Child's Made-Over Dresses, A. Linfield Jan 1922

Child's Made-Over Dresses, A. Linfield

SDSU Extension Circulars

Many worn garments may be renovated and remodeled into useful clothes for the younger members of the family. There are more possibilities in making over clothing for children than for adults, because smaller amounts of material are necessary. Materials that are too old in weave, color, or figure should not be used unless this fault can be disguised. Sometimes the addition of contrasting color will solve this problem.

The Kitchen, M. Dolve Jan 1922

The Kitchen, M. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

The kitchen can well be called the work shop of the home for a very large part of the home maker’s time an energy is spent doing the work in the kitchen. Sometimes we loose sight of the fact that much of what seems drudgery is to a great extent due to gloomy and inconvenient surroundings; that a room with a drab or dark blue walls create drab and blue thoughts, that sunny and cheerful room will do much to keep the worker happy and contented.

Late Spring Management Of The New Strawberry Bed, A. Ford

SDSU Extension Circulars

One of the most essential things in successful strawberry growing is a proper amount of the right kind of cultivation. No boy or girl club member can ever expect to break club yield records without cultivation (hoeing) his patch. Why is it that cultivation is so necessary in strawberry growing? There are four principal reasons, and they are taken up separately below. (See more in text).

Insect Pests And Plant Diseases Of The Strawberry Bed, A. Ford Jan 1922

Insect Pests And Plant Diseases Of The Strawberry Bed, A. Ford

SDSU Extension Circulars

Insect pests and plant disease cause a continual loss in many strawberry beds. As a rule this loss is disregarded by the average grower who believes that there is nothing practical that can be done. We maintain that for an individual to grow strawberries efficiently, he must give this loss caused by insect pests and plant disease due consideration.

Planting The Strawberry Bed, A. Ford

SDSU Extension Circulars

You have probably ordered your plants by this time and would, undoubtedly, want to know how much ground to prepare for them. In speaking of strawberry beds we will use the square rods as the unit area. The number of plants necessary for a square rod of ground depends entirely upon the planting system you choose to use. There are three common systems of planting and training strawberry beds, namely, (1) the hill system, (2) the hedge row system, (3) and the matted row system. These are taken up separately below.

Co-Operative Wool Marketing In South Dakota, J. Holmes Jun 1921

Co-Operative Wool Marketing In South Dakota, J. Holmes

SDSU Extension Circulars

During 1918 and 1919 several of the counties of the state, through the help of their farm bureaus and county agricultural agents, assisted sheep raisers .in marketing their wool cooperatively by the county wool pool system. This method afforded a great many advantages over the old system of each sheepman marketing his wool privately to county buyers, in that it made possible selling on a grade basis, assembling the wool in car lots, and in many other respects reduced the expense of marketing considerably. However, by the spring of 1920 it had become evident that the county pooling system had …

Annual Report Of The Extension Division For The Year Ending June 30, 1920, C. Larsen, W. Kumlien, H. Dawes, P. Scarboro

SDSU Extension Circulars

The past year has been filled with unusual activity and interest along the different phases of agricultural extension work. The demand for the services of the different extension workers has greatly increased, so much so, that it has become a problem as to how their time may be best assigned so as to accomplish the most.
Extension work is based upon cooperation. The counties, state and government cooperate in finding the problems and in solving them. Some of these agricultural and rural problems may be solved in the local community; others need the assistance of the whole county; other problems, …

Septic Tank For Sewage Disposal On The Farm, R. Patty

If a larger plan of the tank is desired, it may be obtained in blueprint form for five cents (to cover the cost of the blue print paper) by addressing the Extension Division of the South Dakota State College, Brookings, S.

A Servicable Farm Barn, R. Patty Aug 1920

A Servicable Farm Barn, R. Patty

SDSU Extension Circulars

There is a great demand for a plan of a general barn suitable for a South Dakota farm of from a quarter to a half section of land. Not only are old buildings being replaced but a very great number of larger tracts are being divided into separate farms and entire sets of new buildings are being erected. These facts, more than any others, probably account for the large number of requests received by the Extension Division for such a plan. The plan presented in this circular, we believe will best meet this need.

Potato Seed Certification In South Dakota, F. Mccall Apr 1920

Potato Seed Certification In South Dakota, F. Mccall

SDSU Extension Circulars

The introduction of dangerous potato diseases, (notably powdery scab and black wart); the Federal grade regulations, and the demands of many states that potatoes for propagating purposes be certified, as to purity and freedom from diseases, has aroused unusual interest in the standardization of potato shipments from the various northern potato growing centers. Early in 1919, the potato growers of the state felt an urgent need for definite lines of potato improvement. Accordingly, a plan for inspection and certification of potato seed stock was inaugurated. This move was entirely voluntary on the part of the· potato growers and was placed …

A Suggested Farm Entrance Sign For Advertising Purposes, R. Patty

SDSU Extension Circulars

With the great increase in the ·number of farmers who are adopting names for their farmsteads there is an accompanying desire for the erection of appropriate sign boards, entrance signs or other devices of advertising value. The accompanying sketch and working plan are intended to show what may be done with ordinary building materials in erecting a sign that has good lines. Farmers who contemplate the putting up of two posts and a straight cross board may find in this suggestion something worthwhile.

The Community Meat Ring, J. M. Brander Feb 1920

The Community Meat Ring, J. M. Brander

SDSU Extension Circulars

Fresh meat regularly and at reasonable prices” is what a rural community in Douglas county has adopted as its slogan. To have fresh meat whenever desired from farm butchered livestock is too often considered practically impossible on account of the rather limited amount of fresh meat that a family could use before the meat spoils. To get it regularly from a butcher shop involves added time aside from the fact that very high prices are charged. The salting, curing, smoking, and other methods of meat preservation are practiced to a certain extent by farmers throughout the country, but supplies of …

The Balanced Garden, F. Mccall Feb 1920

The Balanced Garden, F. Mccall

SDSU Extension Circulars

The body needs protein, carbohydrates and fats in a quite well defined ratio. This ratio can be most easily provided if balanced meals are served. It will be much easier to serve balanced meals if the foods containing the proteins, the carbohydrates and fats are produced in or near the right proportions. If the garden is depended upon for the bulk of the food supply, then the varieties grown should be selected upon this basis.

Advertising Farm Products, G. Starring Jul 1919

Advertising Farm Products, G. Starring

SDSU Extension Circulars

Advertising is now regarded as essential in placing any commodity on the market. Advertising puts goods where they will be of maximum service. It follows that such a place will pay the highest price. Farmers of South Dakota are intensely interested in this phase of marketing. Individual farmers usually look for a local market where the advertising medium is chiefly local. This is especially true in respect t0 the sale and exchange of livestock and seeds of various kinds in smaller lots. A community of farmers who have considerable produce of a certain standard kind might advertise cooperatively to good …

Hog Houses For South Dakota, R. L. Patty Sep 1918

Hog Houses For South Dakota, R. L. Patty

SDSU Extension Circulars

Good housing is essential to successful hog raising. While several sows may do fairly well with their litters around an old strawstack or shack under favorable weather conditions, it will pay in the long run to figure on good housing and care, if the business is to show the best profit. The writer has attempted to put as much helpful material in as little space as possible for anyone planning to build a hoghouse. If changes are made in the plan the details and suggestions should still be of service. It is hard to make changes of any consequence in …
