    With long work days and fully-booked nights, its no surprise thatsometimes a solid eight hours ofsleep is just not an option formany. According to the NationalSleep Foundations 2012 Sleep inAmerica poll, about one in ten

    Americans say they are likely tofall asleep at an inappropriatetime like during a work meet-ing. With some positions, fallingasleep at inopportune times issimply embarrassing, but in otherlines of work, falling asleep is verydangerous. Try these tips fromTOPS Club, Inc. (Take OffPounds Sensibly), the nonprofitweight-loss support organization,to relieve fatigue and stay produc-tive.

    Get up and goStudies from the American

    Heart Association say that move-ment increases the flow of blood tothe brain, which, in turn, helps

    you feel more alert. Incorporatingmore activity into your day cangive you a mood boost, too. A studyof 210 UK workers, most of themwith sedentary jobs, found that ex-ercising during the workday madethem feel more forgiving of their

    coworkers mistakes and more con-fident in their own abilities, aswell as increased their work per-formance. Take a short walk out-side the office, or inside if theweather isnt cooperating, andtake the stairs instead of the ele-vator. Stand while talking on thetelephone, and take regularbreaks for stretching.

    journal Neuron found that proteinstimulates orexin cells in thebrain, which send electrical im-pulses that keep us alert andawake. A carbohydrate-rich snack,on the other hand, boosts blood

    Preventing BERAs The Garden Gate closes forother season we want to wishu a bountiful harvest from yourrden and know you will be plan-ng next years garden before theost finishes the season for 2013. you plan for next year, here arefew suggestions that may helpu prevent, or at least diminish,mato blossom end rot (BER) for14.There are several ways you canke precautions for next year'sop! Prevention starts this Fallth soil preparation and moves

    ght into seedling preparation inrly Spring.Carefully harden off young

    edlings gradually to protectem from extreme temperaturesd conditions.Select a planting area withod drainage.Avoid setting out plants toorly in the season, which can ex-se them to cold temperaturesd cold soil. Allow soil to warmfore planting. Work in plenty of compost andganic matter into the soil beforeanting, so that the plants rootstem has a better chance toow strong and deep. This can bene in the fall after you have

    eaned up all the plant material,if it is disease free, worked it

    to the soil.If you had to water extensivelyis season it may be helpful tour soil to add lime to all yourrden soil to reduce the salinityused by well water in this re-on.Add quick-release lime (NOT

    Quick-lime ) but HorticultureLime, a mixture of calcium carbon-ate and magnesium carbonate; orGypsum, calcium sulphate) whenplanting tomatoes so that theresplenty of calcium in the soil andits absorbed quickly. Tomatoesgrow best when the soil pH isabout 6.5.

    Keep your tomatoes watersupply even throughout the sea-son so that calcium uptake is reg-ular. Tomatoes need 1-3 inches ofwater a week. They perform bestwhen watered deeply a couple oftimes a week rather than superfi-cially every day.

    Mulch plants once established

    to maintain moisture levels.Once blossoms emerge, apply

    tomato fertilizer that is high inphosphorus (the second number ina fertilizers three-number series),like 4-12-4 or 5-20-5. Too much ni-trogen (the first number) or largeamounts of fresh manure can pre-vent calcium uptake. Too much ni-trogen also increases foliage at theexpense of fruit.

    Cultivate carefully aroundtomato plants to avoid damagingroot systems. Try not to dig morethan an inch or two deep aroundplants. Youth is like spring, an over

    praised season more remarkablefor biting winds than genialbreezes. Autumn is the mellowerseason, and what we lose in flow-ers we more than gain in fruits.~Samuel ButlerSubmitted by Karen Englehart,Master Gardener, SDSU Coopera-tive Extension Service

    zing UpUnlike women, when farmersd ranchers meet each other fore first time, they look each otherthe eye, say Hi, and shakends. Thats it. Theres no com-ring each others outfits, hair,oes, fingernails, thighs, or bodyoportions.Men dont care about anotherys physical appearance, but

    hen theyre looking at anotherans set of corrals, hay fields,

    crops, cattle, tractors and othermachinery, and anything pertain-ing to another mans hay bales,thats a whole different deal. Mensize each other up based on eachothers work and success, and forfarmers and ranchers its allthings farm or ranch-related.

    Farmer/rancher-style sizing upcan occur from afar, such as fromthe highway driving by cattle

    grazing in pastures or fields brim-ming with a crop. When farmersand ranchers drive interstate incrop and cattle country, the lastthing theyre focused on is theroad. Their eyes bounce aroundlike a pinball from one side of thehighway to the other looking atthe work of farms and ranches inpassing. If you dont believe me,just ask their wives.

    For men whose livelihood is inagriculture, traveling into a differ-ent agricultural region fascinatesthem. They appear to be evaluat-ing another mans windrowing,combining, stewardship practices,

    crops, or cattle, but their wives arenever quite sure which one. Uponentering into a region growingcompletely different kinds of cropsor livestock breeds, ag men alsotry to figure out another farmer orranchers logic, system, or philos-ophy on something according towhat he sees. Sometimes thesemen will try to philosophize withtheir wives, who are either oblivi-

    ous to such observations, not con-cerned, or both, about a puzzlingfarming or ranching scene. A pop-ular question in our vehicle is,Why do you suppose they (farm-ers/ranchers) (fill in the blank)?

    Sizing up can also take placewhile reading about agriculturalplaces featured in magazines andnewspapers or while visiting an-other farm or ranch. With either ofthese two observation methods, awhole lot of mental absorption isgoing on. Since its rare that farm-ers and ranchers get to observeother operations, visiting someoneelses place is a full-on taking-it-all-in kind of thing. Getting awayfrom the farm or ranch for morethan 12 hours is rare for families

    in agriculture, so an opportunityto see another mans farm/ranch iswhat youd call eye candy to themen who make their living in agri-culture. Most farmers and ranch-ers consider seeing anything thatreminds them of their work andtheir own place their favorite partof any family vacation.

    The mental notes taken on an-other mans pastures, outbuild-ings, machinery, livestock feedingpractices, storage systems, water-ing systems, or whatever, are filedaway for mulling later. The infor-mation gets analyzed during amans daily pondering time ormost likely on a long drive homewhile the whole family sleeps.

    Men in agriculture love to seehow other farms/ranches operateand size up other places for reas-surance purposes regarding theirown operation because they allwork hard to run their place as ef-ficiently as possible, provide ahigh quality product, and to gettheir own farm or ranch looking intop shape. The conclusion of mostfarmers and ranchers once theyvereturned home is a renewed feel-ing of pride in their work, crops,livestock, but more importantly,having somebody else drive nexttime so they can look at all thefarms and ranches.

    Have you had someone ask you a question thathey know the answer? We maybe all have hadat some time. It might be just for something to

    or it might be to find out how you are going to certain subject or maybe how you feel on som

    issue. Jesus was asked questions along the waperson knew the answer. In Luke chapter 10:2what is referred to as the story of the Good Sano way is Jesus telling this lawyer that if you

    this man, robbed and beaten and trouble, yinherit eternal life. But this was the questi

    lawyer asked Jesus and he answered his own qLove the Lord your God with all your heart a

    your soul and with all you strength and with aand Love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus s

    right. When Christ is first in our lives and saour lives we have eternal life with Him. This very well educated in the law and understooreally didnt understand Christs love and co

    If the lawyer would have walked away thenwe would not have the story of the Good Sama

    School may have started butmmer is still here! Its been aorcher this week. The air condi-ner works overtime and keepingerything hydrated is a full timeb. Local schools started thiseek and school buildings withoutr conditioning have got to be re-y uncomfortable. The radio re-rted that Pierre kids were sentme early on Monday because ofe heat and will probably be re-ased early the rest of this week.wouldnt be surprised if severalher schools do the same.It was pretty hot in Pierre lasteek. After the Executive Boardeeting Monday afternoon, I gotmy car parked in front of the

    apitol building and the car ther-ometer registered 106 degrees! Ipt the AC on high all the wayck to the ranch.It was blistering hot Tuesdayorning when Eudell Larson ands son went antelope huntingre. They have archery tags and

    e have antelope. A big buck ante-

    pe hangs out near our mailboxd there are a dozen or moreher antelope here. Eudell ands son came Monday night and alle antelope disappeared Tuesdayorning so the hunters left emptynded that evening. The antelopeve returned so hopefully the

    unters will too!The creek finally dried up

    enough to cut so Reub started hay-ing the slough grass. He got boththe rake and the baler stuck Tues-day. Eudell was here to pull himout the first time and Casey pulledhim out the second time. Reub andCasey moved the haying machin-ery to Gordon Helms alfalfa fieldwest of Prairie City on Wednesdayand put up enough square bales toget us through lambing nextspring. Nothing smells sweeterthan freshly cut alfalfa.

    The fire trucks got called to ahayfield fire southeast of PrairieCity Wednesday. So far, weve hadenough moisture that we haventhad many fires around here, butright now there are over fiftymajor fires raging across westernUnited States.

    Ive been getting questionsabout my bill that passed to allowthe killing of wolves in SouthDakota. The law took effect onJuly 1st, but until USFW takesthe wolf off the EndangeredSpecies list in the lower 48 states,

    its still illegal to kill a wolf inwestern South Dakota. USFWplans to remove the wolf from theEndangered Species list and thecomment period remains openuntil September 11, so if youhavent filed your comment yetyou still can. Go to the federalrulemaking site at www.regula-tions.gov and submit your com-

    ment on the Gray Wolf: DocketNo.[FWS-HQ-ES_2013-0073]

    I joined a dozen other SouthDakota legislators at the CommonCore conference in Rapid City Sat-urday to learn more about theCommon Core curricula that iscoming to us from the federal gov-ernment. What we heard is reallyconcerning. 45 states haveadopted the Common Core na-tional standards, and they arebeing implemented this year. Whydid they agree to this? Because theObama administration had $4.35billion of Race to the Top federalfunds, and states had to adopt"college-and-career ready stan-dards" if they wanted to be eligibleto compete for those funds. Onlyfour states turned down the fed-eral money to implement federalstandards that will result in ahuge expense to taxpayers in thefuture and cause the dumbingdown of our educational system.Educators from both the right andthe left oppose Common Core. To

    understand why, google CommonCore for a wealth of information.A couple years ago Vic Weyrich
