The Effect Of Limited Moisture Supply At Various Stages Of Growth On The Development And Production Of Hybrid Corn, Ralph E. Campbell
The Effect Of Limited Moisture Supply At Various Stages Of Growth On The Development And Production Of Hybrid Corn, Ralph E. Campbell
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Corn occupies from 25 to 30 percent of the crop land harvested in the United States. In recent years the acreage devoted to corn in this country has been decidedly greater than that devoted to any other cultivated crop. In 1944 its dollar value exceeded the combined values of wheat, barley, rye, grain sorghums, and cotton.
Although South Dakota lies on the northwestern fringe of the corn belt, the corn crop is one of the most important in that state. Corn production in that area is somewhat unstable because of drought. Corn often fails to reach full maturity before the …

Bulletin No. 66 - Corn Experiments, Luther Foster, Lewis A. Merrill
UAES Bulletins
A number of varieties of flint and dent corns have been successfully grown at the Experiment Station for the past ten years. A sufficiently large number of kinds have been under test to prove beyond question that all of the best flint varieties, the smaller dents and the semi-dents will fully mature in the locality of the Experiment Station, the extreme northern portion of the State; but the climatic conditions cannot be considered as especially favorable to corn growing, the seasons being rather too short and the general temperature too low for the medium and larger dents to be successfully …

Bulletin No. 36 - Relative Value Of Corn And Oats For Horses, A. A. Mills
UAES Bulletins
This Bulletin reports the continuation of the study of the best nutritive ratio for horses under moderate work. The experiment was so arranged that a direct comparison could be made between oats and corn as the principal grain ration. The work was planned by Prof. J. W. Sanborn, who was then Director of the Station.
Bulletin No. 34 - Relative Value Of Wheat, Peas, Corn And Barley In The Production Of Pork, A. A. Mills
Bulletin No. 34 - Relative Value Of Wheat, Peas, Corn And Barley In The Production Of Pork, A. A. Mills
UAES Bulletins
This bulletin treats of the use of wheat, peas, corn, and barley when mixed with bran and fed to pigs, the idea being to see if, by using one-half bran, the above grains could not be fed with profit, and also to test the relative value of the mixtures.
