This area was selected for this study because of the pressing need for more detailed and wider information than was available to either the farmers or the bondholders and because available facts based on careful study might aid in achieving fairer settlements. These data might also assist other areas in …

Just at the edge of the city were "five acre lots to accommodate mechanics and artisans; next beyond were 10-acre lots, followed by forty and eighty acres, where farmers could build and reside."

These are the constant and dependable food-supply. They have been little studied hitherto. This bulletin is a report of a preliminary examination of some Utah streams, made for the purpose of discovering what forms of life are present in the streams and in what relative abundance. Some …
