Canning Corn Production: Cost And Net Return In Northern Utah 1962, Earnest M. Morrison, Guy A. Erikson

Utah Resources Series

Sweet corn for canning purposes has been grown commercially in Utah for more than 40 years. For two decades before 1940, the acreage varied between 400 and 800 acres. It increased from 600 acres in 1942 to 6,300 in 1949 and was down to 4,470 acres in 1959. In 1959, there were five counties in Utah where farmers grew more than 100 acres of canning corn. This accounted for 98 percent of all canning corn reported. Of these, Utah County had 2,468 acres or 55 percent of the total, Cache had 1,059 acres or 23 percent, Box Elder had 483 …

Calibration Of Irrigation Headgates By Model Analysis, Gaylord V. Skogerboe, Vaughn E. Hansen

Reports

Introduction

The purpose of this research project was to calibrate the slide gates used by the D.M.A.D. Company (Delta, Melville, Abraham and Deseret Irrigation Companies). These gates, which number more than 600, are located throughout the distribution system. Each gate is placed in a concrete box 4 feet wide, 3-1/2 feet deep and 4 feet long. The structure is used as a means of diverting the water and is also used as a measuring device.

A similar structure, but with a different type of slide gate, was calibrated in 1914. At the time rating tables were prepared which listed the …

Summary Of Surface Water Records In Utah To 1960, Preston L. Jones

Publications

This volume summarizes basic data regarding surface water measurements in Utah accumulated through the 1960 water year. It was compiled to fill the need for a ready reference from which some of the important characteristics of various streams could be ascertained quickly and easily. The information contained herein was evaluated and tabulated by personnel of the Utah Water and Power Board and the Engineering Experiment Station of Utah University under a continuing cooperative arrangement for studies concerning Utah's water resources. The information was summarized largely from the Water Supply Papers of the U. S. Geological Survey. More detailed information for …

Aerial Application Of Evaporation-Reducing Chemicals, Development And Evaluation Of Equipment And Techniques, C. Earl Israelsen, Vaughn E. Hansen

Reports

Aerial applications of both liquid and powder evaporation retardants have been made in parallel strips on large lakes for purposes of comparison. Films formed from powder spread more rapidly than did those from liquid, but usually both films ultimately spread to approximately equal widths and had the same degree of compression as determined with indicator oils. Evaporation retarding materials with large numbers of particles having diameters smaller than 75 microns are greatly affected by the wind. As the chemical is dispensed from the airplane. the fine particles drift with the wind and in some instances are carried onto the land …

The Site Of The Immune Reaction Against Eimeria Bovis In Calves And The Demonstration Of Antibodies By Immunofluorescence, Ferron L. Andersen

Biology

In 1959 Senger et al. reported that calves which had received a small oral inoculation of Eimeria bovis oocysts were later resistant to larger challenge inoculations. In an investigation on the mechanism of this immune reaction, Hammond et al. (1959) compared the number and size of E. bovis schizonts in immunized and nonimmunized calves, but found no significant difference in the results. They conducted 3 experiments using 28 young male Holstein-Friesian calves, and killed the majority of these calves for examination 17 to 20 days after the challenge inoculation.

The Effect Of Monosodium Glutamate As A Possible Mutagen On The Compound Eye Of Drosophila Melanogaster, N. Roger Hawkes

Biology

Phenotypes of Drosophila can be altered by subjecting developing larvae to changes in environment. Such environmental changes may be temperature shocks, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and chemically altered media. Most alterations in phenotype are not inherited, and may resemble the effects produced by known mutant genes. Such alterations are called phenocopies.

Bioassay Studies With Ddt On Utah Populations Of Codling Moth, Morteza Esmaili

Biology

The codling moth is known as one of the important persts of apple, pear, quince, walnut and several other fruits. It occurs wherever these fruits are grown and it is a serious limiting factor in all apple growing areas. The injury is caused by the larva which tunnels into the fruit, lowering its commercial value and making the fruit susceptible to infections from fungi and bacteria.

In Vivo And In Vitro Excystation And Description Of The Sporulated Oocysts Of Some Bovine Coccidia, Peter A. Nyberg

Biology

Excystation, as applied to the coccidia, is the mechanism by which sporozoites are released from sporocysts and oocysts. This process has been investigated both in vivo and in vitro, in poultry, rabbits, and sheep. Some work has been done with bovine coccidia, but excystation in vitro has not been reported.

Changes In Serum Proteins And Other Blood Values Associated With Ostertagia Ostertagi Infection In Calves, Jerome L. Mahrt

Biology

Parasitism causes large economic losses to the livestock industry. Included in this economic loss are death to the host animal, but even more important are the losses due to illness, reduced growth rate, decreased meat, milk, egg, and wool production and, in working animals, loss of working energy (Levine, 1961). Even rough estimates of this economic loss are difficult to make. The United States Department of Agriculture (1954) published a 10 year report (1942-1951) on the annual losses due to parasitism in the United States. According to this report parasitism caused an estimated loss to livestock and poultry of $79,532,000 …

Experimental Study Of Tissue Eosinophil Transformation, Ferrell R. Campbell

Biology

An increase in the number of eosinophilic leukocytes has long been recognized as an integral part of the cellular response of the body to parenterally introduced foreign proteins. Although the function of eosinophils is poorly understood, high eosinophil counts have been associated with the antigen-antibody reactions resulting either directly or indirectly from hypersensitivity.

A Morphological And Cultural Study Of Trichomonads And Other Flagellates Of The Bovine Digestive Tract, Emron A. Jensen

Biology

The trichomonads of the bovine digestive tract are incompletely known and the taxonomy of the described species is not clear. Two species, Trichomonas enteris (Christl) and T. bovis (Pavlov and Dimitrov) from the lower digestive tract of cattle have been described, although the descriptions in both cases were not complete. A species of flagellates of the rumen has been known since 1913; it has been called a trichomonad by some authors and a monocercomonad by others.

The Responsible Exercise Of Creative Power, Carlton Culmsee

Faculty Honor Lectures

ONCE last summer we stood. near the snow-white cascade flowing over the world's largest concrete dam, Grand Coulee, which is twice as high as Niagara Falls. We were alone in the gallery with the shafts that link the turbines to the dynamos. The nearest shaft appeared to be a pillar strong enough to bear half the burdens of humanity. It seemed to stand still and serene. Examined more closely, it revealed itself as spinning with perfect smoothness. For all we could see, we were alone in the eleven miles of passages inside the dam and powerhouse, alone with a cosmic …

The Secret Of Viral Reproduction, George W. Cochran

Faculty Honor Lectures

Nucleic acid is the basis of life. There are 2 types, ribose nucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA). DNA, the material found in the chromosomes within the nuclei of the cells of most living organisms, bears the genetic code that determines all of the characteristics of a living organism. Information from the DNA of the chromosomes is carried to all parts of the cell by one type of RNA called messenger RNA. Additional specialized RNA molecules are found inside the ribosomes, tiny bodies within the protoplasm that make proteins for the cell. Still other, smaller RNA molecules, called …
