The North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station decided in 1947 to intensify the barley breeding program and begin a barley quality testing laboratory to provide a fairly rapid and accurate means of evaluating quality on early generation barley. The author addresses the color of the grain, the fertilizer used and the loss of grade due to careless handling. Various aspects of the testing process is detailed, including malting.

This article written in 1957 discusses the development of an early maturing potato variety with high yielding capacity, attractive appearance, good table quality, disease resistance and well adapted to produce under North Dakota conditions. This was an important objective of the potato breeding program at North Dakota Agricultural Experiment
Station. This article focuses on those results from 1955-56 in North Dakota. Marketable yields, specific gravity, abrasion tests, Russet Scab and Silver Scurf and chipping quality are detailed.

As poults and chicks reach the age when they no longer require
artificial heat to maintain their own body temperature , they are moved from the brooder to the range. Moving young birds from a heated unit to the outside subjects that bird to many stress factors. When the change from brooder to range is made be sure to use some of the older equipment so that all birds will get both feed and water during the changeover period. Another point to consider is housing. Certain disease hazards must be considered when birds are moved from brooder to range. This one page article gives insight into the process of the changeover process of chicks from brooder to new home and offers suggestions for making that transition the best way.
