Agricultural Productive Capacity 1955 South Dakota, South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Our agricultural resources have a strategic role to play in the present mobilization effort. Even a partial military mobilization calls for a large increase in food. Our population has increased by 20 million people since 1940. Our civilian per capita food consumption is up 13 percent, our agricultural exports are up 50 percent above the 1935-39 average and food surpluses have largely disappeared. Estimates of our agricultural productive capacity are needed to determine whether such capacity is great enough to meet future needs and to help the nation make wise decisions concerning such vital questions as these: 1. How much …

Use Your Time Efficiently, Isabel Mcgibney

SDSU Extension Circulars

There are only 24 hours a day. No matter how hard we try we cannot make more. Time cannot be found, spent or saved it can only be used. Time may be used wisely to gain many desired satisfactions, or it may be used unwisely with few pleasant results. If we want to use time wisely and save effort, we must be willing to admit there is room for improvement. We must also be willing to change from the old "in the rut" way to a new way of doing our job. Each of us sets our own pattern of …

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 …

Father-Son Farm Partnerships, Russell L. Berry

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Can parents help their sons and daughters get started farming? The answer is yes. Parents can and do help their children get started farming by making gifts and loans of livestock and machinery and money. Fathers often help their children borrow money and rent land. In South Dakota 19 percent of the land lords reported that they rented some lend to a son or son-in-law. This is just slightly less than the coverage for aJ.1 the states in the Midwest. Inheritance and gifts of land are not uncommon. No less than 24. percent of Midwestern men who are farm owners …

Gardening, Leonard Yager

SDSU Extension Circulars

There is no better way of cutting food costs than to raise food in your own garden. It can't be denied that vegetables are fresh when they are picked right from the garden. Quality and food value of purchased vegetables are lost by delay in getting them to the consumer. Gardening is fun. It provides a useful form of recreation for the entire family.

SDSU Extension Circulars

Weeds. are a problem in the city, small town and around the farm home, just as they are a problem in pastures, hay lands and tilled fields. Wherever weeds grow, they are an unsightly and expensive nuisance. In the vacant or untended lots m town, weeds become the source of seed that will spread to surrounding gardens, lawns and farm fields. Hampered vision at intersections, caused by rank-growing weeds, has contributed to many traffic accidents. In addition, they sap the soil's fertility, which probably is sent up in smoke when the weeds are burned in the fall. In gardens, they …
