You’ll also read directions on finding a millionaire and being a “total woman,” and an 1880s ad for marital bliss through patent medicine. Here, you’ll find a postcard from a Interested in this spot?

Helen Zdenek, Owner www.petersonauctioneers.com Lee Wittmeier, Tyndall, SD trees used for shelterbelts are very hardy for our climate, they still require management from a young age (watering, weeding, fertilizing) to an advanced age (pruning, thinning, and weed tree removal). Weed trees that are commonly found seeded in established shelterbelts include: Common Buckthorn, Sumac, and others. Each tree specifically named in this section will be used in this project to test the viability of mushroom growth on South Dakota shelterbelt trees. Many of these trees can be cultivated or sourced in cities as well. The local foods movement is one that can be profitable and beneficial to communities. Small scale farmers provide a variety of products to consumers from vegetables and fruits to valueadded goods like jellies and maple syrup. Consumers desire locally grown products at a reasonable price and mushrooms are a unique product that can capture their attention by novelty, nutrition, and price. This project will work in conjunction with a local foods producer, Foodtopia Farms, in Toronto (S.D.). This producer serves local counties and the state through the South Dakota Local Foods Cooperative. Marketability and production of mushrooms has been very successful in nearby Minnesota and is promising throughout this state. It is speculated that demand for gourmet mushrooms will be a sustainable venture and allow consumers to have regularly stocked, fresh and locally produced gourmet mushrooms seasonally. There are other smaller-scale options for a home grower as well. Mushroom growing kits are available for a variety of mushroom species. Basically the kit includes mushroom spawn or mycelium that is growing in sawdust or some other growing media. Generally you open the bag and moisten the growing media to help get the mycelium to grow and begin fruiting. In a short time you should have mushrooms growing out of the medium that you can harvest and enjoy. INTERESTED IN THIS SPOT? COURTESY PHOTO place your ad here. Call 665-5884 to place your ad here.

How about “The Marriage Book” by Lisa Grunwald & Stephen Adler? When are you two going to tie the knot? It’s a simple question often asked of starry-eyed couples, the answer of which is complicated and surprisingly defining. Because of marriage’s intricacies, therefore, one could expect that the institution itself would be a common subject for pundits, grumps and romantics throughout history. Take, for instance, Sir Winston Churchill. He was famous for nononsense words and his service to his office, but Churchill’s wife particularly cherished tender love letters — complete with blushing nicknames — that he penned to her while he was away. Oh, and speaking of Brits, you’ll also read about the man who gave away a kingdom for “the woman I love.” Maybe being in the public eye makes ?
