Growing Pedigreed Sugar Beet Seed In South Dakota, 1910, J.H. Shepard

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

The work recorded in this Bulletin is a continuation of the co-operative work on sugar beets by this Station and the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture. The work has proceeded under the same terms and supervision as that recorded in Bulletin 106, 117, and 121. But in the spring of 1910 Dr. Townsend resigned his position with the Department of Agriculture and Mr. W. A. Orton succeeded him and immediately took charge of the York for the Department. The work in hybridization was under the care of Mr. H. B. Shaw. Mr. Middleton continued …

Some New Fruits, N.E. Hansen Jun 1911

Some New Fruits, N.E. Hansen

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

This bulletin may be considered as a continuation of Bulletin 87. The Improvement of the Western Sand Cherry; and Bulletin 108, New Hybrid Fruits. The season of 1909 was favorable to the production of a heavy crop of these new hybrid plums, whereas the crop of native plums was extremely light. Last year, 1910, the disastrous late May freezes destroyed the crop, a condition common to the larger part of the northern Mississippi Valley. At this writing, June 1911, the trees are set with a heavy crop of fruit. This work of improving the native South Dakota fruits was begun …

Breeding And Feeding Sheep, J.W. Wilson May 1911

Breeding And Feeding Sheep, J.W. Wilson

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

Sheep-farming has been practiced since the earliest times, and is one of the most profitable branches of the livestock industry. The modern breeds are the result of careful selection and breeding of those best adapted to the various localities, each breed being established for distinct purposes. Soil, climate and feed in these localities determined to a large extent the characteristics of the breed. Nearly all of the common breeds are of foreign origin, and the turn controlling factors in their development were the production of mutton and the production of wool. The sheep has been termed the plant scavenger of …


Progress In Wheat Investigations, Clifford Willlis, W.L. Burlison May 1911

Progress In Wheat Investigations, Clifford Willlis, W.L. Burlison

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

Wheat rising is considered the foundation of South Dakota's agriculture. If the crop is good and the price fair the farmers feel that all will go well for another year; but if the yield is poor and the price meagre the future outlook is dark. Wheat ranks first in monetary value and first in acreage over any other crop grown in this state. Indian corn has greatly increased in acreage while the area devoted to wheat production is more or less fluctuating. When we consider the amount of new land that is being brought into cultivation in South Dakota it …


Alkali Soils, C. Willis, J.V. Bopp Apr 1911

Alkali Soils, C. Willis, J.V. Bopp

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

The continued demand for information concerning the distribution of alkali soils and proper methods of handling them have led this department to make these preliminary investigations. In coming in contact with farmers in the eastern portion of South Dakota, where there is an abundant supply of rain-fall, the question was asked many times, "What shall we do with small areas where alkali is making its presence known by killing crops?" It seems that the system of cultivation of the soil has induced such excessive evaporation that the salts have been left on the surface. It has also been observed that …

Milk Powder Starters In Creameries, C. Larsen, W. White Dec 1910

Milk Powder Starters In Creameries, C. Larsen, W. White

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

Summary
1. Milk powder can be successfully used for starter making in creameries. It is a suitable substitute for natural skim milk in creameries where skim milk is not easily obtainable.
2. Two drums of dried milk were kept in good condition in a room adjacent to the creamery for over a year at ordinary room temperature.
3. Three ounces of milk powder to one quart of pure water are the proportions which gave the best results in these investigations.
4. The milk powder should be dissolved in pure warm water, preferably clean distilled water. Pure well water also give …

Fattening Steers Of Different Ages, James W. Wilson Nov 1910

Fattening Steers Of Different Ages, James W. Wilson

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

Summary
1. Hogs made more gain following three year old steers than when following yearling steers.
2. The younger the steer the fewer the pounds of feed for a pound of gain.
3. The loss, in shipping per head was greater when the cattle were fed sheaf oats enroute than when they were fed prairie hay.
4. The largest gain for feed consumed was made during the first thirty days when the steers were being put on full feed.
5. A longer feeding period was required to get yearling steers in a good marketable condition than was required for the …


Progress Of Grain Investigations, Clifford Willis, Manley Champlin Nov 1910

Progress Of Grain Investigations, Clifford Willis, Manley Champlin

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

As South Dakota has led her sister states in per capita production of new wealth for a number of years it has seemed advisable to devote a comparatively large amount of experimental work to the principal sources of that new wealth, namely, the grain crops, including wheat, barley, oats, millet, grain sorghums, emmer, flax and corn. This work has, of necessity, been basic, consisting mainly in determining which varieties are best adapted to the climatic and soil conditions found in various parts of the state. Now that this has in a large measure been determined, it is the chief purpose …

Creamery Butter, C. Larsen, T.H. Lund, L.F. Miller Jun 1910

Creamery Butter, C. Larsen, T.H. Lund, L.F. Miller

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

The results reported in this Bulletin are a continuation of the investigations on the acidity of creamery butter, a preliminary report of which was published as Bulletin No. 116 of this Station under the title, "Acidity of Creamery Butter and Its Relation to Quality." In this latter Bulletin it was shown that no definite relation was found to exist between the score and the acidity of fresh butter, but that experiments then in progress indicated that the acid test was a fair measure of the extent and rapidity of the deterioration of butter held in storage. Investigations on the acidity …

Progress In Variety Tests Of Alfalfa, Clifford Willis, J.V. Bopp Apr 1910

Progress In Variety Tests Of Alfalfa, Clifford Willis, J.V. Bopp

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

The interest manifested in this forage plant shows its widespread and rapidly increasing popularity. Of seemingly unlimited productiveness, unhampered by many factors which affect the growth of corn, cereals and grasses, it keeps pushing its boundaries, north, east, south and west, to higher altitudes, until only few areas are not supplied. In these regions where it is unable to produce from four to six cuttings, it is content with one or two, and even then when given a chance by a favorable season, responds with a third. Inquiries concerning the culture indicate a determined effort on the part of all …

Fattening Lambs, J.W. Wilson Mar 1910

Fattening Lambs, J.W. Wilson

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

The livestock industry has been and is a prominent factor in solving the problem of retaining and improving the fertility of the soil. It has been demonstrated that raising crops year after year on the same land and selling them in their natural form, without the use of animals to produce manure, materially impairs the producing capacity of the soil. Commercial fertilizers are used extensively farther east, which render the cost of production comparatively expensive. Roberts, of the New York Experiment Station, found that sheep manure was worth more per ton as a fertilizer than that made by any other …
