Bulletin No. 218 - The Alfalfa-Seed Chalcis-Fly In Utah: 1926-29, Inclusive, Charles J. Sorenson

UAES Bulletins

During the past 10 or 15 years alfalfa-seed has constituted the major crop in western Millard County and in most of that portion of the Uintah Basin which is situated in Utah. In these sections of the state various natural conditions generally have been favorable for seed production. Within the last five years seed growers have thought that one of the principal limiting factors of the industry has been the alfalfa-seed chalcis-fly. Accordingly, a preliminary survey in the seed districts of the state was made in the fall of 1925 by the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station.

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.

Parasites Of The Beet Leafhopper Eutettix Tenellus (Baker) In Northern Utah, Myles F. Bowen

Biology

The beet leafhopper, Eutettix tenellus (Baker), is undoubtedly the most destructive insect pest of the sugar-beet in the west. It was first noted as a pest of sugar-beets and observed as a vector of curly top disease of the sugar-beet by Ball in 1906. Since then various methods of bringing it under control have been tried but as yet no practical method has been discovered.

Some Economic Aspects Of The Silver Fox Industry Including A Brief Study Of The Economic Possibilities Of The Industry In Northern Utah And Vicinity, Duncan Wayne Henrie

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The question is often asked, does the production of silver fox fur pay? Being a new industry in this part of the country (1924 was probably the beginning) not much is known concerning the facts of the business by the average person. In the following pages an economic discussion of the factors of this industry will be given. To begin with a short history of the fur industry and fur farming is given, to give perspective and background, as it is only through the history of the past that we are able to judge the future.

The Use Of Chlorates For The Eradication Of Certain Perennial Weeds In Utah, Lionel Harris

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Perennial weeds have retarded agricultural progress, since their first appearance in cultivated fields. They have grown and survived the destructive efforts of the farmer and agricultural scientist, over a great period of time. Many farmers have become discouraged and much valuable land has lain idle because of this wasteful weed persistence.

These dismal consequences have stimulated constant effort at experimental stations to discover more effective methods of battling the pest. The use of chemicals has been one of the most prominent weapons and, of the most recent chemicals tried, the chlorates are the most promising.

The Spruce Gall Aphid Adelges Cooleyi (Gill) In Utah., Lagrande Stirland

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This paper is the result of research started on the Campus of the Utah State Agricultural College in the Spring of 1928. It is the intention of the writer to give the economic importance of the insect in the State; kind and extent of damage done by the insect, life history and control of the insect as far as it has been found.

The problem is not completed, nor is all the material included the results of the writer's own investigation. However, it has been the object of the writer to study forms as they exist in Utah, and to …

Principles Of Irrigation Farming As Developed By American Field Experiments, Prabh Dyall Sikka

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Irrigation is "the artificial application of water to the soil for the purpose of getting large and steady crop yields". It is supplementary to rainfall and the quantity of water applied and the time of application, therefore, must be determined by the character of the rainfall. Irrigation is usually practiced in those regions which have low rainfall as natural precipitation at such places is insufficient to meet the full water requirements of crops.

A Research Study Of Lamb Feeding In Winter Dry Lots At Monroe, Utah, 1928-29, George R. Henderson

By reason of the topography of the land, Utah is and probably will remain a livestock grazing state. As far as agriculture is concerned over 90 percent of the area is suitable for grazing only. This grazing range is used by cattle and sheep.

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 …

Bulletin No. 216 - Notes On Miscellaneous Insects Of Utah, Herbert J. Pack

UAES Bulletins

Doctor Pack, as station entomologist, was studying many problems, all of which could not receive constant attention. Consequently, much of the information recorded is far from complete but has value as a record of occurrence or as it bears on phases of the life history of forms present in this area. The following bulletin consists of notes on the various species of insects in Utah.

Bulletin No. 215 - Cost Reduction In Dry-Farming In Utah, P. V. Cardon

UAES Bulletins

Major economic influences, known to be affecting farming generally throughout the United states, are forcing the adoption of cost-reduction methods in dry-farming practice in Utah.

The methods of cost reduction that are being adopted include (a) cultural methods involving the control of weeds, preparation of the seedbed, the treatment of seed for the control of smut, and the use of superior strains or varieties of wheat, all of which are expected to reduce the cost per bushel by increasing the acre-yield; and (b) the more economical use of labor and equipment on the area farmed. The area farmed may be …

Circular No. 84 - Building Young Deciduous Fruit Trees, Francis M. Coe

UAES Circulars

The modern fruit tree in a commercial orchard, to survive in present-day competition, must bear heavy crops. The mechanical strength which determines whether it can hold its heavy load successfully or whether it will be broken down and become a liability to its owner is determined to a large extent by the training it has received the first two or three years after planting.
