"Does it pay to sew at home?" This often-asked question is one every homemaker must answer for herself. Although many modern-day families buy the major part of their clothing, many homemakers still find that sewing pays dividends. Time and energy, both nervous and physical, are factors to consider along with the cost of the fabric. The rule of three is a good guide to use when estimating the value of a new garment made at home. "One-third of a garment's value is the cost of fabric, one third is the fashion rightness of the style and its becomingness to the …

Fun Along The Road To Recovery, Donald W. Clayton

SDSU Extension Circulars

Lengthy sick bed confinements can mean hours of boredom. When the hours drag on tediously, the mind and emotions do things which doctors agree may hinder convalescence. Anyone caring for the sick knows that enforced idleness can make the patient restless, irritable, and unreasonable. And sometimes; even after the patient recovers, this attitude continues with lasting effect.

Management Practices And Crop Yields On The Lower Yellowstone Project--1949, Rex D. Helfinstine

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Irrigation has been proposed for more than a million acres of land in North Dakota and South Dakota under the Pick-Sloan plan. What results have been obtained from irrigation of comparable areas? What were the experiences of farmers in these areas? The Lower Yellowstone Irrigation Project in western North Dakota and eastern Montana, which has been under irrigation since 1909, is comparable in many respects to the areas proposed for new irrigation. Knowledge of the results of irrigation on the Lower Yellowstone will be helpful in determining the economic justification for irrigating other areas in the Dakotas. The purpose of …

Experience With Federal Land Purchases As A Means Of Land Use Adjustment, Loyd Glover

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Drouth and depression during the 1930’s brought to the surface many economic problems, and among them many serious problems of agricultural land use. Unfavorable price relationships and unfavorable weather conditions both contributed to the creation of large areas of rural poverty and discontent. Some of these areas, so called "submarginal" areas for cultivation, became the object of a federal program of land acquisition and land use adjustment beginning in 1933. In many of these areas the situation called for immediate and drastic action. Poverty, soil erosion, abandoned land, and wholesale tax foreclosures prompted the federal government to undertake purchase of …

Lending Operations Of The Farm Ownership Loan Program In South Dakota, Canute M. Johnson

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The focus of attention in this analysis of the FHA is upon the Farm Ownership Loan Program, In South Dakota, 728 Farm Ownership Loans were made in 55 of 69 counties during the 14 year period, 1938 through 1951, These loans averaged $8,620 and ranged in size from $2,000 to $16,000, There was a definite trend for the average size of loans to increase while the average size of farm ownership farms tended to decrease during the 1938-51 period. Since 1951, the average size of farms purchased under the program has increased because lean limits were increased to permit the …

South Dakota's Farm And Home Development Program, Lyle Bender, Arthur W. Anderson

SDSU Extension Circulars

The South Dakota Farm and Home Development Program is a family approach to farm planning with better family living as the end objective. Farm and home development differs from other methods of planning in that the farm family considers its problems as a whole, rather than on a piecemeal basis. This is achieved through careful study and selection of alternate choices in searching for solutions to problems. Decisions are based on needs and desires, farm and family resources, economic trends, available markets and credit, and the supply of capital and labor. Farm and home development is not a custom built …

Irrigating Vegetables And Small Fruits, Martin Fogel, Lloyd Ayres

SDSU Extension Circulars

Vegetables and small fruits are grown more extensively in South Dakota than most people realize. Almost every farm has a garden where vegetables and small fruits are grown for immediate use. In every town and city, gardens of varying sizes are found. These home gardens produce a large amount of wholesome, high nutritional food. Market gardening is an important enterprise near the larger towns in South Dakota. It is a highly specialized business, though oftentime it is done on a very limited acreage. The detrimental effects of prolonged dry periods, which have caused complete failure of vegetable and small fruit …

Problems In Marketing South Dakota Grain, Ruth D. Tompkins, Richard R. Newberg

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

South Dakota is the transition state of the Nation's grain producing area. Parts of the state lie in each of the three major grain producing belts. The southeastern one-fifth of South Dakota is in the corn belt. The northern one-half of the state lies within the hard spring wheat area; while roughly the southern one-half falls within the winter wheat belt. In addition, the state produces substantial amounts of durum wheat, barley, oats, flaxseed and rye. This study is primarily an introductory and exploratory analysis of the grain production and marketing structure in South Dakota, There are three major objectives: …

Meet Music, Marvel Labrie

SDSU Extension Circulars

"Confidentially, this long-haired stuff is not for me. I don't really know a thing about music, and I can't carry a tune in a bushel basket." With this pessimistic statement, many of us close the door to a whole new world of enjoyment. It does seem confusing when we hear people conversing in longhandled terms about symphonies, sonatas, oratorios, writing styles, and the like. Immediately, we become frightened by their apparent knowledge of music. Don't be misled by that big talk, which may even be done just to impress you. Knowledge of those terms doesn't mean that they enjoy music …

Health Resources In South Dakota, George I. Gilbertson, Rena Wills, E. J. Niederfrank, G. J. Van Heuvelen

Improving rural health is a teamwork job--one that deserves all the cooperation that state health and education services, communities, organizations, and individuals can give. From the farm family's standpoint, good health is essential to farming success as well as to happy living.

Shelterbelt Care, E. K. Ferrell

SDSU Extension Circulars

Weeds affect young trees in the same way they affect other crops. Weeds rob trees of moisture, plant food and light. This often results in the death of most of the trees. Those that do manage to live are stunted. Planting a shelterbelt is a waste of time, money and land unless the planting is cultivated throughout its early life. Your young shelterbelt trees need the same care as any other row crop until they are big enough to shade out the weeds and grass. Results of an experiment carried out at South Dakota State College show how important clean …

A Preliminary Study Of Farmer Bankruptcy Experiences In The Dakotas, 1928-1952, James Munger

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The objectives of this study were (l) to analyze the operation of general bankruptcy procedure as used by farmers (2) to appraise the effectiveness of section 75 of the United States Bankruptcy Act as a relief measure and of the Frazier-Lemke Act in particular; and (3) to evaluate the bankruptcy experience of farmers in North and South Dakota from 1928-1953, in regard to the development of effective farmer-debtor relief legislation. It is generally agreed that farmers are very vulnerable to price, income, and weather fluctuations. Therefore, it has been contended that, in the national interest, farmers need and deserve legislative …
