A Study of Local Poultry Market News Service in South Dakota with Particular Reference to the Turkey Industry

When the first settlers arrived in South Dakota in 1860 they found many turkeys in the woods of a ridge that forms the border between Yankton and Turner counties. They named it Turkey Ridge. The name has continued, but the turkeys are no more. When the first domestic turkeys were brought into the Dakota territory is not known. The farmers of this state have for many years raised turkeys. However, it has only been within the last decade or so that large flocks have appeared, Twenty years ago a farmer or his wife kept four or five hens and a tom or two back each fall for breeding purposes. According to Table 1 the number of birds on hand each year increased from 179,000 in 1931 to 399,000 in 1940 and then decreased to 44,000 in 1950. They and their progeny received almost no care. They usually obtained their feed around the barnyard and pastures. In this manner the poultry and feed cost were relatively low. Whatever the turkeys brought in the fall was considered profit

Plastic optical fiber comprising cyclic block copolymer

Plastic optical fibers or plastic optical fiber cores with good high temperature resistance to optical attenuation loss are prepared from a cyclic block copolymer characterized by a: A. Weight ratio of hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer block to hydrogenated vinyl aromatic polymer block of 35:65 to 10:90; B. Number average molecular weight (Mn) of from 40,000 to 150,000, grams per mole (g/mol); and C. Hydrogenation level such that each hydrogenated vinyl aromatic polymer block and each hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer block has a hydrogenation level of at least 95 percent
