Bulletin No. 72 - A Soil Survey In Salt Lake Valley, Utah, Frank D. Gardner, John Stewart

UAES Bulletins

Beginning in July, 1899, four months were spent in a thorough and detailed study of that portion of the Salt Lake Valley lying west of the Jordan River, the object being to map the soils with reference to their character and to the extent of, and damage from, "alkali" and seepage waters. The soils were classified according to their texture, and the waters examined with reference to their quality for irrigation purposes. The soils were further studied with reference to their "alkali" content and its effect in varying amounts upon the crops and vegetation. The methods of irrigation were looked …

During the summer of 1897 the writer was enabled to make, with the help of his assistants, T. H. Humpherys, A. P. Stover, and W. D. Beers, a number of experiments on the carrying capacities of irrigation ditches and canals. The funds necessary to carry on these investigations were provided by the U. S. Geological Survey and the Agricultural Experiment Station of Utah. Shortly after the field work was completed the writer resigned his position with the College to accept that of chief engineer and superintendent of the Ogden Water Works and the Bear River Canal System, and his time …

Bulletin No. 70 - Experiments In Pork Production, Luther Foster, Lewis A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

Pig raising in Utah has not as a rule been considered a profitable branch of the live stock industry, especially as usually practiced on the farm, and up to within the past few years the growing of more pork than was used at home was the exception, but since creameries and cheese factories have come into existence, creating a large by-product of skim milk and whey, cheap and valuable. pig foods, when properly used, the business has made a healthy growth.

Bulletin No. 69 - The Golden Vine Field Pea: Its Chemical Composition And Forage Value, John Stewart

UAES Bulletins

For some time past the Division of Agrostology has been conducting investigations in various parts of the United States with a view to the preservation of our native grasses, the introduction of new varieties, and the improvement of the ranges. The investigation in Texas, where the once fine ranges have been seriously injured or totally destroyed on account of the greed and carelessness of stockmen, is an important one.

In his last report, the Secretary of Agriculture recommends that provisions be made for renting the public lands, suitable for grazing purposes, to stockmen and sheepmen for a number of years. …

Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.2-4, William H. Ashmead

An

To this subfamily belong the giants of the family, although many species in it are of moderate or insignificant size. Here belong the "Tarantula Killers," or Pompilids, belonging to the genus Pepsis, large, brilliantly-coloured species, often with fiery red wings, or blue or black wings marked with white or red, etc., that prey upon the genuine Tarantulas and other large species of spiders.

Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.1, William H. Ashmead

An

In the CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, during the year 1898, I gave a series of papers on the classification of the horntails and sawflies, representing the superfamilies SIRICOIDEA (Xylophaga) and TENTHREDINOIDEA (Phyllophaga); while the past year, 1899, I gave a classification of the entomophilous wasps, or the superfamily SPHECOIDEA (incorrectly spelt Sphegoidca). The present year, 1900, with the permission of the Editor, it is my intention to give a similar series of papers on the classification of the superfamily VESPOIDEA, a large natural group, representing the genuine fossorial wasps, the papermaking wasps, potter wasps, and the predaceous, inquilinous and parasitic wasps.

Bulletin No. 66 - Corn Experiments, Luther Foster, Lewis A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

A number of varieties of flint and dent corns have been successfully grown at the Experiment Station for the past ten years. A sufficiently large number of kinds have been under test to prove beyond question that all of the best flint varieties, the smaller dents and the semi-dents will fully mature in the locality of the Experiment Station, the extreme northern portion of the State; but the climatic conditions cannot be considered as especially favorable to corn growing, the seasons being rather too short and the general temperature too low for the medium and larger dents to be successfully …

Bulletin No. 67 - Poultry Experiments, James Dryden

UAES Bulletins

The results of the third year's work in egg production at this Station, together with the summing up of the results of the three years, are given herewith. The third year's work began Nov. 7,1898, and ended Nov. 1,1899. Some of the experiments originally planned have run the full period of three years. In addition to a continuation of the original work a set of feeding experiments was conducted during the third year. This latter work was made possible by the erection of an addition to the poultry house which doubled the experimental capacity of the building and made possible …

Report Upon The Aculeate Hmenoptera Of The Islands Of St. Vinvent And Grenada, With Additions To The Parasitic Hymenoptera And A List Of The Described Hymenoptera Of The West Indies., William H. Ashmead

An

HAVING done so much work on the Terebrant Hymenoptera of St. Vincent and Grenada, it was with consider-able pleasure that I received, early in June 1807, a letter from Mr. George Murray, informing me that it was the desire of the West Indies Natural History Exploration Committee to transmit to me, to be worked up, the Aculeate Hymenoptera collected by Herbert H. Smith in these islands; that in a few days he expected to leave on an exploring expedition to the South Seas to be gone all summer, and if I could do the work to send my reply to …

The co-operative experiments in sugar beet culture for the past season were confined to the farmers of Sanpete and Sevier counties. They were carried on in conjunction with an organization formed by the citizens of the two counties and known as the Sanpete-Sevier Sugar Company. This association was organized at a delegate convention, held at Gunnison Feb. 17, 1899, which was composed of the representatives from all of the principal settlements in the two counties. Bishop Christian A. Madsen, the chief promoter of the movement was chosen president of the company, Mr. C. A. Short secretary, and Mr. Thomas Kearnes, …
