Bulletin No. 300 - A Study Of Farm Organization By Type Of Farm In Sanpete And Sevier Counties, W. Preston Thomas, George T. Blanch, Edith Hayball

UAES Bulletins

This study is one of a series being conducted by the Department of Agricultural Economics which are designed to furnish a general description and a detailed analysis of the type of farming in various parts of Utah. The specific purpose of the general state-wide study is to: (1) locate and delineate the major type-of-farming areas of the state; (2) analyze and describe the major and some minor types of farming within each area; and (3) indicate the fundamental reasons for the principal differences which exist within and among these type-of-farming areas.

Upon the completion of the first part of the …

Bulletin No. 298 - Wool Scouring Tests In Utah, Alma C. Esplin, Ralph W. Phillips, Milton A. Madsen

UAES Bulletins

Wool, as it is shorn from the sheep, is known as grease wool. The first step in the manufacturing of wool is scouring, or removal of all grease and foreign matter. Within any given grade, as determined by length of staple and fineness of fiber, the yield of clean wool is the primary factor in determining the value of the original grease wool. The price of scoured or clean wool is multiplied by the percentage yield of clean wool to determine the value of the grease wool.

Bulletin No. 299 - Control Of Chlorisis In American Grapes, F. B. Wann

UAES Bulletins

The production of grapes is not a major agricultural industry in Utah, but in some areas of the state the crop is an important adjunct to the general fruit farm. This is particularly true in Washington County where European (vinifera) varieties are grown with considerable success, and in the north central counties where American (labrusca) varieties, especially Concord, are grown for the local markets. In this latter area the nutritional disease, chlorosis, is probably the most serious difficulty encountered in the development of a successful vineyard.

Bulletin No. 297 - Pale Western Cutworm, C. J. Sorenson, H. F. Thornley

UAES Bulletins

THE PALE WESTERN CUTWORM ( Agrotis orthogonia Morr.) has caused periodic damage to dry-farm grains in Utah during the past 25 years. In the spring of 1916, entomologists of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station were asked to determine the cause of large bare spots occurring in fields of fall-planted wheat in the Indianola district of Sanpete County. A moderately severe infestation of pale western cutworm was found to be the causative agent. Pack reported that during the spring of 1929 this insect had inflicted serious damage to fall wheat at Fairview, Sanpete County.

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 …

The Isolation Of Some Nonsymbiotic Nitrogen Fixing Organisms Occurring In Some Utah Soils, Richard B. Johnson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Plants require ten elements in appreciable quantity and several others in smaller amount for their continued and normal growth. Three of these necessary elements, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are most important because they occur in the soil in quantities which are usually small in proportion to that needed by the plants. Of these three, nitrogen is in most cases the limiting factor because of the ease with which it may be leached from the soil and comparatively large amount assimilated by plants. These factors coupled with the inhibiting high cost of artificially replacing it in the form of commercial fertilizers, …

An Economic Study Of Coal Mine Taxation In Utah, A. Lemar Hendrickson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A discussion of the subject of coal mine taxation seems timely and should be of much practical interest in view of the present depressed condition in which the coal industry finds itself. Coal production has developed into one of Utah's most important industries from the standpoint of quantity, value, and associated employment. It has become vital to the economic stability and security of the state. Coal producers, however, have encountered serious economic difficulties during the past two decades. The task of building up profitable industrial activities is one thing, the job of protecting and maintaining them is another matter.

Zinc Relationships Of Some Utah Soils, Wilford Derby Laws Jr.

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Recent reports from many parts of the United States indicate that the so-called zinc-deficiency disease is wide spread. It affects some varieties of trees in some areas and all varieties in other areas, and occurs from Florida westward to the Pacific coast and northward to the Canadian line. Although the disease is more prevalent in trees, it is also known to affect annual plants.

A recent survey of Utah orchards shows a wide-spread occurrence of little-leaf, a zinc deficiency disease, in fruit trees. The disease was found to be common on the upper sandy soils between Ogden and Salt Lake …

A Town Library In Action (A Study Of The Town Library As A Social Institution In Richmond, Utah, March 1939), Rulon S. Mccarrey

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Richmond lies on a rise of ground near the Wasatch range in the east central part of Cache Valley. In 1855 John Bair led a small party to the vicinity of Richmond to explore it. Four years later (1859) they returned and established homes. The community grew quite rapidly. In 1860 when Jesse V. Fox, territorial surveyor, made the first survey, 104 people claimed land. The first public building was a combination church and school house. A ditch connected with High Creek was built in 1860. In 1868 the village was incorporated with W. D. Hendricks as the first mayor. …

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.

An Evaluation Of The Health And Physical Education Programs In The High Schools Of Utah, Israel C. Heaton

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

During the past ten years there has been an increased evidence of the importance of health and physical education in the United States. Leaders in this field are attempting to establish physical education in its rightful place in the school curriculum. The Research Quarterly for October, 1936 says:

It (physical education) should be dignified by providing a definite curriculum content comparable to that in academic fields, as opposed to the traditional practice of merely giving a child exercise regardless of the medium envolved. (12, p.99)

The growth of health and physical education in Utah has been very slow. In 1908 …

Analysis Of Rocky Mountain Mule Deer Kill Records Of Five-Year Deer Removal From The Logan River Drainage Of Northern Utah, Wilmur Bartels

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Checking stations operated during the deer hunting season serve a two-fold purpose. It has long been recognized that such inspection stations aid greatly in the enforcement of hunting laws through the detection of illegal practices, and in many cases have been set up with this as a primary purpose. A more far reaching objective, however, is the collection of information to aid in the solution of the problems of maintenance of the range and the deer herd, and determination of the quality and quantity of the deer removal.

Married Students On The U.S.A.C. Campus, Donald L. Taylor

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Marriage is an ancient rite. No one knows when it started or all the stages of its evolution. But it has survived and is today a main concern of the majority of people.

When the European colonist came to America, they had no desire to change their folkways and mores concerning the family. In spite of this, a type of family developed in America that is different from any of its European predecessors.

Cambrian Stratigraphy In The Northern Wasatch Region, George Burke Maxey

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

An exhaustive field study of the Cambrian stratigraphy of the northern Wasatch region indicates that in addition to the Blacksmith Fork section there are two complete and better exposed middle and upper sections. Several other good exposures of the lower Middle Cambrian section have been studied in detail. The Spence shale is found to be a member low in the Langston, not the basal member of the Ute. Relative ages of the Spence shale and Ptarmigania faunas have been determined. Other Cambrian faunal zones have been discovered and are discussed. Paleontologic evidence suggests that the Nounan formation is of Upper …

A Study Of The Physiology Of Grape Roots And Stocks In Relation To A Lime-Induced Chlorosis, Eldrow Reeve

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The word chlorosis comes from the Greek "chloros" meaning light green and is used by plant science workers to designate a disease of plants, the characteristic symptom of which is the yellowing of the leaves.
