Types Of Farming In Poland, Jerzy Kostrowicki

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Thus the Polish study presented here is but one more attempt to solve some methodological problems and to arrive at a typology of agriculture for a single country. In the Polish study, a type of farming is understood as being shaped under given natural conditions by particular social and economic processes: an ensemble of ways, orientations, and results of farming.

Microorganisms And Soil Structure, T. M. Mccalla, F. A. Haskins

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

SUMMARY

Good stable soil structure is valuable for promoting the growth of plants and micro-organisms by permitting enhanced aeration and water penetration and by decreasing erosion under some conditions.

Micro-organisms influence water percolation through the soil. They may plug up soil pores with byproducts of growth and reduce water percolation. On the other hand, if a soil containing a large amount of microbial products is stirred and allowed to dry, then the percolation may be high.

Micro-organisms are involved in stabilizing soil structure by their products of decomposition and their cellular binding material, such as mycelia. Microorganisms differ greatly in …

Pensternon In Your Garden, Glenn Viehmeyer

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

A new race of hardy perennials is beginning to appear in American gardens. These are the penstemons, a genus of plants closely related to the familiar snapdragon, which may become important ornamentals as they become better known to gardeners. The purpose of this bulletin is to show the possibility of the genus as an ornamental and to suggest species and species hybrids of possible value to Great Plains gardeners; to provide information about propagation and culture; and to encourage gardeners to engage in penstemon breeding as an avocation.

4-H Handicraft Guide : Color And Design, Delphia Dirks

SDSU Extension Circulars

We all have favorite colors but we should remember that no color is ugly. If used in the right place and in the right amount, every color is beautiful. Colors must suit the purpose for which they have been chosen. They must be combined so as to enhance one another. Look at examples of good art and study their color schemes. Look at different color schemes in magazines and see if they are analogous, triad, etc. Note how the same hues are brightened and darkened - sometimes in the same pictures or designs.

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 …

Beef Performance Testing On Farm And Ranch, Henry P. Holzman

SDSU Extension Circulars

This circular has been prepared to assist in answering the increasing number of questions being asked by producers of commercial and purebred cattle about the methods, principles and values of the Performance Test for beef cattle. Performance testing is nothing new. Improvement in livestock ever since the beginning of the various breeds, has been due to some form of performance test. Such tests have been based on either observation or some form of records. Knowledge of underlying principles and the relative value of different methods has, until recent years, been lacking in beef cattle testing. Research projects conducted during the …

Bulletin No 3410 - Design Of Dairy Premises, A. L. Hamilton, F. J. Fielder

Bulletins - 3000 - 3999

CONDITIONS in the dairy industry are changing rapidly.

There is a trend towards larger and more convenient milking sheds. Farmers have accepted that economic production is possible only with relatively large herds; they are thinking bigger than before. The aim is for herds of 100 or more, instead of the earlier objective of 40 to 50 cows.

To enable herds of this size to be milked quickly, premises must be designed for convenience and to enable cows to be handled without unnecessary movement on the part of the operators.

Also of the greatest importance is the need for the design …

Weed Research. 8. Weed Control In The Vineyard, Geoffrey A. Pearce, W. R. Jamieson

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

WEED control in the vineyard has been achieved by cultivation for many centuries and it is only during recent years that attention has been given to the use of herbicides for this purpose.

Today there is little risk to the vine in using any one of the herbicides listed in this article, and in general the main considerations governing the use of chemicals for weed control are the cost of the operation and the effect which it is desired to achieve.

Facts And Figures For The Man On The Land, J A. Mallett

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

FARM or station life calls for the exercise of so many different skills that the farmer or pastoralist is usually an accomplished handyman.

For those whose schooldays are far behind them however, the most difficult part of many tasks is that of dealing with the calculations involved, and it is hoped that these facts and figures will serve as a handy aid to those whose mathematical ability has not kept pace with their manual and technical skill.
