"This bulletin discusses the topographic, soil, and climatic features of the northern Great Plains, with special reference to the production of hard spring wheat in that area. Cultural methods for growing the crop are given." -- title

Report discussing the Russian thistle in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota; its growth habits; and methods for destroying it. A brief appendix of notable weeds in the region follows.

This bulletin discusses beef production in the Corn Belt of the United States with special regard to feed preparation, cattle selection, and methods for fattening cattle.

"This bulletin explains the general precautions which should be taken under all circumstances. In addition it describes six special methods which have proved effective in controlling or eradicating the wild oat, indicating in each case the subdivision of the hard spring-wheat area in which the method will succeed. The bulletin applies particularly to North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota, and it recommendations may not suit the conditions of the Pacific Coast States." -- p. 2

Report discussing the different varieties of durum wheat, their various uses, and areas to which they are best adapted. Among the varieties discussed are Kubanka, Arnautka, Mindum, Buford, Acme, Monad, Marouani, Pentad, and Peliss.

During the months of August and September, 1979, geoMetrics, Inc. collected 12,415 line miles of high sensitivity airborne radiometric and magnetic data in adjoining portions of South Dakota and Minnesota over seven 1 by 2 degree NTMS quadrangles (Thief River Falls, Grand Forks, Fargo, Milbank, Watertown, New Ulm, and St. Cloud). All radiometric and magnetic data were fully corrected and interpreted and are presented as eight volumes.

This report discusses aeromagnetic data that was obtained from uranium anomalies discovered in the Milbank quadrangle of South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota.

This bulletin discusses wheat scab, a fungal disease of wheat, rye, barley, and oats that is caused by a parasite. It describes the appearance of afflicted crops as well as the parasite's life cycle and proposes a variety of control measures.

Description of geology in Minnesota and explanations of glacial drift within the state an immediate surroundings (Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota) with sections detailing the movement of each glacier and relevant geological notes. Index starts on page 147.

Report describing the types of wheat known as emmer and spelt, which are not widely grown in the United States and differ from other types of wheat in that most of the kernel is not removed from the chaff during threshing. The history, distribution, adaptation, varieties, culture, harvesting and threshing, and uses of both emmer and spelt are discussed.

"The European corn borer is recognized as a dangerous enemy of the corn crop.... Its eradication is considered economically impossible but it is believed that the injury may be kept at a point so low that little commercial damage will occur during normal seasons. This can be done by using control measures and practices that have proved to be effective.... On some farms some changes in the crops grown and in their sequence will aid materially in controlling the borer and may prove profitable even when borers are not present. The control program for the individual farm should be given consideration at once in order to avoid sudden disturbance of the organization and operation of the farm when control measures do become inevitable. The necessity of concerted effort by all producers in an infested district becomes evident when the life habits of the borer are considered." -- p. ii

Describes the trend toward establishing planned recreation areas in rural communities, and the economic and social benefits they provide to farmers.

Describes various types of planned villages and provides examples of features in such communities.

"Results of a reconnaissance geochemical survey are reported for the Milbank Quadrangle, Minnesota; North Dakota; South Dakota. Statistical data and areal distributions for uranium and uranium-related variables are presented for 662 groundwater and 319 stream sediment samples. Also included is a brief discussion on location and geologic setting." (from Abstract)

"Results of a reconnaissance geochemical survey of the Watertown Quadrangle are reported. Field and laboratory data are presented for 711 groundwater and 603 stream sediment samples. Statistical and areal distributions of uranium and possible uranium-related variables are displayed. a generalized geologic map of the survey is provided and pertinent geologic factors which may be of significance in evaluating the potential for uranium mineralization are briefly discussed."

Tables presenting well water, stream sediment, and field data for samples collected from a geochemical survey of the Milbank Quadrangle in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

Tables and documentation detailing observational field data from stream sediment and well water samples taken from the Watertown NTMS quadrangle.

"Beekeeping methods suitable for the clover region are well developed but many beekeepers of this region are failing to obtain the full available honey crop because of deficiencies in their practice. A system of management is here given which will result in a full crop from these sources. The variation in the value of the clovers to the beekeeper is also discussed and the methods to be followed in bringing the clover region back to its former prominence in honey production are outlined." -- p. 2
