Annual Report Of The Extension Division For The Year Ending June 30, 1920, C. Larsen, W. Kumlien, H. Dawes, P. Scarboro
SDSU Extension Circulars
The past year has been filled with unusual activity and interest along the different phases of agricultural extension work. The demand for the services of the different extension workers has greatly increased, so much so, that it has become a problem as to how their time may be best assigned so as to accomplish the most.
Extension work is based upon cooperation. The counties, state and government cooperate in finding the problems and in solving them. Some of these agricultural and rural problems may be solved in the local community; others need the assistance of the whole county; other problems, …

Boys' And Girls' Club Work: Dairy Clubs, C. Larsen
SDSU Extension Circulars
Dairy clubs under proper leadership are organized by and for the boys and girls, having for their object:
1. The elimination of inferior dairy cattle.
2. A means of income to the boy or girl.

5. To demonstrate the superiority of good purebred dairy cattle.
6. To emphasize the importance of dairy products in the diet.
Not all dairy clubs will attain all of these objects in a single year. The work is arranged so that it may be carried on for a number of years, …
Septic Tank For Sewage Disposal On The Farm, R. Patty
Septic Tank For Sewage Disposal On The Farm, R. Patty
SDSU Extension Circulars
The purpose of this little circular is to show the plan for constructing an efficient, and inexpensive septic tank for the disposal of sewage from the farm home. If properly installed this tank will need no attention whatever except the removal of the greater part of the sludge every three or four years. If a larger plan of the tank is desired, it may be obtained in blueprint form for five cents (to cover the cost of the blue print paper) by addressing the Extension Division of the South Dakota State College, Brookings, S. Dak.
A Servicable Farm Barn, R. Patty
A Servicable Farm Barn, R. Patty
SDSU Extension Circulars
There is a great demand for a plan of a general barn suitable for a South Dakota farm of from a quarter to a half section of land. Not only are old buildings being replaced but a very great number of larger tracts are being divided into separate farms and entire sets of new buildings are being erected. These facts, more than any others, probably account for the large number of requests received by the Extension Division for such a plan. The plan presented in this circular, we believe will best meet this need.
Potato Seed Certification In South Dakota, F. Mccall
Potato Seed Certification In South Dakota, F. Mccall
SDSU Extension Circulars
The introduction of dangerous potato diseases, (notably powdery scab and black wart); the Federal grade regulations, and the demands of many states that potatoes for propagating purposes be certified, as to purity and freedom from diseases, has aroused unusual interest in the standardization of potato shipments from the various northern potato growing centers. Early in 1919, the potato growers of the state felt an urgent need for definite lines of potato improvement. Accordingly, a plan for inspection and certification of potato seed stock was inaugurated. This move was entirely voluntary on the part of the· potato growers and was placed …

A Suggested Farm Entrance Sign For Advertising Purposes, R. Patty
A Suggested Farm Entrance Sign For Advertising Purposes, R. Patty
SDSU Extension Circulars
With the great increase in the ·number of farmers who are adopting names for their farmsteads there is an accompanying desire for the erection of appropriate sign boards, entrance signs or other devices of advertising value. The accompanying sketch and working plan are intended to show what may be done with ordinary building materials in erecting a sign that has good lines. Farmers who contemplate the putting up of two posts and a straight cross board may find in this suggestion something worthwhile. If the sign is worth erecting at all, why not put up one that is attractive? Many …
The Community Meat Ring, J. M. Brander
The Community Meat Ring, J. M. Brander
SDSU Extension Circulars
Fresh meat regularly and at reasonable prices” is what a rural community in Douglas county has adopted as its slogan. To have fresh meat whenever desired from farm butchered livestock is too often considered practically impossible on account of the rather limited amount of fresh meat that a family could use before the meat spoils. To get it regularly from a butcher shop involves added time aside from the fact that very high prices are charged. The salting, curing, smoking, and other methods of meat preservation are practiced to a certain extent by farmers throughout the country, but supplies of …
The Balanced Garden, F. Mccall
The Balanced Garden, F. Mccall
SDSU Extension Circulars
The body needs protein, carbohydrates and fats in a quite well defined ratio. This ratio can be most easily provided if balanced meals are served. It will be much easier to serve balanced meals if the foods containing the proteins, the carbohydrates and fats are produced in or near the right proportions. If the garden is depended upon for the bulk of the food supply, then the varieties grown should be selected upon this basis.
