Bulletin No. 52 - The Chemical Composition Of Utah Soils (Cache And Sanpete Counties), John A. Widtsoe

UAES Bulletins

The soils of the State [Utah], as found by the Mormon pioneers of 1847, were virgin in the fullest sense of the word. As far as man knows, only a few patches in Southern Utah had ever been cultivated. For untold centuries the atmospheric forces, unhindered by man's intervention, had been allowed to weather and make fit for agricultural purposes the rock fragments that, washed down into the valleys from the mountain ranges, constitute the soils of the State. For a long period, also, long before human tradition begins, there had not been enough water in the Utah valleys to …

Bulletin No. 47 - The Climate Of Utah, James Dryden

UAES Bulletins

In reporting the meteorological observations of the Station for the years 1895 and 1896, it has been thought well to include for purposes of comparison records of temperature and precipitation at several other Utah points, as well as other data of climatological importance. The bringing together of all the known facts of our climate is a work of necessity that has been too long neglected. Observers have been patiently collecting data, some of them for a quarter of a century or more, and of the mass that has been collected very little is known outside of the periodical records of …

Bulletin No. 46 - Earthen Dams, Samuel Fortier

UAES Bulletins

According to the last census, 92 1/2 per cent of the Utah farms are irrigated. The advancement of agriculture in this State mainly depends upon the water, the available supply of which, in many of the older settled localities of the State, is already wholly utilized during the irrigation period. The future reclamation of new lands in such localities must, therefore, wait on the development of new sources of supply from storage reservoirs, sub-surface supplies, or from a more economical use of the summer flow of the available streams.

THE PROBLEM OF OUR SOILS AND SOIL MOISTURE.

The soil survey of the state, which was begun by the author in November of 1892, has progressed to the point where it might be considered finished. That is, one or more samples of soils have been taken from every distinct soil region in the state-in fact, most of the separate counties are represented, and mechanical analyses of many of these have already been made. However, in consideration of the size of our counties, the work will not be declared complete until each is represented in the state museum by soil prisms …

Some Impurities In Drinking Water, George Weitbrecht

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The more we know about the causes of disease the more we are convinced that many of the ills that flesh is heir to come to us through germs that are transmitted through the air we breath, the water we drink and the food we eat. You are all familiar with the westward march of cholera among men and epizooty among animals. In surgical operations the danger is not from the operation, but from germs which are in the air and which get into the body through the wound, producing surgical fever, etc. Since Lester used the carbolic acid spray …

The Fixed Stars, John F. Downey

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The object of this paper is to give, in a popular form, a brief review of what is known about the fixed stars. Although they have always been objects of interest, have guided the mariner over trackless seas, arid have inspired many sublime and noble thoughts, yet, until a comparatively recent date, only three things were known about them; viz., that they retain (approximately) their ·relative positions, that they are self luminous, and that they are very far away.
