Chapter begins abruptly with flint
and dent types of various colors as "a
leading food crop in many parts of
North America. According to their needs
or fancies Indians and whites undoubt-
cdly directed the evolution of corn
toward groups Of different habits of
growth and color of kernel
Chapter brings us to tho first anthem

corn. In lSi7 James l.. Reid began i'm

Improvement of Blount Prolific, and in
1880 James Riley began the improve
ment of Boone County White. This and
similar work have been a great blessing
to this country.
Chapter Is the story of a boom which
began about 1900 and which did much in
jury and much good to corn improve
mcnt work. The wonderful possibility OF
making plants to order by breeding and
selection having been demonstrated with
chrysanthemums and other plants, the
boom in corn breeding started. Thou
