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.

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.

Dairy cows, in order to make milk in large quantities, must be supplied with liberal amounts of the raw material from which milk can be made. That means good feed. The average production of South Dakota milk cows for the year 1952 was 4170 pounds of milk and 156 pounds of butterfat. Much of this relativ~ly low production is due to poor feed and lack of enough feed. Production and feed records shown in Table IV - page 25 reveal that one way to get increased production is to give the cows more feed. Feed is the greatest single item …

The use of fertilizer is rapidly becoming recognized as an essential part of a good soil management program.

It should be emphasized that the fullest use be made of legumes and grasses, crop residues and. manure to maintain the organic matter supply of the soil and to reduce the amount of fertilizer required …

Farm To Retail Price Spreads, Edward Dailey
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.

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 …

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.

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.

Variety Every Day With Frozen Foods, Mildred Daniel
SDSU Extension Circulars
The freezing method of preserving food for. future use has been used for many years. Modem frozen foods, if proper methods of handling, packaging and freezing have been used, will be of high nutritive value and show very little change in flavor, color, and texture from that of fresh food. Freezing has advantages over other methods of preservation because foods that are frozen quickly and stored at zero will be more like fresh foods than will foods that have been either canned or dried. Canning has been a very satisfactory method of preserving food, and because of this, freezing should …
