Bulletin No. 143 - Fruit Tree Root Systems: Spread And Depth, A. B. Ballantyne

UAES Bulletins

As mentioned in Utah Station Bulletin No. 124, seepage conditions on the Southern Utah Experiment Farm were responsible for the removal of about 5 acres of vineyard in 1908, and 7 acres of mixed peach orchard in 1910, all of which were on the lower or western half of the farm.

These orchards and vineyards had always received good care, clean culture being practiced in fact as well as name. The results for a number of years were all that could be desired, when the trees and vines began to die questions arose as to the cause: since in spite …

Circular No. 20 - Capsule Method Of Breeding Mares, W. E. Carroll, J. Frederick

UAES Circulars

Some inquiry has been received by the State Board of Horse Commissioners relative to the capsule method of breeding mare. With the thought that a brief statement of the instruments used and the methods employed in the so-called capsule method of breeding might be useful to stallion men in general, this little circular has been prepared.

Ecological Investigations Upon The Germination And Early Growth Of Forest Trees, Richard H. Boerker

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

Briefly stated the purpose of the present investigation is to inquire into the effect of the more important habitat and seed factors upon the germination and early development of certain American forest trees in control cultures in the greenhouse for the purpose of obtaining data that may be used in the ~ilvicultural management of these species.

Note On An Interesting Case Of Two Generations Of A Parasite Reared From The Same Individual Host, Philip H. Timberlake

Th

In the course of investigations of Dinocampus americanus (Riley), a common Braconid parasite of many of the larger species of Coccinellids, conducted in relation to cereal and forage crop insects, several interesting features have developed, not the least important of which is the discovery that parasitism is not invariably fatal to the beetles.

Circular No. 19 - Licensed Stallions In Utah During The Season Of 1915, W. E. Carroll

UAES Circulars

In presenting this report of the State Board of Horse Commissioners, it is thought best to include very little which does not bear directly upon the number and distribution of licensed stallions and jacks. Other material treating different phases of the horse industry appears in other circulars from the Board.

A Genetic Study Of Plant Height In Phaseolus Vulgaris, R. A. Emerson

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

When pole and bush beans are crossed, 3:1 segregation results whether the pole bean is very tall or only medium in height and whether the bush bean is very short or relatively tall. To determine the interrelation of these two types of behavior by an analysis of the factors concerned in height of plants in beans and by a study of their mode of inheritance was the object of the investigations reported here.

Gongylonema In The Role Of A Human Parasite, Henry Baldwin Ward

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Summary

A specimen of Gongylonema, probably G. pulchrum, has been recovered from man. This species is normally a parasite of the pig.

Infection of the human host was brought about probably by the ingestion of larvae in the infective stage which had developed in some insect. Very likely the croton bug, known by experiment to be able to serve as intermediate host for this species, was the source of the infection which might readily occur by accident.

The presence of the parasite was accompanied by clinical symptoms indicating marked digestive and nervous disturbances, associated with anemia. These symptoms …

Circular No. 18 - Better Horses For Utah, W. E. Carroll

UAES Circulars

The two chief factors which determine the profits realized from the horse breeding business are the cost of production and the quality of the product put on the market. As land values increase, taxes automatically become higher, and this together with the increasing cost of labor, makes the feed and care given the horse more expensive. These factors are so completely independent of the horse breeder that he has little control over the cost of production. This statement is not intended to convey the idea that no account should be taken of costs, or that costs do not vary. Quite …

Below is given a table of the American genera, exclusive of Crelioxys, assigned by Ashmead to his subfamily Crelioxyinre. As Prof. Cockerell has long ago pointed out, these are not all closely related and must be split up into several groups, so my table is one of convenience only.

Bulletin No. 142 - Irrigation Of Peaches, L. D. Batchelor

UAES Bulletins

The writer took up the study of the irrigation of peaches in the spring of 1913 after being connected in a co-operative way with a similar problem during the years 1911 and 1912. The results which follow are primarily from notes taken during 1913 and 1914. Free access has been made, however, to notes taken on the similar problem noted above, when the author was associated with Prof. Walter McLaughlin in connection with a co-operative irrigation problem. Some of the results of 1913 were materially influenced by the treatment of the orchard in 1912.

Circular No. 21 - Dry-Farming In Utah, F. S. Harris, A. D. Ellison

UAES Circulars

It was only a few years after the settlement of Utah in 1847 that occasional attempts were made to raise crops without the use of irrigation water, but these first attempts usually resulted in failure. Not until in the sixties could any degree of success be claimed. About this time, farmers in the valley of the Great Salt Lake and in Cache Valley began raising crops regularly on land located above the canal. From then to the present time a measure of success has been enjoyed by the better dry-farmer in some sections, and hardly a year of complete failure …
