Description Of The Corn Plant, Ralph E. Johnston, George H. Valentine
Description Of The Corn Plant, Ralph E. Johnston, George H. Valentine
SDSU Extension Circulars
Before discussing the methods of the culture of corn we must know something of the plant itself. We must, in fact, be intimately acquainted with the plant and all its parts, their structure and something of the functions they perform. The method of growth must also be known in order to develop the desirable characters and to gradually eliminate the more undesirable characters. This circular is divided into dive divisions. Each division takes up a part of the corn plant and describes it in detail.

Corn Families Of South Dakota, A.N. Hume
Corn Families Of South Dakota, A.N. Hume
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
Summary
1. It is submitted as an expedient of corn breeding, that the mother-ears selected for starting a breeding plot should not only be as numerous as practicable but should also represent as many sources as practicable from among those likely to excel in qualities desired. Page 121.
For the same reason mother-ears should be systematically introduced into the detasseled rows of the breeding plot in succeeding seasons from stocks of other corn breeders and other sources where excellent strains are likely to be found. Page 121.
2. It is submitted as another expedient of corn breeding that high yielding …
Yields From Two Systems Of Corn Breeding, A.N. Hume
Yields From Two Systems Of Corn Breeding, A.N. Hume
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
Beginning with 1911, and continuing throughout the even cropping seasons following, South Dakota Experiment Station, Agronomy Department has conducted two systems If corn breeding by ear-to-row selection. During the seasons wherein these breeding-plots have been conducted, the actual carrying out of field work and of seed selection has been participated in by all members of Agronomy Department Crops Division. These systems of corn breeding were installed partly with the idea that they might produce comparative results in the form of ear-row-yields which would be helpful in defining a practical corn breeding system, which could be recommended to farmers as superior …
Corn Silage For Beef Production, J.W. Wilson, B.L. Thompson
Corn Silage For Beef Production, J.W. Wilson, B.L. Thompson
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
The object of this experiment was to ascertain the feeding value of silage made from corn cut at different stages of growth. In other feeding trials made at this Station it has been shown that corn silage when fed alone without other supplementary feeds produces very satisfactory gains and at a comparatively low cost. Sometimes corn does not mature or is frosted before being put into the silo. These feeding trials were conducted to determine the feed value of corn silage for steers when made under the following conditions:
1. When in the blister or milk stage.
2. When in …
Corn Culture In South Dakota, Manley Champlin, G. Winright
Corn Culture In South Dakota, Manley Champlin, G. Winright
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
Summary
1.
Corn was first cultivated by white people in the colony of Virginia in 1608, and has increased in importance until it now ranks first in value among all grain crops in the United States and in South Dakota
2. South Dakota is peculiarly adapted to supply seed corn to the states north and west. These states grow corn for roughage every year, but as a rule do not produce seed for their own use.
3. The production of corn in South Dakota may be increased by the more general use of adapted varieties. Still further improvement may be …
Selecting And Breeding Corn For Protein And Oil In South Dakota, A..N. Hume, A. N., Champlin, M. And Loomis, H., Manley Champlin, Howard Loomis
Selecting And Breeding Corn For Protein And Oil In South Dakota, A..N. Hume, A. N., Champlin, M. And Loomis, H., Manley Champlin, Howard Loomis
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
Since the year 1910, the South Dakota Experiment Station, Agronomy Department, has been developing four separate strains of Minnesota 13 corn. These may be grouped into two pairs of strains, the first pair being high protein and low protein and the second pair high oil and low oil. The selection and breeding of these several strains has been carried out in pursuance of a project which was started previous to the organization of the present Agronomy Department, by the then Agronomists, Mr. 0. Willis and Mr. W. L. Burlison. The object of the project as originated, according to the records, …

Corn, Clifford Willis, H.B. Potter
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
The object pf the present bulletin is to report the progress; of work which has been done at this Station for the past five years in corn; also to consider the losses, their causes, and the means in use today to prevent such losses as the years go by. During this period, the Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture carried on this work in collaboration with this Department. The production of a large amount of good corn during any given season does not depend upon any one factor. It depends upon a great number of considerations, the …
Feeding Wheat To Hogs, E.C. Chilcott
Feeding Wheat To Hogs, E.C. Chilcott
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
This experiment was undertaken to answer the following questions:
1. Can the farmers of this state realize more from their wheat by feeding it to hogs, then by selling at present prices of for wheats and hogs?
2. Can wheat be profitability fed without some other food to form a balanced ration?
3. Will it pay to grind wheat as food for hogs?
4. How does wheat compare with corn and peas as food for hogs?
5. How does the quality of pork made from wheat compare with that made from corn, peas, and mixed food?
6. How does the …

Corn, L. Foster
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
The corn experiment has been in progress for three year. It was originally made to determine if corn can be successfully grown in this section of the state. Incident to the work comes first, variety tests; second, the corn growing season; third, methods of planting and cultivation. In 1885, my first season in Dakota, the total acreage of corn in Brookings county was very small, probably not five percent of the whole crop The patches planted that year with the exception of a few on the highest points, were killed by a frost the last of June. The general belief …

Corn, L. Forster
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
The corn experiment embraced a set of thirty-nine plats, each containing sixty rows; twenty-four hills in length. Thirty-three of these plants were planted with different varieties of corn, eighteen of dent and fifteen of flint; the rest being used for experiments in deep and shallow cultivation. On the first thirty-three plats the planting began on the seventh and eighth days of May. Two rows of each plat were planted every day for thirty consecutive working days. It may/ perhaps, be unnecessary to state that these daily plantings were made with the object of determining the corn growing season, when germination …
