The Improvement of Corn
By A. M. Rogers.

being better bred and having stronger
vitality, the kernels that produced the
worthless ears may have been inbred
or fortified from some stalks which
weakened their vitality. If we could
locate all the stalks in the field that
produced the good ears, we would
find that the great majority OF them
were ears on an average as good as
it is. The same thing would hold true
in the case of the parents of the poor
ears. Can we do anything to bring the
poor ears up to the standard of the
good ear? We can; but in order to do
this we must know and control both
parents and this can be done by ar
ranging our breeding block. In other
words, we must mate the particular
ears of corn the characteristics OF
which we wish to establish or perpetu-
ate. The following is very COM
plete method of arranging the breed
ing plot: We may select two ears OF
corn which will have as nearly as pos
sible the same characteristic. These
are then planted in alternate rows.
One ear is planted in the odd rows,
one, three, five, ETC., to nineteen; the
other ear is planted in the even rows,
two, four, six, etc. to twenty. This
will give two hundred hills from each
ear of corn making our breeding block
twenty hills each way-four hundred
hills from the two ears. At the time
when the tassels begin to appear, go
through and carefully remove the tas-
sells from either all of the corn or
from all the odd rows. This should be
repeated every other day as fast as
the tasselj appear, until all have been
removed. If this is done thoroughly
the silks on the detasseled rows will
be fortified from the pollen of the
other rows In other words the de-
tasseled rows are the female, and the
other rows that have the tassels left
on to produce the pollen is the male.
1t is very important when detasseling
the female rows to also detassel any
weak or barren stalks in the male row
to prevent their producing pollen. This
will also prevent inbreeding and will
give US a good record of both parents. |
We select our seed corn from the de-
.asseled rows for our next years
planting.
The ears from the male rows should
Dc discarded. To plant them they
would show very weak vitality, as
hey were all inbred. One could have
| number of these plots and mate the
ears from the different plots for the
lext years breeding, and it will be re-
narkable to see the improvement that
AN be made in the corn. This is a
rood plan for one who wishes to make
/ speciality in high bred seed corn,
,ut if we don't care to go that far
With it we can select our best ears by
est, shell and thoroughly mix the
,ernels and plant on one side of our
ield and go through at tasseling time
md pull out all the worthless stalks
o prevent them from producing pol
en-. In this way we could make a
improvement in our corn.
his can be easily done and will mean
whole lot.

In this article / will try to poin
out the improvements that can b
made in breeding corn. We have hun
dreds and even thousands of stool
breeders in the United States wht
have made wonderful advancement
but with very few exceptions we have
not any corn breeders. Yet the corr
crop is the basis of our agriculture.
believe that there is even greater neet
of corn breeders than of stock breed
ers, since the seed corn cannot be
imported with safety from one state
to another, nor even one part of the
same state to another part, and for
that reason it is very necessary that
corn should be bred in the vicinity
where it is to be grown to obtain the
best results. We must know both par
entage in our corn as well as in our
stock if we are to make any progress
towards advancement.
The pollen from the tassels of the
stalks, as we know, is the male part
of the corn, and the silks from the
kernel is the female. When we select
q good ear of corn from our corn field
we have simply selected good female
ear. The kernels on the ear may have
cen fortified by the pollen from the
worst scrubs in the field. We all know
that such a method could never give
good results with our stock, neither
can it give good results with corn.
All the stalks in our corn field, wheth
err good or bad, will have tassels and
ey furnish 40 to so million grains
of pollen to fertilize the silks from
the kernels of the corn, and every
kernel has a silk. Thus an ear of
corn that contains 800 kernels will
have 800 silks, and it just takes one
grain of pollen to fertilize each kerr
mel. Therefore, we will have lots of
pollen to spare, and if they came from
worthless stalks they will do lots of
harm in fertilizing the kernels of our
good ears. In all the experimenting
at the Ames Farming School of Iowa,
where they gathered the seed corn
from the farmers and planted three
kernels in hill in separate rows in
order to keep perfect record, diff
erence in the yield from 80 to so
bushels to the acre was always shown.
Some would show more broken stalks,
While others would show more barren
stalks, and some produced more nub-
bins. In lots of cases the product of
/ single hill would be good ear, a
lad ear and little nubbin. Now these
Ill came from the same ear of corn

Inference? Some one will say, one
rot the start of the other, which
aused it to produce the bad ear and
title nubbin. Why didn't the kernel
hat produced the bad ear and little
lubbin get the same start? From the
ime they were planted there was no
.ood reason why they contained this
vide variation as far as the soil, eli
