4-H Club : Home Life Project "B" Plan, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

Home Life Project “B” Plan: Bedroom or Child’s Room. Would you like to fix over your room, actually doing some of those things that you've always dreamed? Fixing over your room can be fun and will give you the opportunity to use your imagination and express your own ideas. Your bedroom used for sleeping and dressing, study or reading should be arranged for ease and comfort. A room simply furnished may be made much more attractive than one cluttered up with unnecessary pieces of furniture that have neither use nor beauty.

The Yielding Ability Of Bulked F2 Barley Crosses And Parents In Comparative Yield Trials, Walter Lowell Nelson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Present methods of breeding new barley varieties are costly, laborious and lengthy. Populations from a cross are grown until they become homozygous before much selection by comparative yield trails can be made. The pedigree method limits the number of crosses that can be studied because of the large segregating populations necessary for the expression of desired gene combinations. Because of the enormous amount of work involved, it would be highly desirable for a plant breeder to work only with superior parental material. The capabilities of a plant breeder would be greatly increased by an method which would allow him to …

The Apparent Digestibility Of Prairie Hay Harvested At Three Stages Of Maturity, Arnold Bernard Nelson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

More land in the United States is used for grazing and hay production than for all other farm crops grown. Well-managed pastures and rangeland have always been recognized as an economical source of feed and recently have commanded much attention as an effective means of conserving soil resources and preventing erosion. In the states if North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, about 67 per cent of the total land in farms and ranches is in pasture and hay. Over 60 per cent of the entire area of South Dakota and about 83 per cent of the area …

Carcass Differences In Inbred Lines And Linecrosses Of Swine, Ellis Andine Pierce

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A great amount of variation in the carcasses from butcher hogs proximal to two hundred and twenty pounds from different lines and breeds has become apparent in recent years. The average hog producer prefers the type of hog that gains quickly and economically and will net the most profit. The average consumer, however, prefers the type of carcass that has a high percentage of lean to fat. Today the dollar value of market hogs is determined more by the amount of finish they are carrying than by the quality of carcass. Since variations do exist in the carcasses from different …

Thinking Of Others At Christmas, Anna M. Wilson

SDSU Extension Circulars

A true gift is a joy to give and a pleasure to receive. Such a gift doesn't just happen, it grows. It takes thought and planning. Then it takes some doing. Gifts made at home will not stretch the purse strings too far, and they can be hand-tailored to the friend. The best gift may not be wrapped in tissue and ribbon-it might be an invitation to a Christmas tea party. Thinking of others will make Christmas the most joyous season of the year-as it should be.

SDSU Extension Circulars

Folks who have used the pit type roost cite the following advantages: Labor saving, aids sanitation, keeps the eggs cleaner, helps to keep the litter dry, provides a good place for hens to rest, and may save some eggs.

Window Fashions, Mabel E. Bryan

SDSU Extension Circulars

Windows let sunshine and beauty into rooms, just as the eyes let light and joy into the soul. Windows should be allowed to serve their purpose and not be overloaded with curtains and draperies. They should be decorated to create a restful and cheerful atmosphere within the room. The best treatment depends on the size, shape, and arrangement of the windows, as well as the general characteristic of the room and its surroundings.

Bake Bread Successfully, Anna M. Wilson

SDSU Extension Circulars

During the latter spring and summer months of 1946 the United States was able to send more wheat abroad to starving people because we use 80 percent extraction flour instead of the customary 72 percent. Using 80 percent extraction flour taught us that degree of refinement does make a difference in the way flour must be handled in making yeast bread. In this circular we shall learn why wheat means so much to a world harassed with famine and how we can make better use of wheat by understanding the principals involved in breadmaking.
