Farm Layout And Field Arrangement, H. D. Mccullough
Farm Layout And Field Arrangement, H. D. Mccullough
SDSU Extension Circulars
Farm layout involves the location of the fields with respect to the farmstead and public highways, the size, shape and number of fields, and the location of hog-lots, feed yards, etc. In arranging or re-arranging a farm layout the most important considerations are convenience and economy of operation. An ideal farm layout is so arranged that there shall be a minimum of time consumed, no retracing of steps and no lost motion in doing the routine work of the farm.

The Kitchen, Mary A. Dolve
The Kitchen, Mary A. Dolve
SDSU Extension Circulars
The kitchen can well be called the work shop of the home for a very large part of the home maker’s time an energy is spent doing the work in the kitchen. Sometimes we loose sight of the fact that much of what seems drudgery is to a great extent due to gloomy and inconvenient surroundings; that a room with a drab or dark blue walls create drab and blue thoughts, that sunny and cheerful room will do much to keep the worker happy and contented.

Child's Made-Over Dress, Azalea Linfield
Child's Made-Over Dress, Azalea Linfield
SDSU Extension Circulars
Many worn garments may be renovated and remodeled into useful clothes for the younger members of the family. There are more possibilities in making over clothing for children than for adults, because smaller amounts of material are necessary. Materials that are too old in weave, color, or figure should not be used unless this fault can be disguised. Sometimes the addition of contrasting color will solve this problem.

It is recommended that club members decide what they would like to make during the club year after they have made an inventory of their wardrobes and discovered for themselves, what they really need most. The following outline has been used to advantage by club members.
Textile Study : Cotton, Azalea Linfield
Textile Study : Cotton, Azalea Linfield
SDSU Extension Circulars
The vegetable fiber cotton is of more value to mankind than any one of the other textile fibers, on account of its cheapness, its availability, and its varied, usefulness. The materials made from it range from the finest threads, mulls and laces, to heavy blankets and sail cloths. Its value is enhanced by its resemblance, after special treatment to linen, wool, or silk, by which warmth and attractive appearance may be gained at small cost. The supply of cotton usually equals the demand, so that the finished product may be put on the market at reasonable prices.
Textile Study : Wool, Azalea Linfield
Textile Study : Wool, Azalea Linfield
SDSU Extension Circulars
Materials made from woolen and worsted yarns are among our most useful and valued textiles. The raw material is procured form the fleeces of the various breeds of sheeps, goats, and other animals living in all parts of the world. The clothes made from this wool or hair vary greatly, as the fiber ranges from the short staple, soft, crumpy, dull merino wool to the long, silky, lustrous wool of the Leicester sheep of England, the glossy hair of the Angora goat of Constantinople, or the long, coarse hair of the Chinese sheep. The length of the staple varies from …

Textile Study : Linen, South Dakota State College And U.S. Department Of Agriculture Cooperating
SDSU Extension Circulars
Linen has been called the textile of luxury as its expense in fine grades stands in the way of its common use. In olden times it supplied many of the family needs but in the present day cotton has largely supplanted it for common uses. Linen is made from the long, lustrous fiber obtained from the stock of the flax plant grown in European countries and to some extent in America. (See more in text.)
Textile Study : Silk, Azalea Linfield
Textile Study : Silk, Azalea Linfield
SDSU Extension Circulars
The filament which is obtained from the cocoons of the cultivated silkworm makes the costliest and most beautiful textile fabric. A variety of materials are made from it, ranging from filmy chiffon and lade to the heaviest plushes and grosgrains, and from soft dull finishes to the most crisp and glossy ones. The popularity and demand for it at a low price have caused adulterations of it and substitutes of other fibers for it. Women’s lack of knowledge is a large factor in the unreliability of purchased material.
The School Lunch Box, Mary A. Dolve
The School Lunch Box, Mary A. Dolve
SDSU Extension Circulars
The cold lunch at its best is not the most desirable food for taking care 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 …

Co-Operative Wool Marketing In South Dakota, J. C. Holmes
Co-Operative Wool Marketing In South Dakota, J. C. Holmes
SDSU Extension Circulars
During 1918 and 1919 several of the counties of the state, through the help of their farm bureaus and county agricultural agents, assisted sheep raisers in marketing their wool cooperatively via the county wool pool system. This method afforded a great many advantages over the old system wherein each sheepman marketed his wool privately to county buyers, in that it made possible selling on a grade basis, assembling the wool in car lots, and in many other respects reduced the expense of marketing considerably. However, by the spring of 1920, it had become evident that the county pooling system had …

SDSU Extension Circulars
The past year has been filled with unusual activity and interest along the different phases of agricultural extension work. The demand for the services of the different extension workers has greatly increased, so much so that it has become a problem as to how their time may be best assigned to accomplish the most.
Extension work is based upon cooperation. The counties, state, and government cooperate in finding the problems and in solving them. Some of these agricultural and rural problems may be solved in the local community; others need the assistance of the whole county; other problems, again, are …
Septic Tank For Sewage Disposal On The Farm, Ralph L. Patty
Septic Tank For Sewage Disposal On The Farm, Ralph L. Patty
SDSU Extension Circulars
The purpose of this little circular is to show the plan for constructing an efficient and inexpensive septic tank for the disposal of sewage from the farm home. If properly installed, this tank will need no attention whatsoever except the removal of the greater part of the sludge every three or four years. If a larger plan for the tank is desired, it may be obtained in blueprint form for five cents (to cover the cost of the blue print paper) by addressing the Extension Division of the South Dakota State College, Brookings, S. Dak.
A Serviceable Farm Barn, Ralph L. Patty
A Serviceable Farm Barn, Ralph L. Patty
SDSU Extension Circulars
There is a great demand for the plan of a general barn suitable for a South Dakota farm of from a quarter to a half section of land. Not only are old buildings being replaced but a very great number of larger tracts are being divided into separate farms, and entire sets of new buildings are being erected. These facts, more than any others, probably account for the large number of requests received by the Extension Division for such a plan. The plan presented in this circular is what we believe will best meet this need.

Potato Seed Certification In South Dakota, Frank E. Mccall
Potato Seed Certification In South Dakota, Frank E. Mccall
SDSU Extension Circulars
The introduction of dangerous potato diseases, (notably powdery scab and black wart) along with Federal grade regulations and the demands of many states that potatoes for propagating purposes be certified—as to purity and freedom from diseases—has aroused unusual interest in the standardization of potato shipments from the various northern potato growing centers. Early in 1919, the potato growers of the state felt an urgent need for definite lines of potato improvement. Accordingly, a plan for inspection and certification of potato seed stock was inaugurated. This move was entirely voluntary on the part of the·potato growers and was placed under the …
A Suggested Farm Entrance Sign For Advertising Purposes, Ralph L. Patty, Geo A. Starring
A Suggested Farm Entrance Sign For Advertising Purposes, Ralph L. Patty, Geo A. Starring
SDSU Extension Circulars
With the great increase in the number of farmers who are adopting names for their farmsteads, there is an accompanying desire for the erection of appropriate sign boards, entrance signs, or other devices of advertising value. The accompanying sketch and working plan are intended to show what may be done with ordinary building materials in erecting a sign that has good lines. Farmers who contemplate the putting up of two posts and a straight cross board may find in this suggestion something worthwhile. If the sign is worth erecting at all, why not put up one that is attractive? Many …
The Balanced Garden, Frank E. Mccall
The Balanced Garden, Frank E. Mccall
SDSU Extension Circulars
The body needs protein, carbohydrates, and fats in a quite well-defined ratio. This ratio can be most easily provided if balanced meals are served. It will be much easier to serve balanced meals if the foods containing the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are produced in or near the right proportions. If the garden is depended upon for the bulk of the food supply, then the varieties grown should be selected upon this basis.
The Community Meat Ring, John M. Brander
The Community Meat Ring, John M. Brander
SDSU Extension Circulars
"Fresh meat regularly and at reasonable prices” is what a rural community in Douglas county has adopted as its slogan. To have fresh meat whenever desired from farm butchered livestock is too often considered practically impossible on account of the rather limited amount of fresh meat that a family could use before the meat spoils. To get it regularly from a butcher shop involves added time in addition to the fact that very high prices are charged. The salting, curing, smoking, and other methods of meat preservation are practiced to a certain extent by farmers throughout the country, but supplies …
