Summary Of Information Given At Fortified Farming, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

United States farmers have done heroic jobs of producing food during the past 10 years. Now our country needs even greater farm production in 1952. And for future years increasing food demands are likely. Farmers will need to produce more. At the same time we must "fortify our farming" by maintaining and building up our soil.

Gifts For Family And Friends, Anna D. Walker

SDSU Extension Circulars

Part of the joy in giving gifts comes from the making of something special for a friend or family member. The giving of gifts to mark such events as anniversaries, Christmas and Easter is a long established custom. Looking back into history, we read that tribute was given to show homage to royalty and other people of importance. It was thought that the rarer and richer the gift, the greater was the love and respect shown. Rare spices, perfumes, gold and jewels obtained by the giver at great expense and often much hardship were considered suitable gifts for royalty. People …

Cows, Calves And Grass: Effects Of Grazing Intensities On Beef Cow And Calf Production And On Mixed Prairie Vegetation On Western South Dakota Ranges, L. E. Johnson, L. R. Albee, R. O. Smith, A. L. Moxon

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

This bulletin reports the results of a 9-year summer grazing experiment on native ranges in western South Dakota. The experiment was designed to determine the effects of climate and different intensities of grazing on (1) beef production, (2) maintenance of range condition, and (3) foliage yields. Hereford cows and calves were used in the experiment. The work was conducted at the Cottonwood Range Field Station which is located slightly south of the center of western South Dakota and midway between the Missouri River and the Black Hills. It is in the upper watershed of the Bad River.

The Field Baler: Operation And Costs, H. H. Delong

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Few farm machines have met with such rapid acceptance as the field baler. Baling machines have been in existence for many years, but were usually considered as a necessary part of the equipment needed to process hay for shipment. It was not likely that the individual farmer thought baling a necessary step in preparing hay for farm consumption. Today, the field baler, with pick-up attachments and self-tying mechanisms, has became a farm tool to process the hay crop to be feel on the farm. The hay baler compresses the product and facilitates its transportation. Loose hay weighs from 4 to …

Grass Hay At Its Best, A. L. Moxon, G. Gastler, G. E. Staples, R. M. Jordam

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

With an ever increasing demand for food and the need for greater efficiency of production, it is important that the nutrients available in grass be conserved and utilized to the greatest possible extent. To accomplish this it is necessary that stockmen be provided with more complete and accurate information pertaining to the nutritive value of hay from this area. That is the purpose of this bulletin, based on investigations that have been conducted during the past eight years by the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station.

A Building Survey Of South Dakota Institutions Under The Direction Of The Regents Of Education, South Dakota Regents Of Education

Administrative Publications

A building survey for the institutions of South Dakota under the jurisdiction of the Regents of Education was prepared by the schools concerned. The recommendations and preliminary information are the work of he Department or Finance and the Regents of Education. The idea of preparing a building survey tor the institutions under the direction of the Regents of Education came from the Appropriations Committee of the regular Legislature Session of 1949. In that session, members constantly asked the very pertinent questions: “How much more building will be necessary after the current appropriations have been made?” “How long has it been …

Choosing a Breed: The question "Which breed shall I raise" confronts every purebred hog producer. He may have a personal preference which will assist him in choosing a breed. If he has no such preference, it would be well worth while to consider the most popular breed in the community. This procedure will help the breeder to gain popularity, in establishing a reputation, and in attracting more buyers into the community. Each breeder may believe he has the best breed because of size, feeding qualities, higher dressing percentage or some other factor; but there is more difference within breeds than …

Sheep Production In South Dakota, R. M. Jordan

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Sheep production in South Dakota offers farmers an additional means of stabilizing their income and production. The two cash crops per year, wool and lambs, always have been popular. With the necessity of planting more grasses and legumes to conserve our land, the need of putting more emphasis on roughage-consuming animals is evident. During World War II the sheep numbers in the United States declined about 40 percent from their high peak of 1942. However, since the United States produces only a fraction of the wool that this country consumes, and with sheep numbers likely to stay below the peak …

Grasses And Legumes For South Dakota, M. W. Adams, J. G. Ross, W. W. Worzella, A. N. Hume

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Farm operators in South Dakota are seeding considerable acreages of previously cropped land back to grasses and legumes. In recent years the state agricultural experiment stations and the United States Department of Agriculture have introduced or developed species of grasses and legumes which are superior to our native types for seed, hay and grazing purposes. A few outstanding contributions in this field of research have been the work with crested wheatgrass, Ree wheatgrass, and Ladak, Cossack and Ranger alfalfa. Grasses and legumes rank far ahead of any other crop in importance in this state. At present, more than 28,400,000 acres …

Greenbug Control, Wm. M. Rogoff

Agricultural Experiment Station Entomology Pamphlets (1940-1952)

Greenbug infestations in the State of South Dakota are unusual and have generally been broken by the interaction of natural factors such as predators, parasites, and weather. In the 1949 outbreak, the greenbug was seldom if ever the sole cause of damage in infested fields and in most cases spraying would not have been paid for by the remaining crop. The chemicals available for control are exceedingly dangerous to man and livestock, and their use should not be encouraged except where a clear and definite need has been shown to exist.
