Plant Diseases Common, Destructive, Preventable In South Dakota, W.F. Buckhholtz

Agricultural Experiment Station Plant Pathology Pamphlets (1942-1962)

Abundant agricultural production is a victory goal and in South Dakota is based on an abundance of feed, forage and cash field crops and an adequate home vegetable and fruit supply. On the other hand, soil conservation and the maintenance of South Dakota’s agricultural productivity depends on a practice of moderate rather than wholesale over-cropping of cultivated land. Shortages of labor and machinery place a definite limit on the amount of really good farming that can be done it South Dakota for the duration of the war. One of the ways to insure maximum crop production from a minimum of …

Active Projects In The United States And Canada Dealing With Grasshopper Research, H.C. Severin

Agricultural Experiment Station Entomology Pamphlets (1940-1952)

The sixteenth annual meetings of the Rocky Mountain Conference of Entomologists were held at Cameron Pass, Colorado, August 17 to August 21, 1941. Some time was devoted during these meetings to a discussion of the research work that is being done at the present with grasshoppers. It was felt by those participating in the discussions that it would be highly desirable if certain data were available concerning grasshopper research projects that are being actively investigated at the present time in the United States and in Canada. The author if this paper was asked to assume the responsibility of formulating an …

Agricultural Experiment Station Mimeograph Pamphlets (1942)

This report is based principally on returns from 1101 farmers located in 28 South Dakota counties. The survey was conducted in an attempt to secure a representative and objective picture of the 1942 farm labor situation, the probable 1943 farm labor situation and the influence of present and probable labor and machinery shortages on farm production plans for 1943. The reports from the 1101 farmers cover only their farms.

Farm Tenure In South Dakota [:] Some Of Its Economic And Sociological Aspects, Alvin E. Coons, Walter L. Slocum

Agricultural Experiment Station Mimeograph Pamphlets (1942)

Almost without exception county land-use planning committees have listed tenancy among the more important land-use problems in South Dakota. This concern is due to the increase in tenancy, to the growing obstacles in the way of those who wish to become land owners and to some extent to the existence of unsatisfactory relationships between landlord and tenant. Tenancy, however, is only one aspect of the much broader land tenure picture which includes all phases of the control and use of the land. To become a farm owner has long been considered a desirable and legitimate ambition of farm operators, or …

Tillage Methods In Grasshopper Control, Gerald B. Spawn

Agricultural Experiment Station Entomology Pamphlets (1940-1952)

In the light of the present world food situation, the control of insects assumes a role of major importance in the agricultural program. Various insects, among which grasshoppers are one of the most notorious, attack our growing groups, upon which we depend for food. Others attack grains in storage; plant and animal products of many kinds; clothing and articles of furniture; and our domestic livestock. Man himself is not immune from attack as is borne out of by the epidemics of louse transmitted typhus which are today growing in extent in certain parts of Europe. The losses sustained by mankind …

Opportunities For Better Family Living Through Conserving Your Health, Mary A. Covert

SDSU Extension Circulars

The ability of your family to be happy and successful depends largely upon the personal efficiency and cooperation of each member. Authorities place attitude and ideals as first requisites to efficiency, and health as a close second. Someone defined health as "that condition of the body that makes possible the highest enjoyment of life, and the greatest constructive work." Another adds that "positive health makes one welcome the new day and the new task with assurance." Health is possible for you but you cannot attain it 'by mere wishing. It is built up through knowledge and persistent following of a …

How Fine Should Grain Be Ground For Milk Cows?, G. C. Wallis, T. M. Olson

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Introduction
The ground beef bin on the Jones farm was empty. Mr. Jones pulled the switch and soon the little mill was humming a song that scarcely changed a note as the first few shovels of grain disappeared down its mouth.
Mr. Jones noted that the grain was scarcely more than cracked. He readjusted the mill to grind it finer, and soon it was spewing out an entirely different product. Did Mr. Jones make a mistake when he readjusted his mill to grind the feed finer for his dairy cows?
Results of an experiment conducted at the South Dakota Agricultural …

Should Farmers Emphasize Wheat Or Livestock In North Central South Dakota?, A. G. Nelson, G. E. Korzan

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

This STUDY was made in an attempt to give information on the relative monetary advantages of producing wheat or livestock as the main enterprise on farms in North Central South Dakota (Fig. 1). The area varies considerably in natural resources, selected sections being well adapted to wheat production while others are suited only for the production of livestock. There is little question what should be produced in such sections but in other parts it is debatable whether wheat or livestock production is the more profitable. Wheat production appears to have been relatively more profitable on many farms prior to 1930, …
