Circular No. 91 - Establishing Snow Courses And Making Snow Surveys, George D. Clyde

UAES Circulars

The major portion of the annual precipitation in the semi-arid west falls as snow. It piles up in the mountains and forms the main source of the water in the creeks and rivers draining the mountainous areas. Some of these streams flow the year around while others and intermittent, flowing only as long as the snow in the mountains lasts. The water-supply for irrigation, power development, and municipal purposes is derived largely from winter snows. A knowledge of the extent of the snow cover and its water content is, therefore, necessary for the proper utilization of this great natural resource. …

Bulletin No. 223 - Feeding Value Of Alfalfa Hay Treated With Calcium Arsenate, H. J. Frederick

UAES Bulletins

For a number of years many tons of sprayed or dusted hay have been fed successfully to livestock by stockmen interested in controlling the alfalfa weevil; nevertheless. the supposed cases of poisoning that have been reported naturally have caused concern among feeders.

Further confusion on this question has resulted from reports on studies designed to determine the effect of lead arsenate instead of calcium arsenate.

Whether the lead in lead arsenate has been a more injurious agent than the arsenic, of course, is difficult to state. Most of the experiments performed in the feeding of sprayed or dusted hay have …

Bulletin No. 222 - A Quarter Century Of Dry-Farm Experiments At Nephi, Utah, A. F. Bracken, George Stewart

UAES Bulletins

Utah is naturally an arid state with precipitation varying from 3.71 inches at Wendover, located in the vast desert region on the western border, to more than 40 inches on some of the mountain ranges. Desert and mountain areas and other untillable land combined total about 95 per cent of Utah's land area. The remaining 5 per cent constitutes all the land which will yield to cultivation either by irrigation or by dry-farming.

Durinog the 76 years that dry-farming has been practiced in Utah, many change in tillage practices, cropping systems, crops, and crop varieties have taken place in keeping …

Circular No. 90 - Swine Production In Utah, Harry H. Smith

UAES Circulars

During the last 20 years there has been a marked change in the type of hogs from the short-legged, wide-bodied or "hot-blood" type to a longer, somewhat more narrow-bodied, "leggier" type. For development of size in hogs they must have (1) length and depth of body, (2) length of leg, and (3) large but not coarse bones. The long-bodied rather "leggy" pig grows rapidly and makes the larger hog. While the modern hog is still a lard hog, it is not as thick and broad as were its predecessors. It is logical to assume that the hog of the future …

Bulletin No. 221 - Snakes Of Utah, Herbert J. Pack

UAES Bulletins

For 17 years the late Dr. Herbert J. Pack, former Station Entomologist, made a study of the reptiles and amphibians of Utah. His original idea was to publish a comprehensive treatment of the snakes and lizards of his state, and whenever opportunity was afforded collected data on their distribution, habits, and economic importance. At the time of his death, on January 5, 1930, many notes and drawings of lizards were left; a manuscript on snakes, presented for his master's thesis to the Utah State Agricultural College in 1923, was also in his possession. Bulletin 221 contains essentially the information presented …

The buildings, grounds, and fences were built and furnished by the Agricultural Experiment Station.

The purpose of the contest is (1) to impress on the poultry raisers the importance of greater care in the selection of their fowls and in the value of proper feeding and housing, (2) to stimulate a greater interest in the …

Circular No. 86 - Coccidiosis Of Chicken, D. E. Madsen

UAES Circulars

Coccidiosis is a highly contagious disease of chickens and other fowls which is widespread and destructive, especially to half-grown chickens. The heaviest losses occur in chicks from 2 to 10 weeks of age. Just prior to and during their first laying season, pullets sometimes become affected with the disease in a chronic form. The cause is a microscopic protozoan parasite, the oocyst form of which is present in the droppings of diseased birds in large numbers. At least three species of the parasite have been recognized in fowls. The severity of the outbreak is thought to be determined by the …

Bulletin No. 219 - Twenty-Eight Years Of Irrigation Experiments Near Logan, Utah: 1902-29, Inclusive, D. W. Pittman, George Stewart

UAES Bulletins

Since 1902 irrigation experiments have been a major part of the research activity on the Greenville (Central) Experimental Farm near Logan, Utah. The experiments have been concerned mainly with the effects of different quantities of irrigation water, the minimum water requirement of crops, and the effects of different seasonal distribution of the water. This publication aims to give a brief summary of this work as it relates to crop yields as well as the more recent results up to and including 1929.

Bulletin No. 217 - Prices Of Farm Products In Utah, W. Preston Thomas

It Is the aim to analyze these price data in order to indicate the relationship existing between the various commodities and major enterprises. Through comparative price series an attempt has been made to present in tabular and graphic form a general picture of these enterprises for a series of years.

Bulletin No. 218 - The Alfalfa-Seed Chalcis-Fly In Utah: 1926-29, Inclusive, Charles J. Sorenson

UAES Bulletins

During the past 10 or 15 years alfalfa-seed has constituted the major crop in western Millard County and in most of that portion of the Uintah Basin which is situated in Utah. In these sections of the state various natural conditions generally have been favorable for seed production. Within the last five years seed growers have thought that one of the principal limiting factors of the industry has been the alfalfa-seed chalcis-fly. Accordingly, a preliminary survey in the seed districts of the state was made in the fall of 1925 by the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station.

The greater part of …

Circular No. 87 - Raising Dairy Calves, George B. Caine

UAES Circulars

Too much importance cannot be given to the number and kind of calves raised. The life of an average cow is 6.5 years. To maintain the present number of cows in Utah about 15,385 heifer calves should be raised annually. One-half of all calves born are males and are usually disposed of in a few weeks; the other 50 per cent are females from which selection must be made to maintain the herds. In many parts of Utah the number of dairy cows should be increased and probably the best way to accomplish this is to raise carefully selected calves.
