The Effect Of Time, Quantity, And Kind Of Irrigation On The Yield Of Sugar Beets, Delos Boyd Archibald

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Investigations on factors affecting yield of sugar beets during the past two years at Newton and Garland, Utah, have shown two outstanding facts about irrigating sugar beets. First, the amount of water applied may not be as important as the time at which they receive it. Second, sugar beets should not be made to suffer for water in the early part of their growing season.

These observations suggest the need for further studies on method, time and quantity of irrigation. Further information on the most economical use of irrigation water for sugar beets would be of great value to the …

The Comparative Value Of Commercial Phosphoric Acid As A Fertilizer, Bruce L. Baird

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The practice of applying fertilizers to the soil by adding the liquid form to the irrigation water is increasing in popularity. There are several advantages maintained for such a method of application. Some of the advantages are:

(A) Ease of application.

(B) No special equipment is required for application.

(C) The fertilizer can be applied at any stage of plant growth without physical disturbance of the plant.

(D) Penetration into the root zone may be greater than the dry fertilizers.

Considerable phosphate fertilizer is used on soils of irrigated regions. If the behavior of liquid phosphoric acid after its incorporation …

Logging Methods And Peeling Of Aspen, T. Schantz-Hansen

Aspen Bibliography

The logging of forest products is influenced by many factors, including the size of the trees, density of the stand, the soundness of the trees, size of the area logged, topography and soil, weather conditions, the degree of utilization, the skill of the logger and the equipment used, the distance from market, etc. Each of these factors influences not only the method of logging but also the costs. The purpose of this paper is not to cover in detail the effect of each of these variations, but to deal with some of the major problems typical to logging aspen. Well …

The Preservative Treatment Of Aspen, Frank H. Kaufert

Aspen Bibliography

Aspen is one of our least durable woods and is known to deteriorate or rot rapidly under conditions favoring decay. Records on aspen used under moist and severe decay conditions have shown that serious decay and failure of the product may develop in three to four years. Some present and potential uses for aspen involving conditions favorable to decay and in which this lack of natural durability is a factor are: (1) fence posts, (2) railroad cross ties, (3) mine timbers, (4) planking for secondary bridges, (5) sills and other construction members in buildings, (6) the lower logs of log …

The Drainage Problem In The Lewiston Area, Utah, Sterling Davis

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Often where water is artificially applied to land, means must be provided for removal of some of this water. Too much water is just as bad as too little. The increased use of irrigation water in Utah has caused an increased need for drainage. Some irrigated lands are poorly drained. With high water table, yield of crops has been materially decreased, and with present drainage methods only a part of possible production had been attained.

A Study Of A Remedial Speech Program In Operation In Four Rural Schools In The State Of Utah, John O. Anderson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Recent speech surveys conducted in Box Elder County showed that approximately 17% of the elementary school children there had speech defects of such seriousness that they needed clinical attention.

A remedial speech program was organized and remedial speech training given at four schools in Box Elder County.

The purpose of this project was to study this remedial speech program, as it was in operation, in an effort to determine the feasibility and value of such a program.

Elements Of Personality Maladjustment Among Freshmen Students Entering Utah State Agricultural College, 1947, William R. Dobson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

For the past number of years, in attempting to diagnose maladjustment, psychologists have made and used a great number of tests. These tests have ranged from the simple question-answer test up to complicated projective tests. In any personality test an inescapable question is its validity. Especially is this question important in the so-called personality inventories where the person taking the test merely answers yes or no to a number of questions about himself. In this situation it is easy to see how a person could, if he wished, make himself appear to be "better" than he actually is.

A Comparison Of Speech Defects Found Among Pupils Of The Third To Sixth Grades Inclusive Of An Urban With A Rural Area In Cache County Utah, George F. Swenson

A Study Of The Need For Supervision Of Instruction In The High Schools Of Utah, Caseel D. Burke

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Supervision of instruction, in the schools of the United States, has developed through a long and arduous process to the position where it is today considered by our leading educators to be a vital part of the educational system. It has been used in varying degrees of intensity as a tool in helping education to achieve its goals, but seldom has it been utilized so energetically and so skillfully as to produce the best possible results. There is considerable evidence, that supervision, with its resultant beneficial effects, has been applied less vigorously in the secondary schools than it has in …

A Study Of Land Drainage By Pumping From An Experimental Drainage Well In The Delta Area, Utah, Ellaf Arni Olafson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Although it is now generally accepted that, in the west, irrigation and drainage are necessarily complementary practices, the realization has been slow in developing. Recent estimates indicate that about 8 million acres of land under irrigation in the 17 western states require drainage. For most irrigated lands a depth to groundwater of at least five to ten feet is desirable. Very high capital as well as annual maintenance costs would be involved in meeting this minimum requirement with the usual types of tile and open drains. Indeed, in most instances it cannot economically be accomplished. The purpose of this study …

A Curriculum Study Of The Biological Science Courses In The Secondary Schools And College Of Utah During 1947-48, Merrill H. Gunnell

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

At the present time there is a feeling among biologists in Utah that there should be improvement in biological science courses and course sequence to better fill the needs of the non technical student. There are many students filling group requirements with an accumulation of courses which may not provide them with the more important fundamental concepts and principles in biology. Information concerning these courses in high schools and colleges in necessary to provide a basis for curriculum revision in the field. Such information should be useful in evaluating the present system and suggesting modifications. Because of the need for …

Aspen For Core Stock, Arlie W. Toole

Aspen Bibliography

During recent years, aspen has been used in the Lake States region for a number of products. The war years in particular showed a marked increase in the use of aspen for pulpwood, box lumber, and many other wood products. The annual cut of aspen lumber in the region increased from approximately 67 million board feet in 1941 to 152 million board feet in 1946. In spite of this increased use, aspen still remains the only major tree species in the Lake States in which annual growth exceeds annual drain. It represents the major forest resource in this region that …

Mechanical Properties Of Aspen, R. P. A. Johnson

Aspen Bibliography

The clear wood of aspen has inherent properties of merit. Several of these properties are familiar to a large proportion of the general public, for some of the common types of matches are made of this wood. The requirements of wood for matches are exacting in that the wood must combine straightness of grain, ease of splitting, ease of working, and toughness To meet such rigid requirements, a wood must be suitable for other uses as well. The fact that aspen is not used more widely for other purposes lies not in the wood itself but in other factors, such …

Possibilities Of Managing Aspen, Paul Zehngraff

Aspen Bibliography

The management of aspen or popple (Populus tremuloides) has received little attention in the past, largely because of the former abundant supply of other and more valuable tree species in the Lake States. Be- cause of a rapidly expanding market for all forest products during the past decade, particularly during the war, the attention and ingenuity of industry have turned toward the use of aspen. As a consequence, aspen has now become one of the important pulpwood species in the Lake States, and is used for many other products. That it will retain its place for some time to come …

Thrips Species Infesting Tomatoes And Other Host Plants Of These Insects In Northern Utah, Darrell R. Maddock

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this study has been to determine which species of thrips infest tomato plants and fruits in northern Utah, and to find out which other plants occurring in this area also serve as hosts for tomato-infesting thrips.

Because of the importance of tomato-infesting thrips to the canning industry, it was decided that more complete knowledge of the species of thrips which are found on tomatoes should be obtained. Because most thrips generally have been difficult to control, it was believed that a general knowledge of the plants on which these thrips occur would enable tomato growers to eliminate …

Bulletin No. 320 - Soil Erosion In Small Irrigation Furrows, Orson W. Israelsen, George D. Clyde, Cyril W. Laurit

UAES Bulletins

This bulletin reports experimental procedure and data collected in a three-year study of the effect of irrigation furrow slopes and size of streams on the amounts of soil eroded from the furrows. Studies were made in 10 furrows on each of two farm experimental plots, the furrows being in different directions from a central water-stilling basin. The experimental plots were maintained fallow during the season--no crops were grown. Furrow slopes ranged from less than 1 percent to slightly more than 6 percent. Irrigation streams from 5 to 30 gallons per minute at the furrow inlet were measured first by means …
