Bulletin No. 234 - The Beet Leafhopper In Northern Utah, George F. Knowlton

UAES Bulletins

The first Utah sugar factory was erected at Lehi in 1891. Since that time many other factories have been built, and the growing of sugar-beets has become an important part of the agricultural program in many irrigated sections of this state. From almost the beginning, the tiny beet leafhopper, Eutettix tenellus (Baker), has threatened the very existence of this industry, and, in connection with the curly-top disease which it disseminates, has been responsible for the loss of many millions of dollars to the sugar-beet growers and sugar manufacturers of Utah. Poor prices, competition of other crops, sugar-beet nematode and crop …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Many factors affect the growth, nutrition, health and general well being of school children. It is necessary to secure data in order to study these factors and to determine, if possible, there relative merit.

The Design Of A Multiple Intake Drainage Well, Orville L. Eliason

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The reclamation of water-logged land by suitable yet inexpensive forms of drainage is becoming a problem of constantly increasing magnitude. A fairly large portion of the extensive land areas, once considered as worthless has proved to be valuable by the introduction of proper drainage systems. Land areas, in which drainage in its simpler forms has proved inadequate, could perhaps be made valuable were it possible to develop an inexpensive yet effective form of drainage.

This paper has been prepared primarily for a consideration of poorly drained land areas and a possible means of their reclamation by a suitable choice and …

Bulletin No. 233 - Observations On The Use Of Commercial Fertilizers On The Arid Soils Of Utah, D. W. Pittman, Clarence Burnham

UAES Bulletins

Only within the last few years has the question of commercial fertilizers been worthy of serious consideration in Utah. It has been considered that commercial fertilizers were unnecessary in Utah (1) because arid soils retain their virgin fertility much longer than soils in the humid region which are subject to continual leaching by heavy precipitation, (2) because livestock have always predominated in Utah's agriculture due to the vast areas adapted only to range purposes and livestock means manure to maintain fertility, and (3) because alfalfa, our principal feed crop, is also one of the best plants for gathering nitrogen from …

Bulletin No. 227 - Soft-Curd Milk, R. L. Hill

UAES Bulletins

Data on the early studies on the curd character of milk are found in Utah Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin 207 and, therefore, are not included here. The key to research in this field came to light with the development of the "Hill Test," the results of which were first published in 1923. This test furnished a means of quantitatively measuring the difference in curd character of various milks.

The term "soft-curd" milk originated with R. L. Hill to describe milk which on coagulation with pepsin or rennin forms a curd that is soft and clabbery in consistency, differing widely from …

A Study Of The Rural Home On The Small Income In Utah, Thelma Huber

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It was early in the life of primitive man that he felt the need of a home to protect and shelter his family. This home, if he lived in the tropics, was a tree house or if he happened to be a mountaineer, a cave. In either case it consisted of one room only, where all the activities of the family group took place.

From this very primitive home we have a gradual evolution taking place until we have some of the convenient, well planned homes of today. They not only afford protection and shelter, but it is here that …

Inheritance Of Glume And Kernel Color, Of Awnedness, And Of Spike Density In A Cross Between Ridit And Sevier Wheat, Leslie W. Nelson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This paper is devoted principally to the presentation and discussion of the results obtained when certain contrasting characters were brought together in a wheat cross between Ridit and Sevier 59. this is one of the crosses made in an attempt to develop a wheat adapted to this region with the following desirable qualities: Bunt resistance, strong straw, hard kernels, and heavy yield. How near this ideal is approached in succeeding generations can be told only by extensive tests. The genetic study herein presented was made to hasten the time when some of the progeny of this cross may become of …

Bulletin No. 224 - Muck Soil Investigations: Progress Report, Sanpete County Experimental Farm 1927-30, Inclusive, Le Moyne Wilson, George Stewart

UAES Bulletins

The estimated area of muck or peat soil in Utah is approximately 21,000 acres. The muck occurs in many valleys of Utah. The largest areas are in the Sanpete and Utah Lake Valleys. The area in the former is estimated at 6500 acres and the Utah Valley area at 9000 acres; the other areas, all more or less significant in size, are scattered throughout the state.

Investigations reported have been confined entirely to the Sanpete area which is located near the south and bottom end of the valley and is west of the towns of Chester, Ephraim, and Manti. During …

Circular No. 93 - Better Sugar-Beet Culture For Utah, George Stewart, D. W. Pittman

UAES Circulars

Utah was one of the first states to begin sugar-beet growing. The industry grew rapidly, favored by the climate, by the naturally productive soils, by the freedom from pests, and by the system of intensive irrigation agriculture. California and Utah were among the leading beet-producing states at the time of the World War, and under the stimulus of high prices they remained so until the great depression of 1920. After that, the frequent occurrence of curly-top and the rapid spread of nematode, together with the low price resulting from increased cane sugar production in the tropics and from other causes …

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 …

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.

Circular No. 85 - Chlorosis Yellowing Of Plants: Cause And Control, F. B. Wann

UAES Circulars

Chlorosis is a disease of plants, the characteristic symptom of which is the yellowing of the leaves. The disease is of sporadic but widespread distribution in Utah and the aggregate losses caused by it are undoubtedly greater than those of any other one disease. Not only are many plants killed, or weakened to such an extent that only inferior crops are produced, but many areas of land which might otherwise support profitable orchards have been abandoned or planted to other crops because of the disease.

A Study Of Bull Associations, Arthur J. Morris

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

"A cooperative bull association", according to the United States Department of Agri culture, is "a farmers' organization formed for the purpose of joint ownership, use, and exchange of high class, purebred dairy bulls."

The members of the association are divided into three or more groups of neighboring farmers, each group being known as a block. A block may consist of one herd or several herds and contains from 40 to 60 cows. One bull is used in each block, and in order to prevent inbreeding, each bull is moved to another block every two years. If all the bulls live …
