A History Of Preston, Idaho, Clarence G. Judy Jan 1961

A History Of Preston, Idaho, Clarence G. Judy

Theses and Dissertations

Preston, Idaho, a small agricultural community in northern Cache Valley, in early times was a hunting ground for Indians who camped nearby. The first white men to visit the area were trappers, immigrants and explorers. Mormon settlers had pushed to its borders by 1860.

Unlike most communities of Cache Valley, the greater Preston area, known then as Worm Creek, was settled by individual enterprise. In 1868 Dennis W. Winn became the first settler in that part of Worm Creek known as the "Flat" or "Sandridge" which later became Preston. Other settlers located along Worm Creek to the east.

A Study Of The Effects Of Different Substrates On Growth And Reproduction In Certain Coprophilic Agaricaceae, Raymond C. Brown Dec 1960

A Study Of The Effects Of Different Substrates On Growth And Reproduction In Certain Coprophilic Agaricaceae, Raymond C. Brown

Theses and Dissertations

Psilocybe mutans sp. nov. had ceased fruiting consistently in artificial culture several years prior to the initiation of this study. In the couse of this study fruiting bodies were produced on a number of different substrates. All cultures were inoculated by mycelial transfer or by spraying with a suspension of pre-germinated spores. All cultrues were incubated for one to two weeks in a constant-temperature room at 70°F. on a shelf fourteen inches below a fluorescent lighting fixture. Lighting was continuous with an intensity at shelf level of approximately 3,000 foot-candles. Fruiting on any particular substrate was improved if the substrate …

Observations On The Hibernation Of Culex Tarsalis Coquillett In Utah Valley, Utah, Dennis W. Trent Sep 1960

Observations On The Hibernation Of Culex Tarsalis Coquillett In Utah Valley, Utah, Dennis W. Trent

Theses and Dissertations

Culex tarsalis Coquillett is a common evening pest mosquito throughout the summer in most of temperate Western North America. Present evidence indicates this mosquito as the principal naturally infected vector of western equine encephalomyeltic (WEE) viruses. Certain interrelationships of WEE epidemiology and tarsalis bionomics are basically understood; however, in areas where winters are severe little is know of tarsalis hibernation, and the survival mechanism for WEE viruses in unknown. The purpose of this study, conducted from 1 September 1959 to 20 May 1960, was to gather ecological information on the hibernation of Culex tarsalis in Utah Valley, and secondly to …

A Comparison Of The Root Systems Of Bitterbrush And Cliffrose, Morris G. Cline Sep 1960

A Comparison Of The Root Systems Of Bitterbrush And Cliffrose, Morris G. Cline

Theses and Dissertations

A root study was undertaken to learn about bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata (Pursh) DC) and cliffrose (Cowania stansburiana torr.) to gain some clues, perhaps, as to the causes of their present distribution. In a period extending from July 1959 to July 1960, twenty-four plants were excavated on six different sites in the Wasatch foothill belt in Utah County, Utah. Root and some soil characteristics were analyzed, described and compared.

Application Of The Quasi-Lattice Theory To The Heats Of Mixing Of Some Alcohol-Hydrocarbon Systems, Mar Lynn James Sep 1960

Application Of The Quasi-Lattice Theory To The Heats Of Mixing Of Some Alcohol-Hydrocarbon Systems, Mar Lynn James

Theses and Dissertations

Values for the heats of mixing were obtained calorimetrically for the systems C2H5OH-C6H12, CH3OH-C6H6 and C2H5OH-C6H6 at 25° over the complete range of composition. Analytical equations which summarize these values are: Benzene (1) - Methanol (2) System ΔHxM = x1x2[628.4 + 365.7(x1-x2) + 521.9(x1-x2)3 + 819.8(x1-x2)4 ] Benzene (1) - Ethanol (2) System ΔHxM = x1x2[748.8 + 534.1(x1-x2) + 265.7(x1-x2)2 + 408.7(x1-x2)3 + 434.1(x1-x2)4 ] Cyclohexane (1) - Ethanol (2) System ΔHxM = x1x2[615.0 + 132.4(x1-x2) + 195.9(x1-x2)2 + 251.5(x1-x2)3 + 521.7(x1-x2)4 ] where xi is the mole fraction of component i. The experimental data were satisfactorily interpreted by a …
