Forage Plants At The Highmore Sub-Station, 1906, W.A. Wheeler, S. Balz Mar 1907

Forage Plants At The Highmore Sub-Station, 1906, W.A. Wheeler, S. Balz

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

The season of 1906 at the Highmore Experiment Station was one of considerable rainfall. The precipitation for the year amounted to about twenty-five inches which is but a trifle under that of 1905. This precipitation, however, was not the greatest in the same months of the year as that in 1905. In 1906 considerable rain fell during the months of May and August, with but very little during the months of June and July. In 1905 the fall was very uniform and heavy during the months of May, June and July. Both seasons were favorable to the production of large …

The Feeding Value Of Speltz In Beef And Pork Production, J.W. Wilson, H.G. Skinner Jan 1907

The Feeding Value Of Speltz In Beef And Pork Production, J.W. Wilson, H.G. Skinner

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

Three subjects were investigated in this experiment:
(1) The value of speltz, both whole and ground, for steers as compared to whole corn.
(2) The value of speltz, both whole and ground for the production of pork.
(3) The comparative value of speltz and corn for hogs when following steers fed in these grains.
Speltz is of Russian origin and has evidently found a home in the semi-arid region of the Northwest. The real name is Emmer (Triticum dicocuum,) but speltz is the commonly accepted term. With the exception of three countries west of the Missouri River it is now …

Macaroni Or Durum Wheats: A Continuation Of Bulletin 92, J.H. Shepard Jun 1906

Macaroni Or Durum Wheats: A Continuation Of Bulletin 92, J.H. Shepard

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

At the close of the season of 1904, I deemed it advisable to make a selection of the most promising of the Durum wheats, for further investigation along the same exhaustive lines laid down in Bulletin 92 of this Station. My reasons were twofold. In the first place, such work would tend to give a more extended basis for judgment, and in the second place, would also give an opportunity to test out the wheats grown at Highmore under absolutely ideal conditions. The season of 1904 at Highmore was practically a perfect one, so far as the growing of Durum …

Crop Rotation, J.S. Cole Jun 1906

Crop Rotation, J.S. Cole

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

An extensive experiment in crop rotation has been under way at the South Dakota Experiment Station since 1897. This experiment was begun by Professor E.C. Chilcott, now of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, and was carried on continuously by him until the close of the last fiscal year. The writer has, however, been connected with the work as an assistant in the Department for six years. The field work has since its beginning been uninterruptedly in charge of Mr. William West, foreman of the Experiment Station farm. One bulletin, No. 79, which is now out of print, was published …

Speltz And Millet For The Production Of Baby Beef, J.W. Wilson, H.G. Skinner May 1906

Speltz And Millet For The Production Of Baby Beef, J.W. Wilson, H.G. Skinner

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

1. In feeding calves for the production of baby beef the following prices were obtained per bushel for grains used: Corn 47 cents, oats 26 cents, millet 38 cents and speltz 33 cents.
2. They were shipped to Chicago under two years old; averaged 1,250 pounds, and sold on their merits in lots, same as they were fed, at the following prices per hundred pounds: The corn lot, $6.25; the oats lot, $6.00; the millet lot, $5.75; the speltz lot, $5.85.
3. It required .37 of a pound more of ground millet seed than it did ground corn to produce …

Forage Plants And Cereals At The Highmore Sub-Station For 1904-5, W.A. Wheeler, J.S. Cole, S. Balz

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

The State Agricultural Experiment Station at Highmore, Hyde County, South Dakota, has been in operation for seven years of the location in testing and developing drouth [sic] resistant crops. Hyde County is fairly representative of a large portion of the state from the James River west, which is not well represented by the Brookings Station. The primary purpose of the Highmore Station was to test and develop grasses and forage crops, as it was supposed that this region would be largely a grass country instead of a farming country. Later developments have shown it desirable and in fact necessary to …

The Treatment Of Nail Pricks Of The Horse's Foot, E.L. Moore Feb 1906

The Treatment Of Nail Pricks Of The Horse's Foot, E.L. Moore

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

The cases forming the basis for this work were for the most part presented at the regular clinics of the college, although some were private patients, and in the latter cases there were no special means for control beyond what one usually finds around the farm. When the horse was presented at clinics he was placed upon the operating table in order to confine him and prevent undue movement during the operation. In a few cases only was the injury of recent date. The term foot will be held to include only those structures inclosed within the horny box. Briefly …

Plums In South Dakota, N.E. Hansen May 1905

Plums In South Dakota, N.E. Hansen

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

It has been definitely established that plums of large size and excellent quality can be raised· in great abundance in all the farming regions of South Dakota. And in the grazing regions it is simply a question of furnishing the necessary irrigation. There is nothing in the soil or climate of this state to prevent the successful cultivation for home use and market of this luscious fruit, providing suitable varieties are selected and the proper care given. It may be safely said that no farm home is complete at least without a small plum orchard, and even in the back …

Macaroni Wheat: Its Milling And Chemical Characteristics And Its Adaptation For Making Bread And Macoroni, J.H. Shepard Apr 1905

Macaroni Wheat: Its Milling And Chemical Characteristics And Its Adaptation For Making Bread And Macoroni, J.H. Shepard

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

This Bulletin is a continuation of the work reported in Bulletin No. 82 of this Station. But the work has assumed a wider scope in order to throw more light upon the various industrial uses for which Macaroni wheat is adapted. Of late much controversy has arisen concerning the Macaroni wheat industry. Many and conflicting reports have been circulated in the daily press and in trade journals. It is true that many statements have been prompted by prejudice and adverse trade interest. But in all the discussions the fact that there are many kinds of Macaroni wheat, each with its …

Tankage And Other By-Products For Pigs. Shrunken Wheat For Swine., J.W. Wilson, H.G. Skinner Feb 1905

Tankage And Other By-Products For Pigs. Shrunken Wheat For Swine., J.W. Wilson, H.G. Skinner

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

The word "by-product" is applied to a class of substances which during the process of manufacture at the mills and factories remain after the more valuable materials have been extracted. There are several kinds of these by-products in the market for sale as feeding stuffs, such as gluten meal, cottonseed Meal, oil meal, tankage, blood meal, bran, etc., and some have boon found to be of great value Lo the stockman when fed in conjunction with our commonly grown grains. They are valuable for feeding purposes because they contain, in abundance, the protein or nitrogenous part of a feed so …

Preliminary Experiments With Vapor Treatments For Prevention Of Stinking Smut Of Wheat, W.A. Wheeler Nov 1904

Preliminary Experiments With Vapor Treatments For Prevention Of Stinking Smut Of Wheat, W.A. Wheeler

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

The stinking smut of wheat is a disease so common as to be very familiar to the farmers of South Dakota. Its presence can be easily detected by the characteristic smutted kernels in the threshed grain and by the disagreeable odor. So much has been written upon the details of the growth of the parasite which causes the disease that the facts with not be taken up or discussed in this bulletin. . . . In view of these facts the writer in the winter of 1903-04 began a series of experiments to secure a treatment for smut which would …

Breeding Hardy Fruits, N.E. Hansen Jun 1904

Breeding Hardy Fruits, N.E. Hansen

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

Over a large area of the prairie northwest, many of the fruits grown in the eastern and southern states are deficient in hardiness. This has been demonstrated by thousands of planters. The climatic extremes of the northwestern prairies do not make fruit culture impossible; but care must be taken in the selection of varieties. The fruit lists adopted by the various state horticultural societies give the general experience with varieties. The beginner should confine his first main planting to the sorts which have stood the test, but often the list is so short that the varieties recommended for trial are …

The Western Sand Cherry, N.E. Hansen, C.E. Bessey, C. Wedge, R.A. Emerson Jun 1904

The Western Sand Cherry, N.E. Hansen, C.E. Bessey, C. Wedge, R.A. Emerson

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

This Bulletin is intended to be a preliminary report and announcement of progress and not a complete monograph. The story of the work at this Station is told mainly by the twenty cuts illustrating these pages. But as the Western Sand Cherry is a new fruit just passing from its native prairie home over the fence· into the cultivated garden, it will be of interest to give some of the main facts in the history of its development. No claim is made as to completeness. An effort, however, has been made to give the salient points.

Fattening Range Lambs, J.W. Wilson, H.G. Skinner

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

Certain sections of South Dakota, known as the range, where live stock is produced the cheapest, furnish a large per cent of the lambs for the feeding yards of this and the adjoining states. On account of the small amount of rainfall, the native grasses in this section cure while standing on the ground and furnish a very palatable and nutritious feed for stock. The lambs are purchased in the fall when from five to seven months old, pastured on rape or good pasture grasses until cold weather, then put into the feed yard and grained during the winter months …

Millet For Fattening Swine, J.W. Wilson, H.G. Skinner Mar 1904

Millet For Fattening Swine, J.W. Wilson, H.G. Skinner

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

This experiment was undertaken to ascertain the relative feeding value of millet, as a fattening ration when fed to hogs, as compared to that of the more commonly grown cereals. Various millets have been widely grown in this state for several years and considered a very valuable forage crop for cattle and sheep if harvested at the proper stage of maturity. There is probably no crop that can be sowed that will mature in so short South Dakota, and produce so large a yield of forage or grain per acre, as millet. There are, however, numerous new varieties of millet …

Macaroni Wheat: Its Milling And Chemical Characteristics, J.H. Shepard Dec 1903

Macaroni Wheat: Its Milling And Chemical Characteristics, J.H. Shepard

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

In the year 1900 this Station commenced a co-operative investigation of the different varieties of macaroni wheat with the Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture. At that time it was decided that the Department of Chemistry of this Station should undertake the work of determining the chemical and milling characteristics of the different wheats grown. It is evident that in introducing a new crop care should be taken that only varieties adapted to our soil and climatic conditions should be recommended and distributed for general cultivation. Especially is this rue of a cereal crop, such as wheat, …
