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.

This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois Corn Performance Tests, 1937 This shift to hybrid corn means that many farmers who formerly selected their seed from fields of open-pollinated corn on their own farms are now depending on purchased seed, and they are finding a large number of hybrids on the market from which to choose, many of which are good, some of which are definitely superior to the better open-pollinated varieties, and still others of which are no better than the open-pollinated varieties. The field tests reported herein have therefore been made in order to help the farmer to choose those strains of corn that have outstanding merit, and to help the producer in his efforts to develop such strains. They are a part of a corn-improvement program conducted in coopera tion with the Division of Cereal Creps and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, and the Illinois State Natural History Survey. The data for the three previous years of these tests are reported in Bulletins 411, 427, and 429 of this Station.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crossed Sweet Corn More than fifty years ago, William J. Beal of the Michigan Agricultural College proposed a method for crossing field corn seed by planting two different varieties in the same field in alternating rows and pulling out all the tassels of one variety before pollen was shed. It was found that such crossed seed had a considerable advantage from hybrid vigor. The increased growth resulting from crossing somewhat unrelated types had long been noted and used in animal breeding. Mules, the sterile hybrid of the horse and ass, crossbred swine, sheep and cattle had. A recognized place in animal production.

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.
