Bulletin No. 223 - Feeding Value Of Alfalfa Hay Treated With Calcium Arsenate, H. J. Frederick

UAES Bulletins

For a number of years many tons of sprayed or dusted hay have been fed successfully to livestock by stockmen interested in controlling the alfalfa weevil; nevertheless. the supposed cases of poisoning that have been reported naturally have caused concern among feeders.

Further confusion on this question has resulted from reports on studies designed to determine the effect of lead arsenate instead of calcium arsenate.

Whether the lead in lead arsenate has been a more injurious agent than the arsenic, of course, is difficult to state. Most of the experiments performed in the feeding of sprayed or dusted hay have …

Circular No. 90 - Swine Production In Utah, Harry H. Smith

UAES Circulars

During the last 20 years there has been a marked change in the type of hogs from the short-legged, wide-bodied or "hot-blood" type to a longer, somewhat more narrow-bodied, "leggier" type. For development of size in hogs they must have (1) length and depth of body, (2) length of leg, and (3) large but not coarse bones. The long-bodied rather "leggy" pig grows rapidly and makes the larger hog. While the modern hog is still a lard hog, it is not as thick and broad as were its predecessors. It is logical to assume that the hog of the future …

Bulletin No. 221 - Snakes Of Utah, Herbert J. Pack

UAES Bulletins

For 17 years the late Dr. Herbert J. Pack, former Station Entomologist, made a study of the reptiles and amphibians of Utah. His original idea was to publish a comprehensive treatment of the snakes and lizards of his state, and whenever opportunity was afforded collected data on their distribution, habits, and economic importance. At the time of his death, on January 5, 1930, many notes and drawings of lizards were left; a manuscript on snakes, presented for his master's thesis to the Utah State Agricultural College in 1923, was also in his possession. Bulletin 221 contains essentially the information presented …

Circular No. 86 - Coccidiosis Of Chicken, D. E. Madsen

UAES Circulars

Coccidiosis is a highly contagious disease of chickens and other fowls which is widespread and destructive, especially to half-grown chickens. The heaviest losses occur in chicks from 2 to 10 weeks of age. Just prior to and during their first laying season, pullets sometimes become affected with the disease in a chronic form. The cause is a microscopic protozoan parasite, the oocyst form of which is present in the droppings of diseased birds in large numbers. At least three species of the parasite have been recognized in fowls. The severity of the outbreak is thought to be determined by the …

Bulletin No. 217 - Prices Of Farm Products In Utah, W. Preston Thomas

UAES Bulletins

The purpose of this bulletin is to indicate, by means of price data, the relative position of Utah's agriculture, the agriculture of the United states as a whole, and industrial enterprises. It Is the aim to analyze these price data in order to indicate the relationship existing between the various commodities and major enterprises. Through comparative price series an attempt has been made to present in tabular and graphic form a general picture of these enterprises for a series of years.

Bulletin No. 218 - The Alfalfa-Seed Chalcis-Fly In Utah: 1926-29, Inclusive, Charles J. Sorenson

UAES Bulletins

During the past 10 or 15 years alfalfa-seed has constituted the major crop in western Millard County and in most of that portion of the Uintah Basin which is situated in Utah. In these sections of the state various natural conditions generally have been favorable for seed production. Within the last five years seed growers have thought that one of the principal limiting factors of the industry has been the alfalfa-seed chalcis-fly. Accordingly, a preliminary survey in the seed districts of the state was made in the fall of 1925 by the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station.

The greater part of …

Circular No. 87 - Raising Dairy Calves, George B. Caine

UAES Circulars

Too much importance cannot be given to the number and kind of calves raised. The life of an average cow is 6.5 years. To maintain the present number of cows in Utah about 15,385 heifer calves should be raised annually. One-half of all calves born are males and are usually disposed of in a few weeks; the other 50 per cent are females from which selection must be made to maintain the herds. In many parts of Utah the number of dairy cows should be increased and probably the best way to accomplish this is to raise carefully selected calves.

Circular No. 85 - Chlorosis Yellowing Of Plants: Cause And Control, F. B. Wann

UAES Circulars

Chlorosis is a disease of plants, the characteristic symptom of which is the yellowing of the leaves. The disease is of sporadic but widespread distribution in Utah and the aggregate losses caused by it are undoubtedly greater than those of any other one disease. Not only are many plants killed, or weakened to such an extent that only inferior crops are produced, but many areas of land which might otherwise support profitable orchards have been abandoned or planted to other crops because of the disease.

A Study Of Bull Associations, Arthur J. Morris

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

"A cooperative bull association", according to the United States Department of Agri culture, is "a farmers' organization formed for the purpose of joint ownership, use, and exchange of high class, purebred dairy bulls."

The members of the association are divided into three or more groups of neighboring farmers, each group being known as a block. A block may consist of one herd or several herds and contains from 40 to 60 cows. One bull is used in each block, and in order to prevent inbreeding, each bull is moved to another block every two years. If all the bulls live …

A Research Study Of Lamb Feeding In Winter Dry Lots At Monroe, Utah, 1928-29, George R. Henderson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

By reason of the topography of the land, Utah is and probably will remain a livestock grazing state. As far as agriculture is concerned over 90 percent of the area is suitable for grazing only. This grazing range is used by cattle and sheep.

Some Economic Aspects Of The Silver Fox Industry Including A Brief Study Of The Economic Possibilities Of The Industry In Northern Utah And Vicinity, Duncan Wayne Henrie

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The question is often asked, does the production of silver fox fur pay? Being a new industry in this part of the country (1924 was probably the beginning) not much is known concerning the facts of the business by the average person. In the following pages an economic discussion of the factors of this industry will be given. To begin with a short history of the fur industry and fur farming is given, to give perspective and background, as it is only through the history of the past that we are able to judge the future.

Circular No. 82 - Lamb Slaughtering And Cutting, Harry H. Smith

UAES Circulars

The old saying that "the shoemaker's wife goes without shoes" might be changed to read "the lamb raiser and feeder of the west does not eat lamb." About three-fourths of the population of the United states is east of the Mississippi River, and about 90 per cent of all the lamb and mutton produced in the United states is consumed east of the Mississippi. It has been observed, both on the farms and in towns, that a large percentage of people in the sheep sections of the west have tasted neither lamb nor mutton.

Circular No. 81 - Beef Slaughtering, Cutting, And Curing, Harry H. Smith

UAES Circulars

Many farmers follow the practice of occasionally slaughtering a steer, a heifer, or a calf for home use. When this practice is followed the farmer is assured of getting meat of high quality. Experience has taught him that he is not always :able to get meat at a local market which equals in quality that which he slaughters on his own farm. The butcher is not at fault as he usually handles the quality of meat his customers desire and will accept.

Circular No. 80 - Domestic Slaughtering, Cutting, And Curing Of Pork, Harry H. Smith

UAES Circulars

The practice of slaughtering hogs on the farm is being followed rather extensively by the farmers of this state. It is an economic practice and should be more generally followed because by this practice a supply of meat is available throughout the year. In all ages meat has been the principal article of diet of the ruling races. It is a natural and necessary part of man's diet. The races of people who have not included meat in their diet are today numbered among the weaker and more backward nations.

Bulletin No. 212 - Studies On The Morphology Of The Beet Leafhopper, G. F. Knowlton

UAES Bulletins

The beet leafhopper, Eutettix tenellus (Baker), is one of the most serious insect pests of western North America. Its chief importance is as a vector of the plant disease curly-top, which it transmits to beets, tomatoes, beans, melons, and many other agricultural plants. The virus apparently is introduced into the plant during the process of feeding, and is responsible for the frequent and often enormous losses to the sugar-beet growers and sugar manufacturers of the west. Apparently, the virus multiplies and remains active in the body of a leafhopper for some time, making it possible for the insect, after once …

Bulletin No. 213 - Food Habits Of Utah Farm Families, Almeda Perry Brown

UAES Bulletins

This report is merely an attempt to set forth the findings of the investigation without making claim to their being conclusive except for the families included in the study. While the study was carried into a relatively large portion of the state, the records are too few in number for any claim to be made that they represent community food conditions. It is believed, however, that the records which form the basis of this report are representative of the food situation in the homes from which they come.

Bulletin No. 210 - The Mineral Content Of Grains, J. E. Greaves, C. T. Hirst

UAES Bulletins

It is generally recognized that shrunken, frosted, or smutty grain is inferior to sound, clean, plump grain. Much has been done on the protein content of grain, and the best millers today purchase grain for its protein content. Few give any consideration to its minerals. Yet do two bushels of sound, plump, clean grain of known protein content grown under the same or different conditions, have the same mineral content? If not, it is of importance to both the producer and consumer: to the consumer because it governs the nutritive value of the product; to the producer because it represents …
