Acculturation Of The Dakota Indians, Vernon D. Malan

Agricultural Experiment Station Rural Sociology Pamphlets (1940-1977)

In this pamphlet the process of acculturation among the Dakota Indians--the change which has taken place in Dakota culture as a result of contact with the dominant Caucasian society--has been analyzed. We may conclude from this study that in general culture change was most likely to occur among the Dakotas when the new culture elements satisfied some basic or secondary drive of the people. Culture change was likewise dependent upon the manner in which the new ideas were introduced to them. If the changes were attempted through coercion, they were not so readily accepted as those made voluntarily. The policies …

Beef Cattle Breeding Research In South Dakota, C. A. Dinkel, A. L. Musson

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Long-range research, designed to help cattlemen improve their herds, is under way in South Dakota. This publication reports the progress to elate on this research in beef cattle breeding. The breeder of purebred beef cattle should guide his breeding program according to the demands of various groups-commerical producer, feeder, packer, consumer. It is important that he consider the wants of each. The commerical producer has certain requirements in terms of conformation and weaning or yearling weights. The feeder has certain requirements in terms of conformation and rate and efficiency of gain. The packer has certain requirements in terms of yield …

Better Agriculture Through Research In South Dakota, 1887-1956, I. B. Johnson

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Agricultural research in South Dakota has progressed with the state. In fact, the early experimental work was begun even before South Dakota was admitted to statehood. Federal funds to establish experimental work in the Dakota Territory were made available under the Hatch Act in 1887. Accordingly, the following year the first main experiment station was established in South Dakota State College, Brookings. There were five departments at the start – agriculture, botany-horticulture and forestry, chemistry, entomology, and veterinary science. Each department employed by one scientist. (See more in text)

Feeding Value Of Early, Medium And Late Cut Prairie Hay, L. B. Embry, G. F. Sastler, O. E. Olson

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

Prairie hay makes up a major part of the harvested feeds that are fed to cattle and sheep in many areas of South Dakota. A large number of animals are also grazed most of the winter on the matured and standing grass in the range area of the state.
Chemical analysis of samples cut from various areas of the state, reflecting the extremes in harvesting dates (June to October), show this hay varies from more than 10 to less than 4 percent protein. Stage of maturity when harvested was found to have a big effect on the protein and phosphorus …

Investigations Of Methyl Donors And Linseed Oil Meal In Alleviating Selenium Poisoning, Eriks Leitis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The problem of selenium poisoning has been extensively reviewed. Although a considerable amount of work has been done on this problem, the mechanism of the toxic action of selenium is not understood. This work has undertaken as part of an effort to determine the nature of the protective effect of certain substances against selenium poisoning, in that this might aid in understanding its toxic action. The conflicting findings concerning the effectiveness of methionine against selenium poisoning were obtained with a variety of diets and under a variety of other experimental conditions. It appeared, therefore, that certain unknown factors or conditions …

Digestibility Of Rations And Nitrogen Balance By Lambs As Influenced By Animal Fat, Urea, Soybean Meal And Linseed Meal, James King Turner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Feed processing and handling of livestock feeds have benefited from the use of fats in many ways. Nutritionally speaking, several reasons in favor of the use of stabilized animal fats in feeds have been reported. However, the optimum level and value of added fats in the rations for ruminants are not well established and further work is needed. It is known that fat is absorbed more slowly from the intestine than either carbohydrates or protein, and this may be an important factor in the utilization of added fat in the diet. Research with urea as a protein sparer has been …

Consumption And Preference Patterns For Butter And Margarine In Two South Dakota Cities, Norman L. Rollag

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Present quality standards for butter are based to a large extent on taste preferences of consumers which were assumed to exist a number of years ago. This study endeavored to gather additional evidence regarding consumer preferences for various flavors, texture and color qualities found in butter and the other fats and oils. This study also attempted to determine what influences personal characteristics (such as occupation, annual family income or factors associated with place of birth, national origin, rural or urban background, religious preferences, and age of respondent) had upon consumption of various spreads, especially butter and margarine. The major objectives …

Modification Of Selenium Distribution In The Rat, Ivan S. Palmer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In many semi-arid regions plants may take up toxic quantities of selenium. If livestock consume very large amounts of such plants they will ingest enough selenium to produce toxic symptoms. This presents a serious problem to the farmers and ranchers in such areas is certainly the cause of much financial loss.

Since the discovery by Franke in 1934 that selenium was the cause of the condition then known as “alkali disease”, a great deal of work has been done on the problem of selenium poisoning. As a result of this research, several substances have been discovered which give complete or …

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

While the specific objectives and the methods have not been identical in all states, the general objectives were quite similar and can be briefly stated as follows:
1. To make a biological evaluation of the effect of nitrogen and . potassium fertilizers added to soils on the availability of fertilizer phosphorus.
2. To study the effect of level of nitrogen and potassium content of the soil on the yield and phosphorus uptake of various crops.
3. To determine the effect of placement of nitrogen and potassium on phosphorus utilization by various crops.
4. To determine the mechanism by which one …

Irrigating Vegetables And Small Fruits, Martin Fogel, Lloyd Ayres

SDSU Extension Circulars

Vegetables and small fruits are grown more extensively in South Dakota than most people realize. Almost every farm has a garden where vegetables and small fruits are grown for immediate use. In every town and city, gardens of varying sizes are found. These home gardens produce a large amount of wholesome, high nutritional food. Market gardening is an important enterprise near the larger towns in South Dakota. It is a highly specialized business, though oftentime it is done on a very limited acreage. The detrimental effects of prolonged dry periods, which have caused complete failure of vegetable and small fruit …

Observations On Parasitism In Sheep In Northwestern South Dakota, B. S. Harshfield, F. N. Carlson, T. A. Dorsey

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

The 1944 figure was 766,600 sheep for that area, showing more than 100 percent increase in a 20-year period. Between 1944 and 1950 sheep numbers declined in these six counties to 299,000. At least three factors accounted for the decrease after 1944: (1) the difficulty in obtaining labor; (2) favorable prices for cattle which could be raised with less labor; and (3) the prevalence of losses of lambs on range from dysentery, a condition that had existed for 5 to 7 years. It was the seriousness of the lamb losses that prompted the work reported here.

Food Habits Of South Dakota Women, L. M. Burrill, B. Alsup

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

The increase in the number of older people in South Dakota as well as in the population of the nation as a whole has' emphasized the need for study of the food habits of individuals as they grow older.
This interview-survey of the food habits of 339 South Dakota women 30 years or older selected by area sampling was conducted in the summer and fall of 1949. The interview schedule included information about the woman's family, activities, and general health as well as a 24-hour dietary recall. A general description of South Dakota women and their food habits can be …
