Bulletin No. 127 - Report Of The Richmond-Lewiston Cow Testing Association, W. E. Carroll

UAES Bulletins

The function of all domestic animals is to utilize the coarse rough reeds and transform them into something useful to mankind, either food, clothing, or energy. The animal thus acts as a concentrator for low grade ores, so to speak. The class of animals which will produce most human food, clothing, or energy for man from a given amount of feel--other cost being equal--is the most economical and the one which will remain longest with us as population becomes more dense and the question of food supply becomes keener.

Experiments have shown the dairy cow to be probably the most …

Circular No. 10 - The Control Of The Alfalfa Weevil, E. G. Titus

UAES Circulars

During the work with the alfalfa \weevil throughout several very different seasons and in different regions, of the State, a number of methods of control have been developed that bid fair to be of service in combating this insect. The prospect for the alfalfa grower in the infested area looks more hopeful each year. It is the purpose of this circular to give a brief account of the alfalfa weevil, its present distribution, and the principal methods that appear to be of value in its control.

Bulletin No. 122 - The Nature Of The Dry Farm Soils Of Utah, John A. Widtsoe, Robert Stewart

UAES Bulletins

Successful farming in Utah is dependent upon two main factors: First, the economic use of irrigation water upon the lands lying under the irrigation ditch, and second, upon the correct practice of the principles of dry farming upon those lands not susceptible to irrigation. Dry farming in Utah is, therefore, of great importance and it becomes essential to learn something of the nature of the dry farming soils of the State.

Bulletin No. 121 - The Soil Of The Southern Utah Experiment Station, John A. Widtsoe, Robert Stewart

UAES Bulletins

The soil of the Southern Utah Experiment Farm is a very interesting type: it is highly charged with gypsum and thereby presents a condition unique in reported studies of the soils of America. Gypsiferous soils are characteristic of a large portion of Southern Utah; many of them are derived from shale, others from sandstone, impregnated with gypsum.

The North American Digger Wasps Of The Subfamily Scoliinae, Oscar C. Bartlett

Ba

This contribution to our knowledge of the sub-family Scoliinae (digger wasps) found in North America, Central America and the West Indies, is the result of work done at the Massachusetts Agricultural College under the direct supervision of Doctor H. T. Fernald, and forms a portion of a thesis for the degree of doctor of philosophy. In it, an attempt has been made to place before those interested, a paper in which our present knowledge of these wasps is systematically arranged and the identification of the species facilitated.

Bulletin No. 120 - The Chemical Composition Of Crops As Affected By Different Quantities Of Irrigation Water, John A. Widtsoe, Robert Stewart

UAES Bulletins

In earlier bulletins it has been shown that when the quantity of irrigation water applied to crops is varied, the yields of the total crop as well as of the several plant parts vary quite definitely. The readiness with which plants respond to differences in irrigation is really remarkable and undoubtedly lies at the foundation of the future science of irrigation.

Variations in the quantities of irrigation water not only affect the total yield of dry matter, but also the composition of the plant itself. This fact was brought out many years ago in the investigations of this Station.

Bulletin No. 116 - The Production Of Dry Matter With Different Quantities Of Irrigation Water, John A. Widtsoe

UAES Bulletins

The second period of the irrigation investigations of the Utah Experiment Station began in 1901, when plans were formulated for accurate and extensive studies of the relations to each other of soils, crops and water. Preliminary work was done on the College Farm during the summer of 1901. During the winter of 1901-02, the Greenville Farm was secured, and on it was constructed a system of weirs, flumes and laterals, whereby accurately measured quantities of water could be placed at will upon any plat. With this apparatus a great number of vital questions concerning the practice of irrigation was submitted …

Bulletin No. 117 - The Yields Of Crops With Different Quantities Of Irrigation Water, John A. Widtsoe, L. A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

The value of an irrigated farm rests In the land and in the water available for irrigation. Usually the water right for an acre is worth considerably more than the land itself. Under irrigation it is just as important to secure the largest yield per unit of water as it is to obtain the largest yield per acre. Owing to the high cost of water, the production per unit of water is frequently more important than the yield per acre. In Utah and the other irrigated states, the water available for irrigation, or that which may be made available, is …

Bulletin No. 119 - The Effect Of Irrigation On The Growth And Composition Of Plants At Different Periods Of Development, John A. Widtsoe, Robert Stewart

UAES Bulletins

Early in the pursuit of the irrigation investigations conducted by this Station, it became important to know the best amounts of water to apply at various stages of the plant's growth. The effect of the total quantity of water applied to a crop, depends in large measure upon the number of irrigations and their times of application during the season. It was thought that some light would be shed upon this problem by examining crops, under variable irrigation methods, at different times before maturity. Such work, also, it was hoped might yield more definite information concerning the manner in which …

Bulletin No. 118 - Methods For Increasing The Crop Producing Power Of Irrigation Water, John A. Widtsoe, L. A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

The studies of the Utah Station on the effect of water on the yields of crops have shown, first, that as the water applied increases, the total weight of dry matter also increases; and second, that the increase is not in proportion to the amount of water applied, since the less water applied, the larger the yield of dry matter for each inch of water used. These experiments, as reported in bulletins No. 116 and No. 117 indicate with much certainty the best quantities of water to use for various crops. When, however, each farmer has been allotted this best …

Circular No. 7 - Labor Saving Devices For The Farm Home, Leah D. Widtsoe

UAES Circulars

This paper was written for and read before the first International Congress of Farm Women held at Colorado Springs, October 17th to 21st, 1911. A few changes have been made in the manuscript and some illustrations added.

The name indicates that it is written for the progressive farmers of some means--since all labor saving devices cost more or less money. The farm home which finds it difficult to keep flour in the barrel, naturally will not be interested in $125.00 water systems--except as an ideal they may attain to some day, and ideals are always helpful. To find ways and …

Bulletin No. 115 - The Movement Of Water In Irrigated Soils, J. A. Widtsoe, W. W. Mclaughlin

UAES Bulletins

This bulletin embodies a part of the data secured in the irrigation investigations of this Station. It aims to contribute something to our knowledge of the movement of water in irrigated soils . The science of irrigation can not well be built until the laws involved in the mutual relationships of waters, soils and crops are understood with fair accuracy. Much has been done by numerous investigators, during the last fifty years, to give a clearer comprehension of the movement of soil moisture; but the field experiments have dealt largely with saturated soils, and the laboratory experiments have seldom taken …
