School Lunch: Sandwiches, W.F. Kumalien
School Lunch: Sandwiches, W.F. Kumalien
SDSU Extension Circulars
The cold lunch at its beset is not the most desirable food for taking of the food requirements of the child, and when it is to be repeated every day of the school year is very apt to become tiresome and monotonous. The feeling that anything will do for the lunch box is altogether too prevalent. The lack of time is the most common excuse for the poorly prepared lunch box. It does not take any more time to put up wholesome lunches in an attractive way, but it does take thought and an appreciation of what the boy or …

Record Book For Milk Testing Club Members, H. Jones
SDSU Extension Circulars
This book is for your open personal use. Separate blanks will be provided for making your reports to the County Agent and the State Club Leader. This is simply for your convenience in summarizing. Weigh the milk of each cow to be tested just as often as possible. This should be done for at least two days a month. More frequent weighings would be better. The best and most accurate method is to weigh every day. Record the amount of milk for each cow opposite the day of the month. Suppose that you weigh the milk on the 9 and …

Renovation And Remodeling, A. Linfield
SDSU Extension Circulars
Next to food economy, the housewife will find her largest savings in the family clothing. The price of clothing steadily advanced throughout the war period and even now after three years the prices are still beyond the means of a great many of us. The normal conditions of the textile supply cannot be restored for years. In order to save textiles and correct all habits of wastefulness, study the possibilities of partly worn garments and do not discard them. Frequently touches of embroidery, braid, rows of buttons or other means of simply trimming can be used to cover up defect …

Insect Pests Of Stored Grains And Their Control, M. H. Swenk
Insect Pests Of Stored Grains And Their Control, M. H. Swenk
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
In Nebraska there are about 20 species of insects that injure stored grain more or less. Some are beetles and their larvae, others are the caterpillars of small moths. To the farmer all are "weevil," although that name is really properly applied only to two beetle species-the granary weevil and the rice weevil. The following paragraphs and illustrations will describe the several more important stored grain pests to be found in this State, so that the farmer may recognize the particular pest or pests that are doing the injury to his grain, and may then apply the proper remedy.

Study Of Materials, A. Linfield
SDSU Extension Circulars
In selecting materials the purchaser should know not only what quality or grade of material may be demanded for a certain price, but be able to determine as well whether that quality has been actually secured in payment of the price. In order to select materials wisely both knowledge and experience are required. You much be able to distinguish the different fibers; you must know the standard materials and weaves, and their suitability for different purposes; you must be able to judge the durability and quality of fabrics in relation to price and you must know how to detect substitutes …

Cooperative Marketing, H. Mccullough
Cooperative Marketing, H. Mccullough
SDSU Extension Circulars
”In marketing farm products, cooperatively or otherwise, certain things must be done. Most of these necessary steps are included in the following:
1. The commodity must be assembled or concentrated.
2. It must be graded or standardized.
3. Part of the crop must be warehoused or processed.
4. The market operation must be financed.
5. Transportation must be provided
6. Expert salesmanship must be brought into play.
7. The commodity must be distributed to consumers.
”The above mentioned steps coming between the growing and the consuming of a crop are at present largely conducted by the so-called middlemen. By looking …
Cropping Systems, H. Mccullough
Cropping Systems, H. Mccullough
SDSU Extension Circulars
Many different cropping systems are used in South Dakota. In part of the “West-River” country it is customary to raise equal acreages of corn and small grain diced in on the corn stubble the next year. Very little plowing is done. In Spink County, typical of the north-western part of the State, there are three acres of small grain for each acre in corn. Surveys in Brown County and Jones County in 1921 show very different cropping systems prevailing in those counties.
High Crop Yields And Profits From Farming, H. Mccullough
High Crop Yields And Profits From Farming, H. Mccullough
SDSU Extension Circulars
Crop yields have a direct bearing upon farm profits. Granting that there are many factors affecting crop yields and crop prices that are beyond the control of the individual farmer, it is still true that those men whose crop yields are somewhat above the average for their localities make the largest profits. This is true in all parts of the country and for all crops as is shown by the following table covering 3130 farms in 12 states. This table shows the average labor income on farms having poor crop yields, medium or average yields and good crop yields. In …
Bulletin No. 183 - Water-Holding Capacity Of Irrigated Soils, Orson W. Israelsen, Frank L. West
Bulletin No. 183 - Water-Holding Capacity Of Irrigated Soils, Orson W. Israelsen, Frank L. West
UAES Bulletins
All information that will 'enable the irrigator to use water economically is valuable to arid-climate agriculture. In many arid-climate regions, including the western part of the United States, excessive waste of water occurs in the irrigation of highland porous soil areas, as a result of lack of information concerning the capacity of the soil to hold water. Following the waste of water on the uplands by excessive percolation through open soils, vast lowland areas are rendered partially or wholly nonproductive by water-logging. To illustrate, a gravelly bench soil four feet deep, if underlain by a coarse open gravel to a …
Iii. The Predaceous Enemies Of Ants, Joseph Bequaert
Iii. The Predaceous Enemies Of Ants, Joseph Bequaert
Ba
The various means by which Nature prevents an excessive increase of the species not only forms in itself an interesting chapter of ecology, but its study is also of great importance in an understanding of the true meaning of Natural Selection. In the case of ants it has been contended that they are better defended than other insects against the attacks of predatory animals. Poulton evidently takes this for granted when he considers that ants, together with wasps, are among the favorite models for "mimicking" insects and other arthropods. These ant-like arthropods, having acquired by Natural Selection their resemblance "to …

Inventories And Depreciation Accounts, H. Mccullough
Inventories And Depreciation Accounts, H. Mccullough
SDSU Extension Circulars
Inventories are an essential part of a farm record. Taken at the beginning and end of the year, they show whether one has been increasing or decreasing the among of livestock, grain, feed, and supplies on hand. An increase in inventory represents income, even though it is not in the form of dollars and cents. A decrease in inventory means that some of the livestock, grain, etc., produced in previous years has been sold or used. Since this was not produced during the current year, it should be considered an expense and deducted from the gross income as such.
Short Cuts In Sewing, A. Linfield
Short Cuts In Sewing, A. Linfield
SDSU Extension Circulars
In this day when we hear so much about labor saving devices, when every business man realizes the value of labor saving equipment, we find that in the majority of homes that the women in sewing work do not make use of the devices that they have. Hand decoration on garments requires a great deal of time. Many new and attractive stiches can be made by the sewing machine and used for decoration. Then with the use of sewing machine attachments a great deal of time and labor can be saved. They offer many possibilities. Tucking, ruffling, hemming, hemstitching, braiding, …
Efficient Livestock And Profits From Farming With A Special Reference To Economical Pork Production, H. Mccullough
Efficient Livestock And Profits From Farming With A Special Reference To Economical Pork Production, H. Mccullough
SDSU Extension Circulars
Sales of livestock and of livestock products constitute an important part of the receipts on most South Dakota farms. Records on 126 farms in Brown and Jones Counties in 1921 show that in brown County 37 percent and in Jones County 80 percent of the cash receipts were from these sources. South Dakota is so far from the terminal markets that nearly all of the roughage and a large part of the coarse grain produced in the State is fed to livestock and marketed in the form of beef, pork, butterfat and eggs. It follows that, on any particular farm, …
Eggs, M. Dolve
Eggs, M. Dolve
SDSU Extension Circulars
When we remember that an egg is store-up food material to be used for developing the young chick, we can naturally expect it to be a good food containing the various nutrients. Eggs are more nearly interchangeable with milk than any other food. Eggs are tissue building foods, being rich in protein and mineral matter. (Phosphorus, calcium, and iron.) On account of their richness in iron, they are one of the first foods added to the growing child’s diet.
Home Supplies Furnished By The Farm, H. Mccullough
Home Supplies Furnished By The Farm, H. Mccullough
SDSU Extension Circulars
One hundred fifty years ago a farm family raised practically all of its food and made most of its clothing as well as the simple tools that were used in farm work. Then came the opening up of the West, the building of railroads and the invention and general use of modern farm machinery. Crain, livestock and livestock products were raised in large quantities and sold. Part of the money from these sales was used to buy the clothing, household equipment and food which had previously been made or raised on the farm. No one today would care to go …

Bulletin No. 178 - The Irrigation Of Barley, F. S. Harris, D. W. Pittman
Bulletin No. 178 - The Irrigation Of Barley, F. S. Harris, D. W. Pittman
UAES Bulletins
The proper use of irrigation water is one of the most important problems of every comnunity and of every farmer in an irrigated district. The irrigation farmer has largely under his control one of the most important factors in determining the yield and quality of his crops and one over which all other farmers have little control at all. On the other hand, in an arid district there is generally less available irrigation water than is needed to give the optimum amount to all the land, or if one region receives an excess there is generally an accumulation of alkali …
A Study Of The Environmental Conditions Influencing The Development Of Stem Rust In The Absence Of An Alternate Host. I. The Viability Of The Urediniospores Of Puccinia Graminis Tritici Form Iii, George L. Peltier
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
No exact data are at hand regarding the influence of temperature and relative humidity on the viability of the urediniospores of stem rust under controlled conditions. 1. The influence of relative humidity on the viability of the urediniospores of Puccinia graminis tritici Form III is very pronounced and closely associated with temperature. 2. At high relative humidities, depending somewhat on the temperature, the percentage of germination is low and the period over which the spores are viable is very short. 3. The same relation exists at the low relative humidities except that it is not so pronounced and is more …
