Agricultural Production Trends In South Dakota, Robert J. Antonides

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Many South Dakotans who are concerned with agriculture in the State have been interested in obtaining some means of comparing agricultural production over the years. Total income from agricultural products sold gives a very rough estimate of trends, but does not take into account the many other farm products which are not sold but used on the farm. The indexes presented here account for all of the output of the farms of South Dakota with the exception of some very minor crops and farm gardens. The present study is the first attempt to combine all of the various types of …

Taxation In South Dakota: A Preliminary Report, Max Myers, John E. Thompson

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The demands for tax-supported services in South Dakota are ever increasing while the tax receipts to finance such services are not increasing accordingly. The upward trend in the cost of education highway and public welfare programs are primo examples of the additional revenue requirements. Methods of financing these programs and the effect of financial policies on those paying the tax bills will be the subject of this report. Voters and state legislators need to know the effects of alternative programs for collecting and spending state revenues. In this report an attempt will be made to point out the major services …

Additional Studies On The Effect Of Field Applications Of Insecticides On Honey Bees, F. V. Lieberman, George E. Bohart, G. F. Knowlton, William P. Nye

All PIRU Publications

Choice of an insecticide treatment to be used on a legume seed crop in bloom should be determined by its hazard o bees as well as its economic effectiveness in controlling harmful insects. This is true not only because bees provide the cross-pollination essential to high yield of quality seed but also because most beekeepers still depend on a honey crop for their living.

In 1947 the staff of the U.S. Legume Seed Research Laboratory at Logan, Utah, initiated a study to ascertain which of the principal new organic insecticides could be applied to seed alfalfa in bloom without creating …

Selection Of Pumping Equipment For Irrigation, Martin Fogel

SDSU Extension Circulars

A correctly designed pump irrigation installation, used under proper conditions and with good management, can be a profitable practice in the most parts of South Dakota. It is the intention of this publication to briefly discuss the equipment that goes into a pumping plant. By so ding, potential users of this equipment will have some indication of the operating costs of the various units as well as the type of equipment that is best suited to his particular conditions.

The Loss Of Some Strength Characteristics Of Coated Magazine Paper As A Result Of Exposure To Elevated Temperatures, Hugh D. Burnie

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Introduction

The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect that varying degrees of temperature have on the strength properties of coated magazine stock. Paper of this type encounters high temperature conditions primarily in the ink drying operations following the printing of the web. The strength with which the paper meets the cutting, folding and binding methods which follow the drying operation are of paramount importance to the printer. Throughout the work, attempts were made to assimilate conditions encountered in present day commercial practice.

A New Experimental Pulp Digester Installation With Separate Steam Supply, Andre L. Breton

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Part I

Literature Survey

Up to now, few articles have been written on the subject of Experimental Pulp Digester Installations. In our searches we have been able to find information concerning only The Pulp and Paper Research Institute of Canada in Montreal, P.Q., Canada, The Chemical Pulp Experimental Department of the Central Laboratory in Finland, and a sulfite digester for research and instruction at the University of Washington at Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.

Acid Treatment Of Pulp At Different Temperatures And The Resultant Change In Pulp Characteristics, Kent Dickerman

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Literature Survey

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the acid treatment of pulp at different temperatures. In the experimental work, enough sulfuric acid is used to neutralize the mixture of pulp and water and thereafter reach in the pH range of one and eight tenths to two at atmospheric pressure. Temperatures during experimentation range from room temperature to 100° Centigrade.

The Biosystematic Problem, Robert W. Long Jr.

Field and Laboratory

The new approach to taxonomy, variously called "The New Systematics", "Experimental Taxonomy", or “Biosystematics", is now a recognized branch of biology. The growth of this new approach during the past three decades has not only renewed interest in taxonomy among taxonomists, but has also demonstrated to the other disciplines of biological science the implications of taxonomic research to their work. The purpose of the present paper is to review briefly the methods and purposes of the biosystematists in the hope that study of this kind may be encouraged in the Southwest. In this region, problems of species that lend themselves …
