The Application Of Certain Criteria Of Success To The Adult Education Courses In Box Elder County, Utah, 1938 To 1942, Inclusive, Mont Harmon

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This study is part of a larger project which is still in progress in Box Elder County, Utah. Mr. J. Wesley Norsley, chairman of the Central Sponsoring Committee, makes the following statement of its purpose.

The project described in this report is an educational experiment. It is intended as nothing more. The aggregate of Box Elder County is its laboratory; its people and their resources: the materials.

The experiment issues from realization that democracy, suddenly grown intensely important to Americans, is based in home and family, and that the vitality of this key institution is declining.

The success of the …

The Scientist's Concept Of The Physical World, Willard Gardner

Faculty Honor Lectures

To those who are aesthetic, there is perhaps nothing more inspiring than a beautiful sunset, with brilliant colors above the horizon and with banks of dark clouds above, set in the deep blue of the heavens, or the brilliant hues of the rainbow forming a halo about the majestic mountain with its coat of green, purple, brown, or gray. By these things are the emotions stirred.

The physicist too is emotional but he.is also at times realistic. He becomes sentimental but he also seeks to explain the behavior of nature. By means of devices and instruments his perceptual world is …

A Study Of The Physical Education Facilities And Programs In Three Southern Utah High Schools, Floyd Harrison Slater

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In the field of physical education there has been formulated by leading physical education authorities an ideal program for use· in high schools, but this program cannot always be used in our high schools because of certain problems that are always present. However, we can adopt the ideal program and modify it to fit any situation that may arise in the various schools. The physical education program is an unstatic program. It is always changing with the changing philosophy of physical education.

Transactions Of The Plague Control Conference Of The United States Public Health Service And Twelve Western States, United States Public Health Service

Elusive Documents

The plague problem is potentially of grave public health importance. The history of this disease over a period of centuries shows that it has several times assumed epidemic proportions, especially in cities. History also shows that when the disease appears in bubonic form contracted from rat fleas, it sooner or later may assume the pneumonic type and be spread from person to person with fatal results.

From the evidence presented to the conference it appears that complete control of plague is not economically feasible without a great increase in Federal, State, and local expenditures. It is recommended that funds are …

Utah State Agricultural College Graduates Now Living In Other States, Robert Dawson Simpson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This is a study of graduates of the Utah State Agricultural College who have left Utah and are now residing elsewhere. Inquiries by faculty members and interested alumni, as well as the writer's own interest in the subject of migration, prompted the organization of this study.

The immediate reason for the inquiry was an enlarging interest on the campus concerning the present whereabouts of graduates who have left the state. When present residence was ascertained, other questions arose. What kind of employment had migrating graduates secured? What major interests were had? What important voluntary public services are graduates rendering to …

Bulletin No. 288 - Draingage And Irrigation, Soil, Economic, And Social Conditions, Delta Area, Utah Division 4: Social Conditions, Joseph A. Geddes, Carmen D. Frederickson, Eldred C. Bergeson

UAES Bulletins

This study is a part of a more comprehensive one which was organized in 1928 for the purpose of ascertaining what conditions existed in bonded irrigation and drainage districts which were unable to. liquidate obligations incurred.

The first such area to be studied was the Delta Area in Millard County. This area was selected for this study because of the pressing need for more detailed and wider information than was available to either the farmers or the bondholders and because available facts based on careful study might aid in achieving fairer settlements. These data might also assist other areas in …

A History Of Fifty Years: 1888-1938, Joel Edward Ricks

Joel Ricks Collection

For the past half century the Utah State Agricultural College has been making history without a history having been written. As the Semi .. Centennial year approached, the need of recording the outstanding events of the fifty years became imperative. This Institution, in the beginning, was established in the spirit of the Land Grant College Act of 1862-a spirit born in the gloom of military disaster and yet with rising hope and determination to preserve a Union which President Lincoln determined should "lift the burdens from the shoulders of all men." Each President of the College has stressed democracy and …

Bulletin No. 275 - Types Of Farming In Utah, Marion Clawson, Walter U. Fuhriman, George T. Blanch, W. Preston Thomas

UAES Bulletins

A large portion of the agriculture of Utah, outside of the desert range areas, is characteristically heterogeneous rather than homogeneous in character. Marked differences in size of farm, in crops grown, in livestock kept, in yields, and in farm organization occur within short distances. This diversity is due in large measure to differences in soil, elevation, topography, and other physical features and to climatic characteristics such as amount, kind, and distribution of precipitation and length of growing season. The physical and climatic features are the chief determinants of the amount of water potentially available for the irrigation of the crop …

Bulletin No. 269 - Farm Versus Village Living In Utah, Joseph A. Geddes

UAES Bulletins

This is the second of a series of bulletins based on a study of Utah village life which was begun in 1927.

Bulletin No. 257 - Factors Promoting Positive Health In School Children, Almeda Perry Brown

UAES Bulletins

It is necessary only to observe groups of rural children to become convinced that too many of them are deprived of their rightful heritage of positive health.

Why children playing together, working together, under conditions which apparently vary but little, should exhibit such wide variation in health conditions, is a question of vital importance to all concerned with the care of children.

It was with the hope of finding some of the causes behind these variations that the present study was initiated. That the problem is complex and intricate was fully realized, and no hope was entertained that its solution …

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.

Early Political Organization Of Cache County From 1856-1870, Margaret Woodside

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Mormons like all other pioneers of the West were desirous of spreading out and occupying the Territory which they had acquired. The policy of their great leader and colonizer, President Brigham Young, was to encourage these settlements and develop the land so that the State might take some part in the commercial activities of the country. "Utah grew up from a number of colonies sent out from time to time by Brigham Young and his council. These bands were placed under able and experienced captains. Hence the settlements and counties of the Territory at the outset grew up rather …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The dire consequences of nematode invasion have been graphically depicted by Spiegler (1907), who says, the beet industry was at its heyday during the seventies. Nor satisfied with the land already in cultivation, the farmer plowed fertile lands along the border of the streams, wherein to grow beets, obtaining in some cases of 20 to 27 tons an acre.

Circular No. 44 - The Agriculture Of Utah, F. S. Harris

UAES Circulars

Agriculture is so intimately related to all other industries that anything which affects the farmer reflects itself in all branches of business. The banker, the merchant, and the manufacturer must keep in touch with crop and livestock conditions of the country in order to foresee the tendencies of their own businesses. This is particularly true in a state like Utah which depends fundamentally on the products of the soil for its prosperity.

Numerous requests are received by the Experiment Station from prospective settlers living out side of the state for information concerning the agriculture of Utah. These have been kept …
