Through the years Mt. MoriahLodge has not only been a land-mark, but a real part of the com-munity. It has served as a fraternalmeeting place for Masons, EasternStar and Job's Daughters, a WPAoffice, temporary classrooms, ball-room, gymnastics floor, quilt show-room and, on one occasion, awedding facility. The Lion's Clubmet monthly and held their Bingonights in the lodge basement formany years. Chances are mostJackson Co. residents have dinedthere at Election Day Luncheons,Grazing Association banquets,bake sales and other fine meals. In-terestingly the third floor was evenhome to a destitute masonicbrother and his family for a timeduring the Great Depression.

Mt. Moriah Lodge is on the Na-tional Register of Historic Placesfor it's unique architecture and therole it's members played in JacksonCounty history. The membershiphas received an historic grant forrepair and painting of the exterior,scheduled for spring.

Two years ago in January wasthe historic property's darkest hourwhen extensive flood damage fromfrozen pipes required the basementbe gutted. With only fire insurancecoverage, reclamation is still ongo-ing. To date the lower level lobbyand bathrooms have been restored.The dining room and kitchen workin the 33 x 66 foot basement is on-going.

If you see the light on, knock onthe side door and come on in. You'llprobably be treated to an historictour and maybe some homemadecookies.

The lights are on at historic Mt.Moriah Lodge, a Kadoka MainStreet icon. Built in 1916, the threestory Neo-Classical style buildingwas raised in less than a year bythe local masonic members. Manyof those masons brought theirskills 10 years before, when theyhelped found Kadoka as the rail-road came through. It was no aver-age plasterer who finished the 20foot, vaulted ceiling of the lodge'smain meeting room.

Records indicate that when thefunding, from the sale of bonds,was exceeded by $2,000 a member,who ranched locally, covered theshortfall out of his own pocket.Most of the lumber, including bird-seye maple flooring and cherrypocket doors, came from a sawmillin Michigan owned by one of thecharter member's father. The lodgebuilding was actually erected be-fore main street was leveled (seephoto on pg. 79 of old Jackson andWashabaugh Co. history book).

On it's dedication the buildingwas touted as “the largest edifice ofit's kind in the world, for the size ofthe membership and the commu-nity”. At that time the organiza-tion was doubling it's membershipannually. Some early membersfrom Bennett Co. would catch thetrain in Merriman, NE, ride viaRapid City and down to Kadoka formonthly meetings.

The community of Parmelee,South Dakota, gathered Tuesday,April 17 to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new fire hall. A dream that started over fouryears ago, the fire hall will be hometo the Parmelee Volunteer Fire De-partment (PVFD) located on theRosebud Indian Reservation. Through continued dedicationand determination, PVFD part-nered with over ten different agen-cies and groups such as the ToddCounty Commissioners, State ofSouth Dakota, Todd County Emer-gency Management, Rosebud SiouxTribe-Tribal President and entities,BIA, South Central RC&D, SouthDakota Department of Agriculture,and the Central South Dakota En-hancement District. South Dakota USDA Rural De-velopment provided funding for theproject totaling $120,000 through a$55,000 Community Facility Directloan and $65,000 Community Fa-cility grant, along with other fund-ing including a $10,000 applicantcontribution, and $130,000 Com-munity Development Block Grantfrom the State of South Dakota fora total project cost of $260,000.The fire department and commu-nity, led by local resident SusanKary, were able to access financialresources and build the supportfrom the community for the project. “This project exemplifies Presi-dent Obama’s commitment to in-vest in improved infrastructureand is a prime example of howRural Development programs canassist with the development of es-sential community services,” saidRural Development State DirectorElsie M. Meeks. “The leaders ofthis small community determinedthat they were in need of a fire sta-

tion – they had already secured afire truck – and they persevereduntil they secured the funding,even though it took them over fouryears.” Parmelee is approximately 21miles from the closest fire depart-ment and responses to fires some-times takes up to 45 minutes. Theneed for the new fire hall was ap-parent for quicker response timesfor emergency situations and forstorage of trucks and equipment. The new fire hall will be a 50’x70foot pre-engineered building withthree bays and portion of the facil-ity will be made available for com-munity functions. The 20 person volunteer fire de-partment serves a population of1,188. “I wish to thank everyone whohas so willingly supported us in ourefforts,” said Susan Kary, Secretaryfor the Parmelee Volunteer FireDepartment. “This wouldn’t havebeen possible without the partner-ships. We appreciate everyone whoparticipated in our event. It meansso much to our volunteer fire menand women and our small commu-nity to see this project become a re-ality.” USDA Rural Development haseight offices in the state servingSouth Dakotans living in ruralareas and communities.

It was the trip of a lifetime. Al-most 16 years ago ten families fromall over the U.S. were brought to-gether in a southern Chinese cityto adopt baby girls. This summer,nine of these same familiesbrought our daughters back to seetheir birth country. This time we started up northnear Beijing at a different orphan-age, an American church-spon-sored place for children withspecial needs. They find donationmoney for surgery to fix cleft lips,heart defects, tumors and boneymalformations, and then they helpthese kids get adopted. Our nine girls, along with threesisters and ten parents, assignedthemselves the job of playing withthose kids for two days, in order togive back a little before we startedtouring. Then we journeyed to see theGreat Wall, Tiananmen Square,the Forbidden City, terra cotta sol-diers, a panda preserve, and finallythe three orphanages from whereour children originally came. Wewere welcomed with the red-carpettreatment by orphanage directorsand high-level government offi-cials, as no large group such asours had as yet returned in thisway. There are several health relatedissues in China, about which wecan learn, starting with water andair pollution. There a clean envi-ronment appears a less importantpriority. Although their economyappears to be booming with big

public works construction, thestreets were filled with many morecars, motor scooters, and fewerbikes than 16 years ago. Cigarettesmoke hung everywhere, includingrestaurants, as many more obvi-ously smoke in China than in theU.S. Water was not as clean as weare used to, and we used bottledwater even to brush teeth. I returnto the American soil appreciatingmore than ever our clean air, skies,and water. But China has a wonderful tra-dition worth bringing here. Inevery square and public gatheringplace, each morning and evening,even in the steamy heat, we sawpeople happily exercising, dancing,stretching, and moving… mostly tomusic. As one young guide told me,“Especially the elderly realize thatthe key to staying alive is being ac-tive.” We in the US would benefitby following that example.Finally I would emphasize, and Iknow I speak for our nine familieswith China daughters, that thewarm sharing nature and the wel-coming culture of the people ofChina made it the trip of a lifetime.

Altering Recipes for Health Have you ever found a recipethat looks so tasty you can hardlywait to prepare it—but when youstudy it closer, you realize it maynot be good for your health? Do youhave a collection of delicious fam-ily recipes that have been handeddown through the years? Have youever considered making smallchanges to those recipes thatwould decrease problem ingredi-ents with healthier ingredient sub-stitutes? Use the Step Approach to alteryour favorite recipes for goodhealth. The First Step is to look forthe “problem ingredients” thatmake a recipe high in fat, choles-terol and sodium. This will get youon track with the 2010 DietaryGuidelines for Americans, whichdescribe a healthy diet as one that:1. Emphasizes fruits, vegetables,whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products; 2. In-cludes lean meats, poultry, fish,

beans, eggs, and nuts; and 3. Islow in saturated fats, trans fats,cholesterol, salt, sodium, andadded sugars. The Second Step is to find youringredient substitutes. Do this byreducing the amount or substitutean ingredient that is healthier foryou. You can reduce the fat in bak-ing by one-third to one-half inrecipes. Another option is to useapplesauce; if the recipe calls for 1cup of butter--use 1 cup of apple-sauce in place of the butter. Tryusing plain, non-fat yogurt in placeof sour cream. Reduce your sodium to 2300 mga day or less. Try replacing saltwith herbs and spices to flavorfoods. Consider using fruit juice orwine for cooking liquid instead ofbroth or bouillon. Choose no-saltadded products. Reduce sugar by one-quarter toone-third in baked goods anddesserts (this saves 200 to 300calories.) Increase flavorings suchas cinnamon or vanilla to enhancethe sweetness. The Third Step is to change yourmethod of preparation. As an ex-ample, try baking an item insteadof frying it. Leave skins on fruitsand vegetables when possible toincrease fiber. Altering recipes for good healthdoesn’t have to be a difficult chal-lenge. Healthy, tasty cooking caninclude decreasing fat, sugar andsalt in most recipes, while increas-ing the fiber, vitamins and miner-als.

Read John 4:7-30Take an honest look at your life. Do you feel whole

and complete, or is there the sense that something'smissing? If you're aware of an emptiness, what are youusing to try and fill that void? Is it relationships with

family and friends? Or have you opted for achievements, hoping they will bring a sense of significance?Maybe you use a substance or activity of some kind to deaden the need or to bring temporary comfort. Jesus met a woman with just such an empty place in her soul. She was longing for love but had beenrepeatedly rejected. In those days, a man could divorce his wife simply because she displeased him insome way. The Samaritan woman had gone through this rejection five times and was now seeking to fillup her soul with a man who wasn't her husband. She probably tried to cover up her emptiness so those around her wouldn't see her hurt, but whenJesus met her at the well and told her all that she had done, her days of hiding were over. She had finallyfound the only One who could bring wholeness to her life. Before you can fill the emptiness in your soul,you, too, must let Christ's piercing gaze penetrate into the depths of your heart and reveal the root causeof your incompleteness. We were created for God. All other pursuits are inadequate substitutes and will never bring the lastingsatisfaction we are seeking. Life has a way of beating us down, leaving us empty and disillusioned. Butwhen we allow Christ unrestricted access to our hearts, He fills us up with His unfailing love.

Wetwood Disease ofCottonwood and Elm TreesWetwood disease is a common

ailment of cottonwood and elms.The disease manifests itself inter-nally with an elevated pH andmineral content, more water andgas under pressure.

Wetwood is a bacterial disease.The internal liquid spreads intothe outer sapwood and from theremoves out of the tree throughcracks in branch crotches or oldpruning wounds. The bark bleach-ing is due to the high pH of this liq-uid.

The disease is sometimes asso-ciated with symptoms of leafscorch and yellows and sometimeseven branch dieback. However,often the only symptom expressedby the disease is the streaking onthe bark and otherwise the treegrows just fine. Regardless there

are no effective treatments for thedisease and drilling holes in thetree to relieve pressure may causemore problems than it cures.

For more information on treeand shrub diseases, insect pestsand other ailments, click the “PestAlert Archives” on the “Educa-tional Information” page on the SDDept of Ag, “Conservation &Forestry” website:http://sdda.sd.gov/Forestry/educa-tional-information/default.aspx.

Black Knot Diseaseof Cherry and Plum

Black knot, also known as deadman’s finger, is a very commonfungal disease of cherry andplums. These black, coal-like galls,sometimes covered with a whitepower, can often be found liningthe branches and trunks of suscep-tible trees.

A common recommendation isto prune out these galls during thewinter months, but this has verylimited value. First, these galls arethe second year’s infection. Thefirst year infection is only indi-cated by a slight greenish swellingof the tissue. If these shoots arenot also removed they will grow toform the blacked masses the fol-lowing year, so it is hard to getahead of the disease by pruning.

The other problem is only cer-tain trees are very susceptible toblack knot and once they get thedisease you can probably expectthe tree to become infected againregardless of your pruning efforts.Cutting the tree down is probablythe best approach. When plantingcherry (including chokecherry) andplum, look for varieties resistant tothe disease.

Look at the pictures on yourwalls. What do they tell about you?Quite a bit, probably. We, for ex-ample, have a picture of two youngkids running down the hill forhome after being cooped up in acountry school all day. This mightindicate that wife Corinne is aschool teacher and has taught at acountry school, which is so. Wealso have a nice print of a buttethat figured largely in Corinne’schildhood since it sticks up abovethe landscape near her hometownand is pretty hard to miss. Anotherlarge print is of a stream runningthrough forested hills as might beseen in the western part of ourstate and not far from the buttepreviously mentioned. Fortunately, I like at least twoof those paintings. I attended acountry school in the early grades,and, although I have no particularfeelings about the butte, it is welldone in colors that please me. Theforested hills not so much sincemountains and forests tend to giveme claustrophobia, but the scene isof a clearing and the greens are inpleasant tones. I, too, have a wall hanging thatisn’t a favorite with Corinne. It’s adream catcher with the skull of asmall animal in the center. Some-how, my frau isn’t big on suspend-ing dead critters from the wall, butat least she hasn’t snatched thething down and flung it out thedoor just yet. She has no major ob-jection to the various sunset andsilhouette photos of mine that I’veenlarged and hung here and there.Being ranchers and of the ruralpersuasion, we are not short of thenext horse picture either or shotsof particularly nice birds and flow-ers. In many homes in this area,cowboy is king. You might seemajor wall hangings of JohnWayne as he appeared in one of hisWestern movies. Sitting aroundthe room might be various objectsor representations of such thingsas cowboy hats, boots, spurs,chaps, saddles, horses, cattle, tack,ropes and the like. Similarly, on the coast, you areapt to find images of the ocean,surf, ships, seashells, and that sortof thing. Since I do love the oceanalthough second to the prairie, I dohave a large original painting ofwaves rolling up onto a beach. It’squite nice but isn’t hanging rightnow as there is no good place for it,nor are oceans high on the hit pa-

rade with Corinne. We once stayedat a motel that was on a pier overa bay, and she came down withbronchitis. She also inclines to-wards motion sickness so theprospect of long voyages does notfill her with delight. She isn’t eventhat fond of walking on the beach,picking up shells, or playing in thesurf (which I am.) If you’re a hunter or fisherman,this opens up another large assort-ment of visual choices, namelydeer, elk, antelope, bass, walleyes,ducks, pheasants, wild turkeys etc.If you’re into such things, youwould like my dentist’s office—wildlife everywhere but runningstrongly to ducks. Nephew Scottlives and breathes this stuff too,and his collection of mounted tro-phies has outrun his own home sothat some are on the walls of myfolks’ old house across the wayfrom ours. That house is fre-quently home to Scott and hiscronies who come to hunt and fishas often as they can. The other day I was somewhattaken aback at a bachelor pad Ivisited. There was not a thinghanging on the walls. A few familyphotos were displayed on a smallstand by one wall, but, other thanthat, the walls were virgin terri-tory. The resident either had noartistic sense or interest, or wasn’tin the place long enough to domuch with it. At least there wereno large posters of buxom lasses. Speaking of artistic sense, theway in which you display a collec-tion of pictures will tell somethingabout you as well. If my mom hadthree things she wanted to hang,they would always be in a linestraight across. There would benone of this sloping to enhance thecurve or flow of the room.Foursquare was her style. I’m theopposite. I want groupings to besomewhat arty. So, if you don’t want people toknow much about you, watch whatyou hang on the wall. They mighttell the story. Personally, I’m intopretty sights and like interestingand colorful things around mewherever I happen to be. MaybeI’m taking a page from my Heav-enly Father’s notebook when hesays, “Fix your thoughts on whatis true and honorable and right.Think about things that are pureand lovely and admirable. Thinkabout things that are excellent andworthy of praise.” Not a bad idea.Nice pictures on the wall can help.

Lookin’ Aroundby Syd Iwan

Merry Willard got to Rapid Citya couple of times lately. One dayPat Willard of Philip and Merrywent in part to find a new humidi-fier for Pat since her apartment istoo dry. They had lunch that daywith John Willard who now runsthe business his father started inmanufacturing and selling CAWwater. Another day, Chuck andMerry both went and met theirdaughter, Niki, from Hot Springsand did some things with her andshopped a bit. Back at home,Chuck has been putting the finish-ing touches on his chicken housesince he’s ordered baby chicks andexpects them soon. Merry has been“deconstructing” her basementsince she found fault with a bunchof ants sneaking in a fault or crackbetween the poured foundation andthe cement-block walls. That bugdoorway has now been sealed.Some linoleum also was found toharbor crawly things so it has beenremoved. Reinstatement of thefloor coverings is scheduled to startthis week. Chuck has a couple ofbrandings already on his scheduleand is looking forward to that sea-son. Chuck and Bob Fortune have anew guy helping them this week.His name is T. C. and comes fromWyoming. Bob’s wife, Ruth, foundhim there in Wyoming since hismother goes to the same church asshe does. T. C. has been working ona place in Nebraska, but Fortunesstole him away to come here. Brisa and Martin Badure have acouple of baby chicks that they aretending at the moment. They gotthem from their cousin Felicia inKadoka. Other than that, the goatsare about through kidding out, andtending the rest areas east of townis the main family activity for Gregand Dana. Dana says they havekind of a menagerie, consideringthey have various critters runningaround, but they enjoy them. Fayola Mansfield is once againwalking on both legs and has beenfor three weeks now. You may recallthat she badly broke her anklethree months ago and has beendealing with two casts and a blackbrace. Those are now gone and acane is helping with mobility. Fay-ola still isn’t quite as mobile asshe’d like to be but hopes she canget outside soon and start dealing

with plants, weeds, and anythingelse that needs tending. Betty Kusick had lots of com-pany on Sunday. Her daughter,Loretta Schreiber, and her hus-band, Lawrence, came and broughtdinner. Son and grandson, Kennyand Kevin Kusick, came a bit laterin the afternoon as did nephewMarvin Kusick and his two sons.Kenny, Kevin, Marvin and kids allwent fishing in the afternoon.Loretta and Lawrence pulled someweeds and did other odd jobs.There was a lot of visiting andsome picture taking. After every-one had left, Betty went down tothe dam and did some fishing. Shedidn’t have much luck with thefish, but she did have a good visitwith Rev. Denke who stopped thereat the dam just to visit. Bunny Green was having a dis-agreement with her dog on Sundayevening. She’d gone out to feed akitten, but the dog grabbed it andhauled it too far away for her tofeed it. She was waiting for the kit-ten to wander back and meanwhilescolding the dog. Betty Kusickcame over for coffee and a visit onFriday. Rodney Schnee dropped byfor a half hour or so on Sunday.Bunny and Rodney worked to-gether at the truck stop for a num-ber of years. Wally Wells also cameby with the mail one day. On Sun-day, Bunny got to church and Sun-day school which she didn’t lastweek due to the rain and mud. Delores Bonenberger is keepingher eye on the cattle since her guysall tend to wander off and workother places part of the time. Theyare mostly done calving and havealready branded. They bought afew more cows that calved later,but Keith and Kade got those

calves branded up on Sunday. BrettBonenberger said they have syn-chronized their heifers and are ex-pecting to start artificiallyinseminating them this week. Theyput most of the cattle out to sum-mer pasture on Sunday. Ronda and Rick Dennis leftearly Wednesday morning pullinga U-haul trailer to Denver, CO.Since their daughter, Bobbi, andBen recently purchased a newhome, it was time to get Bobbi’s be-longings out of storage. Ronda andRick returned home on Sundayevening. Lee Addison said Rhonda contin-ues to recuperate from the kneesurgery she had in January. Thingsare not going as fast as she wouldlike, but they’re going. There is nodancing or such activities just yet.They also got some baby chicks re-cently and are hoping to eventuallyhave some fried chicken and someeggs if the coyotes don’t manage tohave a field day. Frank Carlson has been workingon the training of some colts lately.He’s also been helping Clair andJoAnn Bitting with tending cattlepart of the time. He said he’s readyto start the branding season whichhe says is a good time of getting to-gether with the other cowboysaround. Colter Carlson said they aremostly overseeing the calvingprocess. Ranch owner, Ken Wilson,came from North Carolina lastweek, helped a few days with thisand that, and flew back home onSunday.

Resolve says, “I will.” The mansays, “I will climb this mountain.They told me it is too high, too far,too steep, too rocky and too diffi-

cult. But it is my mountain. I willclimb it. You will soon see me wav-

ing from the top of it or dead onthe side from trying.” John Rohn

Pastor Denke visited in the Billand Marjorie Letellier home onMonday. Harry and Jeanne Merchen keptappointments in Hot Springs andRapid City on Monday. Harry hasbeen enjoying using his hundredyear old John Deere walking plowlately. Harry restored the antiquethis winter while in Arizona. Heand Jeanne planted potatoes withit last week. Sounds like fun, guys. Tuesday morning the JamesLetelliers were among the 100 folksattending the groundbreaking forthe new fire hall at Parmelee.Other area folks attending wereHoward and Nette Heinert, BenHuber, representing the WhiteRiver Fire Department, and theRosebud Sioux Tribe sent their firecrew with their trucks as well.Howard Heinert has been with theproject from its beginning in 2004,when he served as a county com-missioner; Nette is serving astreasurer. It was a very nice cele-bration complete with dignitaries

and gold shovels and a chili lunchwas served at the Lord’s WarriorsLutheran Church following theevent. Little Michael Smith withhis red fireman’s helmet and goldshovel stole the show. Unless you live in an “out of theway” place like Parmelee, you haveno idea what a big deal this reallyis for them to have their own firetrucks and hall. It will be nice to beable to protect their own homesand lands in case of fire withouthaving to hope and pray that a dis-tant fire department aren’t alreadybusy somewhere else. When light-ning strikes it usually does it inmore places than one that samenight. The folks all went home anx-ious to see the day when they canactually have a new fire hall stand-ing at the site -- ready to protectthe fire trucks, that will in turnprotect them. The surrounding res-idents sure appreciate Susan Kary,who has spearheaded the entirefire hall project. Tuesday, Bill and MarjorieLetellier accompanied Gary Letel-lier to Winner. They also traveledwith him to Rapid City on Thurs-day. Glad to hear you are gettingout some.

The South Dakota StockgrowersAssociation sent a letter to USDept of Agriculture Secretary TomVilsack this week calling for addi-tional reform to the Beef Check-offprogram. In the letter to Secretary Vil-sack, Stockgrowers PresidentShane Kolb said, "We feel stronglythat producer confidence must berestored to the Beef check-off pro-gram in order to continue the pro-gram as a benefit to producers." The Beef Check-off program is afederal mandate that requires onedollar of every beef animal sold inthe United States to be paid for useto promote and research beef. Thepromotion and research work iscontracted to private organizations,mostly the National Cattlemen'sBeef Association and their affili-ates. South Dakota Stockgrowermembers have become wary of theBeef Check-off program after re-cent audits found a lack of trans-parency and inadequate firewallsto separate producer check-offfunds from the NCBA's privatework as a lobby organization.Those lobby efforts have often beenin conflict with the policies sup-ported by other producer groups in-cluding Stockgrowers. Additionally,the legislation that governs theBeef Check-off program explicitlydenies the use of check-off moneysfor any lobbying by any contractor. "It is becoming increasingly dif-ficult for our members to justifysending their hard earned dollarsto a contracting organization with-out more substantial assurancethat the money is being separatedfrom any lobbying efforts." "At a time when the UnitedStates Beef herd is experiencing itslowest numbers ever, and con-sumer confidence is being repeat-

edly shaken through issues like thelean finely textured beef discus-sion, we need a strong beef promo-tion program working forproducers more than ever." Kolbclosed the letter by saying, "We feelthat these changes would make sig-nificant strides toward restoringproducer confidence and supportfor the Beef Check-off program. The Stockgrowers Board of Di-rectors have called for reforms toinclude: Amending the Beef PromotionAct by 1) allowing the Cattlemen's BeefBoard to become a completely inde-pendent and freestanding organi-zation, and 2) lifting the 5 percent cap onCBB administrative costs so it canfinances its own independent meet-ings without assistance from or co-ordination with any policyorganization. An amendment to the Beef Pro-motion Act that would limit anyone organization from beingawarded contracts that equal morethan fifty percent of the totalcheck-off dollars in any calendaryear and that no portion of the beefcheck-off dollars awarded to suchan organization be used to pay forany portion of salaries or benefitsof people employed by a policy orlobbying organization or of an indi-vidual consultant or lobbyist. A change in policy that accom-plishes 1) a complete separation be-tween any policy organization andFederation of State Beef Councilsto provide for complete check-offaccountability, 2) an increase incheck-off fees to be tied to a two-year periodic producer referendumon the check-off program, and 3)the beef check-off program shouldbe housed with other mandatorycheck-off programs under USDA.

Stockgrowers call on USDA to continuereform of Beef Check-off Program

Make germinationtesting for smallgrains a part ofspring planting Germination testing for smallgrain seed that has been savedfrom previous growing seasonsshould be a regular step in springplanting preparation, says SDSUExtension Plant Pathology FieldSpecialist Bob Fanning, during arecent iGrow Radio Network inter-view. This year is a crucial year whena germination test should be donebecause of all the potential prob-lems that can impact poor germina-tion," Fanning said. "When we lookat all different disease problemsand production problems we hadlast year including; scab, blackpoint, glume blotch, ergot andother various virus diseases alongwith root and crown rot - therewere an awful lot of things that canresult in poor germination and poorseedling vigor." Fanning explains that a germi-nation test shows growers whatpercentage of a seed unit is capableof producing normal seedlingsunder ordinarily favorable condi-tions. Germination rate is standardwhen growers purchase new bagsof seed, however, if small grain pro-ducers save seed from the previousharvest to plant back the followingseason the only way they can knowthe germination rate is by havingthe seed tested. "The germination test will tellthem how well that lot of seed willperform for them," he said. The SDSU Seed Testing Labora-tory is a great resource for growersneeding a germination test. Grow-ers can pick up envelopes and in-formation at their local Extensionoffice or Regional Extension Cen-ter. Growers can expect results inabout two weeks. Fanning says if a unit of seedhas a germination rate of 85 per-cent or greater, growers can expectOK yields. The ideal germinationrate is 90 to 95 percent. When aunit of seed has lower germinationrates, Fanning says growers maywant to either purchase new seedor adjust their planting rate - deci-sions he says cannot be made un-less growers know the germinationrate. "Knowing what that germina-tion percentage is allows them toadjust their planting rate to get thestand they desire," he said. All purchased seed must betested for germination. "Germination test is a require-ment of selling certified seed," hesaid. For more information on thistopic, visit iGrow.org.

South Dakotans heading out-doors need to protect themselvesfrom ticks and the diseases theycan carry, says a state health offi-cial. “Each year we have SouthDakotans infected with tularemia,Rocky Mountain spotted fever andLyme disease – all tick-borne ill-nesses,” said Dr. Lon Kightlinger,State Epidemiologist for the De-partment of Health. “Last year wereported four cases of Lyme dis-ease, eight of tularemia, three ofehrlichiosis, and one Rocky Moun-tain spotted fever in SouthDakota.” Kightlinger noted that the de-partment investigates every case oftick-borne disease reported. Thoseinvestigations found that all fourcases of Lyme disease reported in2011 had out-of state tick exposure.

South Dakota’s prairies actuallyhelp to deter Lyme disease some-what because the deer tick thatcarries it needs heavily forestedareas to thrive. A 2011 tick surveillance projectin eastern South Dakota foundnone of the Ioxodes black-leggeddeer ticks that carry Lyme disease.The SDSU-led project surveyedforested areas around Sica Hollow,Oak Lake and Lewis and ClarkRecreation Area multiple timesover an 88-day period betweenJune and October. “While we did not find the deertick that carries Lyme disease, wedid find that Dermacentor vari-abilis, the dog tick, was plentiful inall three locations,” said Dr.Michael Hildreth, a professor inthe departments of Biology and Mi-crobiology and also Veterinary and

tissue and pull slowly and steadily,being careful not crush it. Thenapply antiseptic to the site to pre-vent infection. If you use barehands to remove a tick, wash yourhands thoroughly with warm waterand soap, being especially carefulnot to touch your eyes before wash-ing. To repel ticks when outdoorstuck your pants into your socks andspray clothes and any exposed skinwith a tick repellent. Other precau-tions include: •Check frequently for tickswhen outside, especially the scalpand folds of skin. Ticks need to beattached for several hours tospread infection so you can signifi-cantly cut your risk by checking forand removing ticks right away. •Check small children thor-

oughly and often for ticks whenthey've been outside or have hadcontact with pets or livestock thatmay have ticks. •Ask your veterinarian aboutappropriate insecticides and collarsto protect pets from ticks and limitthe number they carry into thehome. For added protection, applyinsecticides and tick repellents toyour pet's bedding. •Check your animals frequentlyfor ticks. To remove ticks from ani-mals, apply constant traction withforceps or tweezers. If you must useyour fingers, wear disposablegloves and wash hands thoroughlywith soap and water afterward.Fact sheets on specific tick-bornediseases can be found on the De-partment of Health web site athttp://doh.sd.gov/DiseaseFacts/.

Biomedical Science at SDSU. “Thedog tick transmits Rocky MountainSpotted Fever, tularemia and ehrli-chiosis.” Symptoms of tick-borne illnessinclude sudden onset of a moder-ate-to-high fever, stiff neck, deepmuscle pain, arthritis, fatigue, se-vere headache, chills, a rash on thearms and legs or around the site ofthe bite, and swollen lymph nodes,particularly in the neck. If you de-velop any of these symptoms aftera tick bite, see your doctor. WithRocky Mountain spotted fever theillness does not start immediatelyafter the tick bite, but typically 5 to10 days after the tick attachment. A tick bite is usually painlessand appears as a small red bumpwith a bright red halo. To removean attached tick, use tweezers or a
