Book excerpt: Excerpt from Funk Farms, Birthplace of Commercial Hybrid Corn: A History of Hybrid Corn At the opening of the twentieth century attention of corn breeders was focused on ear type. In this heyday of what he contemptuously called the ten pretty ears, Mr. Funk was not only the largest commercial seed corn grower but the lead ing critic of contemporary corn selection methods. Mr. Funk early recognized that appearance of an ear of corn was no guarantee of its seed value. Funk Brothers maintained a large exhibit at the St. Louis Louisiana Exposition in 1904 to demon strate that the popular show type of corn was not sound from the farmer's standpoint. With James Reid (developer of Reid's Yellow Dent) Mr. Funk set himself squarely against the then-popular rough starchy corn of late maturity, low vitality and inferior root development that was taking the blue ribbons at corn shows. The result was develop ment of Funk's Utility Type Corn smoother, medium dent, faster growth, firmer and more solid ears. Another decade was to pass before farmers generally, following the lead of experiment stations and farm bureaus, endorsed the utility ear. Meanwhile Gene Funk had gone on to newer fields. He abandoned ordinary ear selection entirely to develop on a commercial scale a new system of corn improvement. For, in disapproving the value of the Ten Pretty Ears, Mr. Funk repudiated the whole principle of selection simply from either the ear or plant. The trouble with seed selection, he found, was that while the ear itself came from a good plant and carried desirable characters it would not reproduce those characters unless fertilized by pollen from equally desirable plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State Agricultural Experiment Stations have played a fundamental role in the development of science and agriculture in the United States. From their inception in 1887, the experiment stations have attempted to wed basic research with practical application and have helped institutionalize a utilitarian approach to agricultural science. Agricultural research and the new technology it helped to generate were major factors in the transformation of U.S. agriculture into a high technology, mechanized, science-based industry. Moreover, the experiment stations, as the first large-scale, publicly supported scientific research institutions in the United States, have also long been models for scientific institutions both here and abroad. Compiled for the 1987 centennial of the State Agricultural Experiment Stations, this volume critically examines past performance, current issues, and future directions for public agricultural research in the United States. Each of the authors, drawn from disciplines as diverse as philosophy and agronomy, focuses on a central concern for the scientific enterprise. Issues include priority setting, maintaining and promoting disciplinary and interdisciplinary effectiveness, supporting higher education for agriculture, and efficacious dissemination of research findings. By setting these issues in their historical and philosophical context, the volume suggests new approaches for meeting the continuing challenge to achieve equity, efficiency, sustainability, flexibility, conservation, and consistency with other objectives of U.S. society.
