Case Studies In Special Anniversary Editions Of Weekly Newspapers, Harry Horgan

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to show whether or not special editions, and especially anniversary editions of weekly newspapers, are a profitable venture for publishers. This will be gone about by taking each paper and pointing out in it the advertising that was secured merely for this one edition. Besides this the regular advertising that was increased for this issue will be pointed out. With the amount of extra advertising known, conclusions will be drawn as to which of these special editions were profitable and how much advertising is needed to make them so.

Extra-Curricular Activities In The Junior High School, Irma Crotty

Bachelors’ Theses

The value of extra-curricular activities in the junior high school is no longer questioned. The amount of space given to them in recent educational publications proves that there is an intense interest in them at the present.

This contribution is an attempt to set forth the basic principles underlying the administration and supervision of extra-curricular activities. A description of the common types of extra-curricular activities together with their aims and values, is presented. No attempt at detailed discussions has been made, as the problems of each activity are so vast that each one merits a volume in itself. A few …

A Thesis Submitted To The Faculty In Partial Fulfilment Of The Requirements For The Degree Of Bachelor Of Arts, Sister Mary Francis Borgia

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A Congregation of Colored Sisters in New Orleans! To those unfamiliar with the history of the Crescent City, this seems not only an impossibility. Was not New Orleans the slave mart of the South? Is not the color or race prejudice a traditional still adhered to? Is this Congregation in its infancy? If so, when was it founded and by whom? These, and many other questions of the same type are asked by tourists when they are informed that the building on Orleans Street, formerly the Orleans b ballroom, is the Convent of the Holy Family and the motherhouse of …

A Preliminary Study Of The Flora Of The Henry Mountains Of Utah, W. D. Stanton

Theses and Dissertations

The Henry Mountains from the standpoint of plant geography are among the most interesting in the Rocky Mountain Region for they are entirely surrounded by desert and their unique location results in an intermingling of southern , eastern , and northern forms in the flora of this vicinity . In spite of these facts very little collecting or floral study has been done here and the Henry Mountains are still almost unknown floristically . This is unfortunate for much of the original vegetation has changed due to overgrazing by sheep . This preliminary study was undertaken with the view of …

A Study Of The Rural Home On The Small Income In Utah, Thelma Huber

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It was early in the life of primitive man that he felt the need of a home to protect and shelter his family. This home, if he lived in the tropics, was a tree house or if he happened to be a mountaineer, a cave. In either case it consisted of one room only, where all the activities of the family group took place.

From this very primitive home we have a gradual evolution taking place until we have some of the convenient, well planned homes of today. They not only afford protection and shelter, but it is here that …

Influence Of Clipping On The Yield Of Forage In Certain Pastures At North Logan, Utah, Newel Washburn

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

"Pasture is the natural food of all domesticated herbivore, especially the ruminant, and the only single feed upon which it can be maintained in health indefinitely."

Pastures rank next to the alfalfa hay crop in total production of forage far livestock in Utah. For approximately five months each year pastures turnish the cheapest supply of feed available for dairy production. Their improvement and utilization to the best advantage as a source of valuable feed in Utah has been overshadowed by the abundance of alfalfa hay with its rich supply of minerals and high quality protein. There is a potentiality of …

Inheritance In A Wheat Cross Of Ridit X Utac, C. Leland Dalley

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Present-day plant breeding, on the foundation made many years ago, has achieved important scientific and economic results. By means of introductions and selections, superior strains such as Turkey and Kanred have been obtained. Through hybridization new combinations of characters result, combining desirable characters of different plant types in a single individual. In this program, wheat hybridization has occupied a worthy place.

Each year a number of wheat crosses are made at the Utah Experiment Station, the main purpose of which is to develop superior strains of wheat. Such an economic program is aided and hastened by studies in genetic behavior. …

Temperature And Atmospheric Humidity As Factors Influencing Seed Setting In Alfalfa, Lealand A. Clark

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

For many years seed growers have thought that definite relationships existed between seed production and the weather. When this subject is approached there is little unity of opinion, even among neighboring seed growers. This lack of unity would indicate that growers generally are aware of some cause which affects seed setting, but they are not certain that any particular condition of the weather is the chief contributing factor. Scientific writers¹ on the subject are also confident that weather is probably one of the major factors influencing seed production.

Inheritance Of Glume And Kernel Color, Of Awnedness, And Of Spike Density In A Cross Between Ridit And Sevier Wheat, Leslie W. Nelson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This paper is devoted principally to the presentation and discussion of the results obtained when certain contrasting characters were brought together in a wheat cross between Ridit and Sevier 59. this is one of the crosses made in an attempt to develop a wheat adapted to this region with the following desirable qualities: Bunt resistance, strong straw, hard kernels, and heavy yield. How near this ideal is approached in succeeding generations can be told only by extensive tests. The genetic study herein presented was made to hasten the time when some of the progeny of this cross may become of …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Due to the commercial importance of barley many hybridization studies have been prosecuted in an effort to produce superior economic strains.

A Study Of Different Methods Of Applying Ammonium Sulfate Alone And In A Complete Fertilizer, Clarence Burnham

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The beneficial effects obtained from the application of farmyard manure to the soil have long been known in Utah, but now the point has apparently been reached where it becomes evident that the supply of manure is hardly adequate in some sections where intensive cropping is practiced. The use of commercial fertilizers to increase crop yields is a new practice in Utah agriculture as is shown in Table 1 from an estimate made from data kindly furnished by the Columbia Steel Company, Anaconda Copper Mining Company, Ford Motor Company, Armour Packing Company, and Porter Walton Company.

Insane Criminal In Small And Large Courts, Bernice E. Starks

As we know there is no one at any time free from the danger of criminal attack both day and night. On considering the study of crime, there is nothing so baffling as the question of the mental responsibility of the criminal; that's why I am interested in trying to discuss what' we shall all the Insane Criminal By insanity is meant the loss of mental capacity. …
