4-H Home Economics : Local Leaders' Club, South Dakota State College 4-H Club Staff

SDSU Extension Circulars

One of the most important things in working with people—young people or adults—is willingness to accept a person as he is and attempt to understand him. Our job is to accept the adolescent as he is, with all his weaknesses, his carelessness, his uncertainties, his differences and his problems, and help him see the good qualities which he possesses.


A Study Of Interscholastic Sports Officiating In The United States, John Martel May 1952

A Study Of Interscholastic Sports Officiating In The United States, John Martel

Health, Exercise, and Sports Sciences ETDs

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the interscholastic football and basketball sports officiating practices in the United States by (1) determining to what extent the various states certify officials, (2) what the requirements are for certification, (3) the methods of selecting officials for athletic contests, (4) the types of control the state athletic associations exert over officials regarding officials' appeals, conduct of officials, penalties for violations and settlement of disputes, (5) how the officials and the schools are rated, (6) the fees paid to the officials, (7) and the preparation made by officials who officiate interscholastic athletic contests.


Actinomycosis And Actinobacillosis, J Shilkin May 1952

Actinomycosis And Actinobacillosis, J Shilkin

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Actinomycosis and actinobacillosis, commonly known as "lumpy jaw" and "wooden tongue" respectively, are chronic infective diseases which are most commonly encountered in cattle, occasionally in pigs, and much less frequently in the other domestic animals and man. They are characterised by the presence of tumour-like swellings and exude pus containing yellow sulphur-like granules. These swellings are commonly found in or on the jawbones and tongue, but may be found on occasions, in other parts of the body such as the lungs, liver, spleen, etc.

A Study Of The Craft Activities In Summer Recreation Programs In Relationship To Weber County, Utah, Leonard W. Glismann May 1952

A Study Of The Craft Activities In Summer Recreation Programs In Relationship To Weber County, Utah, Leonard W. Glismann

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A quick observation in this modern world makes one realize the great problem of leisure time that is upon us. Man is working fewer hours and retirements are at a younger age. Now man finds himself poorly prepared to cope with the situation. In our schools today millions of dollars are spent teaching art, crafts, dramatics, music, and physical education in an attempt to train for leisure, yet we spend a comparatively little amount of money for continuing these activities in out-of-school hours.


The Etiology Of Apricot Scorch In Utah County, Utah, Joseph Tarbet Woolley May 1952

The Etiology Of Apricot Scorch In Utah County, Utah, Joseph Tarbet Woolley

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In the summer of 1944 a disease of apricots in Utah County, Utah, was brought to the attention of the staff of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station. This disease was characterized by a scorched appearance of the edges of the leaves and therefore was called "apricot scorch."

The typical symptoms of apricot scorch are a scorching and curling of the margins of the leaves. The "scorched" area usually turns a characteristic reddish-brown color, but sometimes is quite light brown or gray. The injury starts at the margins of the leaves and works inward in "waves" first scorching the marginal portion …


Ascorbic Acid And Glucose: Their Relation To Rheumatic Fever In Utah, And Their Relation To Incidence Of Dental Caries In Idaho, Patricia Wood May 1952

Ascorbic Acid And Glucose: Their Relation To Rheumatic Fever In Utah, And Their Relation To Incidence Of Dental Caries In Idaho, Patricia Wood

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Diseases which in the sixteenth century were found to be related to a deficiency of some substance in the natural foods consumed in the diet were later known as deficiency diseases. As early as 1881, Lunin found that rats could not live on a purified diet of carbohydrate, fat, protein and minerals, but could exist on a diet supplemented with certain natural foods. These findings were found to be in agreement with records of early descriptions of deficiency diseases. Scurvy was recognized very early in voyages made across oceans where ships had no means of being re-provisioned. Progress was very …


A Comparative Study Of Raw, Pasteurized, And Hydrogen Peroxide Treated Milk In The Production Of Swiss Cheese, John Darold Johnson May 1952

A Comparative Study Of Raw, Pasteurized, And Hydrogen Peroxide Treated Milk In The Production Of Swiss Cheese, John Darold Johnson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

At the present time the Swiss cheese making process is a prolonged one requiring several operations and considerable space. The cheese is made in wheels weighing approximately 200 pounds and is covered by a thick rind. There is considerable waste in cutting these large wheels to fit the present merchandising methods.


Electric Chick Brooding Studies, F. D. Yung, F. E. Mussehl Apr 1952

Electric Chick Brooding Studies, F. D. Yung, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Perhaps one of the most valuable lessons to be learned from a study of chick brooding is that good results can often be obtained in more ways than one. In carrying on work with electric brooders at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station, special attention has been given to such factors as insulation and to other details of design which effect economy of operation and ease of construction. Low cost rather than "cheapness" has been the ideal. The work has been cooperative between the Agricultural Engineering Department and the Poultry Husbandry Department of the University of Nebraska.

Helminths From The Round-Tailed Muskrat, Neofiber Alleni Nigrescens Howell, With Descriptions Of Two New Species, Robert L. Rausch Apr 1952

Helminths From The Round-Tailed Muskrat, Neofiber Alleni Nigrescens Howell, With Descriptions Of Two New Species, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Two specimens of round-tailed muskrat, Neofiber alleni nigrescens Howell, were examined for helminth parasites. Four species, a trematode and three cestodes, were collected. Two of these, Quinqueserialis floridensis and Paranoplocephala neofibrinus, are described as new. Cittotaenia praecoquis Stiles, 1895, is recorded from this host, and larval cestodes are tentatively identified as Taenia lyncis Skinker, 1935.


Parents : What Are Their Responsibilities, Bertha E. Weller, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College Mar 1952

Parents : What Are Their Responsibilities, Bertha E. Weller, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

"A good parent prepares his child to walk alone." One can think a lot about that reply. It's really not too much different from saying, "We would never need to learn to walk if we were always carried, as infants are." It is a wise parent who teaches his child how to make decisions for himself. It gives him the true form of self-confidence since he is able to find his way through difficulties. Children, just like adults, grow in admiration for people who help them to discover what they can do.


Argentine Ants Mar 1952

Argentine Ants

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Specimens of ants submitted in February by the Rockingham Health Inspector were identified as Argentine ants, these being the first recorded from this area. Two areas of infestation are present in the Rockingham townsite—one adjacent to the hotel and the other near the Fisher Street jetty. Active steps were taken by the local authorities to bring the infestation under control.


Cobalt, L C. Snook Mar 1952

Cobalt, L C. Snook

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Cobalt is one of the most interesting of the so-called "trace" elements. Particularly is this so to West Australians as the use of cobalt has permitted farmers to rear healthy sheep and cattle where previously this was impossible. Also, it was in this State that Filmer and Underwood carried out much of the fundamental work which led to the discovery of the vital importance of cobalt.


The Composition Of The Dwalganup Strain Of Subterranean Clover, A B. Beck Mar 1952

The Composition Of The Dwalganup Strain Of Subterranean Clover, A B. Beck

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Subterranean clover is now the major pasture species in Western Australia and according to Elliott (1948) nearly 90 per cent, of the sown pastures of this State have a subterranean-clover base or were originally sown with this species. In spite of its great economic importance, no data have been published showing the chemical composition of the clover growing in this State. In order to fill this gap in our knowledge, series of samples of the Dwalganup strain were collected from three localities. These have been analysed by the Government Chemical Laboratories and the results are presented in this paper.


Elephant Grass, H G. Elliott, L C. Snook Mar 1952

Elephant Grass, H G. Elliott, L C. Snook

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Elephant Grass, sometimes known as Napier's Fodder, is a hardy, palatable and nutritious plant which under good conditions will give heavy yields. When once established it will remain as a permanent stand so long as it receives good treatment. It grows well in many parts of Western Australia and up to date appears to be free from attack by pests and diseases.

Gas Storage Of Apples, S E. Hardisty Mar 1952

Gas Storage Of Apples, S E. Hardisty

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

As the storage life of many popular varieties of apples is limited in England by their susceptibility to low temperature breakdown, gas storage was developed as an alternative means of retarding the ripening of the fruit. Although the method does not decrease the susceptibility to low temperature breakdown it does permit longer storage at relatively high temperatures (40 F). It is used extensively in Great Britain and America and it also has general application for storage at 32° F.

As the store is sealed off and no fruit is removed until the end of the storage period, it is essential …


"Swelled Head" In Rams, C R. Toop Mar 1952

"Swelled Head" In Rams, C R. Toop

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

During the summer and autumn months a disease of rams, popularly known as "swelled head" or "big-head" is encountered from time to time in Western Australian flocks. The condition is almost entirely confined to rams of the horned breeds and outbreaks which have come under notice in this State have occurred only among Merinos and Dorset Horns. Young rams and weaners are most frequently affected and the disease results from the infection of wounds about the forehead sustained by the animals when fighting.


Poison Plants Of Western Australia: Isotropis, C A. Gardner, H W. Bennetts Mar 1952

Poison Plants Of Western Australia: Isotropis, C A. Gardner, H W. Bennetts

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The genus Isotropis is restricted to Australia. Of the total of nine species six are recorded in Western Australia, two of them being known as "Lamb poisons" while the remainder have no common names. Three are known to be toxic to stock, but concerning the remaining three we have no definite information.

* Poison Plants of Western Australia is an ongoing series of articles. "Toxic Plants of the Genus Isotropis" is the subtitle and primary focus of this article.


Strain 19 In Western Australia Mar 1952

Strain 19 In Western Australia

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Since the inauguration of its brucellosis control campaign in 1946, the West Australian Department of Agriculture has inoculated nearly 72,000 dairy heifers with Strain 19 vaccine and established a remarkable degree of control throughout the dairying districts. As the success of the control measures is largely dependent upon the vaccination of each year's crop of heifers, the work is now being intensified and members of the field staff are again busy in the dairying areas.


More Beef From The Kimberleys, Grant A. Smith Mar 1952

More Beef From The Kimberleys, Grant A. Smith

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Beef production in the Kimberleys is an industry which has eked out a precarious existence for many years. Today it is offered an unprecedented opportunity for expansion on sound economic lines, and it is the purpose of this article to offer some suggestions as to how this may best be achieved.

Grade Herd Recording: Increase In Fees

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The Superintendent of Dairying (Mr. M. Cullity) has announced that from March 1, 1952, onward, dairy farmers whose herds are included in the Grade Herd Recording scheme will be asked to pay a fee of 5s. per cow, instead of 3s. 6d.


Stretch Your Food Dollar, Mildred Daniel Feb 1952

Stretch Your Food Dollar, Mildred Daniel

SDSU Extension Circulars

Whether the homemaker buys much or little food, she needs to know her market, the variety of foods offered arid how to make-economical choices. The increased variety of foods on the market today has made her choice more difficult. Proper choice is possible only when she understands (l) the food needs of her family, (2) how much money she ha to spend, and (3) the quality and cost of the products. She can be an important influence in bringing about better marketing conditions. Accurate information is her first need. This bulletin is intended to discuss with the homemaker her problems …


Bryology In Texas - 1. Mosses (Musci), Eula Whitehouse Jan 1952

Bryology In Texas - 1. Mosses (Musci), Eula Whitehouse

Field and Laboratory

The bryophyte flora of Texas has hardly been touched. Striking climatic extremes, with variations in time of extreme cold and rainfall, may cause an abundance of plants in one season and a failure in other years. The vast size of the state makes it difficult to cover favorable terrain at propitious seasons. However, the chief cause of the scarcity of collections may be due to the lack of resident collectors who have been and are interested in bryology.

Some Instructive Field Days, "Martingale" . Jan 1952

Some Instructive Field Days, "Martingale" .

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Although fully conversant with the old newspaperman's adage which states that "Yesterday's news is the bath-heater fuel of today," we make no apology for including these reports of field days held after our December issue had gone to press. It is felt that they contain some useful lessons which, even at this late date, are deserving of emphasis.
