Fun Along The Road To Recovery, Donald Clayton
SDSU Extension Circulars
Lengthy sick bed confinements can mean hours of boredom. When the hours drag on tediously, the mind and emotions do things which doctors agree may hinder convalescence. Anyone caring for the sick knows that enforced idleness can make the patient restless, irritable, and unreasonable. And sometimes; even after the patient recovers, this attitude continues with lasting effect.

SDSU Extension Circulars
The South Dakota Farm and Home Development Program is a family approach to farm planning with better family living as the end objective. Farm and home development differs from other methods of planning in that the farm family considers its problems as a whole, rather than on a piecemeal basis. This is achieved through careful study and selection of alternate choices in searching for solutions to problems. Decisions are based on needs and desires, farm and family resources, economic trends, available markets and credit, and the supply of capital and labor. Farm and home development is not a custom built …

Meet Music, Marvel Labrie
SDSU Extension Circulars
"Confidentially, this long-haired stuff is not for me. I don't really know a thing about music, and I can't carry a tune in a bushel basket." With this pessimistic statement, many of us close the door to a whole new world of enjoyment. It does seem confusing when we hear people conversing in longhandled terms about symphonies, sonatas, oratorios, writing styles, and the like. Immediately, we become frightened by their apparent knowledge of music. Don't be misled by that big talk, which may even be done just to impress you. Knowledge of those terms doesn't mean that they enjoy music …
Shelterbelt Care, E.K. Ferrell
Shelterbelt Care, E.K. Ferrell
SDSU Extension Circulars
Weeds affect young trees in the same way they affect other crops. Weeds rob trees of moisture, plant food and light. This often results in the death of most of the trees. Those that do manage to live are stunted. Planting a shelterbelt is a waste of time, money and land unless the planting is cultivated throughout its early life. Your young shelterbelt trees need the same care as any other row crop until they are big enough to shade out the weeds and grass. Results of an experiment carried out at South Dakota State College show how important clean …

SDSU Extension Circulars
A MODERN POULTRY HOUSE is an asset to a farm. It need not be expensive to give good results. Often some building already on the farm can be remodeled inexpensively to serve the needs of hens. Where old buildings are not available, new housing should be considered. Remodeling or building new poultry housing is a very important job. In order to invest money wisely, careful attention should be given to planning, choice of materials, arrangement of floor plan and use of labor saving devices. A modern, well organized house can do a lot of the chores for the poultry operator. …

State Hospitals And Schools For The Handicapped, Don Clayton
SDSU Extension Circulars
All of us have a handicap of one kind or another. We may not be crippled in limb or mentally broken, but most of us do have handicaps that reveal themselves every once in a while. Sometimes we harbor prejudices that cause us to suffer extremely "low vision"; some people are subject to spells of "blind rage" while other "limp" socially on a withered sense of inferiority. All of us have areas and moods which find us "stumbling" in a kind of half-world between the real and the unreal.
