Aids For The Shopper, Anita Andrews

SDSU Extension Circulars

It has been said that quality speaks for itself, and this is especially true of quality in material. The design and color of a garment may be lovely, but if a closer observation reveals the fact that the material is poor in quality, the dress immediately loses some of its former charm. To be able to recognize quality is the first requisite of a good buyer. What is the basis for judging quality? The question is difficult to answer, since some of the requisites of quality are not tangible. It is the tangible points on which a study of materials …

Hardy Roses For South Dakota, N.E. Hansen

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

The rose is the favorite flower of the entire civilized world. Can we imagine civilized society today getting along without roses as messengers of friendship, sympathy and love? There is no adequate substitute for this choice gift of Nature-the "Queen of Flowers." Most of the fine standard cultivated roses of the present day have been bred up through many centuries from the roses of the Orient. They represent thousands of years of work of earnest, patient effort in plant improvement. But they are not for our open prairies. The work of improvement and development must be done over again with …

Experiments In Plant Heredity, N.E. Hansen

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

The fruit-breeding experiments at this station since 1895 have yielded the many new hardy fruits described in Bulletin No. 224. Some of them have become popular and are now widely grown in many western states and north into Canada. These thirty-three years of work in producing several hundred thousand fruit seedlings have enabled the writer to make some deductions which have been presented in addresses prepared for International Science meetings and published in the reports of these associations. It appears best at this time to publish three of the papers in order to make them available to a larger audience. …

Self Feeders In Dairy Calf Feeding, T.M. Olson

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

Self-feeders have been used with good results in feeding swine, cattle and poultry. The self-feeder has been particularly popular with feeders during the fattening period, since it usually results in the consumption of more feed and thus more rapid and economical gains than jn the case of hand-fed animals. The saving of labor is also an item, under some conditions, which justifies the use of self-feeders.

County Extension Work In South Dakota, Extension Service, South Dakota State College Of Agriculture And Mechanic Arts

SDSU Extension Circulars

County extension work in South Dakota is now completing its 15th year, under the Smith-Lever bill passed by Congress in 1914. Those 15 years have seen many changes and developments in the farming and farm home-making of the state, and for many of these changes and improvements county extension work has been largely responsible. To acquaint readers with what the county service is now doing and planning to do toward making our farms and rural communities better and more profitable places to live, this circular is published. In addition to presenting a brief summary of activities during 1928, a plan …

Milk, The Growth Food For Health, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

Milk is the only product provided by nature to serve solely as food. It adequately serves as a foundation for an efficient diet, when used regularly and liberally, both for children and adults. In Extension Circular 275, "Food Needs for Health," it was brought out that an adequate diet supplied the materials required to take care of the three food needs by providing materials for growth and repair (proteins, calcium, phosphorous, iron, other minerals, water and vitamins), materials for heat and energy (fat, starches, sugar), and materials for regulating body processes (vitamins, alkaline salts, laxative materials including roughage, and water). …

Our Changing Agriculture : A Report On Extension Work In South Dakota, A. E. Anderson

SDSU Extension Circulars

This circular gives a brief record of important extension service activities as they are related to outstanding changes that have taken and are taking place in South Dakota's agriculture. Many of the results of past extension work are just beginning to be felt and many other developments are only starting. Therefore, this circular has to do with present activities of the extension service and with present conditions, as well as with changes. The last ten years have seen remarkable progress but the next ten should bring even greater results in efficient production, profitable marketing, and better living.

Food Needs For Health, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

Observe the individuals about you. You will notice that physically the best differs from the ordinary and that they vary in degree of fitness from the physically perfect individual (in minority) to the person decidedly handicapped by physical defects. Parents should know the main characteristics of a well-developed child and the factors influencing good development. A physically efficient adult is the product of a well-developed child and youth. Similar facts having a bearing on agricultural problems have been recognized. There was little progress in the improvement of the quality in livestock and corn until those interested had in mind an …

The Health Value Of Whole Grains (Quick Breads And Cookies), Susan Z. Wilder

SDSU Extension Circulars

The grains are more widely distributed than any other one food. Thirty-five to forty-five per cent of the diet of Americans and Europeans is made of grain products. In this country grains vie with potatoes for a place on the menu. About 35 per cent of the diet of the Chinese and Japanese is rice. The southern negro's main food is cornmeal. The grains are truly the "staff of life." The importance of the grains as a food staple was emphasized at the time of the World War. The supply of grains, especially wheat, was carefully guarded. Its control and …

Regulating And Coordinating Health Factors (Salads), Susan Z. Wilder

SDSU Extension Circulars

Until recent years fruits and vegetables were looked upon as expensive foods that did not contribute very much to the welfare of the human race. Even the early research workers considered them of poor dietary value. Meat, potatoes, bread, fat and sugar were the main standbys. But the diets prepared for and tested on experimental animals did not bring the results in health, length of life and reproduction of the species that they were expected to. It was then that research workers began looking elsewhere for the reason and found that substances contained in fruits and vegetables were invaluable from, …

Profitable Farming Systems For The Intensive Spring Wheat Area In South Dakota, C.A. Bonnen., R.H. Rogers

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

The plan of the Department of Farm Economics of South Dakota State College is to study in detail the organization and operation of farms in each of the principal type-of-farming areas in the State. The object of these studies is to determine the systems of farming likely to give good results in an area over a period of years, including enterprise combinations which appear advantageous; practices giving good results in the principal enterprises; and adjustments between and within the enterprises likely to be desirable with changing conditions.

Cow Testing Pays, G. Heebink

SDSU Extension Circulars

The average cow kept for dairy purposes in South Dakota produces scarcely 3300 pounds of milk in a year. Her yearly butterfat production is .estimated to be in the neighborhood of 125 to 130 pounds. Information as to the amount of profit such cows bring their owners has been obtained since 1923 during four years of organized testing in the eastern part of the state. These records show that a cow which gives about 3300 pounds of milk or 125 pounds of butterfat in a year produces an income over feed cost of approximately $25. - Quite a number of …

Better Team Hitches For South Dakota, W. R. Hauser

SDSU Extension Circulars

South Dakota has 160,000 less horses now than it had seven years ago. This has resulted in an increasing demand for more definite information in regard to multiple hitches and how to make them. To some it might seem unnecessary to explain in detail the methods of constructing these different hitches and the importance of proper hitches on different farm implements because of the fact that farmers have worked horses for the past forty years and will continue to work them indefinitely. Nevertheless, it seems that many men today work horses to a great disadvantage because they, seemingly, have no …

Staked Green Corn For Cattle, J.W. Wilson

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

1. Stacking green bundle corn is one of the poorest ways of preserving the corn plant for feed in the winter time.
2. Unless a feed is highly palatable cattle will not do well, and will not even retain their original weight and condition when forced to subsist on a feed of this kind.
3. The results of this and other experiments at this station show that the value of corn fodder and corn silage as a feed during a preliminary feeding period depends on the condition of the corn plant, as to maturity, when cut for fodder or when …

Grow Healthy Chicks, D. C. Henderson

SDSU Extension Circulars

The prevention of chick troubles depends upon the adoption and carrying to completion of a definite sanitation plan for raising chicks. The sanitation plan as outlined for members of the South Dakota women's extension clubs is based upon the experiences and results of cooperators in a Grow Healthy Chicks campaign carried out during the season of 1927. The results of this program are shown in Table 1. (See more in text.)
