Freezing And Storing Meat For Quality And Economy, E. A. Pierce, H. H. Delong, J. R. Dynes

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Along with the rapid increase in the use of home freezers, there has been a demand for additional knowledge regarding how to use them for maximum efficiency. One of the most common questions asked is, "What type of wrapping materials should I use when freezing and storing meat in home freezer units?" This is only one of the factors which affect the efficient use of home freezer units. Such items as cost of operation, type of wrapping materials used, rate and capacity of freezing, size and construction of unit, and the quality retained in the frozen product are a few …

Marketing South Dakota Feeder Cattle, O. Nervik

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

A special study was designed to determine the best time to market feeder cattle, taking into consideration both production and price factors. Lack of data concerning gains of cattle during the season prevented the completion of this part of study. A discussion of this problem is included in the second part of this bulletin to show certain important areas of research were further work is needed.
The study was conducted by personal interviews with a representative sample of farmers and ranchers in the state. In selecting the sample, special emphasis was placed on getting information about marketing methods. The study …

How To Control Insects Harmful To Alfalfa Seed Production In South Dakota [Revised], H.C. Severin

Agricultural Experiment Station Entomology Pamphlets (1940-1952)

In order that a grower of alfalfa seed may have the best chance of producing a. good seed yield, the harmful insects in the alfalfa field must be destroyed, while the beneficial pollinating insects should not be reduced but encouraged. The most harmful insects that affect the seed yield of alfalfa in South Dakota are the following: Grasshoppers of several species Crickets of several species Lygus and other plant bugs Clover, potato and other leaf hoppers Flea beetles of several species

Weed Control In Lawns And Gardens, Leonard L. Schrader, Soloman Cook

SDSU Extension Circulars

Weeds. are a problem in the city, small town and around the farm home, just as they are a problem in pastures, hay lands and tilled fields. Wherever weeds grow, they are an unsightly and expensive nuisance. In the vacant or untended lots m town, weeds become the source of seed that will spread to surrounding gardens, lawns and farm fields. Hampered vision at intersections, caused by rank-growing weeds, has contributed to many traffic accidents. In addition, they sap the soil's fertility, which probably is sent up in smoke when the weeds are burned in the fall. In gardens, they …

Fattening Yearling Beef Cattle On Pasture, W. C. Mccone

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Many feeders are following the practice of fattening beef cattle on pasture. To aid the producer in planning his feeding program, research was conducted on various methods of using the feeds available on most South Dakota farms. Other experiment stations have shown the worth of limited winter feeding, followed by using maximum amounts of grass, in the production of fat yearlings. The present study is a report on the suitability of this method under South Dakota conditions and with locally grown feeds.
Research was planned to study: (1) the efficiency of various South Dakota roughages in rations for wintering beef …

Cinderella Furniture, Isabel Mcgibney

SDSU Extension Circulars

With an elaborate gilt coach that had once been a pumpkin, and glass slippers that didn't disclose their former identity, a common colorless girl became a famous storybook beauty. With a wave of the magic legendary wand, the good fairy transformed the unattractive into the desirable, the ugly into the beautiful and the rundown into the useful. Today a woman is her own fairy. The magic wand that makes the old as good as new is imagination, ingenuity and know-how. Like the two chairs on the cover that Mrs. Homemaker proudly shows her family, the unattractive chair has completely changed …

Grass Hay At Its Best, A. L. Moxon, G. Gastler, G. E. Staples, R. M. Jordam

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

With an ever increasing demand for food and the need for greater efficiency of production, it is important that the nutrients available in grass be conserved and utilized to the greatest possible extent. To accomplish this it is necessary that stockmen be provided with more complete and accurate information pertaining to the nutritive value of hay from this area. That is the purpose of this bulletin, based on investigations that have been conducted during the past eight years by the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station.

A Study Of Bovine Noseprints, Morris W. Hirsch

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The breed association are continuously confronted with the problem of properly identifying animals for registration. The method of identifying the broken color breeds, such as Guernseys, Holsteins, and Ayrshires, is by a sketch of the color patterns which accompanies the application for registration. This has been fairly successful, but due to the poor drawing ability of the applicant approximately twenty percent of animal markings and sketch do not resemble each other to establish identity. The solid colored breeds use brands or tattoo marks in the ear which are not entirely satisfactory since these are artificial and can be applied in …

Beef Production On Irrigated Pastures In South Dakota, John L. Leibel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

At present about 68,000 acres of land are under irrigation in South Dakota but plans have been developed for a vast expansion of irrigation in the state. When the new projects, planned by the Bureau of Reclamation, are completed South Dakota will have over one million acres of irrigable land. This new development will be in a climatic zone somewhat different that that in which other projects have been developed and consequently may require modifications in production programs and crop rotations.

An Economic Study Of Specialized Swine Production Possibilities In Southeastern South Dakota, Clarence A. Hustrulid

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The American farmer has made tremen4ous improvements in his productive capacity and ability since the Colonial period. These improvements have been taking place at a constantly accelerating rate. Much of this improvement has been due to increased specialization. The growth of urban population is an indicator of the rapid development of specialization. During Colonial times, at least nine-tenths of the population was engaged in farming, and as late as 1870, half of all workers were s till engaged in agriculture. Less than twenty percent of the nation's labor force is now employed on the nation's farms. In addition to a …

The Influence Of Time Of Mating, Number Of Matings, Injection Of Stilbestrol And Pregnant Mare Serum Upon Fertilization Rate In Swine, Ward William Repp

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The number of female swine which do not settle in producer's herds, both purebred and commercial, is thought to be at least 10%. Controlled studies at experimental stations indicate that this figure may be to low. Unconfirmed reports from several mid-west experimental stations indicate that between 20 and 30% of the female swine bred to farrow in the spring of 1950 failed to farrow. Approximately 30% of the gilts and sows bred in the South Dakota State College Swine Farm in the fall of 1949 failed to farrow, Also a considerable number of gilts which were to be bred were …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

SOuth Dakota is one of the most important beef cattle producing states in the nation, ranking fifth on the average between 1943-1947. The number of beef cattle in SOuth Dakota has been increasing during the past several years.

The twenty-two western counties of South Dakota, the portion of the state generally considered as the range area, comprise 37, 130 square miles or forty-eight percent of the total acreage of the state. On January 1, 1947 …
