In Circular 32 of this station a brief discussion is given of some of the more theoretical aspects of the feeding of farm animals as they might apply in general to all classes of livestock. Consideration is given to such questions as the composition and digestibility of feeds, the uses to which the digested portions are put in the animal body, the calculation and balancing of rations, how to judge …

Hymenoptera Collected Near Boston, Mass., With Descriptions Of A Variety Of Bombus Affinis, Joseph Bequaert

Ba

While collecting Hymenoptera at Forest Hills, Mass., and other localities in the vicinity of Boston, I have taken on two occasions a bumble-bee, which from its aberrant coloration could not be properly named with Franklin's "Bombidae of the New World." I have been permitted to examine similarly colored Bombus, taken some years previous by Professor Wheeler at Forest Hills and by Mr. J. E. Smith at Sherborn, Mass. It was finally recognized that all these specimens belong to a striking color-variant of Bombus affinis, which it is the purpose of this note to describe and name. I have used this …

Dairy Barn And Milk House Arrangement, J. H. Frandsen, W. B. Nevens

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

From an economic point of view, as well as from the standpoint of animal comfort, it is highly desirable that adequate barn or shed facilities be provided for the dairy herd. Some farmers have developed the idea that to keep cows healthy and comfortable and to produce sanitary milk it is absolutely necessary to have expensive barns. As a matter of fact, many of the dairy barns where sanitation is the primary object are quite inexpensive. On the other hand, if the barn is conveniently arranged and made to embody the most accepted sanitary features, it is very essential that …

Bulletin No. 166 - The Climate Of Utah, Frank L. West, N. E. Edlefsen

UAES Bulletins

Climate is of interest and importance to the scientist in general. It is particularly important to the investigator in the field of agriculture because growing crops are affected quite as much by sunlight, heat, rain, and frost as by the fertility of the soil. In field investigations these factors must be determined and reckoned with.

Circular No. 40 - Potato Production, George Stewart

UAES Circulars

Potatoes were the first crop planted in Utah. In July, 1847, the Mormon pioneers turned the water from City Creek over the parched land near what is now the center of Salt Lake City. The ground was then broken and sown at once to potatoes. Only a small yield was obtained but this helped materially to eke out the meagre food supply until the harvest of 1848. During the several hard years that followed, potatoes were among the most important foods for the pioneer settlers. Since then, they have held a prominent place in the agriculture of the State. Just. …

Circular No. 34 - Sugar-Beet Production In Utah, F. S. Harris, N. I. Butt

UAES Circulars

Utah is one of the pioneers in the beet-sugar industry. The first sugar factory was brought into the State in 1852, but, like all the early attempts to produce sugar from beets in the United States, the enterprise was unsuccessful. In 1891 a factory was erected at Lehi when there were less than a half a dozen factories in the United States. From this time on Utah has been one of the few states of the Union important in the manufacture of beet sugar. Since soil, climate, irrigation, and labor conditions are favorable to the crop, it is probable that …

The Care Of Pullets For Winter Eggs, E. L. Hayes

SDSU Extension Circulars

It is not difficult to secure fall and winter eggs in profitable numbers if we provide suitable conditions and then try to meet those conditions. Such factors as feed, care and even breeding conditions all enter into egg production, but are somewhat limited when compared with early hatching of pullets. Mature pullets of any of the popular breeds will lay winter eggs and there is probably little difference in their actual productive capacity under favorable conditions. There are, however, marked differences in the various breeds with respect to uniformity of color, size or weight of the eggs produced, as well …

Vegetable Storage, F. E. Mccall

SDSU Extension Circulars

Need of Food. A nation at war is a nation with a food problem. A nation with a food shortage is a nation in peril. In the face of the present world food situation food products of all classes must necessarily be conserved in order that the food demands of the nation may be met. Need of Storage. By the proper storage and utilization of vegetables, larger quantities of the less perishable food products will be released for shipment across the Atlantic, and the people at home will be well supplied with food. This year, the need for proper storage …

Home Canning : One Period, Cold Pack Method, Roberta Mcneill

SDSU Extension Circulars

It is unnecessary to point out at the present time the necessity of home canning. Home canned vegetables and fruits will aid materially in solving present food problems. Of all the methods used in home canning, the one period cold pack process has given the greatest satisfaction. This consists of preparing the material, packing it uncooked in clean jars and sterilizing the material and jars at the same time. The advantages of this method are:
1. Time is saved.
2. Flavor is retained.
3. Spoilage is lessened.
4. Texture is improved.
5. Color is better.
By the method, meats and …

Circular No. 28 - Contagious Abortion In Mares And Cows, H. J. Frederick

UAES Circulars

Contagious abortion is a cause of great loss to the stock growers of Utah. There is an urgent demand from nearly all parts of this State for information relative to this disease. In an effort to satisfy this demand a few facts regarding the disease as they are now known are here presented. It is not the purpose of this circular to report original research, but merely to describe the disease as it exists among animals in this State. The causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and methods of combating and controlling this great menace to the livestock industry are all considered.

Circular No. 26 - Storing Vegetables For Winter, M. C. Merrill

UAES Circulars

The storing of vegetables for winter use has come to be important. The joys of having a large variety of choice garden produce available for the table at any time are no longer confined to growing season. Because we are thrifty today and plan for the morrow, we gather our crops in the fall and store them for winter use.

In spite of its importance, comparatively little research work has been done on the problems of storage. AS a result we are still employing many of the same methods that were devised by our forefathers, except in the case of …

Circular No. 23 - The Seed Situation In Utah, George Stewart

UAES Circulars

Due to the use of poor seed, the farmers of Utah lose yearly many thousands of dollars. Often single farms suffer to the extent of several hundred dollars. The most regretable and yet the most hopeful thing about the seed situation is that these losses are largely preventable.

Abundant area of unoccupied public lands have hitherto been within the reach of practically any wide-awake tiller of the soil. The farmer was more nearly sure of larger hay tacks and more bushels of grain or potatoes if he doubled the size of his fields than if he attempted more thorough cultivation. …
