Bulletin No. 238 - Lamb-Fattening Experiments In Utah, E. J. Maynard, A. C. Esplin, S. R. Boswell

UAES Bulletins

This bulletin includes the results of Station Project 99-Fattening Lambs in Winter Drylot-which was begun at Monroe on November 15, 1928, and at Delta on November 13, 1929. The experiment was conducted for a period of four years at Monroe and for one year at Delta. Messers Alma and Milton Magelby of Monroe were closely associated with the Monroe experiment, furnishing the yards and the lambs as well as the feed used; the Monroe Lamb-feeders Association also cooperated in conducting this experiment. During the period that the Delta test was under way, Mr. J. F. Roe furnished the yards, the …

Bulletin No. 242 - Drainage Of Land Overlying An Artesian Ground-Water Reservoir: Progress Report, O. W. Israelsen, W. W. Mclaughlin

UAES Bulletins

Certain tracts of land in the West formerly used to produce grain and forage crops now produce only pasture grasses of comparatively low quality because of the water-logging and alkali accumulation which has occurred since irrigation was begun. Other tracts now producing only light crops of wild hay probably would produce profitable crops of alfalfa and clover, provided the water-table were lowered and the water-logged and alkaline condition of the soil removed. Still other areas are almost wholly nonproductive because of the concentration of excessive quantities of harmful alkali salts.

Knowledge concerning (1) the causes of water-logging, (2) economical methods …

Bulletin No. 239 - Wet Beet Pulp Compared With Corn Silage In The Dairy Ration, George Q. Bateman, George B. Caine

UAES Bulletins

Wet beet pulp coming as a by-product from the sugar-beet industry in Utah is fed in varying amounts to dairy cows. Corn silage is also used to make up part of the dairy ration. Conflicting statements as to the value of the one feed as compared to the other indicated the need of more knowledge as to the value of pulp as compared to silage in the dairy ration. For this reason a study of the problem was initiated in February, 1926.

Bulletin No. 237 - Panguitch Livestock Experimental Farm Progress Report, B. F. Hulme

UAES Bulletins

The Panguitch Experimental Livestock Farm is located three miles north of Panguitch, the county seat of Garfield County. Prior to 1909 it was held by the United States as an Indian school. In 1909 the United States Congress transferred title to the State of Utah. Two years later, in 1911 , the Utah Legislature decided that this property should "be used as an experiment station in connection with the Agricultural College of Utah ...", and control was vested in the Board of Trustees of the Utah State Agricultural College.

Bulletin No. 236 - The Manufacture Of Cheese From Soft-Curd And Hard-Curd Milks, R. L. Hill, A. C. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

Little investigational work has been conducted on the effect of the hardness of curd of milk on the quality, quantity, and commercial value of cheese.

In July 1930, a preliminary report from the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station was made on these researches. This report indicated that for the manufacture of cheese hard-curd milk was far superior to soft-curd milk. This research is a continuation of that project.

Hard- and soft-curd milk used in the tests reported was obtained from Holstein cows. The fat content of each milk was practically the same. While the difference in curd hardness between the soft- …

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 …

A Study Of The Seasonal Growth, Diet And Health Status Of Fifty School Children In Monticello, Utah, Martha C. Eagar

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 …

Alfalfa Seed Production In Millard County, Utah As Related To Soil Type, George Whornham

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Alfalfa has a wide range of adaptability as a forage plant, but the areas in which it will produce seed successfully are extremely limited. These sections are confined almost exclusively to the arid or semi-arid regions of the world. In all other areas it is primarily a question of seasonal fitness. The extreme localization may be further emphasized by the fact that within the highest producing counties there are appreciable areas of land not suitable for seed production.

Fertilizer Studies As Conducted On Muck Soil In Sanpete County, Utah, Lemoyne Wilson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The reclamation of muck soil is a new development in the state of Utah. Knowledge concerning the various properties and requirements of the newly-drained area in Sanpete County, Utah, is extremely limited. A need for fundamental information concerning this type of soil was the basis for the establishment of an experimental farm in this region. The fact that most organic soils respond to mineral fertilizers soon after they have been reclaimed was an important reason for starting fertilizer work on this soil as soon as it was possible to do so. This thesis reports some of the fertilizer work being …

Fertilizer Studies As Conducted On The Carbon County Experimental Farm With Special Reference To Treble-Superphosphate, Delos Zobell

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In 1927 an experimental farm was established in Carbon County, Utah. The farm is on a new irrigation tract south of the Price River and about four miles south of Price. The agricultural problems of the Carbon County Experimental Farm and the locality which it serves are distinctly different from those of most of the farming sections in Utah. The soil of this region is of a sandy, silty nature apparently with deflocculated colloids which make it somewhat difficult to manage. There is a low percentage of organic matter in this soil, and because of this and its impervious condition …

Circular No. 98 - Insects In Relation To Alfalfa-Seed Production, Charles J. Sorenson

UAES Circulars

Various insect pests have been suspected of causing the unsatisfactory alfalfa-seed yields that have been obtained in Utah during recent years. No specific information was at hand giving the amount and nature of the damage which these insects were suspected of doing.
