Pan Evaporation Measuremnts As A Criterion For Predicting The Irrigation Requirements For Various Crops, Niel A. Dimick Jan 1955

Pan Evaporation Measuremnts As A Criterion For Predicting The Irrigation Requirements For Various Crops, Niel A. Dimick

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Measurement of evaporated water from various devices has assisted in determination of the evaporation losses from large storage reservoirs. Evaporation is a large consumer of open-reservoir stored water which is used for irrigation, municipalities, manufacturing and numerous other purposes. The use of evaporation pans for measuring the quantity of water evaporated produces better results for estimating the resource extent of our stored water. Precautionary steps can then be taken toward the possible occurrence of predicted water shortages. This is essentially the principle involved in determining the consumptive use of moisture by irrigated crops. Consumptive use is commonly referred to as …


Participation In Physical Education Activities By Athletes And Non-Athletes After Their Graduation From College, Harold John Cordts Jan 1955

Participation In Physical Education Activities By Athletes And Non-Athletes After Their Graduation From College, Harold John Cordts

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Educators and physical educators are very much concerned about the degree of carry-over of physical education activities into the leisure experiences of pupils. They also seem to be cognizant of the need for noting the degree of interest and skill developed by pupils in these activities for carry-over to adult life. These points are invariably included in all materials encountered which refer to the objectives of physical education or evaluative criteria which have been established for raising the standards of our present programs. Obviously these groups are immensely concerned with this vital factor of carry-over value of activities for the …

A Study Of School Costs In The Wolsey Independent School District From 1944 To 1954, Mark E. Cogswell

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The desirability of some form of budgetary procedure for public schools has long been recognized. It is wise planning to apportion available funds among the various items necessary for the efficient operation of the school system, and serious effort should be made to restrict expenditures to the various estimated amounts set forth in the adopted budget. In the larger city districts, in most cases, the boards of education are progressive and forward-looking and have developed budgetary procedures to a high degree. In cases where the basic school administrative unit is so small that, often, leadership in education and business management …

Status Of The Curriculum And The Practices And Regulations Affecting It In The Four-Teacher High Schools Of South Dakota, George Webbenhurst

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the United States public education has been generally designated as a local responsibility rather than a state or federal function. The local community is also expected to contribute the greater share of the financial cost of operating the school. The school, being controlled locally, is designed to best meet the demands of the community it serves. This results in a certain amount of variance in the curriculums of the school of this country. A certain amount of similarity in the curriculums is due to the regulations imposed by state regulations and also, in cases of federal financial support, by …

The desire for a universally acceptable and adaptable workbook for use in high school classes in biology has often been expressed by teachers in the field. It must be acknowledged that to be adaptable in all situations the workbook must be designed with many factors in mind. The following questions seem of paramount importance in the design of an applicable workbook. (1) What phases of a biology course require supplementary work by the student in order to insure more fully the comprehension of the material? (2) How can material of little consequence or importance in the total teaching situation be …

Percent Of Blend Of Male Sterile And Male Fertile Corn Seed For Optimum Fertilization In Hybrid Corn At Two Locations In South Dakota, Gerhardt Walter Erion

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Cytoplasmic male sterility has become a factor in corn seed production during the past number of years. The advantage of male sterility is that the producer is saved the expense and trouble of detasseling in the single-cross and double-cross seed fields. It also could be an advantage in certified seed production in that it would eliminate the human error factor in the detasseling process. The disadvantage is that, at present, male sterile and male fertile seed must be mixed or blended to insure a kernel set when grown by the farmer. It is highly desirable that no seed go out …

Factors Pertaining To The Employment Of Married-Women Teachers In Public Schools Of Minnesota, Kenneth W. Sandboe Jan 1955

Factors Pertaining To The Employment Of Married-Women Teachers In Public Schools Of Minnesota, Kenneth W. Sandboe

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Before World War II the economic conditions and the oversupply of teachers tended to build up restrictions against employment of married-women teachers in the public schools. Many school boards went ahead and made board regulations against the hiring of married-women teachers. After the start of the World War II large numbers of the public-school teachers left the teaching profession to enter the services of their country and some to secure more lucrative employment. Also a diminished number of young people undertook teacher-training work in the colleges. As a result of these movements the public schools of our nation were then …

Near the Sioux River in Eastern South Dakota, ample water has been obtained at shallow depths to irrigate average sized fields in certain areas. A sandpoint well system, which consists of four or five sandpoints connected to a centrifugal pumping unit, is being used to remove the water from the ground and force it through a sprinkler …


A Study Of The Relationship Of Antibiotics On Fecal Microflora Of Chicks, Robert C. Halseth Jan 1955

A Study Of The Relationship Of Antibiotics On Fecal Microflora Of Chicks, Robert C. Halseth

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The advent of antibiotics in animal nutrition placed new emphasis on the intestinal microflors. E.L.R.

A Survey Of The Occupational Status Of Post World War Ii Agriculture Education Graduates Of South Dakota State College, Harry Franz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Today facts are demanded by everyone and for every purpose. To some extent, every activity of our life is governed by the results of a study of books and periodicals. This is true of a farmer cultivating his land, feeding his livestock, or purchasing his machinery. It is also true of persons in other vocations; the minister, the banker, the public official, the educator, the business man, and many others. When the vocational agriculture teacher has a problem he consults a “Handbook on Teaching Vocational Agriculture” which is a collection of organized facts based on experience. The efficiency in teaching …

The Financial Procedures Utilized In The Administration Of Athletic Programs In The Eight Eastern South Dakota Conference High Schools, Wallace Maurice Diehl

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Since the late 1800’s when athletics were forced into the secondary school curriculum by popular demand, methods haven been sought by which they could be financed. Gate receipts have and still do provide the bulk of the funds to finance the athletic programs in these schools. Athletics originated as an extra-curricular activity and in many schools are still so regarded. Consequently, school boards generally have not accepted the fact that athletics should be financed from tax funds in the same manner as the academic portion of the secondary school curriculum. The school administrator then, is faced with the problem of …
