Seeding Grass On Deteriorated Aspen Range, A. Perry Plummer, George Stewart

Aspen Bibliography

The herbaceous undercover on much of the aspen range in the Intermountain region is badly deteriorated. These areas, naturally highly productive, when revegetated can contribute greatly towards a much needed supply of range forage. One of the major obstacles to successful seeding has been the difficulty of getting the seeds covered with soil since both standing and fallen trees interfere with the use of drills, harrows, or other machinery. In the search for methods to overcome this difficulty, it was found that for open aspen stands the covering of seeds is unnecessary when the right precautions are taken in other …

Nutritional Status Of Some Utah Population Groups, Almeda Perry Brown

Faculty Honor Lectures

The science of nutrition is the science of life. Though man is still ignorant of the true nature of that elusive force we call life, he has learned by means of the discovered laws of nutrition how to preserve and prolong life as well as how to add to the satisfactions of living.

The emergence of the sicence of nutrition from the maze of superstition which for centuries clouded man's thinking is a fascinating story. A story, however, that arouses a feeling of regret that for so long a time man was willing to attribute to supernatural forces all phenomena …

Bulletin No. 310 - The Influence Of Cropping On The Nitrogen, Phosphorus And Organic Matter Of The Soil Under Irrigation Farming, J. E. Greaves, C. T. Hirst

UAES Bulletins

Most soils contain sufficient nutrients for normal plant growth, with the exception of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. These elements are used by plants in the largest quantities and the amounts of these in the soil govern its productivity. Soil organic matter is of prime importance for it is the matrix which holds the nitrogen and modifies the structure, temperature, and water-holding capacity of the soil. The organic matter is the very life of the soil, for it is in and on it that bacteria work and by so doing determine the kind and speed of reactions which occur. It is …

How To Reseed Utah Range Lands, A. Perry Plummer, Richard M. Hurd, C. Kenneth Pearse

Aspen Bibliography

Additional low cost forage is urgently needed by Utah's range livestock industry. Seeding of depleted tracts in accordance with recently developed methods and principles will help supply this forage and is entirely feasible. Where the value of the increased forage will repay the cost of planting, careful reseeding of selected sites is fully justified.

The important part that reseeding can play in restoring ranges to their former capacity has been demonstrated. Although satisfactory results can be obtained on many sites during average or better years, much more study is needed to insure consistent success in abnormal years and to extend …

Bulletin No. 305 - The Composition Of Sumer Range Plants In Utah, L. A. Stoddart, J. E. Greaves

UAES Bulletins

In Utah, a vast industry of livestock grazing, which is the backbone of the state's agriculture, has arisen during the past 75 years. Range land furnishes between 6 and 7 million animal unit months of forage to some 2 1/2 million sheep and 275 thousand range cattle. Income from meat, wool, and range livestock sales in Utah is about $15,801,500 annually, of which $11,700,000 is calculated to be obtained from range lands exclusive of cultivated pastures.

These range lands can be used economically in no other way than by grazing livestock and, because of heavy winter snows and protracted dry …

Bulletin No. 302 - Nutritional Inadequacy Of Beet Molasses Rations For Swine, Russel A. Rasmussen, Harry H. Smith, Ralph W. Phillips, Ton J. Cunha

UAES Bulletins

The feeding of large amounts of beet molasses to young hogs causes a condition that is characterized by a wobbly gait, and that is frequently fatal. Hog raisers have apparently recognized this condition for a number of years, since a number of farmers have reported it in their animals. Some farmers have also reported breeding failures and abortions when beet molasses was fed to brood sows. Consequently, beet molasses has not been considered a good hog feed by Utah raisers.

Beet molasses is a relatively cheap source of carbohydrates and could be used advantageously in pork production if the cause …

A Taxonomic And Distributional Study Of Simuliidae Of Western United States, George S. Stains

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Simuliidae, usually called black-flies or buffalo gnats, are abundant both as individuals and species in many parts of the western United States. The present study of this family was undertaken (1) because of the extensive annoyance caused to livestock, wild life, and man by the blood-sucking females, (2) because certain disease pathogens are known to be transmitted during the feeding process, and (3) because the species and distribution of these economically important pests are so incompletely known in the West.

A Survey Of The Incidence Of Trichinosis In Northern Utah, As Indicated By The Intradermal Skin Test And Post-Mortem Examinations Of Diaphragms, H. W. Merrill

Biology

Definition and History. Trichinella spiralis, the causative organism in trichinosis, and commonly termed the "trichina worm," was first known by its encysted larval stage in the muscles of man as early as 1821, when it was noted by Tiedemann in Germany, and again in 1828, when it was seen by Peacock of London. Mr. Paget, who was a student at the Saint Bartholomew Hospital in London, noted whitish specks in the muscles of an Italian, aged 45, who had died at the hospital. Suspecting these specks to be produced by a minute internal parasite, Mr. Paget gave portions of …

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 …

Experiments On Artificial Control Of The Strawberry Root-Infesting Weevils Brachyrhinus Ovatus (Linne) And Brachyrhinus Rugosostriatus (Goeze) In Northern Utah, Ray L. Janes

Biology

Strawberries In Utah have for many years suffered serious injury fron the larvae of root-infesting snout beetles. Injury caused by the two species, commonly called the strawberry root weevil, Brachyrhinus ovetus (Linne) and the rough strawberry root weevil, B. rugosostriatus (Goeze), is very similar, except that individuals of the latter and larger species consume more food and therefore cause more damage to infested plants for a given population. A third species, B. sulcatus (Fabr.), which is larger and more destructive then the others, has recently appeared in a few fields in Cache County. Beesune of the serious injury caused by …

Sexuality And Related Subjects In Ustilaginales (Smuts), William Vance Wright

Biology

The Ustilaginales represent a group of fungi which are all parasitic upon the higher flowering plants. The mycelium is hyaline, somewhate septate, mostly intercellular, branched, and practically restricted to the interior of the host. At maturity the mycelium often disappears, partially, at least, through gelatinization. The fertile mycelia becomes compacted into the masses which give rise to numerous chlamydospores. That is, the chamydospores develop directly from the mycelia. Upon germination, each chlamydospore sends out a short tube called a promycelium. From the promycelium are budded off sporidia, generally four. If the sporidia find logment on suitable host tissue, they germinate …
