Bulletin No 32 - Noxious Weeds And Poison Plants, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia

Bulletins 1 - 2999

Many settlers, new to this State, find some difficulty in distinguishing those vegetable pests which are classed as noxious weeds, the eradication of which is made compulsory under the Noxious Weeds Act of 1904.

In order to facilitate the ready recognition of the plants which are the least familiar, the Department of Agriculture has prepared this Bulletin, giving illustrations of the several varieties which have been gazetted as noxious. these are: - Stinkwort, Bathurst Burr, Noogoorn Burr, Nut Bramble, Spanish Radish, Prickly Pear, Apple of Sodom, sweet Briar, Wild Bramble, Star Thistle (purple), Double Gee and Water hyacinth.

Bulletin No. 106 - A Study Of The Production And Movement Of Nitric Nitrogen In An Irrigated Soil, Robert Stewart, J. E. Greaves

UAES Bulletins

The problem of maintaining the nitrogen content in our agricultural soils is one of vital importance to the development of a permanent system of agriculture. Any investigation, therefore, which tends to throw any light on the conditions which are necessary for maintaining the maximum supply of nitrogen in our soils needs no apology for its institution.

Bulletin No. 104 - The Storage Of Winter Precipitation In Soils, John A. Widtsoe

UAES Bulletins

It has been found that the production of one pound of dry plant substance on soils of average fertility, requires in humid districts not more than five hundred pounds of water, and in arid districts like Utah about seven hundred and fifty pounds. This indicates that the average rainfall of Utah, which is about twelve inches, if properly conserved in the soil, is sufficient to produce annually, without irrigation, from thirty to forty-five bushels of wheat to the acre, or corresponding yields of other crops. The realization of this truth has changed greatly our views of irrigation practices. The beginning …

Bulletin No. 46 - Earthen Dams, Samuel Fortier

UAES Bulletins

According to the last census, 92 1/2 per cent of the Utah farms are irrigated. The advancement of agriculture in this State mainly depends upon the water, the available supply of which, in many of the older settled localities of the State, is already wholly utilized during the irrigation period. The future reclamation of new lands in such localities must, therefore, wait on the development of new sources of supply from storage reservoirs, sub-surface supplies, or from a more economical use of the summer flow of the available streams.

From estimates and measurements made by the hydrographers. of the United …

Some Impurities In Drinking Water, George Weitbrecht

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The more we know about the causes of disease the more we are convinced that many of the ills that flesh is heir to come to us through germs that are transmitted through the air we breath, the water we drink and the food we eat. You are all familiar with the westward march of cholera among men and epizooty among animals. In surgical operations the danger is not from the operation, but from germs which are in the air and which get into the body through the wound, producing surgical fever, etc. Since Lester used the carbolic acid spray …
