Achieving Farm Ownership In South Dakota Through The Farm Ownership Program Of The Farmers Home Administration, Canute M. Johnson

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The desire for secure tenure in ownership of land has given rise to the associated ideal of the family farm. Implementation of this ideal has been one aspect of political and governmental agricultural policy through out our national life. Although federal agricultural policies and legislation have not always been consistently directed' toward this end, Congress has frequently extended federal assistance in one form or another in support of this ideal. Federal assistance for this purpose has most often come during periods of agricultural distress when demands upon Congress for such assistance have been great. Currently, the Farmers Home Administration's Farm …

Gifts, Kay Sharp Nelson

SDSU Extension Circulars

There is no surer way to show / The warmth of feelings that we know, / Than by the gifts our hands create / In hopes our friends appreciate / It's not the cost nor amount of time / Put in the gift to make it fine; / But thought and care—that certain touch / Completes the gift that's liked so much. / If you'd be happy Christmas Day / Then give some happiness away; / For as you give, you're sure to receive / The best in joys of Christmas Eve. - K.S.N.

Farm To Retail Price Spreads, Edward Dailey

SDSU Extension Circulars

The differences between the farm value and the retail cost of farm-food has long been a sore point with both consumers and producers. Whenever food prices rise noticeably consumers are inclined to believe that farmers are receiving the benefit. Farmers look at the prices in the towns and cities and then at the prices they are paid and wonder who gets the difference. Higher consumer incomes and prices paid to let farmers during recent war years have let the controversy die down somewhat, but know that prices are declining old queries are urgently renewed.

Control Household Insects, John A. Lofgren

SDSU Extension Circulars

The development and general acceptance of the new insecticides has greatly helped housewives in their battles with insects found in the home. Yet the use of these chemicals does not rule out the importance of sanitation and good housekeeping in preventing the establishment of these pests. Sanitation is a basic principle of pest control. Insects found in South Dakota homes destroy and contaminate foods and ruin fabrics. Some attack our dwellings and other buildings; others bite or annoy humans, carrying diseases and causing irritation or secondary infections. The presence of other insects merely constitutes a nuisance. Even the most well-kept …

Hay Stack Movers For South Dakota, Ted Welchert

SDSU Extension Circulars

Farmers and ranchers whose average hay production exceeds ,350 tons per year have been faced with a serious labor shortage .and are in need of a means of cutting the cost of production. As a result, a new method commonly called hay sledding has been developed. Hay sledding first began in the sandhills of Nebraska. This method spread to many surrounding areas when the application of power winches made it possible to use three-plow, and in some cases two-plow tractors, for this operation.

Today's Storage, Isabel Mcgibney

SDSU Extension Circulars

Plans for a livable home provide for adequate storage. Plenty of good storage space will save time and energy for the family and will simplify home life. Most houses built fifty or more years ago have very few closets. Many of these houses are still being used and need more storage space. The trend is for more built-ins-many and different kinds of closets, cabinets, chests and storage walls. Some of these storage walls are portable but look built-in. Whether you are building new, remodeling, or trying to make your home more livable, plan for lots of good storage. It may …

Debeaking Poultry To Control Cannibalism And Featherpicking, Boyd Bonzer, Glen Hart

SDSU Extension Circulars

Debeaking is the practice of taking off part of the upper beak of a bird. This removes the part they pinch and tear flesh with, making it extremely difficult for them to be cannibalistic. The process can be accomplished with an electric debeaker, using a hot blade that cauterizes the wound as it cuts, preventing excessive bleeding.

Potatoes, John Noonan

SDSU Extension Circulars

Potatoes, a low cost energy food, were first mentioned in the chronicles of the Spanish conquerors of Peru around the year 1586.

Your Weight, Rena Wills

SDSU Extension Circulars

There is a difference in just being alive and in being alive! Eating the right food will help you to: (1) feel better; (2) be more attractive; (3) live longer; and (4) increase the number of useful years. The food you eat becomes you—your blood, muscles, bones, and teeth; your size, strength, energy, stamina and ability to succeed; your morale, happiness, personality and attitude toward life; it becomes every part of you. And food is becoming to you if your choice is good. It gives you poise, confidence and sparkle. The food you eat is your nutrition.

Shelterbelts For South Dakota, E. K. Ferrell

SDSU Extension Circulars

Tree plantings will make· your farm home and its surroundings a more pleasant and comfortable place to live. Tests have shown that a good shelterbelt can cut your fuel bill 32%.

Your garden and orchard will be much more successful protected from wind. Shelterbelts slow down the speed of the wind for a distance of about 20 times the height of the shelterbelt. In other words, a shelterbelt 30 …

Growth And Respiratory Studies Of Saccaromyces Cerevisiae In The Presence Of Selenium, Robert M. Pengra

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The occurrence of selenium in certain soils of the United States and its detrimental effect upon livestock pastured on or fed forage from these areas has been well established. Selenium poisoning will not be reviewed here as several excellent reviews have been published (1, 2, 3). Studies on the metabolism of selenium by Sac-charomyces cerevisiae have been reported by Potter and Elvehjem (4), Lardy and Moxon (5), and Fels and Cheldelin (6, 7, 8). An attempt has been made in this thesis to repeat and enlarge on some of these studies. While this investigation may contribute information on the selenium …
