Genetic Studies Of The F3 And F4 Generations Of Sevier X Dicklow Wheat Crosses, Carl Frischknecht

Biology

In 1919 a number of wheat crosses were made at the Utah Experiment Station by Professor George Stevart, the purpose being to develop a superior strain of wheat for the intermountain region and to provide material for various genetic studies in wheat. While the data presented in this thesis are the results of genetic studies of the F₃ and F₄ generations of the Sevier X Dicklow grain crosses, mention is also made of several homozygous strains which as a result of this study are now being grown in yield tests and give promise of being superior to either …

The Effect Of Sulfur On The Microflora Of The Soil, J. M. Fife

Biology

Sulfur is one of the required elements for all plants and animals. Does the Greenville soil contain sufficient sulfur for the maximum bacterial activities when it contains only .0068 per cent?(7) It is the object of this paper to present data which has been obtained in trying to answer this question. The Greenville soil is an ideal media in which to study the effect of sulfur on the soil microflora due to the abundance of all the required elements with the exception of sulfur, and its most interesting microflora (6) (7).

A Study Of The Reading Habits Of Adults, Burton K. Farnsworth

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

For several years past, some of the best students of americancolleges have been graduating with a major in English; and have gone forth full of hope and enthusiasm to perfect the oral and written expression of Young America, and to implant in them a taste for, and an appreciation of, worthwhile literature. While there can be no doubt that the training of teachers has steadily improved, and the time allotted to the study of English has constantly increased; yet critics say, and people generally believe them, that young America is still untaught. These critics declare that altho our boys and …

Early Political Organization Of Cache County From 1856-1870, Margaret Woodside

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Mormons like all other pioneers of the West were desirous of spreading out and occupying the Territory which they had acquired. The policy of their great leader and colonizer, President Brigham Young, was to encourage these settlements and develop the land so that the State might take some part in the commercial activities of the country. "Utah grew up from a number of colonies sent out from time to time by Brigham Young and his council. These bands were placed under able and experienced captains. Hence the settlements and counties of the Territory at the outset grew up rather …

A Correlation Of Stability And Intelligence Tests, J. Byron Birch

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is my purpose in this paper to study the correlation between the results secured from the Army Alpha Intelligence test and the Star Mirror Stability test. I recognise the fact that intelligence is the most important factor in human conduct and therefore do not want to discount any reliable, objective intelligence test. It is admitted by most educators that there are other important factors in human conduct. Thorndike stated, "stability has a great weight in mentality". Goddard, in his work on Levels of Intelligence, at Princeton University, said, "I know there are other factors, but solve the X now …

The Alkali And Water Relations Of Atriplex Carnosa, A. R. Croft

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The question of alkali has many phases. Much work has been done on this important phase of soil science, particularly as it affects the agricultural products and native vegetation. These two phases of the subject naturally forced themselves upon men who tilled the soil for a livlihood and in late years thay have occupied the attention of many soil investigators. The reliability of this indicator value of native vegetation, (1) on a given soil has long since been established in a general way. This generalization has been used rather extensively in making a hasty survey of large possible agricultural areas. …

A Study Of Onion Varieties, A. L. Wilson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The object of this thesis is to present the results of four year's studies of onion varieties conducted by the author at the Davis County Farm together with a partial review of the literature of the subject, setting forth the history, the botany, the commercial importance and some of the varietal studies in other states and Canada.

The Possibilities Of City Manager Government For Utah Communities, George S. Bates

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Municipal functioning in Utah has been written about more or less from a theoretical point of view, but very little has been done by way of making careful surveys of city administration in the state. This is especially the case in so far as city manager government is concerned. The writer recognizes that a subject dealing with "The Possibilities of City Manager Government for Utah Communities" is very inclusive, and under other circumstances would possible be too broad in its scope for a thesis of this length. The study of city budget systems, or of municipal lighting in Utah, or …

Circular No. 54 - The More Important Insects Injurious To The Sugar-Beet In Utah, I. M. Hawley

UAES Circulars

Insects destroy many sugar-beets in Utah. In some years the incomes of the farmers of the state are greatly reduced because of the ravages of these pests. This circular has been written in the hope that the more important information about the insect pests of this valuable crop may be more readily available to the beet growers of the state.

The insects treated in this paper are grouped under two main heads. In the first division are included those insects affecting the tops or foliage of the beet. In the second division are those insects that feed on the roots.

Contributions From The United States National Herbarium, Volume 25: Flora Of Utah And Nevada, Ivar Tidestrom, Smithsonian Institution

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

The region embracing the States of Utah and Nevada is much diversified as to both topography and plant covering. Though lying wholly within the arid portion of the United States, it contains high mountains separated one from another by dry desert valleys or by table-lands. The region affords a highly varied topography, and its flora ranges from arctic to subtropical and from truly desert elements to the humid elements of the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada. With the one hundred and ninth meridian for its eastern boundary and the one hundred and twentieth for its western, the greatest breadth …

Bulletin No. 192 - Biennial Report Of The Director: For The Years 1923 And 1924

UAES Bulletins

No report (either annual or biennial) of the work of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station has been published separately since 1906. There has been so much inquiry regarding the present status of research projects that a brief report at this time is considered opportune. The report is an attempt to give the reader a brief but concise and comprehensive survey of the research work now under way at the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station as well as a brief description of the work being attempted on each of the experimental farms.
