Book excerpt: "Corn yields can be increased more surely and more cheaply by the use of better seed than in any other way. Seed corn should be selected in the field from stalks which yield best in equal competition with others. It should be of a variety which succeeds well and matures under local conditions. Ears should be saved only from stalks free from disease. Drooping ears which shed rain readly should be selected, and these should be borne on the stalks at a convenient height for husking. In the South, ears which are well protected from insects by a long, tight shuck covering should be chosen. The same day that seed is gathered it should be hung in a dry airy place. One of the best ways to cure seed corn is to hang it from the rafters of a barn or open shed. It should not be allowed to freeze before it is thoroughly dry. After it is well cured it should be stored in a dry place where it will remain secure from mice, rats, birds and insects. Well-cured seed corn will yield a much better crop than seed originally as good but injured through lack of care. Generally speaking, the seed corn that produces the best crop is the cheapest. Farmers are justified in devoting considerable time to selecting and caring for it or in paying good prices if better seed corn is purchased."--Page 2

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, Purdue Extension delivers practical, research-based information that transforms lives and livelihoods. Tailored to the needs of Indiana, its current programs include Agriculture and Natural Resources, Health and Human Sciences, Economic and Community Development, and 4-H Youth Development. However, today's success is built on over a century of visionary hard work and outreach. Scattering the Seeds of Knowledge: The Words and Works of Indiana's Pioneer County Extension Agents chronicles the tales of the first county Extension agents, from 1912 to 1939. Their story brings readers back to a day when Extension was little more than words on paper, when county agents traveled the muddy back roads, stopping at each farm, introducing themselves to the farmer and his family. These Extension women and men had great confidence in the research and the best practices they represented, and a commanding knowledge of the inner workings of farms and rural residents. Most importantly, however, they had a knack with people. In many cases they were given the cold shoulder at first by the farmers they were sent to help. However, through old-fashioned, can-do perseverance and a dogged determination to make a difference in the lives of people, these county Extension agents slowly inched the state forward one farmer at a time. Their story is a history lesson on what agriculture was like at the turn of the twentieth century, and a lesson to us all about how patient outreach and dedicated engagement-backed by proven science from university research-reshaped and modernized Indiana agriculture.
