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 …

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 …

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 …

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
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.

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
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 …

Fruits And Vegetables: Budget Salad And Greens, M. Dolve
Fruits And Vegetables: Budget Salad And Greens, M. Dolve
SDSU Extension Circulars
Fruits and vegetables have been wrongly considered by some as luxuries and relishes valuable principally for the pleasant variety they give to the diet. This conception may be largely due to the fact that they contain a large amount of water and a comparatively small amount of the so called nutrients. The fact that milk is the most perfect food, though it contains 87% water goes to show that the nature of the solids in any food rather than the quantity determines its actual food value. As a whole fruits and vegetables are more economical sources of protein and energy …

Farm Record Keeping And Application Of Business Principles To Farming, M. Benedict, Mccullough
SDSU Extension Circulars
How to make his farm return enough profit for a wholesome, worth while living and provide for moderate saving is the problem confronting every farmer to-day. Every farm family wants a comfortable home, schooling for the children, electric lights, running water, and the other comforts of life, but usually these things cannot be had unless the farm is made to pay as a business proposition. Farming is not and never has been a means of getting rich quickly or easily. It is a substantial and necessary occupation offering many advantages. On the other hand, it seldom has paid the farmer …

Grasshoppers, Cutworms And Army Worms And Their Control By Poisoned Bran Mash, A. Ford
SDSU Extension Circulars
Were it possible to accurately estimate in dollars and cents the average annual loss caused by grasshoppers, cutworms, and army worms to the growing crops of South Dakota, the figure arrived at would be a staggering one. These three pests cause a greater average annual damage than any other three insect pests in the state. Natural conditions here are such that we may expect outbreaks from any of these three in any part of the state for many years to come. Being situated in this manner, it behooves every farmer in South Dakota to be prepared to fight these pests …

Materials made from woolen and worsted yarns are among our most useful and valued textiles. The raw material is procured form the fleeces of the various breeds of sheeps, goats, and other animals living in all parts of the world.

The length of the staple varies from …
