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

Circular No. 94 - Control And Eradication Of Bang's Abortion Disease, D. E. Madsen, W. H. Hendricks
Circular No. 94 - Control And Eradication Of Bang's Abortion Disease, D. E. Madsen, W. H. Hendricks
UAES Circulars
The seriousness of Bang's abortion disease in Utah has made it necessary to promote more definite plans toward its control and eradication. The economic losses encountered are brought about not only through the loss of the calves but by the lessened milk production and lessened sale value of the animals themselves. Breeding efficiency is lower and such cows are more subject to udder infections. Many states now require that cattle shipped into them be negative to the abortion test; indications are that more states will adopt similar regulations. The passage of such regulation by some states would seriously interfere with …
Circular No. 93 - Better Sugar-Beet Culture For Utah, George Stewart, D. W. Pittman
Circular No. 93 - Better Sugar-Beet Culture For Utah, George Stewart, D. W. Pittman
UAES Circulars
Utah was one of the first states to begin sugar-beet growing. The industry grew rapidly, favored by the climate, by the naturally productive soils, by the freedom from pests, and by the system of intensive irrigation agriculture. California and Utah were among the leading beet-producing states at the time of the World War, and under the stimulus of high prices they remained so until the great depression of 1920. After that, the frequent occurrence of curly-top and the rapid spread of nematode, together with the low price resulting from increased cane sugar production in the tropics and from other causes …

Circular No. 92 - Torrential Floods In Northern Utah
UAES Circulars
On account of the recurring nature and the destructive character of the floods which have devastated property in Davis County and elsewhere in recent years, it appeared advisable to make a special study of the situation, I, therefore, in 1930, appointed a commission of citizens whom I deemed especially qualified, including practical engineers, geologists, foresters, and stockmen, asking them "to study the origin and cause of floods in Davis County and other parts of the state, and to ascertain whether any flood prevention measures are feasible".
