Bulletin No. 234 - The Beet Leafhopper In Northern Utah, George F. Knowlton

UAES Bulletins

The first Utah sugar factory was erected at Lehi in 1891. Since that time many other factories have been built, and the growing of sugar-beets has become an important part of the agricultural program in many irrigated sections of this state. From almost the beginning, the tiny beet leafhopper, Eutettix tenellus (Baker), has threatened the very existence of this industry, and, in connection with the curly-top disease which it disseminates, has been responsible for the loss of many millions of dollars to the sugar-beet growers and sugar manufacturers of Utah. Poor prices, competition of other crops, sugar-beet nematode and crop …

Tuber Development In Triumph Potatoes As Influenced By Time Of Planting On Dry Land In Northwestern Nebraska, H. O. Werner

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Triumph potatoes were planted on four different dates during six years in order to determine the best planting date on dry land in northwestern Nebraska, where this variety is grown primarily for seed. Features considered in comparing the merits of these planting dates were: stand of plants; vine growth; disease prevalence; time of plant maturity; number, size, and shape of tubers; cracking at harvest time; prevalence and severity of common scab; total yields and yields of various grades of potatoes from various harvesting dates; weight loss in storage; and duration of the dormant period. The experimental aspects dealing with the …

Fertilizer Studies As Conducted On Muck Soil In Sanpete County, Utah, Lemoyne Wilson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The reclamation of muck soil is a new development in the state of Utah. Knowledge concerning the various properties and requirements of the newly-drained area in Sanpete County, Utah, is extremely limited. A need for fundamental information concerning this type of soil was the basis for the establishment of an experimental farm in this region. The fact that most organic soils respond to mineral fertilizers soon after they have been reclaimed was an important reason for starting fertilizer work on this soil as soon as it was possible to do so. This thesis reports some of the fertilizer work being …

Fertilizer Studies As Conducted On The Carbon County Experimental Farm With Special Reference To Treble-Superphosphate, Delos Zobell

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In 1927 an experimental farm was established in Carbon County, Utah. The farm is on a new irrigation tract south of the Price River and about four miles south of Price. The agricultural problems of the Carbon County Experimental Farm and the locality which it serves are distinctly different from those of most of the farming sections in Utah. The soil of this region is of a sandy, silty nature apparently with deflocculated colloids which make it somewhat difficult to manage. There is a low percentage of organic matter in this soil, and because of this and its impervious condition …

Circular No. 98 - Insects In Relation To Alfalfa-Seed Production, Charles J. Sorenson

UAES Circulars

Various insect pests have been suspected of causing the unsatisfactory alfalfa-seed yields that have been obtained in Utah during recent years. No specific information was at hand giving the amount and nature of the damage which these insects were suspected of doing.

Ecology And Relative Importance Of The Dominants Of Tall-Grass Prairie, J. E. Weaver, T. J. Fitzpatrick

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

This paper is the result of an intensive study of the vegetation of the prairie. The study extended over a period of ten years. It deals with the life histories, distribution, and relative importance of the dominant grasses in a central area of the tall-grass prairie. This area includes the grasslands of the western one-third of Iowa and those of approximately the eastern one-third of Nebraska. On the south it extends into Missouri and Kansas to the Kansas River. North- ward it includes a small portion of southwestern Minnesota and a larger one of southeastern South Dakota.

Indicator Significance Of Brush Lands For The Growth Of Western Yellow Pine, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

A study of unusual interest and significance in the application of ecological principles to the solution of an economic problem has recently been completed. It deals with the causes for the absence of western yellow pine in brush vegetation of various types that occur throughout the mountainous portions of northern Utah, eastern Idaho, and western Wyoming, and, in fact, form a much interrupted and fragmented belt whose center extends from the Gulf of California to west-central Montana. Many of these brush sites, especially in northern Utah and southern Idaho, lie immediately below the Douglas fir type (which is continuous) and …

Circular No. 97 - Growing Alfalfa-Seed, John W. Carlson

UAES Circulars

SEED SHOULD BE GROWN FROM SUPERIOR VARIETIES AND STRAINS OF ALFALFA

The present tendency in alfalfa improvement is to establish narrow types or strains for special purposes and which are adapted to a particular set of conditions. It was at one time thought that an alfalfa variety with numerous types of plants would have a wider range of adaptability to diverse conditions and that inter- crossing among the different plants would maintain the vigor of the variety.

Studies Of Prairie Hay In North Central Nebraska, F. D. Keim, A. L. Frolik, G. W. Beadle

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

During five years, 1924-1928, Nebraska ranked first among the states in the production of prairie hay. Approximately 2,500,000 tons were grown annually during this period. In acreage utilized, wild hay ranked third among the field crops of Nebraska. As a forage crop in the state, prairie hay ranked first in acreage, but second to alfalfa in production. The purpose of this bulletin is to report studies made of the botanical structure and yields of the native hay meadows during a period of four years, 1926-1929, in the most prominent prairie hay producing section of the state. Four counties in this …

Bulletin No. 233 - Observations On The Use Of Commercial Fertilizers On The Arid Soils Of Utah, D. W. Pittman, Clarence Burnham

UAES Bulletins

Only within the last few years has the question of commercial fertilizers been worthy of serious consideration in Utah. It has been considered that commercial fertilizers were unnecessary in Utah (1) because arid soils retain their virgin fertility much longer than soils in the humid region which are subject to continual leaching by heavy precipitation, (2) because livestock have always predominated in Utah's agriculture due to the vast areas adapted only to range purposes and livestock means manure to maintain fertility, and (3) because alfalfa, our principal feed crop, is also one of the best plants for gathering nitrogen from …

Anatomical Study Of Water Shoots And Ordinary Twigs, Dorothea I. Bingham

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Water shoots or long shoots are those which appear low on the trunks of trees, or about stumps of trees recently cut down. The ordinary twigs are those found at the ends of branches. Interest in the cooperative study of water shoots and ordinary shoots on trees was aroused by the very marked differences, even in a single years growth, in length and the diameter of two types. The former is greater in diameter , much longer, and with more nodes, longer internodes and longer leaves than the twigs which grew ordinarily at the ends of branches. The object of …

The Composition Of Soil Colloids In Relation To Soil Classification, Horace Byers, M. S. Anderson

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

For a period of approximately fifteen years investigators in the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils have been engaged in the accumulation of scientific data concerned with colloid material of the soil. During this period a large volume of accurate information has been secured which has been published in the form of bulletins and journal articles. So far as the Bureau publications are concerned, but little has appeared concerning theoretical aspects of the composition of the colloid. They have concerned themselves, for the most part, with methods of isolation and estimation, and determination of general physical and chemical characteristics.

The Ethnobotany Of The Acoma And Laguna Indians, George R. Swank

Biology ETDs

The Indian lives close to nature and utilizes the plants which grow about him, and these uses differ among various tribes. In order therefore to understand the ethnobotany of any group of Indians it is necessary to know something of their history, customs, mythology, religion and medicine. Hence in treating the ethnobotany of the Acoma and Laguna Indians the above phases of their culture will be discussed as they relate to these two pueblos.

Circular No. 96 - Crickets And Grasshoppers In Utah, W. W. Henderson

UAES Circulars

In the written history of Utah, especially that which is reflected in diaries and journals of the pioneer settlers and that found in the oldest publications, there is ample evidence that one of the most serious handicaps to progress in this "far-western" territory was the cricket and its near kinsman, the grasshopper. Three basic resources on which the first permanent settlers counted were: (1) Good soil suitable for raising crops to sustain life; (2) suitable climate to make possible the maturing of wheat, corn, and vegetables; and (3) sufficient water of good quality not only for home uses but for …

Who's Who Among The Prairie Grasses, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

For many years I have lived on the prairie, where I became familiar with the grasses. Each spring I have been delighted with their renewal of growth in watching the brown landscape of rolling hills become carpeted with green. Year after year, with the progress of the season, I have seen the changing aspects, which, with the coming of autumn, end in the wonderful coloration of the prairie grasses. But the prairie as a whole has seemed a somewhat elusive thing, difficult to visualize, not easy to describe, indefinite and extremely variable in its composition. This vagueness of understanding, I …
