Description Of The Corn Plant, Ralph E. Johnston, George H. Valentine Jan 1923

Description Of The Corn Plant, Ralph E. Johnston, George H. Valentine

SDSU Extension Circulars

Before discussing the methods of the culture of corn we must know something of the plant itself. We must, in fact, be intimately acquainted with the plant and all its parts, their structure and something of the functions they perform. The method of growth must also be known in order to develop the desirable characters and to gradually eliminate the more undesirable characters. This circular is divided into dive divisions. Each division takes up a part of the corn plant and describes it in detail.

School Lunch Sandwiches, Extension Service, South Dakota State College Dec 1922

School Lunch Sandwiches, Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

The cold lunch at its beset is not the most desirable food for taking of the food requirements of the child, and when it is to be repeated every day of the school year is very apt to become tiresome and monotonous. The feeling that anything will do for the lunch box is altogether too prevalent. The lack of time is the most common excuse for the poorly prepared lunch box. It does not take any more time to put up wholesome lunches in an attractive way, but it does take thought and an appreciation of what the boy or …

Cooperative Marketing, H. D. Mccullough

SDSU Extension Circulars

High Crop Yields And Profits From Farming, H. D. Mccullough Nov 1922

High Crop Yields And Profits From Farming, H. D. Mccullough

SDSU Extension Circulars

Crop yields have a direct bearing upon farm profits. Granting that there are many factors affecting crop yields and crop prices that are beyond the control of the individual farmer, it is still true that those men whose crop yields are somewhat above the average for their localities make the largest profits. This is true in all parts of the country and for all crops as is shown by the following table covering 3130 farms in 12 states. This table shows the average labor income on farms having poor crop yields, medium or average yields and good crop yields. In …

Cropping Systems, H. D. Mccullough Nov 1922

Cropping Systems, H. D. Mccullough

SDSU Extension Circulars

Many different cropping systems are used in South Dakota. In part of the “West-River” country it is customary to raise equal acreages of corn and small grain diced in on the corn stubble the next year. Very little plowing is done. In Spink County, typical of the north-western part of the State, there are three acres of small grain for each acre in corn. Surveys in Brown County and Jones County in 1921 show very different cropping systems prevailing in those counties.

Renovation And Remodeling, Azalea Linfield Nov 1922

Renovation And Remodeling, Azalea Linfield

SDSU Extension Circulars

Next to food economy, the housewife will find her largest savings in the family clothing. The price of clothing steadily advanced throughout the war period and even now after three years the prices are still beyond the means of a great many of us. The normal conditions of the textile supply cannot be restored for years. In order to save textiles and correct all habits of wastefulness, study the possibilities of partly worn garments and do not discard them. Frequently touches of embroidery, braid, rows of buttons or other means of simply trimming can be used to cover up defect …

Home Supplies Furnished By The Farm, H. D. Mccullough Oct 1922

Home Supplies Furnished By The Farm, H. D. Mccullough

SDSU Extension Circulars

One hundred fifty years ago a farm family raised practically all of its food and made most of its clothing as well as the simple tools that were used in farm work. Then came the opening up of the West, the building of railroads and the invention and general use of modern farm machinery. Crain, livestock and livestock products were raised in large quantities and sold. Part of the money from these sales was used to buy the clothing, household equipment and food which had previously been made or raised on the farm. No one today would care to go …

Inventories And Depreciation Accounts, H. D. Mccullough Oct 1922

Inventories And Depreciation Accounts, H. D. Mccullough

SDSU Extension Circulars

Inventories are an essential part of a farm record. Taken at the beginning and end of the year, they show whether one has been increasing or decreasing the among of livestock, grain, feed, and supplies on hand. An increase in inventory represents income, even though it is not in the form of dollars and cents. A decrease in inventory means that some of the livestock, grain, etc., produced in previous years has been sold or used. Since this was not produced during the current year, it should be considered an expense and deducted from the gross income as such.

Eggs, Mary A. Dolve Oct 1922

Eggs, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

When we remember that an egg is store-up food material to be used for developing the young chick, we can naturally expect it to be a good food containing the various nutrients. Eggs are more nearly interchangeable with milk than any other food. Eggs are tissue building foods, being rich in protein and mineral matter. (Phosphorus, calcium, and iron.) On account of their richness in iron, they are one of the first foods added to the growing child’s diet.

Efficient Livestock And Profits From Farming With Special Reference To Economical Pork Production, H. D. Mccullough Oct 1922

Efficient Livestock And Profits From Farming With Special Reference To Economical Pork Production, H. D. Mccullough

SDSU Extension Circulars

Sales of livestock and of livestock products constitute an important part of the receipts on most South Dakota farms. Records on 126 farms in Brown and Jones Counties in 1921 show that in brown County 37 percent and in Jones County 80 percent of the cash receipts were from these sources. South Dakota is so far from the terminal markets that nearly all of the roughage and a large part of the coarse grain produced in the State is fed to livestock and marketed in the form of beef, pork, butterfat and eggs. It follows that, on any particular farm, …

Fruits And Vegetables : Budget, Salad And Greens, Mary A. Dolve Sep 1922

Fruits And Vegetables : Budget, Salad And Greens, Mary A. Dolve

SDSU Extension Circulars

Fruits and vegetables have been wrongly considered by some as luxuries and relishes valuable principally for the pleasant variety they give to the diet. This conception may be largely due to the fact that they contain a large amount of water and a comparatively small amount of the so called nutrients. The fact that milk is the most perfect food, though it contains 87% water goes to show that the nature of the solids in any food rather than the quantity determines its actual food value. As a whole fruits and vegetables are more economical sources of protein and energy …
