It occurs in two general styles of kernel, the one rice-shaped with a pointed end and the other flat with rounded end. Both are small and hard. The flint type is characterized by its hardness of kernel with a rounded top and a small area of soft endosperm.around the embryo completely surrounded by corneous endosperm. The dent type is char acterized by wedged-shaped kernels with an indented top and the soft endo sperm extending to the top with corneous material confined mainly to the sides of the kernel. In the flour or soft maize type the endosperm is entirely of a soft starchy character, In shape and outward appearance it is similar to flint corn but varies in size from not much larger than grains of pop maize to nearly an inch long. Sweet maize is that type in which the endosperm is translucent and horny in appearance, the starch being partially replaced by sugar. In the pod type of maize each grain is covered with a beer, in addition to the ear itself being so covered. Its kernels vary greatly in size and shape.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Corn Is King! Corn: Its Origin, History, Uses, and Abuses, Being the Substance of Addresses As most of you are aware, I enjoyed the distinguished honor of representing the young agricultural giant, Ne braska, at the World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, New Orleans, La., 1884 - 5. When I ac cepted the position tendered me by the president of the United States, as commissioner, I determined to make a point on the great staple product of Nebraska, corn. The first banner I flung to the breeze in government building, had inscribed on its folds, Corn is King. To'go south and claim king for any other soil product than cotton, especially at the Cotton Centennial, was deemed an in tolerable bit of impudence, in nowise orthodox - a broad gauge departure. Cotton, sugar, and tobacco, all elevated their nasal protuberances, saying by actions, which are said to Speak louder than words, How dare you! Min mesota, the state with boundless wheat fields glinted our next door neighbor at the exposition, was to arms in the twinkling of an eye, pressing the superiority of wheat and' invoking the muses to aid her in obliterating our banner inscription. Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, and Dakota set themselves to work manufacturing huge artifi cial ears to eclipse our natural growth of Chester County Mammoth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Corn Plants Their Uses and Ways of Life This little volume aims to present attractively to young people trustworthy information regarding a few of the most important plants in the world. It is believed that the book will be of value also to older readers who seek an elementary knowledge of the subject, and do not object to being addressed on such matters in simple language freed from unnecessary technicalities.

Download or read book Corn and Corn Growing Classic Reprint written by Henry Agard Wallace and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Corn and Corn-Growing The Atlantic Coast farmers, from 1800 to 1840, made a real effort to get high yielding strains of corn. The farm papers of 1819 to 1822 tell of several instances of getting Maha (undoubtedly Omaha Indian) corn from Council Bluffs - now a part of Iowa. This corn was an eight-row soft corn type, and several of the eastern farmers claimed yields of more than 100 bushels to the acre. The Sioux yellow, ten to twelve-row flint corn was introduced from the west by several grow ers, and there were several introductions of a Canadian flint corn. These introductions, together with the local varieties, are probably found to some extent in all of our present-day varieties, and help to explain the heterogeneous nature of our present-day types. The Iowa State Agricultural Society report of 1858 says: A great. Many varieties of corn are cultivated, and it would be hard to tell which is the best, as farmers entertain different Opinions. Most of the varieties were dents, according to the report. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flower-O-the Corn "A Young man," said my Lord Duke to Maurice Raith, "is never the worse for being like his neighbors. He ought to take his tone from his time. Let him be no precisian, no enthusiast, no stander upon punctilio, but rather a man of affairs." Here the Duke paused, and his fingers tapped the folding-chair meditatively. "Once, sir, there was a great lady, very fair and very gracious, who assisted myself with a considerable sum of money. I never found myself any the worse for it. No! not a whit the worse - in pocket, richer. In reputation, well - I had a sword at my side. So, Captain Maurice, you have the figure, you have the dash - as far as mere man may judge, you have the face. Do not by over-niceness miss your chances. Receive it from one who knows. Take your day! Take your day! Man is young but once, remember. The time will come all too soon when nectar and ambrosia shall have lost their relish. Kiss, my lad, while you have kissing favor. For by-and-by fair maids will begin to look over your shoulder at the lad who comes up behind you. Aye, all too soon! All too soon!" So to Captain Maurice Raith (late of my Lord Cutts's regiment) spake his newly-nominated Grace of Marlborough. The allied troops lay on the green braeface just over the Castle of Crevec ur. The Meuse flowed placidly beneath like a river seen in a dream. There were six secretaries writing hard at it in the next room, but for all that my lord was finding time to bestow the advice of experience upon his favorite aide.

Download or read book The Story of Corn and the Westward Migration Classic Reprint written by Eugene Clyde Brooks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Corn and the Westward Migration The struggle of the human race for food has been and still is one of the great factors in the growth of civilization. Histories tell us of the progress of social institutions. Geographies analyze the world's food supply and describe in detail the areas that are most productive. Books on agriculture give us a study of the food plants and the best methods of securing the greatest returns from the land. But none of these texts makes it sufficiently clear to the youth of the country that the improvement in food plants and the productivity of the land are among the greatest factors in the building of a civilization. The purpose of The Story of Corn is to combine certain fundamental principles of geography and agriculture and treat them historically in order that the youth may appreciate the tremendous importance of agriculture in the history of the race. A complete history of agriculture would make a volume too large and too technical for grammar-grade or high-school pupils. Therefore the cereals, with special emphasis on Indian corn, have been chosen as the theme for this book.
