<p><a name="Chinese+Ring-necked+Pheasant+State+Bird+of+South+Dakota"></a><H3>Chinese Ring-necked Pheasant<br /> State Bird of South Dakota</H3></p>
<p>Chinese Ring-necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) is the State Bird of South Dakota.</p>
<p>According to the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection:</p>
<blockquote><p>The ring-necked pheasant was introduced in the United States nearly two centuries ago, but its first successful introduction was in 1881 in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Imported from its native range in Asia and China, today&#8217;s pheasant is actually a hybrid, resulting from crossbreeding between the English, Mongolian, Chinese, and Japanese varieties.
</p></blockquote>
<p>The Chinese ring-necked pheasant, celebrated its 100th anniversary in the state of South Dakota in 2008. The term &#8220;Chinese ring-necked&#8221; is not a reference to a particular subspecies. The term refers to the colloquial name commonly given to the wild pheasants. A native of Asia, pheasants came to South Dakota in 1908 when three Spink County farmers released three pairs of the birds, according to The South Dakota State Historical Society.</p>

State tree nut&#8211;black walnut.<br />
10.100. The nut produced by the black walnut tree (Juglans nigra) known as the &#8220;Eastern Black Walnut&#8221;, is selected for and shall be known as the official tree nut of the state of Missouri.</p>
<p>According to the Missouri Secretary of State:</p>
<blockquote><p>The nut produced by the black walnut tree (Juglans nigra), known as the eastern black walnut, became the state tree nut on July 9, 1990. The nut has a variety of uses. The meat is used in ice cream, baked goods and candies. The shell provides the soft grit abrasive used in metal cleaning and polishing and oil well drilling, and is also used in paint products and as a filler in dynamite.</p></blockquote>

<a name="Recipe+courtesy+of+the+Hammons+Product+Company."></a><h4>Recipe courtesy of the Hammons Product Company.</h4>
<p><em>In 1946, Ralph Hammons couldn’t keep enough black walnuts on his grocery store shelves in the little town of Stockton, Missouri. He invested in a cracking machine and began buying wild nuts from the hard-working Ozarks people who gathered them each fall. Hammon Walnuts are now the world leading supplier of Black Walnuts</em></p>

<p>Granita is an Italian version of ice or sorbet, but with large, crunch crytals. It’s very easy and great for a simple dessert. We’ve given the traditional recipe an update by freezing the fruit blend in a zip top plastic bag instead of in a shallow pan. Just squeeze the bag several times during the freezing process to break up the large ice crystals.</p>
<p>According to the Washington Red Raspberry Commission:</p>
<blockquote><p>Washington red raspberries are delicious and nutritious, packed full of ellagic acid, vitamins, antioxidants and fiber, and produced on some of the most beautiful farmland in the United States. <strong>Washington accounts for nearly 95 percent of the U.S. production of processed red raspberries</strong>, at about 70,000,000 pounds per year.</p></blockquote>

<p>The Idaho potato is the official state vegetable of the state of Idaho.</p>
<p>From Aristocrat in Burlap:</p>
<blockquote><p>In certain ways, the mighty Snake River is the mother of Idaho&#8217;s potato industry. It has, through the centuries, transported and deposited much of the silt that farmers cultivate today in lower-lying fields along the river course. It provides much of the water that makes possible the growing of a plant that needs soil moisture of 80 percent for ideal growth. As it plunges a mile downward in elevation along its course, the Snake generates electrical energy that makes pumping from deep wells possible, and most of the potato-growing areas in the state lie contiguous to the Snake River Valley as it twists its way in a 550-mile arc across southern Idaho. </p></blockquote>
<p><a name="Ingredients+for+the+Idaho+Potato+Casserole%3A"></a><H3>Ingredients for the Idaho Potato Casserole:</H3></p>

<p>According to the New York State Library:</p>
<blockquote><p> The apple was adopted as the State fruit in 1976. Apples are sweet and crisp, and many varieties are grown in New York.<BR><BR clear= left></p>
<p>Apples were introduced in the 1600s by European settlers who brought seeds to New York. Dried apples were a staple for colonists and hard apple cider was a popular drink.</p></blockquote>
<p>In addition to New York, the following states have also designated the apple, or a specific apple variety as their state fruit: Minnesota, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia.</p>

There are 333 Illinois farms that grow popcorn on 47,000 acres, making Illinois the third largest grower of the product.<BR><BR></p>
<p>Corn probably originated in Mexico about 5,000 years ago. It is estimated that Native Americans in Illinois started growing corn about 100 A.D.<BR><BR></p>
<p>Popcorn pops because its kernel contains a small drop of water that suddenly expands when exposed to high heat. The kernel turns inside-out as it explodes.<BR><BR></p>
<p><strong>The Symbol</strong><br />
Second and third grade students and their teacher, Fran Hollister, at Cunningham Elementary in Joliet proposed popcorn as the official State Snackfood of Illinois, and it was sponsored by State Senator Larry Walsh. The Official Illinois Snackfood was voted a State Symbol in 2003.</p></blockquote>
