Interregional Competition In Alfalfa Seed Production In The United States, Charles H. Benrud

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

“Northern” alfalfa, produced in South Dakota and its neighboring states, has long been noted for its hardy winter-resistant qualities. As a result, for many years its seed was sought after by farmers in all of the northern states in preference to any other. In recent years, however, new "synthetic" varieties have been developed. Certified seed of these varieties has been produced in large quantities in other parts of the United States and sold in competition with Northern seed. In an effort to help Northern producers solve their problems, research has been carried on by the South Dakota State College Agricultural …

Least-Cost Sites For Cooperative Egg Marketing Federations For Eastern South Dakota, John S. Arnold

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Traditional outlets for South Dakota eggs, outside the Midwest, are being offered greater supplies of quality eggs by nearby producers than before. As a result. South Dakota has lost much of its Eastern market and may lose its Western market. A number of cooperative associations have expressed an interest in developing more efficient egg marketing systems. Improved cooperative marketing would create increased bargaining power and higher net returns for many producers. Cooperatives have played an important function in South Dakota egg marketing for many years. Cooperatives in other parts of the country have formed federations to increase cooperative egg marketing …

Comparisons Of The Profitability Of Certified And Uncertified Alfalfa Seed Production In South Dakota, Arnold Lyle Aspelin

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Alfalfa is one of the most important crops grown in South Dakota. Approximately two per cent of the total alfalfa acreage harvested for seed in South Dakota during recent years has produced certified seed. The other 98 percent has produced uncertified seed, commonly referred to as "Northern" alfalfa seed. Until 1952, uncertified Northern alfalfa seed found a ready market in areas where winter hardiness is necessary. Since that time the demand for this seed has declined markedly. The problem which has arisen requires an answer to the question: "Can South Dakota seed producers obtain greater net returns by producing certified …

An Economic Analysis Of The Effects Of Alternative Shearing Methods On Wool Quality In Eastern South Dakota, Gerald E. Marousek

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The lack of information relating the quality of the wool clip at the farm to its value to the manufacturer has been recognized for several years. The following objectives were set out as a means of guiding the study of wool quality improvement in eastern South Dakota: To determine the theoretical effects of improved methods of shearing and handling wool on quantities produced, prices received, apportionment of benefits between producers and consumers, farm resource allocation, producers' bargaining power, and marketing costs; to develop and test practical methods of farm preparation of fleeces which could be expected to improve the quality …

Control Of Yellow Streak Mosaic Of Winter Wheat, C.M. Nagel

Agricultural Experiment Station Plant Pathology Pamphlets (1942-1962)

Yellow streak mosaic of winter wheat caused heavy losses in yield in 1959. The loss was estimated at well over a million dollars. The damage ranged from a trace in some fields to a complete loss in others. Some fields were plowed down in midseason when it became evident that 100 percent of the plants in the field were severely diseased, yellowed, stunted and no yield would result.

Growing In The Family: The Middle Years, Merle Gunsalus

SDSU Extension Circulars

As we recognize the fact that all people are growing throughout the entire life-span, it becomes easier to assess quite clearly just what each period of growing means to us as an individual. Aging can be neither ignored nor escapedbut it is something that can provide many basic satisfactions. The process itself is beyond our control, but how it affects us is something we can determine. No longer do we believe that a particular age is THE most important one.

4-H Handicraft Guide Metal Craft, Henrietta Gohrig, Ivan Sundal

SDSU Extension Circulars

Metalcraft is an art that dates back mamy centuries, yet always proves to be very fascinating and practical. Metals most commonly tooled are aluminum, copper, and brass. The tooling of thin sheets of these materials is a craft that may be done by a first grader or a skilled craftsman. Annealed (softened) metals are best for hand tooling. The desirable thickness varies from 40 gauge to 34 gauge; 36 gauge is most commonly used. The metals are rolled into coils, and are sold by the lineal foot. They can be cut to the desirable size by household shears. The coils …
