Bulletin No. 178 - The Irrigation Of Barley, F. S. Harris, D. W. Pittman

UAES Bulletins

The proper use of irrigation water is one of the most important problems of every comnunity and of every farmer in an irrigated district. The irrigation farmer has largely under his control one of the most important factors in determining the yield and quality of his crops and one over which all other farmers have little control at all. On the other hand, in an arid district there is generally less available irrigation water than is needed to give the optimum amount to all the land, or if one region receives an excess there is generally an accumulation of alkali …

Home Supplies Furnished By The Farm, H. D. Mccullough

SDSU Extension Circulars

One hundred fifty years ago a farm family raised practically all of its food and made most of its clothing as well as the simple tools that were used in farm work. Then came the opening up of the West, the building of railroads and the invention and general use of modern farm machinery. Crain, livestock and livestock products were raised in large quantities and sold. Part of the money from these sales was used to buy the clothing, household equipment and food which had previously been made or raised on the farm. No one today would care to go …

Inventories And Depreciation Accounts, H. D. Mccullough

SDSU Extension Circulars

Inventories are an essential part of a farm record. Taken at the beginning and end of the year, they show whether one has been increasing or decreasing the among of livestock, grain, feed, and supplies on hand. An increase in inventory represents income, even though it is not in the form of dollars and cents. A decrease in inventory means that some of the livestock, grain, etc., produced in previous years has been sold or used. Since this was not produced during the current year, it should be considered an expense and deducted from the gross income as such.

Eggs, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

When we remember that an egg is store-up food material to be used for developing the young chick, we can naturally expect it to be a good food containing the various nutrients. Eggs are more nearly interchangeable with milk than any other food. Eggs are tissue building foods, being rich in protein and mineral matter. (Phosphorus, calcium, and iron.) On account of their richness in iron, they are one of the first foods added to the growing child’s diet.

Efficient Livestock And Profits From Farming With Special Reference To Economical Pork Production, H. D. Mccullough

SDSU Extension Circulars

Sales of livestock and of livestock products constitute an important part of the receipts on most South Dakota farms. Records on 126 farms in Brown and Jones Counties in 1921 show that in brown County 37 percent and in Jones County 80 percent of the cash receipts were from these sources. South Dakota is so far from the terminal markets that nearly all of the roughage and a large part of the coarse grain produced in the State is fed to livestock and marketed in the form of beef, pork, butterfat and eggs. It follows that, on any particular farm, …

Short Cuts In Sewing, Azalea Linfield

SDSU Extension Circulars

In this day when we hear so much about labor saving devices, when every business man realizes the value of labor saving equipment, we find that in the majority of homes that the women in sewing work do not make use of the devices that they have. Hand decoration on garments requires a great deal of time. Many new and attractive stiches can be made by the sewing machine and used for decoration. Then with the use of sewing machine attachments a great deal of time and labor can be saved. They offer many possibilities. Tucking, ruffling, hemming, hemstitching, braiding, …

Fruits And Vegetables : Budget, Salad And Greens, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

Fruits and vegetables have been wrongly considered by some as luxuries and relishes valuable principally for the pleasant variety they give to the diet. This conception may be largely due to the fact that they contain a large amount of water and a comparatively small amount of the so called nutrients. The fact that milk is the most perfect food, though it contains 87% water goes to show that the nature of the solids in any food rather than the quantity determines its actual food value. As a whole fruits and vegetables are more economical sources of protein and energy …

Circular No. 47 - Celery Culture For Utah, T. H. Abell

UAES Circulars

At one time practically all the celery consumed in Utah was shipped from California and eastern states. It was soon discovered, however, that celery could be raised in Utah, and as the population increased more and more acres were utilized in the production of this crop. Very little found its way to the outside markets, but what little did get out was well received because of its very high quality. Men who travel say that "Utah Celery" on the menu on trains and in hotels means the best there is in celery.

Within recent years several carloads have been shipped …

A Study Of The Environmental Conditions Influencing The Development Of Stem Rust In The Absence Of An Alternate Host. I. The Viability Of The Urediniospores Of Puccinia Graminis Tritici Form Iii, George L. Peltier

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

No exact data are at hand regarding the influence of temperature and relative humidity on the viability of the urediniospores of stem rust under controlled conditions. 1. The influence of relative humidity on the viability of the urediniospores of Puccinia graminis tritici Form III is very pronounced and closely associated with temperature. 2. At high relative humidities, depending somewhat on the temperature, the percentage of germination is low and the period over which the spores are viable is very short. 3. The same relation exists at the low relative humidities except that it is not so pronounced and is more …

Bulletin No. 181 - Duty-Of-Water Investigations On Coal Creek, Utah, Arthur Fife

UAES Bulletins

Coal Creek flows from the west slope of the part of the Wasatch Mountain range which is located in the southeast part of Iron County, Utah. Its drainage area is almost 100 square miles.

Seasonal and daily stream-flow fluctuations are very pronounced. During the high water of spring the flow has reached more than 600 second-feet. At the time of high water, the daily fluctuations are the greatest. During the low water season in July and August, the flow has dropped as low as 12 second-feet since 1917, when accurate records were first kept; and, from the accounts of early …

Farm Record Keeping And The Application Of Business Principles To Farming, M. R. Benedict, H. D. Mccullough

SDSU Extension Circulars

How to make his farm return enough profit for a wholesome, worth while living and provide for moderate saving is the problem confronting every farmer to-day. Every farm family wants a comfortable home, schooling for the children, electric lights, running water, and the other comforts of life, but usually these things cannot be had unless the farm is made to pay as a business proposition. Farming is not and never has been a means of getting rich quickly or easily. It is a substantial and necessary occupation offering many advantages. On the other hand, it seldom has paid the farmer …

Bulletin No. 182 - The Net Duty Of Water In Sevier Valley, Orson W. Israelsen, Luther M. Winsor

UAES Bulletins

The Sevier River is one of the most important sources of irrigation water in Utah. It rises in two main branches. The south fork rises in Kane County and flows almost due north to Junction in Piute County, where it joins the east fork, which rises partly in Garfield County and partly in Sevier County. The Garfield County branch of the east fork flows north, and the Sevier County Branch flows south to Coyote where the two tributaries join and flow westward into Junction. From Junction, the river flows northward past Marysvale, Sevier, Richfield, Salina, Gunnison, and Mills, where it …
