Circular No. 18 - Better Horses For Utah, W. E. Carroll

UAES Circulars

The two chief factors which determine the profits realized from the horse breeding business are the cost of production and the quality of the product put on the market. As land values increase, taxes automatically become higher, and this together with the increasing cost of labor, makes the feed and care given the horse more expensive. These factors are so completely independent of the horse breeder that he has little control over the cost of production. This statement is not intended to convey the idea that no account should be taken of costs, or that costs do not vary. Quite …

Bulletin No. 142 - Irrigation Of Peaches, L. D. Batchelor

UAES Bulletins

The writer took up the study of the irrigation of peaches in the spring of 1913 after being connected in a co-operative way with a similar problem during the years 1911 and 1912. The results which follow are primarily from notes taken during 1913 and 1914. Free access has been made, however, to notes taken on the similar problem noted above, when the author was associated with Prof. Walter McLaughlin in connection with a co-operative irrigation problem. Some of the results of 1913 were materially influenced by the treatment of the orchard in 1912.

Circular No. 21 - Dry-Farming In Utah, F. S. Harris, A. D. Ellison

UAES Circulars

It was only a few years after the settlement of Utah in 1847 that occasional attempts were made to raise crops without the use of irrigation water, but these first attempts usually resulted in failure. Not until in the sixties could any degree of success be claimed. About this time, farmers in the valley of the Great Salt Lake and in Cache Valley began raising crops regularly on land located above the canal. From then to the present time a measure of success has been enjoyed by the better dry-farmer in some sections, and hardly a year of complete failure …

Bulletin No. 141 - Variation In Minimum Temperatures Due To The Topography Of A Mountain Valley In Its Relation To Fruit Growing, L. D. Batchelor, F. L. West

UAES Bulletins

The most destructive weather enemy in all fruit growing sections is the late spring frost which frequently occurs after warm weather has caused the fruit blossoms to become fully developed. The variation in severity of such frosts in mountain valleys is a phenomenon well known to the practical orchardist. The actual extent of this variation and the contributing causes have claimed only a very little attention from scientific workers in the mountainous regions. The present publcation is a preliminary report of investigations which were planned to measure the extent of such temperature variations, and acertain if possible some of the …

Bulletin No. 140 - The Summer Pruning Of A Young Bearing Apple Orchard, L. D. Batchelor, W. E. Goodspeed

UAES Bulletins

The majority of horticultural writers seem to favor the summer pruning of apple trees. The practice, and the arguments made in its favor vary widely and in some instances seem almost contradictory. On the other hand some experimenters and practical workers have obtained negative results by summer pruning from the view-point of crop production and tree growth. Dickens(1) caused unproductive ten year old apple trees in Kansas to bear satisfactorily during the fourth year of summer pruning. The Gardners' Chronicle(2) compiled the opinions of more than one hundrend eighty-five fruit growers who practiced summer pruning, and about 82% of these …

Bulletin No. 139 - The Movement Of Soluble Salts With The Soil Moisture, F. S. Harris

UAES Bulletins

In irrigated districts, where excessive quantities of water are used, there is usually an accumulation of alkali salts in the soils of the lower lands. These salts are probably dissolved from the soils through which the percolating waters pass and are carried along until the water comes to the surface and is evaporated, when the salts are deposited as a crust at the surface. Many of the most fertile soils of the arid regions have been ruined by the bringing to the surface of soluble salts in such large quantities that the growth of crops is prohibited. The rapidity with …

Bulletin No. 138 - How To Control The Grasshoppers, E. D. Ball

UAES Bulletins

There is no longer any reason why a farmer or a community of farmers should allow their crops and meadows to be destroyed by swarms of grasshoppers. Our knowledge of their habits has increased and better methods of destruction are known, so that at the present time the grasshopper takes its place in the list of crop pests that can be controlled by those who desire to do so. In the old days when countless numbers of the Rocky Mountain locusts (M. spretus) settled down on the crops of the few scattering settlers of the plains or Intermountain region, there …

Bulletin No. 137 - The Quality Of Home Grown Vs. Imported Wheat, Robert Stewart, C. T. Hirst

UAES Bulletins

In 1907 a number of new varieties of wheat were introduced into Utah and have since been grown on the Nephi Experimental Dry Farm, under strictly dry farm conditions. In view of the well-known influence of environment upon the quality of the wheat it is of importance to study the effect of climatic conditions in Utah upon this introduced seed. Wiley (1) says: "The quality and properties of wheat depend more upon the environment in which it is grown than upon the species to which it belongs. There is perhaps no other field crop in which environment, namely, conditions of …
