Bulletin No. 359 - Broiler Production In Utah: An Economic Analysis, Earnest M. Morrison, Thomas I. Gunn

UAES Bulletins

The production of broilers in Utah has become increasingly important in the last few years. Data are not available prior to 1950 but in that year the gross income from the production of broilers was $629,000. In 1951 almost one and a half million broilers were produced bringing a gross income of $1,322,000 to Utah producers.

With the rapid growth in recent years has come a demand for information about this new industry from producers, prospective producers, processors of meat and feed, agricultural leaders, and agricultural advisers. As with most new industries little specific information has been available concerning the …

Bulletin No. 353 - Effect Of Nitrogen Fertilizer On Yield And Protein Content Of Winter Wheat In Utah, Howard B. Peterson

UAES Bulletins

Winter what is one of the major crops of Utah. For more than 50 years winter wheat has been grown on the dry lands of the state. It is about the only crop grown on these lands under the usual alternate cropping and fallow system. Since 1941 acreage in the state has increased about 60 percent. Little or no manure is applied and only occasionally is a legume green manure turned under. It is apparent that with the original low supply of nitrogen in most of the soils of the state, together with the depleting effects of the common cropping …

Bulletin No. 354 - Marketing Of Chickens From Producer To First Handler Washington, Oregon, And Utah (1948-1949), Roice H. Anderson

UAES Bulletins

In 1949 the receipts from eggs and chickens amounted to 8.6, 6.0, and 13.2 percent of the total cash receipts from farm marketings in Washington, Oregon, and Utah, respectively. About three fourths of these receipts were from sale of eggs and one fourth from the sale of chickens. Receipts from chicken sales, while less important than from eggs, amounted to about 21.5 million dollars in 1949 in the three states. As would be expected, considering the importance of egg production in the three states, many of the chickens sold are cull layers and other chickens produced incidental to the egg …

The Teaching Of Science, Sherwin Maeser

Faculty Honor Lectures

Like to teach! Whether with the expectant, half-frightened freshman, the senior, worried about his preparation now that . he must get out and meet competition, or the graduate student interested in new discoveries, I like to work with all of them.

I have been teaching a long time now. As has always been the case when one generation is thinking of turning over its work to the next, I am glad to have the opportunity to talk about some of the things that I consider important in this job of teaching.

A Study Of The Craft Activities In Summer Recreation Programs In Relationship To Weber County, Utah, Leonard W. Glismann

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A quick observation in this modern world makes one realize the great problem of leisure time that is upon us. Man is working fewer hours and retirements are at a younger age. Now man finds himself poorly prepared to cope with the situation. In our schools today millions of dollars are spent teaching art, crafts, dramatics, music, and physical education in an attempt to train for leisure, yet we spend a comparatively little amount of money for continuing these activities in out-of-school hours.

The Uptake Of Iron By Bean Plants As Influenced By Age, And Calcium And Bicarbonate Ions In Solution Cultures, Michael Marcour

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Chlorosis of the foliage of higher plants has constituted a severe fertility problem in many areas of the world. It has been reported in no less than 30 countries. It has manifested itself in the western states and has usually been associated with a high CaCO₃ content in the soil.

This chlorosis does not always result from lack or unavailability of one of the essential elements, but can result from several conditions around the plant roots or psychological processes taking place within the plant. Both the absence of iron in the Boil and conditions which provoke its unavailability to …

The History Of The New Jersey-Logan Academy, 1878-1934, Harold Y. S. Loo

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The story of Presbyterianism begins, in general, with the story of Protestantism. Not many years after Luther's action in Wittenburg began a spiritual reformation, two men--Calvin and Knox--shared in the new form of Protestantism which was to come under the name of Presbyterianism. Largely by way of Scotland and England this denomination of Christianity moved into America early in the 17th century. When the United States government was formed officially in 1789, one man--John Witherspoon--was highly instrumental in the form adopted. Witherspoon was also a leader of the Presbyterian Church, and in that one year of 1789 he helped to …

Costs Of Marketing Cattle In Utah, Eugene S. Sanford

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In 1951 the cattlemen of Utah produced 126 million pounds of beef (2). Very few of these cattleman knew what their marketing costs were and what their marketing costs would have been if they had chosen some alternative method of marketing their cattle. The knowledge of what marketing costs are should be as essential to the individual cattlemen as his ability to feed, fatten, and care for his cattle. The marketing costs in the cattle industry in Utah are not generally known because they have not been compiled and made available to cattle producers. In this study the marketing costs …

Factors Affecting The California Quail Populations In Uintah County, Utah, R. Lynn Nielson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The California Quail is native to the coastal and semi-arid regions of California extending north into Oregon. Two subspecies are commonly recognized. the California Quail (Lophortyx californica brunnescens Ridgway), and the Valley Quail (Lophortyx californica californica Shaw). The two forms are very similar in coloration and habits and, for the purpose of this study, no effort is made to distinguish the two.

Social Status Of The Male Teacher In The Utah Rural Elementary Schools, Morris M. Miller

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Prior to 1820 the teaching profession in the United States was composed predominantly of men. However, with the opening of the American social and economic world to woman, the female teachers became more numerous, until at the close of World War II only about 6 percent of the elementary school teachers in the United States were men.

Zinc Deficiency In Soils As Affected By Soluble Phosphate, Glen E. Leggett

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Zinc deficiency in Utah is found in about 7 per cent of the orchards. The severity varies from minor cases to sever instances in which many of the trees have died. The areas where zinc deficiency is found are becoming more extensive as land cultivation continues.

The treatment of the disorder is expensive and must be repeated often, for it cannot be overcome by the addition of zinc to the soils. The soils in Utah seem to have ample zinc, but in areas where zinc deficiency occurs it apparently is in a form which is not available for plant growth. …

The Solution Of Boundary Value Problems By Use Of The Laplace Transformation As Compared With Classical Methods, Dan W. Stoddard

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this paper is to present a study of different methods of solving certain boundary value problems. In particular it will be concerned with solutions by classical methods and by operational methods. Of the various operational methods that may be considered, the Laplace transformation appears to be the best⁽¹⁾ and will be used in this paper.

In the 1951 Encyclopedia Americana Annual is this report on the activities in applied mathematics for the previous year:

Progress was made on the general problem of finding the eigenvalues of matrices and systems of differential equations. Considerable effort was also …

The Occurrence And Seasonal Activity Of Vertebrates In The Norris And Gibbon Geyser Basins Of Yellowstone National Park, Merrill David Beal

Biology

Studies upon which this paper was based were made during 1950-51. Daily field observations were made during the summer months, and periodic visits were made during the spring and fall. It was found that all of the vertebrates which inhabit the general locality of the study area were also to be found in the areas of hydrothermal activity These included five species of fishes, two species of amphibians, two species of reptiles, fifty-two species of birds, and thirty species of mammals. Many vertebrates were found to benefit from the secondary influences of thermal waters, which keep streams from freezing in …

Bulletin No. 348 - Cost And Efficiency Of Producing Canning Corn In Cache County, Utah, 1949, Earnest M. Morrison, Willis G. Kearl

UAES Bulletins

The canning corn enterprise is becoming increasingly important to the farmers of Utah. For two decades prior to 1940, the acreage used in canning corn production varied between 400 and 800 acres; however, it has increased from 600 acres in 1942 to 6,300 acres in 1949. This increase has been larger, both in percentage and in absolute amount, than for any other intertilled or orchard crop in the state during the same period of time. In 1949 the farm value of canning corn sold was $567,000. Peas and tomatoes were the only canning crops which exceeded it in value.

The purposes of this study on the management of irrigation and drainage enterprises in northern Cache Valley, Utah, are to assist farmers in the area and in other similar areas to learn the causes of their irrigation and drainage problems and to determine the best approach toward their solution. The bulletin first presents some of the general problems connected with irrigation and drainage organizations, and then discusses the problems of the local area, known as the Cub River area.

Life History Studies Of The Snipe Fly Atherix Variegata Walker, Wallace P. Murdoch

Biology

Atherix variegata Walker is a snipe fly (family Rhagionidae) of the Nearctic region associated with rapid streams in mountainous or semi-mountainous areas. Naturalists and sportsmen have frequently expressed interest in the large masses of eggs and females which can be readily observed in early summer on the undersides of bridges and on rocks and branches overhanging water. As one reads the fragmentary accounts of the biology of snipe flies it becomes apparent that a need for life history studies exists for most genera of this family. Although the life history of Atherix variegata is better known than that of many …

The Effect Of Common Contaminants On Cheese Starter, Ivan R. Miller

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Starter is the "heart" of the cheese making industry. Only by proper handling of starter can good quality cheese be made. The economic loss from contaminated starter may prove disastrous to a cheese plant if proper corrective measures are not taken.

Milk usually contains a variety of bacteria. Under plant conditions some of these bacteria get into the mother starter or bulk starter unless extreme caution is used. Comparatively little is known about how one organism influences another when grown in milk. This problem is important in the cheese industry.

A Genetic Study Of Complementary Genes For Purple Lemma, Palea, And Pericarp In Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.), John William Thieret

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In certain plants the expression of various characters depends upon the presence of two pairs of complementary genes in the individual. The striking feature of this situation is that two plants, phenotypically alike or similar but of different and appropriate genetic constitution, may, after crossing, produce progeny which are phenotypically different from either parent.

Studies Of The Dodder Transmission Of The Western-X Virus From Peach To Herbaceous Plants, Lewis G. Weathers

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Western-X disease is considered to be the most serious and destructive virus disease affecting peaches in the northwestern United States. The virus causing this disease in peach also infects chokecherries and most varieties of sweet and sour cherries. There is also evidence (13) that certain varieties of plums and apricots are susceptible. No information now exists to indicate that the virus occurs in plants outside of the genus Prunus. It is found that woody plants such as stone fruit trees are not particularly favorable plants for studying the virus. All attempts to isolate the western-X virus from woody tissue …
