Modern Poultry Housing, Boyd Bonzer, Glenn Hart, Louis Lubinus

SDSU Extension Circulars

A MODERN POULTRY HOUSE is an asset to a farm. It need not be expensive to give good results. Often some building already on the farm can be remodeled inexpensively to serve the needs of hens. Where old buildings are not available, new housing should be considered. Remodeling or building new poultry housing is a very important job. In order to invest money wisely, careful attention should be given to planning, choice of materials, arrangement of floor plan and use of labor saving devices. A modern, well organized house can do a lot of the chores for the poultry operator. …

These data were prepared to furnish detailed historical information on weather conditions for the State of South Dakota for the past 50 or more years. Within the Great Plains weather is a significant factor limiting crop production and all farming operations, to be successful^ must take weather into consideration. The fact that South Dakota lies within the area of the Great Plains where the amount of precipitation received is at the margin of enough to support vegetation makes weather information especially important for this area. Amount of precipitation received varies from about 24 inches in the southeastern corner of the …

State Hospitals And Schools For The Handicapped, Don Clayton

SDSU Extension Circulars

All of us have a handicap of one kind or another. We may not be crippled in limb or mentally broken, but most of us do have handicaps that reveal themselves every once in a while. Sometimes we harbor prejudices that cause us to suffer extremely "low vision"; some people are subject to spells of "blind rage" while other "limp" socially on a withered sense of inferiority. All of us have areas and moods which find us "stumbling" in a kind of half-world between the real and the unreal.

Fifty Years Of South Dakota Agriculture, Ray F. Pengra, Gabriel Lundy

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Eastern and southeastern areas of South Dakota were settled and farming well established (at the start of this report) in 1900. Western South Dakota was in the development or transition stage from wide open range in the west river district to partly settled in the central portions of the state. Black Hills communities were settled due to mining and lumbering activities within that portion of the west river area. The west river district consisting of nearly 25 million acres in total area had only 4800 farms or ranches in 1900. Ranch headquarters were usually located at sources of water either …

The purpose of this publication is to present the trend of prices over time for the principal farm products in South Dakota. Every individual engaged in the business of farming is interested directly in the trend of prices for the products which he produces. He may wish to base his next years production on his estimate of what the prices will be after he has harvested his crop or fattened his livestock. He faces the question whether he would gain by feeding the grain to livestock or by selling it as cash grain. The only basis on which he can …

Entertaining Informally In Your Home, Don Clayton

SDSU Extension Circulars

Today fussy, proper parties are definitely out of style. Truly "smart" people just won't take the time to spend their precious leisure moments "putting on the dog". When one studies the kind of home architecture and appliances, and the casual clothing that "sell" and the types of recreation that are popular he soon realizes that simplicity and naturalness are the modern keynote for leisure time living. It suggests a search for an antidote to the strain and tension that involves most of us-in this business of "making a living". The front doors on most of our homes swing inward. This …

Farmer's 1954 Income Tax, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

Every person whose gross income during the year is $600 or more MUST file a return even though no tax is due (except that any individual who has attained the age of 65 before the close of his taxable year is required to make a return only if he has for the taxable year a gross income of $1,200 or more). Gross income is total income (subject to tax) before any expenses are deducted. If at least two-thirds of your gross income is from farming and your business year starts January 1, you have two choices. Either, (a) File your …

A Market News Service For Livestock Auctions In South Dakota, Gerald E. Marousek

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Auction sales are an important marketing medium for livestock in this country today. This method of selling is not a new or a novel one. The selling of livestock through auctions was probably adapted from Great Britain, and first used in this country in the early nineteenth century. These sales were most often held to dispose of imported and domestic breeding stock. The first regularly scheduled auction sale with publicly consigned merchandise was established at Union, Iowa, in 1904. From this beginning the number of livestock auctions increased, especially after 1930, This increase was particularly rapid in the twelve Western …

Music And You, Adele Clark Sudlow

SDSU Extension Circulars

After you have selected the best phonograph that you can afford, preferably one with three speeds (78 rpm, 45 rpm, and 33½ rpm), you are ready to begin your home record library. Long-playing records withstand rougher treatment than do the 78's, are easier to store, and will play up to thirty-two minutes per side without interruptions. They're not literally "unbreakable," but they are tough.

Modern Home Sewing, Anna D. Walker

SDSU Extension Circulars

Never before in the history of fabrics has there been such an array of exciting materials to tempt the home sewer to try her skill in clothing construction. Old friends in the textile field are taking on new .finishes and new fibers have ·entered into the fabric picture-all calling for new knowledge in their handling during construction. In addition to this abundance of textile material from which to choose, there is the splendid selection of good patterns, notions, and sewing equipment which is available today. A new style consciousness has swept the country and the modern home sewer is no …

South Dakota's Farm Accident Toll, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

Facts regarding farm accidents are scarce. A suggestion was made by the state safety director, Carroll Stinson, to the agricultural engineering department that a newspaper clipping survey be made to determine in what areas an educational program might best be developed to cut down on the occupational hazards of modern agriculture. One hundred fourteen of the 185 weekly and eight of the 12 daily papers cooperated in making this survey. Agricultural engineering students clipped out accident reports each week from these papers from November 1, 1952 through October 31, 1953. This survey was restricted to on-the-farm accidents except those accidents …

Feeding Poultry For Profit, Glen Hart, C. W. Carlson

SDSU Extension Circulars

Feeding poultry for profit involves essentially the use of top quality stock, proper management and care, proper facilities, and last, but certainly not least important, a good feed. The feed accounts for well over 50 per cent of the cost of poultry, meat and egg production, hence its importance cannot be considered lightly. A good feed supplies all of the essential nutrients in the required amounts for each type of production.

Agricultural Education Through News, Burton Seeker

If a visitor came into your office and offered to influence a thousand people in your behalf, with no cost or obligation to you, would you take him up on it? Your job is education. Your problem is reaching the great number of people in your county with the wealth of information you have at hand. Of course you would jump at the chance. That man is your local newspaperman. Extension education is primarily a proposition of personal contacts through schools, meetings, field tours and farm visits. Yet not everyone is enrolled in your crop improvement association or home demonstration …
