Bulletin No. 260 - Oat Varietal Tests In Utah, R. W. Woodward, D. C. Tingey

UAES Bulletins

The United States Census Report for 1930 shows that approximately 25 per cent of Utah farmers were growing oats at that time. Leading counties in oat production were Sanpete, Utah, Emery, Cache, and Weber, each of which produced over 100,000 bushels. Sanpete County produced over 200,000 bushels, whereas Boxelder, Sevier, Duchesne, and Salt Lake Counties produced slightly less than 100,000 bushels each.

Bulletin No. 258 - Alfalfa-Seed Investigations In Utah, John W. Carlson

UAES Bulletins

For many years alfalfa-seed production problems have engaged the attention of investigators in various parts of the world. Those factors which are regarded as of greatest importance in seed-setting are general climate, current weather, air humidity, soil moisture, and insect relationships within the various alfalfa-seed districts. Some attention in research has been given to pollen fertility and ovule sterility, as well as to general flower dynamics in relation to environmental conditions. Efforts have been made to develop strains of alfalfa having pollen that is resistant to injury by moisture or having self-tripping flowers or autogamous strains of alfalfa whose flowers …

Bulletin No. 262 - Comparative Yields Of Spring Wheat Varieties In Utah, D. C. Tingey, R. W. Woodward

UAES Bulletins

Wheat was one of the first crops grown by early Utah settlers. It has since occupied an important place in the agriculture of the state. While wheat is almost the only crop grown successfully on dry-lands, it is also important under irrigation. Thirty per cent of the wheat acreage of Utah in 1929 was spring-sown, which produced 44 per cent of the state's production. Eighty-seven per cent of the spring wheat acreage was grown under irrigation, this acreage producing 92.3 per cent of the total spring wheat crop. Thirty-eight per cent of Utah farmers were growing spring wheat in 1929; …

Bulletin No. 263 - Relative Produciton Of Feed Grain From Spring-Grown Cereals In Utah, R. W. Woodward, D. C. Tingey

UAES Bulletins

Nearly one-third of the cropped acreage of Utah is devoted to cereals. Except for wheat, most of these crops are fed locally. In addition to this, an average of over a million bushels of corn, barley, and oats is shipped into the state each year to be used in various livestock and poultry industries.

The purpose of this publication is to show the comparative amount of feed produced by the different crops--wheat, oats, barley, and corn--under similar conditions as determined for the specified four years by acre-yields obtained in various agricultural regions of the state. One should bear clearly in …

Bulletin No. 261 - Barley Varietal Tests In Utah, R. W. Woodward, D. C. Tingey

UAES Bulletins

In 1929 approximately one-fourth of the farmers of Utah were growing barley, with an average of 6.3 acres to the farm. Cache, Sanpete, Sevier, and Utah Counties each produced over 100,000 bushels. According to the United States Fifteenth Census Report (1930), Davis, Millard, Morgan, Rich, Salt Lake, and Weber Counties each produced from 40,000 to 70,000 bushels.

Bulletin No. 256 - Drainage And Irrigation, Soil, Economic, And Social Conditions, Delta Area, Utah: Division 2: Soil Conditions, D. S. Jennings, J. Darrel Peterson

UAES Bulletins

Project 90-A Study of Factors Influencing the Financial Condition of Certain Utah Irrigation and Drainage Projects-was undertaken in 1928 as an intensified study of local areas. This study was divided among four departments, with a project leader for each particular phase of the study. These four project leaders, guided by the Station Director, have constituted a committee in immediate charge of this project. Subprojects and their respective leaders are: A-Engineering and Engineering Economic Aspects, O. W. Israelsen; B-Soil Productivity Aspects , D. S. Jennings; C- Contributing Sociological Aspects, J. A. Geddes; and D-Economic Aspects, W. Preston Thomas.

Bulletin No. 253 - Cherries Of Utah, Fancis M. Coe

UAES Bulletins

In the production of cherries, as with all fruit plants, growers are dealing with clonal varieties which are individuals, and as such differ from each other in their characteristics. Since these characteristics vitally affect the value of each variety and returns from its culture, the importance of complete information on these characteristics for a given region is evident.

All varieties now grown, unfortunately, have faults or fail to reach the ideal in one or more important characters. They may lack size, productivity, hardiness, or quality. They may lack vigor or be susceptible to diseases and insects. They may ripen at …
