Why South Dakota And Minnesota Vocational Agriculture Instructors Have Remained In The Profession, Roger A. Heller

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It is quite obvious that any person who remains in a certain occupation or profession for some length of time does so for one or more specific reasons. Teachers seemingly then, must have some reason for their tenure in their profession. There have been many studies in the past few years, giving reasons why teachers leave the field. The Research Bulletin for Education in South Dakota indicates that of the 7345 teachers in our public and parochial schools in 1952-53, a total of 1912 did not return to South Dakota classrooms for the 1953-54 school year. This is a matter …

Etiology And Control Of A Seedling Blight Of Flax Caused By Rhizoctonia Solani Kühn, Vernyl D. Pederson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A seedling disease has been observed throughout the flax-growing areas of South Dakota for a number of years. The importance of this disease has probably been overlooked, however, because of the sporadic and unpredictable serious outbreaks; but in recent years the disease has reached epiphytotic proportions and hundreds if acres have been destroyed and plowed under. In some fields, stands have been so severely thinned that weeds have become a serious problem and yields of flax have been markedly reduced. The specific cause if these serious outbreaks of seedling blight in South Dakota was not known. Preliminary observations, however, suggested …

An Investigation As To The Comparative Cost Of Fuels For Heating Homes In The City Of Brookings, South Dakota, Robert P. Puncochar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The object or intent of this investigation was to make a study of comparative costs of heating homes in the city of Brookings. Six different fuels or methods of firing of these fuels were compared in the two main categories of home heating; hot water radiators and warm air furnaces. The investigation was not intended to increase the efficiency of any specific installation. However, the efficiencies of several of the atomizing oil burners wore increased considerably by changes in the air settings which should have been made by the installer when the furnace was originally installed.

A Local Cost-Sharing Plan For Watersheds Under The Watershed Protection And Flood Prevention Act, Henry N. Ziegler

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Henry N.

The “Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act” as amended was passed for the purpose of initiating a program to eliminate or reduce flood damages as well as to promote better use of land through better control of water. The multi-responsibility feature of Public Law 566 and the amended portion, Public Law 1018, attempts to coordinate the talents of the Federal and State agencies with that of the local sponsoring group. The latter has a large share of the responsibility of carrying out the successful operation of the project. One of the important features of the law is the …

A Study Of Streptobacillus Moniliformis Causative Agent Of Rat Bite Fever, Harry J. Bowers

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A bizarre organism was isolated in 1953 in a Castaneda blood culture flask in an attempt to determine the cause of septicemia in a child. It was discovered that the organism causing this septicemia was morphologically and physiologically similar to one of the organisms causing rat bite fever, which to this time had never been isolated in South Dakota. It was impossible under the circumstances to make any positive identification of the organism. Microscopic slides were saved with the expectation that circumstances would become favorable for research with the suspected organism, Streptocaillus monilformis. It was decided that a study centered …

Comparative Effects Of Two Different Physical Education Programs Upon The Physical Fitness And Motor Educability Of Ninth And Tenth Grade Boys, Charles Russell Reynolds

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The matter of being physically fit is not just that of building muscles. Although strengthening exercises are a very important part of a developmental program, the results attained for the individual go beyond this more apparent phase of the process. Along with increasing strength, other such benefits include increased organic vigor, stamina, poise, and an improved mental outlook. Many investigations during the past twenty-five years have substantiated these assumptions. Thus, one of the physical educator’s prime duties is to increase his pupils’ muscular strength, which is basic to all other growth and development. The importance of physical fitness was brought …

Culture And Conflict In Israel., Hannah Scoggin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Times Square went mad with noise and excitement, and a small freighter slipped from its Brooklyn berth into the drama of the night. It was December 31, 1949--midnight-January 1, 1950; and I was on my way to the world in general and Israel and the Near East in particular. To say the words Near East, to hear them spoken, to read the combination of Latin letters, even to think them fleetingly can conjure up for me a haze of incense-tinged dreams in which I see exotic sights, breathe pungent odours, and hear mysterious sounds. The Near East is all this …

The Effect Of Prescibed Weight Training On A Selected Group Of Varsity Basketball Players, Bernard Eugene Duffy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

n the field of physical education weight lifting has been regarded by many as not having a place in the program because of its hindrance to speed, reaction time, and flexibility in those training for athletics. In recent years it has been receiving more and more attention and experimentation as a supplement to the regular training program of those preparing for physical activities. In this study an effort has been made to observe any influence a program of weight lifting might have upon basketball players in training for the ensuing season. This effect was measured through the use of the …

Genetic Analysis Of F2 Populations From Crosses Involving Colchicine-Induced Mutants In Sorghum, A. Earl Foster

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Colchicine-treated seedlings of a true-breeding variety of Sorghum vulgare Pers. were found to differ in appearance from the untreated checks while retaining the original chromosome number (1,8). Some of the mutant plants bred true for the changed characters in succeeding generations. Cytological examination by Harpstead et al (2) showed no abnormal pairing relationships or detectable chromosomal abnormality in the meiotic stages of the treated material, the untreated material, or their F1 crosses. From these findings it was postulated that colchicine caused a somatic reduction of the chromosomes together with concurrent mutagenic effects and subsequent restoration to the diploid number. A …

Time And Tide : A Study Of The Conflicting Concepts Of Time Of The Dakota Indian And Western Civilization, R. Clyde Mccone

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The Indian peoples of the Americas, as well as non-literate peoples around the world, have been swept or are being swept from their cultural moorings by their contacts with ‘white’ civilization. These cultures, whose values center around permanence and patience, have been engulfed in an expanding social order which exalts change. Impelled by its time oriented concepts of progress, opportunity, profit, speed, and efficiency, civilization’s contacts with familizational cultures have been uprooting, breaking, and crushing. The problem of this study shall be to define the Dakota concept of time, to distinguish it from that of Western civilization, and to discover …

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 …

The problem considered in this research relates to …

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 …

Marketing Cream In Plastic Bags, James L. Olson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Because quality directly affects both price and consumption, one of the basic problems facing the butter industry in South Dakota is quality improvement. Under the price support program, certain minimum quality standards have to be complied with before surplus butter can be sold to the government. One-fourth of the butter produced in South Dakota does not meet this minimum quality requirement, assuming that conditions have not changed since 1951-52. Marketing and processing cream plays an important part in quality. The small producer is at a disadvantage in that he usually does not have the facilities to handle his cream properly. …
