Circular No. 14 - Housing Farm Poultry, Byron Alder

UAES Circulars

With the exception, perhaps, of actual starvation of the fowls themselves, there is no other factor in connection with the keeping of poultry that will affect egg production and good vigorous growth so decidedly as poor or improper methods of housing. This circular sets forth some of the essentials of a good house for Utah conditions, and offers plans of three houses in which an attempt has been made to include these essentials. The ideas and plans presented here do not represent anyone person's original work. They are a compilation of the work done on this subject by those who …

Some Of The Next Steps In Botanical Science, Charles E. Bessey

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

When one who has worked long in any

field of science speaks before an audience

such as this he is expected to say something

about the condition of his branch of science

when he began work with meager and

poorly adapted apparatus, to contrast it

with its greatly improved condition to-day,

and to dwell with pride upon the finely

equipped laboratories with costly apparatus

especially designed for particular

experiments, to be found by the twentieth

century scientific student. And 1 must

confess that the temptation to do so was

one difficult to resist, for we who have

grown old in …

Bulletin No. 120 - The Chemical Composition Of Crops As Affected By Different Quantities Of Irrigation Water, John A. Widtsoe, Robert Stewart

UAES Bulletins

In earlier bulletins it has been shown that when the quantity of irrigation water applied to crops is varied, the yields of the total crop as well as of the several plant parts vary quite definitely. The readiness with which plants respond to differences in irrigation is really remarkable and undoubtedly lies at the foundation of the future science of irrigation.

Variations in the quantities of irrigation water not only affect the total yield of dry matter, but also the composition of the plant itself. This fact was brought out many years ago in the investigations of this Station.

Bulletin No. 118 - Methods For Increasing The Crop Producing Power Of Irrigation Water, John A. Widtsoe, L. A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

The studies of the Utah Station on the effect of water on the yields of crops have shown, first, that as the water applied increases, the total weight of dry matter also increases; and second, that the increase is not in proportion to the amount of water applied, since the less water applied, the larger the yield of dry matter for each inch of water used. These experiments, as reported in bulletins No. 116 and No. 117 indicate with much certainty the best quantities of water to use for various crops. When, however, each farmer has been allotted this best …

A Consideration Of The Physiology And Life History Of A Parasitic Botrytis On Pepper And Lettuce, George L. Peltier

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

During the autumn of 1911, while gathering the peppers (Capsicum) in the vegetable plat of the Missouri Botanical Garden, the writer observed a fungus which was appearing as a parasite on the fruits. The peduncles were covered with a dark brown mass of conidia and mycelium, which so weakened the tissues that the fruit soon fell to the ground. On opening the peppers a number of large, flat, crust-like sclerotia, 1 cm. long and .5 cm. wide, were found to fill the interior. In most cases the seeds were also covered with the crust-like masses. The conidial stage …

Organization And Polarity Of Protoplasm, John P. Munson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

In higher forms of life, we usually concede the presence of an organ specialized for the performance of a function. In these higher forms coordination of organs, which entails a regular sequence in their functions, is readily made out; and it seems a mere platitude to say, of these, that organization determines the functions of the organism. To what extent can functions exist in the absence of organization; does the one precede the other; or have function and organization developed simultaneously, out of matter devoid of both structure and function? In my studies on the cell, I have kept these …

Malarial Fever In Horses, A. T. Peters

University of Nebraska Historical Extension: Bulletin

This disease is also called "swamp fever" by farmers, and "pernicious anaemia" by veterinarians. In Nebraska many of the farmers call the disease "typhoid fever," for it resembles this fever very much. The manner in which the disease is contracted by horses is not definitely understood. In the last few years, the veterinarians in the Philippines have discovered a disease, prevalent in India under the name of "surra," the description of which corresponds very much to that of malarial fever of horses in this country, with the exception that bacteriologists have not been able to find the surra parasite in …

Cattle Feeding Experiment. Roughness Supplementary To Corn For Fattening Two-Year-Old Range Steers., H. R. Smith

University of Nebraska Historical Extension: Bulletin

In the economical production of beef, the character of the roughness fed in connection with corn is a factor of greater importance than we have given it in the past. Heretofore, 'the inclination among cattle feeders has been to depend almost entirely upon corn for producing beef, supplying almost any sort of roughness that would satisfy the craving of the animal for something bulky. Some, in fact, have operated upon the theory that in producing beef for the market it is desirable to feed corn as heavily as possible, discouraging the consumption of rough feed by supplying an inferior quality …

Bulletin No. 90 - Feeding Beet Molasses And Pulp To Sheep And Steers, Lewis A. Merrill, R. W. Clark

UAES Bulletins

Very few stockmen possess a knowledge of the value of beet pulp and beet molasses as animal food. Very little is known of the food value of molasses, but much information has accumulated, from time to time, concerning the value of pulp as stock food. The most authentic data at hand concerning the food value of pulp come from our experiment stations. To emphasize the value of pulp with the view to encourage small farmers to use it and thereby strengthen the live stock industry of the State, the results obtained by some of our experiment stations are given in …

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. 77 - Horse Feeding, Lewis A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

Previous experiments reported by this Station have shown the value of lucern, the principal forage crop of this section, when fed to cattle, sheep and hogs. The main part of this bulletin is devoted to the value of lucern when fed to horses, though a brief review of the work previously done at this Station in connection with the subject of horse-feeding is included. There has been, and is, some prejudice existing against lucern forming a part or all of the ration of horses, not only in the East, where the value of this crop is not yet fully appreciated, …

The Morphology Of The Pine Cone, Charles E. Bessey

Papers in Systematics and Biological Diversity

So much has been said in regard to the morphology of the cone of the pine and its near allies that it would seem impossible as well as unnecessary to suggest anything further. However, the recent excellent summary in Coulter and Chamberlain's “Morphology of the Spermatophytes" of the many theories hitherto advanced to clear up the matter, and the conclusions reached by the authors named, show that it is by no means settled, and perhaps warrant me in presenting an interpretation which I have used in lectures before my own classes for half a dozen years or more.

Bulletin No. 69 - The Golden Vine Field Pea: Its Chemical Composition And Forage Value, John Stewart

UAES Bulletins

For some time past the Division of Agrostology has been conducting investigations in various parts of the United States with a view to the preservation of our native grasses, the introduction of new varieties, and the improvement of the ranges. The investigation in Texas, where the once fine ranges have been seriously injured or totally destroyed on account of the greed and carelessness of stockmen, is an important one.

In his last report, the Secretary of Agriculture recommends that provisions be made for renting the public lands, suitable for grazing purposes, to stockmen and sheepmen for a number of years. …
