The Relation Of Light To Soil Moisture Phenomena And To Water Transmission In Plants, Leon B. Linford

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

An attempt was made in this laboratory to measure the pressure or capillary potential of soils by a vapor pressure method. The experiment was carried out by placing small cans of soil in dessicators with solutions of known vapor pressure in the bottom. These dessicators were immersed in a constant temperature water bath. It was hoped that by this method the vapor pressure of the soils could be determined and the pressure potentials calculated as will be explained in a later part of this paper. The results were disappointing because the wet soils in dessicators over pure water dried out …

A Study Of The Reading Habits Of Adults, Burton K. Farnsworth

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

For several years past, some of the best students of americancolleges have been graduating with a major in English; and have gone forth full of hope and enthusiasm to perfect the oral and written expression of Young America, and to implant in them a taste for, and an appreciation of, worthwhile literature. While there can be no doubt that the training of teachers has steadily improved, and the time allotted to the study of English has constantly increased; yet critics say, and people generally believe them, that young America is still untaught. These critics declare that altho our boys and …

The Possibilities Of City Manager Government For Utah Communities, George S. Bates

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Municipal functioning in Utah has been written about more or less from a theoretical point of view, but very little has been done by way of making careful surveys of city administration in the state. This is especially the case in so far as city manager government is concerned. The writer recognizes that a subject dealing with "The Possibilities of City Manager Government for Utah Communities" is very inclusive, and under other circumstances would possible be too broad in its scope for a thesis of this length. The study of city budget systems, or of municipal lighting in Utah, or …

The Alkali And Water Relations Of Atriplex Carnosa, A. R. Croft

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The question of alkali has many phases. Much work has been done on this important phase of soil science, particularly as it affects the agricultural products and native vegetation. These two phases of the subject naturally forced themselves upon men who tilled the soil for a livlihood and in late years thay have occupied the attention of many soil investigators. The reliability of this indicator value of native vegetation, (1) on a given soil has long since been established in a general way. This generalization has been used rather extensively in making a hasty survey of large possible agricultural areas. …

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 …

A Correlation Of Stability And Intelligence Tests, J. Byron Birch

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is my purpose in this paper to study the correlation between the results secured from the Army Alpha Intelligence test and the Star Mirror Stability test. I recognise the fact that intelligence is the most important factor in human conduct and therefore do not want to discount any reliable, objective intelligence test. It is admitted by most educators that there are other important factors in human conduct. Thorndike stated, "stability has a great weight in mentality". Goddard, in his work on Levels of Intelligence, at Princeton University, said, "I know there are other factors, but solve the X now …

Circular No. 54 - The More Important Insects Injurious To The Sugar-Beet In Utah, I. M. Hawley

UAES Circulars

Insects destroy many sugar-beets in Utah. In some years the incomes of the farmers of the state are greatly reduced because of the ravages of these pests. This circular has been written in the hope that the more important information about the insect pests of this valuable crop may be more readily available to the beet growers of the state.

The insects treated in this paper are grouped under two main heads. In the first division are included those insects affecting the tops or foliage of the beet. In the second division are those insects that feed on the roots.
