Bulletin No. 152 - The Effects Of Soil Moisture Content On Certain Factors In Wheat Production, F. S. Harris, Howard J. Maughan

UAES Bulletins

A knowledge of the intimate relations between the crop and the moisture of the soil is important to every farmer, and particularly to those in the arid parts of the world. While wheat is not an intensive crop and probably will not give as great returns to the acre for extra care as some other crops, it is well worth while to know how this crop responds to various treatments. The effect of high and low soil moisture during various stages in the growth of the crop is of particular interest. The work of other experimenters on this subject has …

Bulletin No. 149 - Breeding For Egg Production, Part Ii: Seasonal Distribution Of Egg Production With Especial Reference To "Winter" Egg Production, E. D. Ball, Byron Alder

UAES Bulletins

In this bulletin will be found a discussion of the seasonal distribution of egg production during first, second, and third, and later years of egg-laying of the same flocks of hens and a comparison of the distribution of production of high-laying and low-laying flocks in the same season, and different seasons as well as high-laying and low-laying individuals of the same flocks. These studies are based on six flocks of White Leghorn hens ranging from nine years to three years old and all descendants of a common flock. The methods of handling, feeding, and other details are discussed in previous …

Circular No. 23 - The Seed Situation In Utah, George Stewart

UAES Circulars

Due to the use of poor seed, the farmers of Utah lose yearly many thousands of dollars. Often single farms suffer to the extent of several hundred dollars. The most regretable and yet the most hopeful thing about the seed situation is that these losses are largely preventable.

Abundant area of unoccupied public lands have hitherto been within the reach of practically any wide-awake tiller of the soil. The farmer was more nearly sure of larger hay tacks and more bushels of grain or potatoes if he doubled the size of his fields than if he attempted more thorough cultivation. …

Bulletin No. 148 - Breeding For Egg Production: Part 1, A Study Of Annual And Total Production, E. D. Ball, Byron Alder, A. D. Egbert

UAES Bulletins

The average annual egg production of different breeds of fowls, the production that may be expected under different environmental conditions, the average length of life, the total probable production of an individual and the distribution of this production through the life cycle, are all subjects of vital importance to every poultryman. They are also subjects upon which there must be reliable information before accurate breeding work can be carried on. A search through the literature shows that information on all these subjects is extremely meagre.

Circular No. 22 - Some Sources Of Potassium, C. T. Hirst, E. G. Carter

UAES Circulars

The essential elements of plant food are ten in number. Of these carbon and oxygen are obtained by the plant from the air, and hydrogen from the water. Sulphur, calcium, iron and magnesium are required by plants in small quantities and are not likely to be deficient in soils. The three remaining ones--nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium--are likely to be present in soils in smaller quantities and are used by plants in larger amounts than any of the other elements taken from the soil. In addition to these ten elements already named, five other elements, viz., silicon, aluminum, sodium, chlorine, and …

Bulletin No. 146 - The Irrigation Of Wheat, F. S. Harris

UAES Bulletins

The economical use of irrigation water is one of the chief problem of agriculture in arid region. Much more land is available than can be irrigated by the supply of water even then methods of greatest economy are employed. The total crop of arid regions is therefore limited not by land but by water and the welfare of the regions demand that the irrigation water be used as efficiently as possible.

Bulletin No. 145 - Soil Alkali Studies: Quantities Of Alkali Salts Which Prohibit The Growth Of Crops In Certain Utah Soils, F. S. Harris

UAES Bulletins

One of the most important questions connected with the alkali problem in arid soils is the determination of the limits of toxicity of the various alkali salts. The author has already presented considerable data on this subject; but most of these results were obtained under laboratory conditions and with the use of pure salts. The combinations of salts used were not necessarily the combinations found in actual field conditions. It seemed desirable, therefore, to extend these studies to the field in order to determine the exact concentration of the various alkalis that prohibits growth in crops. A study of this …

Bulletin No. 147 - The Alkali Content Of Irrigation Water, Robert Stewart, C. T. Hirst

UAES Bulletins

In certain irrigated districts the alkali problem is a menace. Any controllable factor which tends to increase the alkali content of the soil should be carefully considered in a successful system of soil management. In this connection the quality of the irrigation water is of great importance; the saline content of water has a marked influence upon the method and quantity to be used for irrigation. The factors which will contribute to an increase or decrease of the alkali content of the water must be clearly understood. The amount of the several kinds of alkali salts added to the soil …

Bulletin No. 143 - Fruit Tree Root Systems: Spread And Depth, A. B. Ballantyne

UAES Bulletins

As mentioned in Utah Station Bulletin No. 124, seepage conditions on the Southern Utah Experiment Farm were responsible for the removal of about 5 acres of vineyard in 1908, and 7 acres of mixed peach orchard in 1910, all of which were on the lower or western half of the farm.

These orchards and vineyards had always received good care, clean culture being practiced in fact as well as name. The results for a number of years were all that could be desired, when the trees and vines began to die questions arose as to the cause: since in spite …

Circular No. 20 - Capsule Method Of Breeding Mares, W. E. Carroll, J. Frederick

UAES Circulars

Some inquiry has been received by the State Board of Horse Commissioners relative to the capsule method of breeding mare. With the thought that a brief statement of the instruments used and the methods employed in the so-called capsule method of breeding might be useful to stallion men in general, this little circular has been prepared.

UAES Circulars

In presenting this report of the State Board of Horse Commissioners, it is thought best to include very little which does not bear directly upon the number and distribution of licensed stallions and jacks. Other material treating different phases of the horse industry appears in other circulars from the Board.
