Today fussy, proper parties are definitely out of style. Truly "smart" people just won't take the time to spend their precious leisure moments "putting on the dog".

It suggests a search for an antidote to the strain and tension that involves most of us-in this business of "making a living". The front doors on most of our homes swing inward. This …

After you have selected the best phonograph that you can afford, preferably one with three speeds (78 rpm, 45 rpm, and 33½ rpm), you are ready to begin your home record library. Long-playing records withstand rougher treatment than do the 78's, are easier to store, and will play up to thirty-two minutes per side without interruptions. They're not literally "unbreakable," but they are tough.

The feed accounts for well over 50 per cent of the cost of poultry, meat and egg production, hence its importance cannot be considered lightly. A good feed supplies all of the essential nutrients in the required amounts for each type of production.

SDSU Extension Circulars
Facts regarding farm accidents are scarce. A suggestion was made by the state safety director, Carroll Stinson, to the agricultural engineering department that a newspaper clipping survey be made to determine in what areas an educational program might best be developed to cut down on the occupational hazards of modern agriculture.

The average production of South Dakota milk cows for the year 1952 was 4170 pounds of milk and 156 pounds of butterfat. Much of this relativ~ly low production is due to poor feed and lack of enough feed. Production and feed records shown in Table IV - page 25 reveal that one way to get increased production is to give the cows more feed. Feed is the greatest single item …
