Farmers' Elevators In The Spring Wheat Area Of South Dakota; Business Operations, 1921-22 To 1930-31, R.E. Post
Farmers' Elevators In The Spring Wheat Area Of South Dakota; Business Operations, 1921-22 To 1930-31, R.E. Post
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
The object of the study is to find possibilities of lowering costs and improving operating practices in order that prices paid to farmers for grain might be as high as possible and elevator margins adequate for maintaining the business. Expenses; net income and economic profit, all in terms of per dollar sales or per bushel handled, are used as measures of operating effectiveness by which to analyze variations in elevator business units.
Oat Feed As A Substitute For Roughage, T.M. Olson
Oat Feed As A Substitute For Roughage, T.M. Olson
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
Because of drought and large number of grass hoppers in 1931 farmers in many sections of South Dakota were without adequate roughage feed for their livestock. The cost of shipping and handling roughages such as hays makes them rather expensive to ship any great distance. The problem, therefore, of providing roughage which would carry the livestock through the feeding season of 1931 and 1932 at a reasonable cost was a vital one. One solution to the problem was the use of oat feed which could be purchased in most sections of South Dakota at about the price of wild hay. …
The Results Of Twenty Years Complete Soil Fertility Tests Brookings, S. D., J.G. Hutton
The Results Of Twenty Years Complete Soil Fertility Tests Brookings, S. D., J.G. Hutton
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
This bulletin reports the results obtained from twenty years fertility investigations on Barnes sandy loam soil at Brookings, S. D. The three elements of plant food commonly applied in fertilizers-nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium- were used singly and in all possible combinations on two crop rotations including corn, wheat, oats, barley, and red clover. Phosphorus used alone gave a greater increase in yield for all crops than any other treatment, averaging 32.08 per cent more than the yield from the untreated soil for the entire period. The average increase in yield for all crops, following the application of phosphorus, was 1979 …

This bulletin gives the results of an experiment extending over a period of three years on the methods of feeding and the grain rations for fattening lambs.
The Growth And Decline Of South Dakota Trade Centers: 1901-1933, P.H. Landis
The Growth And Decline Of South Dakota Trade Centers: 1901-1933, P.H. Landis
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
Considerable interest has been shown in recent years in the future prospect for the small farm trade center. This interest has grown out of the threat of modern means of communication and transportation as well as that of the growing prosperity of the larger city to the welfare of the small town. Sociologists have approached the problem with a view to learning what is happening in various sections of the country, and on the basis of the knowledge acquired, being able to predict what the immediate future holds for the small town as a trade center and market for the …

The Germination Of Seed Corn And Its Relation To The Occurrence Of Molds During Germination, A.N. Hume, C.J. Franzke
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
Importance of vigorous germination in corn intended for seed has been emphasized for many years. More recently, within the present decade, not only vigor of germination has been emphasized but likewise the adverse effect of molds upon germinability has been freely asserted. One of the objects in beginning the present study was to get some information upon the question of whether the corn crop in such a new part of the corn belt as South Dakota was indeed affected by ear rots and root rots and similar organisms. A preliminary survey of a number of seed houses where seed corn …
