Bulletin No. 370 - The Superb Plant Bug, Adelphocoris Superbus (Uhler): Its Life History And Its Relation To Seed Development In Alfalfa, Charles J. Sorenson, Lowell Cutler

UAES Bulletins

Infestations of the superb plant bug, Adelphocoris superbus (Uhler), in Utah alfalfa fields first came to the attention of entomologists of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station during their investigations of the seed chalcid and lygus bug problems of alfalfa seed production in the Uinta Basin from 1926 to 1934. Because of its occurrence in considerable numbers, particularly in first crop alfalfa fields with thin stands, the superb plant bug was suspected of interfering with seed development. Consequently an investigation of the activities of this insect was begun in the summer of 1932 and continued through that of 1933.

Elusive Documents

The accompanying report on the potential Henrys Fork project presents in reconnaissance scope the possibilities for further water resource development in the Henrys Fork and Sheep Creek Basins in northeastern Utah and southwestern Wyoming. The report is based on findings of recent investigations conducted during the past year although much of the available basic data used in the studies was obtained in previous intermittent investigations made during the past 50 years.

Bulletin No. 368 - Drainage Of The Cache Valley Lowlands, Willard Gardner, Orson W. Israelsen

UAES Bulletins

Now, slightly more than a hundred years since irrigation was first started in the West, many of the low-lying valley lands produce only poor quality pasture grasses because of waterlogging, salinity, and alkali. Other lands now produce only light crops of wild hay, and still other land areas are almost wholly non-productive because of the concentration of excessive quantities of harmful salts. This waterlogging is largely a result of irrigation on the higher lands, although rain and snow waters aggravate the situation. The water not used by the highland crops seeps into the lower areas, bringing harmful salts to the …

A Comparison Of The Effects Of Injected Radioactive Phosphorus And Gonadectomy On The Anterior Pituitary Gland Of The Albino Rat With Observations On The Thyroids, Adrenals, And Male Sex Accessories, Richard F. Preator

Biology

It is well known that the anterior pituitary gland exerts through its gonadotrophic hormones a definite stimulationg effect on the gonads and that the gonads in turn have a reciprocal endocrine effect on the anterior pituitary. This importance of the anterior pituitary to gonadal function was first demonstrated by P. E. Smith (34). Other prominent early workers who further elucidated the reciprocal endocrine relationship were Moore and Price (25). Following a great deal of study and experimental work by many groups, A. E. Severinghaus (32) correlated all available information and postulated the secretory cycle of the pituitary in relation to …

Biology

Phases In The Life History Of Strongyloides Papillosus, Alice I. Goldsby

Biology

The roundworm, Strongyloides papillosus, has long been known as a parasite present in the alimentary tract of sheep, cattle, and some of the other ruminants. In the past it has been considered nonpathogenic and of little economic importance. Recently a number of investigators have considered the possibility that this small parasite, which is embedded in the mucosa of the small intestine, might be overlooked by both veterinarians and those engaged in the sheep industry and as a consequence could possibly be more pathogenic than is generally accepted. With this point in view, an investigation has been made of the …

This research study and evaluation is based on educational philosophy that acknowledges the values of music education in the institutions of higher learning in the United States, also the place of instrumental music as a part of the music education program. There is, however, a feeling of controversy over the values and place of the football show band within the instrumental music program.

In the Rocky Mountain area, every college and university has a football show band. To many administrators and music educators, including band directors, it may seem that the importance of the show band has been exaggerated, and …

This study deals with the factors which were responsible for the origin of personnel functions in a selected group of industrial organizations in the State of Utah. Although material is available concerning the factors which affected the establishment of personnel functions in the United States in general, there is little information regarding these factors in any one region. For this reason, an area study should be of value.

The Adaptation Of The Neutron Scattering Technique Of Soil Moisture Determination To Field Application, Robert L. Uhler

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

At the present time there is a recognized need for a better means of measuring soil moisture in situ. Soil moisture measurements are required in fundamental studies of soil moisture flow and soil-plant-water relationships as well as in practical studies in irrigation practices. Various phases of engineering also utilize soil moisture data, for example, soil moisture determinations are made during the construction of earth dams, road cuts and fills, and under airfield runways. The desired method should be quick, reliable, and adaptable over the moisture range from oven dryness to saturation.

Student Management Practices In The Secondary School Shops Of Utah, U. Sterling Cheney

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Background

It is wrong to think that industrial education had its beginning recently. Merely because industry has made revolutionary changes and advancements during recent years does not mean that industrial education has not been in existence for a long time. Industrial education in some forms is probably as old as the human race.

In the development of industrial education it is interesting to note that both anciently and during modern times the emphasis has been placed on the value of handwork. The cave man's life depended upon his skill and ability to make and use the various types of primitive …

The Place Of The General Shop In The Industrial Arts Curriculum In The Secondary Schools Of Utah, Max E. Mckinnon

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The primary purpose of education is to develop happy and successful citizens. Industrial arts, being a phase of general education, should in every way possible contribute toward achieving this primary purpose. Because of the rapidly changing methods of industrial production and the increasing areas of industry, it is therefore necessary, that to keep abreast of this industrial advancement, industrial education must employ every possible means to justifiably incorporate these new industrial methods and products into the industrial education program.

It is the intention of the writer that this study will bring forth evidence of the practical usability of the general …

Determining The Extent, In Terms Of Behavior Growth To Which Industrial Arts Teachers In Utah Are Achieving The Objectives Of Industrial Arts, A. Kent Randall

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is evident that, if industrial arts teachers have subscribed to a set of objectives to guide or give direction to their teaching program, they should be used. It is not sufficient to formulate the aims then lay them aside to collect dust. Rather these aims or objectives should be used effectively as a learning guide. Upon these objectives the teacher should build his whole program.

It has been said that objectives really mean behavioral growth on the part of the students. If such is the case, the objectives must be translated into a desired behavior pattern outcome. The student's …
