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.

Download or read book The Testing of Corn for Seed Classic Reprint written by Albert Nash Hume and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Testing of Corn for Seed We believe it would be possible for every ear of corn planted in Illi nois to be tested for vitality. If an ear does'not come to the desired standard, we may discard it, and plant only seed which will grow, and materially increase the stand of our corn crop the coming year. It may seem like a heavy task to germinate three or four kernels of corn from every ear in a bushel, and yet two or three evenings each week, for a few weeks, on the part of only one person, would test enough ears to plant his own crop at least. The kernels could be placed between folds of blotting-paper laid in a moist box, or moistened between two common dinner plates. It is not very difficult to keep track of the ear from which is taken each set of kernels. One kernel should be taken from the butt of the ear, at least one from the middle, and one from the tip. If all the kernels grow, the ear may reasonably be supposed to be good, otherwise it should be discarded.

Download or read book Field Experiments With Corn 1890 Classic Reprint written by G. E. Morrow and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field Experiments With Corn, 1890 Among the many varieties of dent corn tried one or more years, twelve have been tested in 1888, 1889, and 1890, and each has averaged 67 bu. Per acre or more, the largest average yield being 80 bu. Of the yellow varieties, Learning, Fisk, legal tender, Clark's Iroquois, and Riley's favorite are medium maturing, and will be found desirable for central Illinois. Steward's improved is too late for this locality. Mur dock and Edmonds are early maturing, and may be grown farther north. Of white varieties, Champion white pearl or Burr's white, and Clark's 110-day are medium maturing and desirable for central Illinois. Helms improved is almost too late for this locality. The stand of corn has been about 10 per cent. Less than the per cent. Of kernels sprouting under test conditions. Barrenness does not seem to be a variety characteristic, but depends largely upon the season and the thickness of planting. The stalks had many more ears in 1889 than in 1888 and 1890. There were fewer bar ren stalks where corn was planted at the ordinary rate of kernels per acre than at either thicker or thinner planting. When four times as many kernels were planted, one-half the stalks were barren. Without exception the medium maturing varieties (maturing about September 20th) have given each year a higher average yield than either the early or late maturing varieties - from 7 to 20 bu. Higher than the former, and from 2 to 7 bu. Higher than the latter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 262 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.
