Circular No. 62 - Summary Of Publications
Circular No. 62 - Summary Of Publications
UAES Circulars
Circular No. 62 contains a summary of publications of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station issued since September 1925. The publications of this Station are no longer sent to a general mailing list (except in the case of libraries), but are sent. only on request. Therefore, copies of any of the publications listed will be sent without charge to those requesting them as long as the supply is available. However, in the case of abstracts of scientific and technical papers the supply is very limited and the requests for these should therefore be limited as far as possible only to those …
Bulletin No. 196 - The Fruit Tree Leaf Roller And Its Control By Oil Sprays, I. M. Hawley
Bulletin No. 196 - The Fruit Tree Leaf Roller And Its Control By Oil Sprays, I. M. Hawley
UAES Bulletins
When the fruit tree leaf roller is present in large numbers in an apple orchard it i the most destructive apple insect in the state. Fortunately, it is not a pest of general occurrence. Tho this insect is known to occur from Cache Valley south to Beaver, serious losses from its ravages have been restricted to occasional orchards within the infested territory.
Bulletin No. 197 - The Pear Leaf Blister Mite As An Apple Pest, I. M. Hawley
Bulletin No. 197 - The Pear Leaf Blister Mite As An Apple Pest, I. M. Hawley
UAES Bulletins
The blister mite is a pest of foreign origin, that has been in the United States for many years. It was introduced into this country, probably from Europe, sometime before 1872, and by 1894 it was rather general in its distribution thruout the United States and Canada. At the present time this mite is a serious pest of apples in many of the fruit-growing sections of Western America. The blister mite was first reported in Utah by Hedrick as early as 1898. During the last few years it has been abnormally abundant in some parts of Utah.
Bulletin No. 195 - Field Studies Of Sugar-Beet Nematode, George Stewart, A. H. Bateman
Bulletin No. 195 - Field Studies Of Sugar-Beet Nematode, George Stewart, A. H. Bateman
UAES Bulletins
The sugar-beet nematode has now become of importance in Utah. It occurs in spots in practically all of the older beet-growing districts and in a few parts of the state in much larger areas. The intensity of infestation varies from mere traces to nearly complete occupation. One of the areas of severe infestation in Utah on a large area is in the Lewiston district, of northern Cache Valley. The survey here reported was undertaken in order to find the extent of nematode infestation in Cache Valley and the possibility of its control by ordinary cultural practices.

Circular No. 60 - Seed-Potato Treatment: For The Control Of Four Common Diseases Rhizoctonia, Scab, Blackleg, Dry-Rot, B. L. Richards
UAES Circulars
Potato diseases are a constant menace to the Utah potato crop. During the 4-year period from 1920 to 1924 losses sustained from disease averaged 19.5 per cent, or approximately one-fifth of the entire state crop. This means that every year a large percentage of the seed planted is useless and that one-fifth of every acre planted to potatoes is wasted. Again, labor in the way of planting and in cultivation is used to poor advantage, and finally the grower suffers a direct financial loss which frequently eats up his expected profit.

Circular No. 59 - Control Of Stinking Smut Of Wheat With Copper Carbonate, B. L. Richards, A. F. Bracken
UAES Circulars
Stinking smut or bunt of wheat is an ever-present and destructive disease in the wheat fields of Utah. During the past season (1925) this disease was especially prevalent, causing losses in certain fields of from 25 to 50 per cent, not counting the loss to the grower in reduced grade of grain. In the threshing of smutty wheat there is also the risk of loss from smut explosion. Almost every season cases of this sort are reported. In addition of all of the wheat tested by the U. S. Grain Inspector at Logan for Northern Utah and Southern Idaho 30 …
