Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book encompasses the history and science of corn production in the United States, focusing on how to increase yield and decrease labor. Prior to 1910, the average corn yield was below 28 bushels an acre, and no state averaged over 54. However, with more than 100 bushels per acre having been produced in practically every section of the United States, yields can be doubled and the author believes that doubling our acre yield of corn is so important that it should be the focus of corn clubs, associations, breeders, and growers. This book is a collaborative effort between the author and the US Department of Agriculture and the States Relations Service. It provides the necessary scientific knowledge and practical methods to achieve these goals, and includes illustrations of 52 lantern slides used by the author to educate farmers and extension lecturers on the subject. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from Illustrated Lecture on Corn Production

For no 10-year period has the corn yield of the United View States exceeded 28 bushels per acre. No State has averaged for any year over 54 bushels per acre, yet in practically every section of the United States yields of more than 100 bushels have been produced. As States and as a Nation too much land is being used and much more labor is being performed in producing the corn crop than is necessary. The demand con trols the quantity that should be grown. To meet demands the producers of the United States during the years previous to 1910 averaged in round numbers bushels of corn yearly. In producing this quantity a little more than acres have yearly been devoted to corn growing.

The possibility of doubling our acre yield of corn is so good and its accomplishment of such tremendous importance that school, State, National, and independent organizations of corn clubs and associations of com breeders and corn growers have centered their interests in this direction and have become active in a way that is certain to lead to success. Such clubs and associations are especially fitted for this most important work. By bringing together yearly the experiences of many mem bers, and continuing their records indefinitely, corn growers may each year profit by all past experiences and results.
