Relative Values Of Feed Proteins For Dairy Cows, C. Larsen, T. Wright, H. Jones, H. Hoover

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

Will a given amount of the protein of oil meal, for example, be of equal value in supplying the needs of a milk cow as will the same amount of the protein of some other feed? To find a satisfactory answer to the above question, asked by many dairymen, has been the aim of the present investigation as reported in this bulletin. It has long been known that the protein from different sources varied in its ability to supply the protein demands of an animal. Numerous investigations have dealt with a study of the so-called "pure proteins" which have been …

As written history of the wars of the world cannot make mention of the countless heroes, who, unknown to the general public, gave their all, even life itself, so unrecorded are the names of the majority citizenship of this and other states which gave loyal service, both at home and abroad, in the great war just ended. No detailed account can be given in this report of any of the many campaigns successfully carried out under the direction of the 62 County Councils of Defense.

The Community Meat Ring, John M. Brander

SDSU Extension Circulars

"Fresh meat regularly and at reasonable prices” is what a rural community in Douglas county has adopted as its slogan. To have fresh meat whenever desired from farm butchered livestock is too often considered practically impossible on account of the rather limited amount of fresh meat that a family could use before the meat spoils. To get it regularly from a butcher shop involves added time in addition to the fact that very high prices are charged. The salting, curing, smoking, and other methods of meat preservation are practiced to a certain extent by farmers throughout the country, but supplies …

The Influence Of Length Of Wheat Heads On Resulting Crops, A.N. Hume, Manley Champlin, M. Fowlds

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

Summary
(1) Practically, it would be helpful in wheat breeding to know whether one could depend on picking out the relatively longest (and accordingly finest appearing) heads, as a method for securing the highest yielding strains. Page 140.
(2) The results of the present experiment indicate that relatively long heads did yield slightly higher than similar heads on other plants, in the first generation after the selection of mother heads. Table 1, page 142.
(3) Whatever may have caused the slight increased yield in the first generation, it failed to persist in following generations; which were produced from seed tracing …

Corn Families Of South Dakota, A.N. Hume

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

Summary
1. It is submitted as an expedient of corn breeding, that the mother-ears selected for starting a breeding plot should not only be as numerous as practicable but should also represent as many sources as practicable from among those likely to excel in qualities desired. Page 121.
For the same reason mother-ears should be systematically introduced into the detasseled rows of the breeding plot in succeeding seasons from stocks of other corn breeders and other sources where excellent strains are likely to be found. Page 121.
2. It is submitted as another expedient of corn breeding that high yielding …

Advertising Farm Products, Geo A. Starring

SDSU Extension Circulars

Advertising is now regarded as essential in placing any commodity on the market. Advertising puts goods where they will be of maximum service. It follows that such a place will pay the highest price. Farmers of South Dakota are intensely interested in this phase of marketing. Individual farmers usually look for a local market where the advertising medium is chiefly local. This is especially true in respect t0 the sale and exchange of livestock and seeds of various kinds in smaller lots. A community of farmers who have considerable produce of a certain standard kind might advertise cooperatively to good …

Yields From Two Systems Of Corn Breeding, A.N. Hume

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

Beginning with 1911, and continuing throughout the even cropping seasons following, South Dakota Experiment Station, Agronomy Department has conducted two systems If corn breeding by ear-to-row selection. During the seasons wherein these breeding-plots have been conducted, the actual carrying out of field work and of seed selection has been participated in by all members of Agronomy Department Crops Division. These systems of corn breeding were installed partly with the idea that they might produce comparative results in the form of ear-row-yields which would be helpful in defining a practical corn breeding system, which could be recommended to farmers as superior …

Boys' And Girls' Club Work : Baby Beef Club, Extension Division, South Dakota State College Of Agriculture And Mechanic Arts And U.S. Department Of Agriculture, Cooperating

SDSU Extension Circulars

The raising and feeding of Baby Beef is the one big coming project in South Dakota. The material increase in the value of farm land is making it impossible to keep feeders to the age of 2 to 3 years before finishing them for market. By careful selection, breeding, feeding, and care an animal can be brought to early maturity and placed on the market in prime condition at from 15 to 20 months of age and bring a higher price per pound than older steers. By marketing beef at the baby stage, much valuable feed is saved on the …

Hog Houses For South Dakota, Ralph L. Patty

SDSU Extension Circulars

Good housing is essential to successful hog raising. While several sows may do fairly well with their litters around an old strawstack or shack under favorable weather conditions, it will pay in the long run to figure on good housing and care, if the business is to show the best profit. The circular attempts to put as much helpful material in as little space as possible for anyone planning to build a hoghouse. If changes are made in the plan the details and suggestions should still be of service. It is hard to make changes of any consequence in a …

The Care Of Pullets For Winter Eggs, E. L. Hayes

SDSU Extension Circulars

It is not difficult to secure fall and winter eggs in profitable numbers if we provide suitable conditions and then try to meet those conditions. Such factors as feed, care and even breeding conditions all enter into egg production, but are somewhat limited when compared with early hatching of pullets. Mature pullets of any of the popular breeds will lay winter eggs and there is probably little difference in their actual productive capacity under favorable conditions. There are, however, marked differences in the various breeds with respect to uniformity of color, size or weight of the eggs produced, as well …

Boys' And Girls' Club Work : Sow-Litter Club, Extension Division, South Dakota State College Of Agriculture And Mechanic Arts And U.S. Department Of Agriculture, Cooperating

SDSU Extension Circulars

The demand for more and a better grade of hogs is heard throughout the entire agricultural section of our country. This can be accomplished through careful selection and breeding, followed by the proper methods of feeding and care. Club boys and girls can do much toward bringing this about by entering the sow-litter club. Not only will they find the work profitable, but they will become interested in animal life and the production of quality in pork as well as quantity.

Corn Silage For Beef Production, J.W. Wilson, B.L. Thompson

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

The object of this experiment was to ascertain the feeding value of silage made from corn cut at different stages of growth. In other feeding trials made at this Station it has been shown that corn silage when fed alone without other supplementary feeds produces very satisfactory gains and at a comparatively low cost. Sometimes corn does not mature or is frosted before being put into the silo. These feeding trials were conducted to determine the feed value of corn silage for steers when made under the following conditions:
1. When in the blister or milk stage.
2. When in …

SDSU Extension Circulars

The past year has been one of unusual activity along the various phases of agricultural extension. South Dakota had a program of extension mapped out in accordance with the provisions of the South Dakota law enacted in 1915 and 1917, and also in accordance with the federal Smith-Lever Act passed by Congress in May, 1914. With the declaration of war, Congress and those officials in immediate responsibility realized the great importance of supplying our armies and allies with food. In order to speed up the food production program, Congress made an emergency appropriation. This enabled the States, Relations Service to …
