A Comparison Of Alfalfa, Sweet Clover, And Sudan Grass As Pasture Crops For Dairy Cows, T.M. Olson, B.L. Robinson

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

Dairying is recognized as one of the major farm enterprises in the Northwest. Over much of this area conditions for producing winter feeds are very favorable but moisture conditions are such that it is difficult to maintain satisfactory pastures for dairy cows during the summer months. Native pastures, where available, will carry the herd in a satisfactory manner for a short time in the spring but these pastures soon dry up and are unsatisfactory during a large part of the pasture season. These conditions make it necessary for dairymen in this region to rely on cultivated crops for summer pasture. …

Emmer (Speltz) For Dairy Cows, T.M. Olson

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

The term speltz is commonly used for both emmer and spelt by farmers and seedsmen in this country. However, according to the Agronomy Department of State College the crop grown in South Dakota and commonly called speltz is in reality emmer. Emmer was probably introduced into this country fourty or fifty years ago by German immigrants from southern Russia who settled in the Dakotas. It is still grown largely in the Northwest. Farmers with whom the author has talked have been enthusiastic in their praises of emmer as a feed for all classes of livestock. It yields about the same …

Rural Health Situation In South Dakota, W.F. Kumlien

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

In consequence, the general plan of the bulletin in describing the conditions and findings of the study, has been to organize it around three related phases. Part I is more or less introductory, showing the relationship of the new health movement as applied specifically to rural South Dakota conditions. Part II deals with the location, number, and distribution of health agencies in the state. Part III attempts to describe more intensively the more important health conditions in Brookings county as being typical of the eastern South Dakota situation, together with suggestions for correcting certain rural health inequalities.

Value Of Grinding Grains And Roughages For Livestock, J.W. Wilson, R.L. Patty, T. Wright, T.M. Olson

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

This experiment was conducted in cooperation with the departments of Agricultural Engineering, Animal Husbandry and Dairy Husbandry of South Dakota State College. The department of Agricultural Engineering ground the grains and roughages with a burr grinder. For power a tractor was used, such as is found on any farm where grinding is practiced. The departments of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Husbandry fed these ground grains and roughages to livestock of the different kinds. There has been for some time, and there is today a demand for information along these lines because some farmers who have purchased tractors to assist with …

Time Savers In Feeding The Family, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

Feeding the family, including the preparation of food, cleaning away and washing of dishes, consumes about 47 percent of the time spent on homemaking activities by the average South Dakota homemaker. This is nearly as much time as is spent on all other tasks and does not in7 elude time spent in planning, purchasing, butchering or other work which has been included under miscellaneous. The average working day is nine hours and twenty-seven minutes. Seven hours and twenty-five minutes are spent on homemaking activities, and one hour and forty-two minutes on outside work. The time spent on homemaking activities is …

Tooth Building Foods, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

What the family members are eating is largely a matter of habit formation and training. This fact was clearly brought out at 24 county food program determination meetings and the summary of the state homemakers survey. The homemakers survey included 1617 returned health questionnaires from 37 counties and 1242 returned food questionaires' from 24 counties.

Adequate And Economical Meals, Susan Z. Wilder

SDSU Extension Circulars

At the county project determination meetings which were held during the early fall months in twenty-eight counties in the state the women discussed the summary of 1200 food questionnaires as well as the survey summary secured through the cooperation of doctors, dentists and grocery men. The survey showed that 15 percent of the children in the families reporting were fussy about their food, 16 percent of the mothers had difficulty in getting the children to drink milk, 15 percent of the children did not eat raw tomatoes and 20 percent did not eat cooked tomatoes. Twenty three percent did not …

Good Food Habits For The Family, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

How to get every member of the family to eat what is placed on the table," is the major food problem faced by the South Dakota Homemaker's according to the recent homemakers survey and the discussions at the county program determination meetings. The survey and discussions indicate that the Home Extension club members, having studied food and nutrition, know fairly well what foods constitute a balanced dietary. In spite of this knowledge however, a large percent are not eating an adequate diet.

The School Lunch, Susan Z. Wilder

SDSU Extension Circulars

At the time of the presentation of the survey facts at the county project meetings, the mothers said that they wanted to know how to plan the school lunch so that it would meet the daily dietary needs of the growing child and how to get the child to eat the lunch. It is to meet these requests that this circular is written. The training in right food habits is presented in a separate circular. It may be of interest in this connection to examine some of the survey findings.

Self Feeders In Dairy Calf Feeding, T.M. Olson

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

Self-feeders have been used with good results in feeding swine, cattle and poultry. The self-feeder has been particularly popular with feeders during the fattening period, since it usually results in the consumption of more feed and thus more rapid and economical gains than jn the case of hand-fed animals. The saving of labor is also an item, under some conditions, which justifies the use of self-feeders.

Milk, The Growth Food For Health, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

Milk is the only product provided by nature to serve solely as food. It adequately serves as a foundation for an efficient diet, when used regularly and liberally, both for children and adults. In Extension Circular 275, "Food Needs for Health," it was brought out that an adequate diet supplied the materials required to take care of the three food needs by providing materials for growth and repair (proteins, calcium, phosphorous, iron, other minerals, water and vitamins), materials for heat and energy (fat, starches, sugar), and materials for regulating body processes (vitamins, alkaline salts, laxative materials including roughage, and water). …

Refreshing Beverages And Nourishing Drinks, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

For optimum health, six or more glasses of water must be supplied the human body every day. Two-thirds of the adult body is water. All homemakers have observed the large amount of water present in a potato. In proportion to their weight, muscular tissues contain as much water as the potato. Even one-third of the bone by weight is water.

Our Changing Agriculture : A Report On Extension Work In South Dakota, A. E. Anderson

SDSU Extension Circulars

This circular gives a brief record of important extension service activities as they are related to outstanding changes that have taken and are taking place in South Dakota's agriculture. Many of the results of past extension work are just beginning to be felt and many other developments are only starting. Therefore, this circular has to do with present activities of the extension service and with present conditions, as well as with changes. The last ten years have seen remarkable progress but the next ten should bring even greater results in efficient production, profitable marketing, and better living.

Food Needs For Health, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

Observe the individuals about you. You will notice that physically the best differs from the ordinary and that they vary in degree of fitness from the physically perfect individual (in minority) to the person decidedly handicapped by physical defects. Parents should know the main characteristics of a well-developed child and the factors influencing good development. A physically efficient adult is the product of a well-developed child and youth. Similar facts having a bearing on agricultural problems have been recognized. There was little progress in the improvement of the quality in livestock and corn until those interested had in mind an …

The Health Value Of Whole Grains (Quick Breads And Cookies), Susan Z. Wilder

SDSU Extension Circulars

The grains are more widely distributed than any other one food. Thirty-five to forty-five per cent of the diet of Americans and Europeans is made of grain products. In this country grains vie with potatoes for a place on the menu. About 35 per cent of the diet of the Chinese and Japanese is rice. The southern negro's main food is cornmeal. The grains are truly the "staff of life." The importance of the grains as a food staple was emphasized at the time of the World War. The supply of grains, especially wheat, was carefully guarded. Its control and …

Regulating And Coordinating Health Factors (Salads), Susan Z. Wilder

SDSU Extension Circulars

Until recent years fruits and vegetables were looked upon as expensive foods that did not contribute very much to the welfare of the human race. Even the early research workers considered them of poor dietary value. Meat, potatoes, bread, fat and sugar were the main standbys. But the diets prepared for and tested on experimental animals did not bring the results in health, length of life and reproduction of the species that they were expected to. It was then that research workers began looking elsewhere for the reason and found that substances contained in fruits and vegetables were invaluable from, …
