Enjoyable Jobs For Leisure Hours, Mary A. Covert

SDSU Extension Circulars

Leisure in the home is not so much a matter of wealth or time as it is a matter of attitudes. It must be recognized as one of the essentials of homemaking if it is to share a place of relative importance in the home program. All work and no play does more than make one dull. It robs one of physical poise and beauty. It impoverishes the soul. Time spent in playing and doing interesting things outside of essential work recreates both soul and body. It gives a feeling of personal growth which is essential to contentment. It builds …

Better Rations, More Eggs, Greater Profits, W. C. Tully

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars

Summary
Feeding Hens for Egg Production
The chief interest of poultry raisers is to receive a reasonable return from their investment over the costs of stock, housing, feeding, and labor. Proper feeding alone will not do this, as successful poultry production depends on four major essentials, together with many minor ones. These major essentials are:
(1) birds bred for egg production, or good breeding
(2)good housing
(3)proper feeding
(4)sanitation and management
Reasons for Feeding
(1) Maintenance, repair of body tissues, storing of fat.
(2) To supply heat and energy.
(3) For reproduction, or egg production.

Homemade Yeast Bread, Susan Z. Wilder

SDSU Extension Circulars

Each homemaker will have to decide whether it is economy for her to bake or buy bread. The fancy breads from the bakery are more expensive than the plain bread. They can be made with very little more time than that required to make plain bread. To determine the cost of making it 'is necessary to keep a record of the cost of the ingredients and fuel. The difference between this and the value of the finished product figured at market price will give the amount saved. At present prices about one-half the cost can be saved on plain bread …

Breads In Foreign Lands, Susan Z. Wilder

SDSU Extension Circulars

Many of the-American fancy breads are foreign breads or adaptations of them. The following observation on breads and other foods in foreign lands was made by the author during a visit to the British Isles and European countries in the summer of 1930. The English breakfasts are similar in some ways to the American. Cooked fruits, green or purple plums, pears, peaches and gooseberries are frequently served for breakfast. The cooked fruit is placed on large plates instead of small sauce dishes. Sometimes fresh fruit only is served. The waiter wheels in a cart with dishes of different kinds of …

Your School Lunch, Susan Z. Wilder

SDSU Extension Circulars

Boys and girls of fine physique are always admired. They are well, alert and eager to do their work and play. You want to be like them. Eating the right kind of food every day will do more than anything else to help attain that desire. You can make a start by studying these foods at school at lunch time. Not all boys and girls make a fine appearance. Reports from 1600 homes in South Dakota indicate that 20 per cent of the boys and girls in these homes have had repair work done on their teeth, that 21 per …

Music Appreciation Programs For Rural Clubs, Harry L. Kohler, Susan Z. Wilder

SDSU Extension Circulars

Music appreciation consists of two essentials, listening to and actual participation in musical expression. Both involve musical experience. Music can hardly be thought of as something to be talked about or taught. It must be experienced. The most musical community is that community which has made music a vital experience in the life of its people. This can be brought about in the rural communities of South Dakota.

The neighborhood enlarges. Friendship between neighbors is a natural development if people are normal and kindly. It is easy for persons living in the same town or on adjoining quarter sections of land to understand each other’s problems for similarities in background, experience and every 'day living make for tolerance, understanding and a true spirit of helpful neighborliness. Due to the general use of the automobile, people have widened their circle of contacts in recent years and no longer remain in one locality. Country and town people have so intermingled that any apparent differences due to varying opportunities have broken …

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. …

Selecting Hens For Egg Production, O. J. Weisner, W. C. Tully

SDSU Extension Circulars

Experiments recently conducted by poultry investigators of the United States Department of Agriculture point out that neither the shape of a hen’s body nor the shape of her head bears any relation to her egg production. Apparently a hen’s ability to lay depends upon egg laying ancestry. The purpose of this experimental work was to find out whether or not a hen’s ability to lay could be estimated form her external appearance. The results of this work indicate that it is practically impossible to select breeding stock in poultry from the standpoint of high egg production by outward appearance, or …

Motor Truck Transportation In Western South Dakota, F. T. Hady

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars

Motor truck transportation has sprung into prominence with great rapidity during the past few years. Likewise the problems of this type of transportation of agricultural commodities have taken on increasing importance during this period. This report deals with only one phase of the problem of transportation of agricultural commodities in the state of South Dakota. The report logically divides itself into three parts. The first deals with the increasing use of motor trucks in the area covered by the study. The second part deals with a somewhat detailed study of the hauling of crops in the trade territory of one …

Farm Women's Markets, A. M. Eberle, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

This circular is written in response to the many requests regarding the organization and operation of farm women's markets. There is no satisfactory outlet for the surplus that farm women have to sell after family requirements have been satisfied. However, the women feel that this extra amount should be turned into cash as good use can be made of the money. This “pin-money" as it is often called, is many times about all that is available for some of the things the family needs. In normal times, this extra money is used for improving the home and many times is …

Mortgage Loans On Farm Real Estate In Clark County South Dakota, 1910 - 1930, G. Lundy

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars

Purpose of Study.-This circular dealing with conditions in Clark County is part of a larger research project involving also a study of the farm mortgage situation in the counties of Brookings, Hyde, Haakon and Turner. Ever since the post-war deflation began in 1920 the farm credit problem has been more or less acute. This is an inevitable result of falling prices after a period of inflation such as that brought on by the World War. Because the bulk of the farm credit is based on real estate mortgages it has seemed particularly appropriate and timely to try to determine at …

It has not been possible to analyze thoroughly each problem considered. Such conclusions as …

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 …
