 URBANA, ILLINOIS, SEPTEMBER, 1908 
 
SUMMARY OF BULLETIN No. 128 
 
 i.. The results of ten years experiments in breeding corn to 
 modify the composition of the grain and thereby adapting it to 
 various special purposes are here reported. 
 
 2. Starting with a variety of average composition, it has been 
 possible by selection and breeding, in ten generations : ( I ) to in- 
 crease the average protein content from 10.92 to 14.26 percent; 
 (2) to decrease the average protein content from 10.92 to 8.64 
 percent; (3) to increase the average oil content from 4.70 to 7.37 
 percent; (4) to decrease the average oil content from 4.70 to 2.66 
 percent. In other words, out of a single variety of corn two strains 
 have been developed of which one is now almost twice as rich in 
 protein as the other, and two other strains have been developed, one 
 of which is now nearly three times as rich in oil as the other.

 3. Variations among individual ears have been found ranging 
 in protein content from 6.13 percent in the low-protein strain, to 
 17.79 percent in the high-protein strain, and in oil content from 
 i. 60 percent in the low-oil strain to 8.59 percent in the high oil 
 strain. Page 489. 
 
 4. Climatic conditions exert, in certain years, a marked effect 
 upon the composition of the corn crop as regards its protein, oil, 
 and starch content. Page 469. 
 
 5. Altering the composition of the grain has produced no very 
 marked effect upon the composition of other parts of the corn 
 plant. Page 476. 
 
 6. Continued selection appears to have induced a certain cor- 
 relation between protein and oil content. Page 483. 
 
 7. Selection for the composition of the grain has resulted in 
 characteristic types of kernel. Page 484: 
 
 8. Perceptible modifications in the type of ear have likewise 
 been wrought. Page 485. 
 
 9. Selection for high-protein is evidently accompanied by a re- 
 duction in yield. In the other strains the yields for the most part 
 have been maintained in spite of the rigorous selection for the spe- 
 cial chemical characteristics. Page 485. 
 
 10. The detailed plot records of each of the four strains and 
 the analytical results of nearly 5000 individual ears which have 
 been analyzed during the ten years' work are placed on record in 
 the appendix to this bulletin in such arrangement that the maternal 
 pedigree record of every ear is shown. Page 490.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
 BY CYRIL G. HOPKINS, CHIEF IN AGRONOMY 
 
 In 1896 the Illinois Experiment Station began the improvement of corn by 
 varying the composition of the grain through selection and breeding. The results 
 of the first two years of these investigations were published in Bulletin No. 55 
 "Improvement in the Chemical Composition of the Corn Kernel." This same work 
 has been carried on continuously since that time, and although several publica- 
 tions have been issued in the meantime bearing upon different phases of the 
 subject of corn improvement as it has been developed, including Bulletins 82, 87, 
 100, and 119, there has, however, been no complete report published of the results 
 obtained in the progress of this original line of work described in Bulletin 
 No. 55. 
 
 It is the present purpose therefore to present the results which have been ob- 
 tained, in the first ten generations, in improvement in composition in various di- 
 rections, namely, for high protein, for low protein, for high oil and for low oil, 
 of the single variety of corn from which these four different strains have been 
 produced, and which is known as "Illinois" corn. 
 
 Since the discovery of the possibility of improving corn for special adaptation 
 and the general recognition of its importance, this Station has extended its 
 work to other standard varieties of corn best adapted to different sections of the 
 state, applying the methods and principles worked out in the original experi- 
 ments with the "Illinois" variety. This work of improving the other standard 
 varieties both for yield and for special adaptation is being carried on largely in 
 co-operation with seed corn breeders of the state. A large amount of data re- 
 lating to this later work has already accumulated, but it is proposed to reserve 
 this for future publication rather than to attempt to cover in this report all of 
 the corn breeding work now in progress believing that such a division of the 
 subject will allow a clearer presentation. 
 
 Inasmuch as the editions of Bulletins 53 and 55 are already exhausted and 
 the demand for the information contained therein is still unsatisfied, it is pro- 
 posed to make the nature of this report as complete a presentation of the in- 
 vestigation as is possible without making too great repetition of material al- 
 ready published. 
 
 For several years Professor Louie H. Smith has been largely responsible 
 for the conduct of these investigations, valuable assistance having also been ren- 
 dered during recent years by Doctor E. M. East, now agronomist at the Con- 
 necticut Experiment Station, Mr. R. W. Stark, now chief chemist for the Cuban 
 Experiment Station, Mr. H. H. Love, and Mr. C. H. Myers. 
 
TEN GENERATIONS OF CORN BREEDING 
 
 BY LOUIE H. SMITH, ASSISTANT CHIEF IN PLANT BREEDING 
 
 IMPORTANCE OF CORN IMPROVEMENT 
 
 Aside from the purely scientific interest attached to this work, the 
 practical importance of improvement of corn to adapt it for special 
 purposes as well as for increased yield is now becoming generally 
 recognized. The significance of improving the chemical composi- 
 tion of corn has already been pointed out in Bulletins 55, 82, 87, 
 and 100 of the Illinois Experiment Station, and it is scarcely neces- 
 sary to dwell upon this phase of the subject further than to refer 
 briefly to some of the demands for corn improved along these par- 
 ticular lines. 
 
 No other crop is made to serve such a variety of purposes as 
 corn, and in consideration of these many different uses is suggested 
 the question of special adaptation. 
 
 Purpose of increasing the protein. In the nutrition of man and 
 beast protein is the most expensive nutrient. Of all of our Ameri- 
 can food stuffs corn is the cheapest, because of its economical pro- 
 duction. But because corn does not contain sufficient protein for 
 most purposes of feeding, it must be re-inforced by other more ex- 
 pensive food stuffs in order to obtain the proper ratio of this im- 
 portant nutrient. It is from these considerations that farmers, and 
 especially stock feeders, recognize the importance of breeding corn 
 for increase of protein content. 
 
 Purpose of decreasing the protein. On the other hand, there 
 is a demand from the manufacturers of those products which are 
 derived from the starch of corn such as glucose, gum, dextrine, 
 syrup, and alcohol, for a corn having a large proportion of car- 
 bohydrates and not so rich in protein. The practical effect of de- 
 creasing the percent of protein is to increase the percent of starch; 
 therefore, for such purposes there should be a place on the market 
 for corn which is bred for decrease of protein content. 
 
 Purpose of increasing the oil. The oil of corn has in recent 
 years found such a wide commercial use that under the present 
 market conditions, it has become, pound for pound, by far the most 
 valuable constituent of the grain, and whereas formerly in the glu- 
 cose factories and corn mills the germs containing the oil were 
 
 457 
 
453 BULLETIN No. 128. [September, 
 
 almost a waste product, there is now an actual demand on the part 
 of these industries for corn which is richer in oil. It is proposed 
 to meet this demand by breeding corn for increase of oil content. 
 
 Purpose of decreasing the oil. There is also a practical use for 
 corn with a low oil content. It has been found by investigation 
 that in feeding swine, the oil in the corn tends to produce a soft, 
 flabby quality of flesh which is very undesirable, especially for our 
 export trade where the demand of the market is for a hard, firm 
 product. A remedy for this lies in the reduction of the oil content 
 of the corn which is fed. Thus here we have a very important 
 practical object for breeding corn for decrease of oil content. 
 
 These special purposes mentioned for which corn is being im- 
 proved suggest the possibility of many others demanded by the 
 various industries which utilize the corn crop and which require 
 different qualities in it. 
 
 Corn improvement should, of course, embrace quantity as well 
 as quality and in all practical work of selection looking toward im- 
 provement, the matter of increased yield per acre should be given 
 first consideration. Recognizing the importance of this principle, 
 the methods used in these experiments have been chosen with the 
 view of maintaining or increasing the yield, and productiveness is 
 made the basis of the first selection, even sometimes at a sacrifice 
 in percentage of the desired chemical constituent. 
 
 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES 
 
 Before taking up this work of the improvement of corn by 
 systematic selection and breeding, it was necessary to make a pre- 
 liminary study of the subject such as is reported by Doctor Hop- 
 kins in Bulletin 53 "Chemistry of the Corn Kernel." In this study 
 a large amount of valuable knowledge was gained which bears upon 
 the technical side of the work, such as the chemical principles in- 
 volved and the laboratory manipulations upon which the success of 
 the entire work so intimately depends. Further, important data 
 were obtained from which were derived the principles of selection 
 upon which all of this work in improvement of the composition of 
 corn is based. All improvement by selection and breeding depends, 
 of course, upon variation, therefore it was necessary to make a pre- 
 liminary study in order to learn how corn varies with respect to its 
 composition. As the result of such an investigation the following 
 data were obtained : 
 
 Analysis of parts of the ear. In studying this question 30 
 duplicate analyses were first made on different parts of ears. Five 
 ears were divided lengthwise into 3 samples each in the following

 manner: If the ears were i2-ro\ved, 3 samples of 4 consecutive 
 rows each were made; if i6-rowed, 3 samples of 5 consecutive 
 rows each were made, one row being left, etc., etc. 
 
 Duplicate analyses of 15 samples thus prepared from 5 different 
 ears gave the results shown in Table I. The different ears are dis- 
 tinguished by the letters (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e*).

 Another lot of five ears was selected and each of these was di- 
 vided crosswise into 3 samples of approximately equal amounts, 
 which for convenience are designated "tip," "middle" and "butt," 
 the ears being lettered (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j). The results of 
 the duplicate analyses are given in Table 2. 
 
 It is observed that in every case the tip is the lowest in protein 
 and that usually the middle is lower than the butt, the average total 
 difference in the ear being 0.73 percent and the widest 1.13 percent 
 as shown in the total variations following Table 2. 
 
 The variation in ash and oil is small and shows no such pe- 
 culiarity. The carbohydrates, being determined by difference, ap- 
 pear, of course, as the complement to the sum of the .other sub- 
 stances and show in the opposite direction approximately the varia- 
 tion of the most variable determinable constituent. 
 
 Partial analyses of single kernels. For the work on ash con- 
 tent several ears of corn were selected, and from each a sample of 
 corn, consisting of a number of rows of kernels and believed to 
 fairly represent the ear, was taken and its percentage of ash in the 
 dry matter determined. Then for special investigation of ash con- 
 tent of single kernels four ears from the lot were chosen, of which 
 two were high and two low, comparatively, in percentage of 
 ash as previously determined. From each ear 10 kernels were 
 selected at approximately equal distance throughout the length of 
 the ear, the kernels being numbered from I to 10 and the order 
 running from tip to butt. The data from the ash determination in 
 single kernels and also percentage of ash in the large sample from 
 the same ear are given in Table 3.

 These results confirm those of the previous experiments in in- 
 dicating uniformity in the composition of the ear in all parts, al- 
 though, of course, slight variations are found. 
 
 In the work on the protein content of single kernels, 5 ears, 
 3 of which were high and 2 relatively low in protein, were selected 
 from a number of ears in a manner analogous to that described in 
 the previous experiment. In Table 4 are shown the results of these 
 protein determinations.

igo8.] TEN GENERATIONS OF CORN BREEDING. 463 
 
 Here in the protein content, as in the case of the ash, we find 
 on the one hand comparative uniformity among different kernels 
 of a single ear and on the other, marked variation among different 
 individual ears. 
 
 The results of these analyses of different ears from a single 
 variety together with analyses of different parts of single ears es- 
 tablish beyond question two important fundamental facts upon 
 which all of this subsequent work of selection and breeding is 
 founded. 
 
 The statement of these facts is as follows : 
 
 (1) The car of corn is approximately uniform throughout in 
 the chemical composition of its kernels. 
 
 (2) There is a ivide variation in the chemical composition of 
 different ears of the same variety of corn. 
 
 With these two principles established, we have a working basis 
 for the chemical* selection of seed corn. With uniformity in the 
 individual ear, it is possible to determine very approximately the 
 composition of the grain by analyzing a sample consisting of a few 
 rows of kernels, and this is the actual practice in the examination 
 of individual ears. If the ear represented by this sample is found 
 to be desirable for seed, the remainder of the kernels of the ear 
 may then be planted. 
 
 The wide variation in composition between different ears of 
 the same variety is a very important factor in the selection of seed ; 
 as a starting point is thus furnished in each of the several lines 
 of desired improvement. 
 
 It is to be observed that this principle of uniformity within the 
 individual, and variation as between different individuals within 
 the variety, holds not only for the chemical composition of the 
 kernel but it applies as well to other characteristics such as the 
 structure, for example, and whenever any such characteristic is re- 
 lated to productiveness or other utility of the crop, it should be 
 taken into account in the breeding. 
 
 GENERAL PLAN OF THE EXPERIMENTS 
 
 In the general plan of these experiments, it was proposed to 
 determine the influence upon the chemical composition of corn by 
 selection and breeding in the four directions namely, (i) for in- 
 crease of protein content, (2) for decrease of protein content, (3) 
 for increase of oil content, (4) for decrease of oil content. 
 
 The method employed was as follows : 
 
464 BULLETIN No. 128. [September, 
 
 For the first selection a large number of ears were analyzed 
 both for protein and for oil. In the high protein breeding, for ex- 
 ample, the 24 ears highest in protein were selected for seed and 
 planted in a plot isolated from other sorts of corn, each ear in a 
 separate row. 
 
 These rows were harvested separately and the seed for the next 
 planting was selected from ears of this crop which were found to 
 be highest in protein, repeating this process each year. The breed- 
 ing for low protein and for high oil and low oil was conducted on 
 the same plan. Under this system each selection rapidly gave rise 
 to a "pure" strain. As each original ear had its own register num- 
 ber and as all succeeding ears bore corresponding numbers the exact 
 pedigree of each row (on the female side) was at all times fully 
 known. 
 
 This general method has been maintained from the beginning, 
 although some minor modifications of details have been made from 
 time to time during the progress of the work as experience indi- 
 cated as being desirable or as necessity demanded. 
 
 THE BREEDING PLOT 
 
 The size of the breeding plot has varied in the different plots 
 and in the different years. The number of rows included in any 
 plot is always given in the plot records. 
 
 The locations of these breeding plots have always been chosen 
 with reference to their isolation from other corn fields in order to 
 prevent cross fertilization from other kinds of corn. It is quite 
 difficult with so many corn experiments as are carried on at this 
 Experiment Station to obtain conditions that are ideal in this re- 
 spect, but by taking advantage of tall hedge rows, and other bar- 
 riers, prevailing winds, and other corn fields of the same strain, 
 there has been but slight, if any, admixture in these breeding plots. 
 A system of alternating the locations of the breeding plots of the 
 opposite strains has been carried out. For example, after the first 
 two years the locations of the high-protein and the low-protein 
 plots were reversed ; that is the high-protein plot was planted on 
 the same ground that the low-protein plot had occupied the two 
 preceding years and vice versa. After two years more these plots 
 were shifted back to their original locations. The high-oil and 
 low-oil plots were managed in the same manner. The design of 
 this alternation of location of the plots was to provide something 
 of a check upon the possible influence of soi.1 upon the composition 
 
/9o5.] TEN GENERATIONS OF CORN BREEDING. 4-65 
 
 of the crops. The plots have been changed to other locations in 
 later years but this system of alternating has been maintained. For 
 each of these breeding plots there is now provided a double area 
 which makes possible a crop rotation system including clover and 
 other legumes, for maintaining the productivity of the land. 
 
 CULTURAL CONDITIONS 
 
 The cultural methods, including the preparation and cultiva- 
 tion of the soil, planting, harvesting, and handling 'of the crop on 
 these breeding plots have been such as is considered good practice 
 in ordinary corn growing. The seed has always been planted in 
 hills in preference to drills. The present practice is to plant the 
 hills three feet apart each way and to allow two stalks to the hill. 
 
 Attention is paid to the matter of preventing the distribution 
 of pollen from weak, barren or otherwise undesirable plants by de- 
 tasseling all such plants at the proper time. 
 
 After discovering the great advantage to be gained by the 
 method of detasseling alternate rows and taking seed only from 
 such detasseled rows, as pointed out in Bulletin 100, this system 
 has been applied to all of our regular breeding plots. 
 
 The method of harvesting has been that of cutting and curing 
 in the shock. 
 
 SAMPLING AND SELECTING 
 
 In the earlier years of the experiments a sample from each of 
 all of the rows was reserved by selecting a certain number of the 
 choicest ears as judged from their physical appearance. But as 
 the possibility of improvement became more clearly established, a 
 system was adopted by which seed ears for the next year's plant- 
 ing are taken only from those rows which prove to be most pro- 
 ductive as determined by the weight of ear corn produced, all other 
 rows of the plot being rejected as a source of seed, and since the 
 introduction of the system of detasseling alternate rows, only the 
 best of the detasseled or "dam" rows have been selected. This 
 method of selecting the choicest ears to represent the plot-row has 
 been followed throughout the work although details of the system 
 as regards the number of ears taken have been somewhat modified 
 in the different years, as will appear in connection with the data 
 which follow in the appendix. 
 
 The ears, thus chosen on account of their physical superiority, 
 are then subjected to chemical analysis and from the results of 
 these analyses is made the final selection of seed for the succeed- 
 ing season. 
 
466 BULLETIN No. 128. [September, 
 
 In the sampling for these analyses two rows of kernels are taken 
 lengthwise of the ear to represent the composition of the individual 
 ear. At the same time composite samples to represent the selected 
 plot-rows are taken by mixing together one row of kernels from 
 each selected ear of the respective plot-rows. Each seed ear thus 
 selected is given a permanent "Register Number" which designates 
 that ear for all future reference. 
 
 REGISTERING 
 
 By our system of numbering the "Register Number" shows at 
 the same time the number of the ear and the generation of the 
 breeding. This is done by starting the first year in the 100 series 
 numbering the ears to be planted in succession from 101, and the 
 second generation starting with the 200 series running up from 
 20 1 and so on, starting each succeeding year of the breeding with 
 a higher hundred. Thus Ear No. 1018 shows that this ear belongs 
 to the tenth generation and was planted in row 18 of the breeding 
 plot of that year. The "Dam No." is the register number of the 
 parent ear and is useful in tracing the pedigree record from year 
 to year. The "Annual Ear No." is simply a temporary number 
 given to each ear to be used during examination for selection and 
 as soon as the selection of the seed ears has been determined and 
 the arrangement for planting has been decided the ears are given 
 their permanent register numbers. 
 
 A description of the physical as well as the chemical character- 
 istics of all the seed ears is kept on record including length of ear, 
 tip circumference of ear, butt circumference of ear, number of 
 rows of kernels, number of kernels in row, weight of ear, weight 
 of cob, tip circumference of cob, and butt circumference of cob. 
 Besides this numerical description a photograph record is also kept 
 of every ear planted. 
 
 The performance record of each seed ear is shown by the 
 weight and number of ears produced as well as the average com- 
 position of its progeny. 
 
 For a more detailed description of the system of registry used 
 in our corn breeding work the reader is referred to Bulletin 100. 
 
 VARIETY 
 
 The variety of corn selected for this investigation was one of 
 medium size and of safe maturity for this latitude. It has been 
 grown upon the Experiment Station farm every year since 1887. 
 Previous to that time it had been carefully grown for several years 
 
/po<?.] TEN GENERATIONS OF CORN BREEDING. 467 
 
 by Mr. F. E. Burr of Champaign county, and it was known locally 
 as Burr's White; and this name was used in our records until 
 1903, when it was decided to change the name to ''Illinois." The 
 fact that these strains of corn are no longer typical Burr's White, 
 and the fact that this corn was carefully grown for several years 
 prior to 1896 by the Illinois Experiment Station and that since that 
 time it has been most carefully bred by this Station for improve- 
 ment in both yield and quality, so that there have been developed 
 from this variety four different strains of corn each of which has an 
 established pedigree now covering ten generations, these facts 
 have seemed to justify giving this corn a name which shall be dis- 
 tinctive and which shall also show its Illinois breeding; and now 
 it is known in the records and publications of the Illinois Ex- 
 periment Station as "Illinois" corn, the four different strains being 
 designated as : 
 
 1. "Illinois High-Protein." 
 
 2. "Illinois Low-Protein." 
 
 3. "Illinois High-Oil." 
 
 4. "Illinois Low-Oil." 
 
 FIRST SELECTION OP SEED 
 
 From the 1896 crop of Burr's White corn grown upon the Ex- 
 periment Station farm about two bushels (163 ears) of good sound 
 ear corn suitable for seed were taken. From each ear a sample 
 consisting of three rows of kernels lengthwise of the ear was taken 
 for analysis. The results of these analyses are given in the first 
 table of the appendix (Table 15). The data obtained show re- 
 markable variation in the relative proportions of the different con- 
 stituents. The ash varies from i.io to 1.74 percent, the protein 
 from 8.25 to 13.87 percent, the oil from 3.84 to 6.02 percent and 
 the carbohydrates from 78.92 to 85.70 percent. This is a good il- 
 lustration of the variation in composition existing among individual 
 ears of the same variety and indicates something of the possibili- 
 ties for selection. 
 
 According to these variations there were taken from the 163 
 ears four groups, (i) a set of twenty-four ears whose percentage 
 of protein was comparatively high, (2) a set of twelve ears each 
 of which contained a low percentage of protein, (3) a set of 
 twenty-four ears high in oil content, (4) a set of twelve ears low 
 in oil content. 
 
 These ears were taken as indicated in the last two columns of 
 Table 15, for the seed with which to start the four respective breed- 
 ing plots.

 It is believed that the interest in this investigation is such as 
 to demand the publication of a complete record of the results in 
 detail, but this data forms such a mass of material as to make it 
 seem advisable to place it in an appendix to this bulletin and to 
 summarize here only the yearly averages which show very well the 
 general results of the work. The reader who may be interested in 
 further detail of the experiments at any point is therefore referred 
 to the appendix (pages 489 to 575) where will be found the com- 
 plete data recorded in systematic arrangement. (If not attached 
 to this copy, the appendix will be sent upon request).

 From this arrangement of the data we may compare the re- 
 sults of the different seasons and at the same time observe the rela- 
 tions between the two plots, thereby enabling us to follow the 
 progress of the breeding from year to year. 
 
 Starting with the crop of 1896 with an average protein content 
 of 10.92 percent, as represented by the original 163 ears, the aver- 
 age of the seed ears selected for the high-protein plot of 1897 was 
 12.54 percent while at the same time low-protein seed ears were 
 
1908.] TEN GENERATIONS OF CORN BREEDING. 469 
 
 selected which averaged 8.96 percent. The crop harvested from 
 the high-protein plot in 1897 gave an average of 11.10 percent of 
 protein while the average of the corresponding low-protein plot 
 was 10.55 percent. Then selecting again the highest-protein ears 
 out of this year's crop from the high-protein plot, seed for the fol- 
 lowing year was obtained which averaged 12.49 percent. Selecting 
 the lowest protein ears from the low-protein plot, the seed for this 
 plot in 1898 averaged 9.06 percent. 
 
 Repeating this process each year the effect has been in a gen- 
 eral way to gradually increase or decrease the protein content in 
 the corn according to the selection. 
 
 In glancing over the records there are a few irregularities to 
 be seen. Comparing the results of the season of 1898 with that of 
 the preceding year we seem to have lost a little ground in the high- 
 protein breeding, and in the low-protein plot there was no advance 
 made. 
 
 The next year however, following a more favorable seed selec- 
 tion in each case, good gains were made in both directions in 1899, 
 and the same is true of the year 1900. 
 
 In 1901 the results are abnormal and here we have a striking 
 illustration of the effect which may be produced by the climatic 
 conditions of the season upon the composition of the crop. This 
 year the protein rises abnormally high in the high-protein crop 
 gaining 1.8 percent over that of the year before and in the low- 
 protein crop, instead of getting the expected decrease this year the 
 protein content rises to over ten percent, thus reverting back to a 
 point higher than it had been for two generations. The season of 
 1901 was an extremely dry one and from the lack of sufficient mois- 
 ture much of the corn did not properly "fill out." In the forma- 
 tion of the kernel the proportion of protein is greatest in the 
 younger stages of growth and this proportion gradually diminishes 
 as the carbohydrates are deposited. If the conditions are such that 
 this deposition of carbohydrates is checked, as they were this sea- 
 son, the corn comes to maturity with an abnormally large propor- 
 tion of protein. 
 
 In the case of the high-protein plot the damaging effect of this 
 drouth was so pronounced as to render the crop almost a total 
 failure. The yield of ear corn amounted to only about six bushels 
 per acre and consisted mostly of mere nubbins. On account of the 
 scarcity of ears, it was impossible to follow the regular system of 
 sampling, so the entire product from each plot-row was collected 
 and all of the sound ears and even many nubbins were selected for 
 
470 BULLETIN No. 128. [September, 
 
 analysis in order to obtain the results of the year and to get any 
 sort of seed with which to maintain the experiment. The com- 
 posite samples representing the high-protein crop are therefore not 
 obtained from the best twenty ears from each plot-row according 
 to the regular system but they were taken from all of the corn fit 
 to analyze from each row. Thus there were altogether only 60 in- 
 dividual ears from which only five were chosen for seed as being 
 fit to plant. Fortunately it was possible to supplement these with 
 some seed ears from our "Special High-protein" plot which was 
 being carried on for another experiment but which was planted 
 from the same strain as the regular high-protein plot so that these 
 ears could be substituted without disturbing the pedigree record. 
 The low-protein plot did not suffer so badly from the drouth, so, 
 that here the sampling and selection were made as usual. 
 
 During the season of 1902 the climatic conditions as regards 
 rainfall were just the opposite to those of the previous year and 
 we observe in the results obtained precisely the opposite effect. 
 With the very wet season this year we have a great diminution of 
 protein content in the corn in the high-protein as well as in the 
 low-protein plot. 
 
 This seasonal condition which seems to have such a marked in- 
 fluence upon the composition of the corn is quite significant. The 
 season of 1901 was very dry and it was attended by an abnormally 
 high protein content in all the corn examined that year. The 
 season of 1902 was unusually wet and the general tendency was 
 to produce corn low in protein. These results are in accordance 
 with those of other investigations, particularly in irrigation experi- 
 ments where it has been observed that the quantity of water sup- 
 plied has a direct influence upon the composition of corn, wheat, 
 and oats, the protein content of the grain decreasing as the water 
 supply increases. These results support what seems to be a general 
 principle namely, that a lack of moisture tends to increase the pro- 
 portion of protein and abundance of moisture reduces it, due, of 
 course, to the effect of water supply upon carbohydrate formation. 
 
 With a fairly normal season in 1903 the high-protein crop made 
 a notable advance, but the low-protein in spite of the extremely low 
 content of the seed this year did not go down to the point attained 
 in the low-protein season of the previous year, and in fact we have 
 never been able since to bring it back to the extremely low point 
 reached that year. 
 
 The season of 1904 appears to have been another one favorable 
 to the production of protein, for the high-protein plot made a gain 
 
TEN GENERATIONS OF CORN BREEDING. 471 
 
 of two percent this year and reached its maximum figure, 15.03 
 percent, a point which has not since been attained. The low- 
 protein plot shows a similar effect, for instead of decreasing this 
 year, it goes up to 9.27 the highest average percentage in the last 
 five generations of the breeding. 
 
 In 1905 as might be expected the content in the high-protein 
 crop was not so high as in the preceding high-protein season. In 
 the low-protein plot a good gain was made this year for low- 
 protein. 
 
 In 1906 the percentage in the high-protein was still lower than 
 in 1905 while in the low-protein crop, the percentage was a little 
 higher than in the year before although the difference is not great. 
 
 The figures in the last column of the table showing the differ- 
 ence between the percentages of protein in the two crops produced 
 each year are perhaps most instructive because they show the real 
 progress attained in the breeding. They enable us to appreciate 
 more fully the scientific value of breeding for high protein and low 
 protein simultaneously and thereby obtaining a control upon the 
 work which serves to eliminate the question as to the effect of 
 seasonal tendencies in either direction. 
 
 These figures practically show a continuously increasing separa- 
 tion between the high-protein and the low-protein strains as the 
 breeding advances up to 1906 so that with the exception of two 
 slight regressions, whether the tendency of the season has been 
 toward the production of high-protein corn or low-protein corn, 
 the force of an hereditary influence is demonstrated always to have 
 been in operation. 
 
 It is to be recognized of course that there are practical limits 
 both maximum and minimum to which this matter can be carried 
 and we should expect to finally reach a state where we would in- 
 terfere with the normal physiological functions of the seed. 
 
 As to whether this last year's result in which no more gain was 
 made in the difference between the high and low, is to be taken as 
 indicating that we have reached these limits cannot yet be posi- 
 tively decided. It seems scarcely probable that with seed still un- 
 impaired in vitality and developing into normal healthy plants fur- 
 nishing otherwise normal crops that the ultimate limits should be 
 at hand. It is proposed still to keep up the selection along these 
 lines and the outcome of the next few years will be awaited with 
 interest. 
 
 The results of these experiments thus far show that starting 
 with a single variety of corn, it has been possible in ten generations 
 
472 BULLETIN No. 128. [September, 
 
 by these methods of selection and breeding to increase the protein 
 content from 10.92 percent in the original to 14.26 percent, thus 
 making a gain of 3.34 percent, and at the same time by breeding in 
 the opposite direction it has been possible to reduce the protein con- 
 tent from 10.92 percent to 8.64 percent, making a reduction of 
 2.28 percent, thus producing a total difference between the two 
 strains of 5.62 percent. In other words the composition of this 
 variety of corn has been so modified that two strains have been 
 developed, one of which is now nearly twice as rich in protein as 
 the other. 
 
 MIXED-PROTEIN PLOT 
 
 In order to eliminate the question as to whatever influence the 
 soil might exert on the protein content of the corn an experiment 
 was undertaken in which high-protein and low-protein seed were 
 planted together in one plot, our so-called "Mixed-Protein Plot," 
 where the two strains must develop under identical surrounding 
 conditions. 
 
 The description and results of the first year of this experiment 
 are given in Bulletin 55. The first year this mixed-protein plot 
 contained five rows of ten hills each. In each hill were planted two 
 kernels of high-protein corn on one side and two kernels of low- 
 protein on the opposite side in such manner that the resulting plants 
 could be identified. 
 
 When the crop was harvested eight to ten ears were selected 
 from each kind of corn from each row and from these ears com- 
 posite samples were made for analysis. These analyses showed 
 that the average protein content of the corn from the high-protein 
 seed was invariably higher than in that produced from the low- 
 protein seed. 
 
 This same experiment was repeated in a somewhat larger plot 
 in 1899 and also m 1900. (See Tables 96, 97 and 98 in the ap- 
 pendix for details). 
 
 The differences in protein content between the crops from high- 
 protein and low-protein seed were 1.25 percent in 1898, 2.58 
 percent in 1899, and 2.86 percent in 1900. 
 
 Besides these composite samples there were analyzed from the 
 mixed-protein plot of 1899, J 37 pairs of ears in which each pair 
 consisted of an ear produced from a high-protein kernel and one 
 from a low-protein kernel and growing together in the same hill. 
 The results of these analyses are given in Table 99 of the appendix 
 and they show an average difference of 2.58 percent to be attributed 
 positively to the mfluence of the seed selection. But with still 
 further interest, it is to be noted that among these 137 different 
 
I9o8.] 
 
 TEN GENERATIONS OF CORN BREEDING. 
 
 473 
 
 pairs, there are only ten cases in which the higher percentage of 
 protein is not found in the ear produced from the high-protein ker- 
 nel. The most notable of these exceptions occurs in case of Row 
 No. 2, Hill No. n where the low-protein kernel produced an ear 
 3.73 percent higher in protein than the ear resulting from the high- 
 protein kernel. However, these abnormal individual variations are 
 to be expected and they have* frequently been observed throughout 
 all of these experiments. 
 
 The results of these experiments with the mixed-protein plots 
 during these three different years establish beyond question the fact 
 that the protein content of the corn crop is influenced directly by 
 the seed planted, independently of soil, seasonal, or cultural con- 
 ditions. 
 
 BREEDING TO INFLUENCE THE OIL CONTENT 
 
 Summarizing the results of the ten generations of breeding to 
 influence the oil content in the same manner as we have considered 
 the protein breeding, there are brought together from the detailed 
 records in the appendix the general yearly averages of the high-oil 
 and low-oil plots as arranged in Table 6.

 The results show that the response to selection for oil has been 
 even more pronounced and more regular than that for protein as 
 indicated by the total relative increase and decrease and by the 
 changes from year to year. 
 
 In the percentages representing the crop produced each year in 
 the high-oil plot there has been with but one exception, namely, in 
 
474 BULLETIN No. 128. [September, 
 
 1901, a constant increase in oil content as the breeding proceeds. 
 Likewise in the low-oil plot there has been a steady decrease from 
 year to year with the single exception of the last year. 
 
 We have noted the marked effect which the abundance or scarc- 
 ity of moisture may have upon the protein content of corn, and in 
 these experiments the oil content appears also to be susceptible to 
 some peculiar seasonal conditions. What these conditions are have 
 not been determined, but that they exist is made apparent if we 
 compare the increase and decrease in the percentage of oil in each 
 generation in the two plots. It would appear as though certain 
 seasons were particularly favorable to the production of oil, while 
 other seasons may be normal or unfavorable in this respect. This 
 effect is particularly apparent in the first two years of the breed- 
 ing; thus, the season of 1897 seems to have been very unfavorable, 
 while the season of 1898 appears to have been very favorable, to 
 the production of oil. 
 
 From the last column in the table which shows, by the differ- 
 ences in percentage between the high-oil and the low-oil crops each 
 year, the real progress accomplished by the breeding, we see that 
 there has been a continuously increasing difference between the per- 
 centages of oil in the corn from the two plots up to the tenth year 
 where this difference remains stationary. The high-oil corn has 
 increased from 4.70 percent to 7.37 percent of oil, and the low-oil 
 corn has decreased from 4.70 to 2.66 percent, the difference be- 
 tween the two strains having grown from nothing in 1896 to 4.71 
 percent in 1905. Curiously enough the oil breeding resembles the 
 protein in the fact that there is constant progress indicated until 
 the tenth year when in each case this progression ceases. In the 
 protein experiments it will be recalled that the figures in this "dif- 
 ference column" show actually a slight regression in the tenth year 
 while here in the oil breeding the differences between the averages 
 of the high-oil and low-oil crop stands exactly stationary in the 
 last two years. 
 
 As has already been remarked in the discussion of the protein 
 breeding results, it would be rash to decide at this time from these 
 figures that the limits to which the breeding can be carried are 
 now determined. 
 
 Summarizing the results of the ten years' experiments to in- 
 fluence the oil content into one general statement we may say that 
 starting with a single variety of corn and breeding in the two op- 
 posite directions, there has been a constantly widening separation 
 between the two strains as the breeding advances until finally after 
 ten generations there have been produced two kinds of corn, one 
 of which is almost three times as rich in oil as the other. 
 
1908.] TEN GENERATIONS OF CORN BREEDING. 475 
 
 MIXED-OIL PLOT 
 
 In order to eliminate any question of the influence of the soil 
 upon the oil content in these experiments, a third plot was planted 
 called the "mixed-oil plot," after the plan of the "mixed-protein 
 plot" already described under that heading. In 1898 there were 
 planted in this plot 50 hills arranged in five rows of ten hills each. 
 In each hill two kernels of high-oil corn were planted on one side 
 and two of low-oil on the opposite side and when the crop was har- 
 vested composite samples were made to represent the corn of each 
 side of the row. 
 
 This same experiment was repeated in 1899 and also in 1900 
 the details being given in Tables 100, 101 and 102 of the appendix. 
 
 From the results it is to be noticed that never in any of the 
 rows has the percentage of oil in the crop of the low-oil side ap- 
 proached that of the high-oil side. In 1898 the average difference 
 in oil content in the corn resulting from the two kinds of seed was 
 1. 1 1 percent, in 1899 it was 1.35 percent and in 1900 it was 1.97 
 percent. 
 
 From the mixed-oil plot of 1899 there were taken besides these 
 composite samples 85 pairs of individual ears in which each pair 
 consists of one car produced from a high-oil seed kernel and one 
 from a low-oil kernel, both ears from plants growing in the same 
 hill. Each of these individual ears was sampled and analyzed and 
 these results are given in Table 103 of the appendix. 
 
 The average of all of the individual ears from high-oil seed is 
 5.22 percent and from low-oil seed it is 3.82 percent. But the point 
 of most interest, perhaps, in connection with this table is the regu- 
 larity with which the oil content of the crop responds to that of the 
 seed planted, for among the 85 pairs there are only four cases in 
 which the oil in the ear, resulting from low-oil seed happens to 
 surpass in percentage that from the high-oil seed. 
 
 The results of these three years' experiments with the mixed-oil 
 plot are all in accordance and they establish beyond dispute the pos- 
 sibility of influencing the oil content of corn by the selection of the 
 seed, showing conclusively that heredity has been responsible for 
 the results obtained quite independent of soil, climatic or cultural 
 conditions.

 SECONDARY EFFECTS PRODUCED BY SELECTION TO 
 CHANGE THE COMPOSITION OF THE GRAIN 
 
 As is always the case in investigations of this sort, the work 
 had not proceeded far before a multitude of interesting side ques- 
 tions arose, inviting investigation in all directions from the main 
 issue. What secondary effects are produced by this intense selec- 
 tion for these special chemical characteristics ? What, for example, 
 is the effect of changing the proportion of protein in the grain upon 
 the other constituents? How is the composition of other parts of 
 the plant affected? What influence has it upon the physical type 
 of the kernel and of the ear? And, what is of especially practical 
 importance, how is the yield affected? 
 
 Having established the possibility of influencing the composi- 
 tion of the kernel in this way by several years of breeding and after 
 having actually produced the different kinds of corn to work with, 
 it became possible to take up the study of some of these important 
 secondary effects. The results of the investigation of some of these 
 questions are given in the following pages. 
 
 EFFECT ON THE COMPOSITION OF OTHER PARTS OF THE PLANT 
 
 After the breeding plots had been under way for five years and 
 marked changes had been produced, a study was begun to ascer- 
 tain how the composition of other parts of the plant was being af- 
 fected by altering that of the grain. 
 
 Beginning in 1903, there have been collected every year at har- 
 vest time representative plants from each of the four "Illinois" 
 breeding plots. These plants were divided in the following manner 
 into three parts, namely, upper-stalk, lower-stalk, and leaves. The 
 leaves were first stripped off from the stalks and these, including 
 the husks, constituted the sample designated here as "leaves." 
 Then at the joint where the ear was borne, the stalk was divided 
 and the part below this point comprised the sample called "lower- 
 stalk," and all above including the tassel, made up the sample des- 
 ignated as "upper-stalk." 
 
 It may be observed that the condition of these samples is just 
 as it would be in the ordinary handling of corn stover on the farm. 
 It was cured in the field in the ordinary manner, the stalks having 
 lost some parts of the leaves and tassels. Then this rather arbi- 
 trary division into parts follows somewhat in the natural way in 
 which the stover is eaten by animals as fed entire without cutting 
 or shredding. The leaves and husks are entirely consumed and 
 usually a portion at least of the upper stalk is eaten. If any is re- 
 fused, it is the coarser part of the stalk corresponding somewhat to 
 
I9o8.]

 our sample of "lower-stalk." With this practical bearing in mind, 
 there is lent something of an added interest to the 'analyses. 
 
 The results of the analyses of these samples are brought to- 
 gether in the tables that follow. For convenient comparison each 
 constituent is considered by itself in a table showing the percentages 
 found in the several parts of the plant in the different strains each 
 season. 
 
 In the first two years of the work these samples were taken 
 from every individual breeding row in the four plots so that the 
 results shown here really represent averages of several hundred 
 analyses, but these data form such a mass of material that lack of 
 space forbids presenting them here in detail.

 Comparing the percentages of ash in the high-protein and low- 
 protein strains in the upper-stalk, there is no regularity apparent. 
 In two of the seasons the percentage was greater in the high- 
 protein plot and in the three other seasons it was smaller. The 
 lower-stalk varies in the different seasons in accordance with the 
 
478 
 
 BULLETIN No. 128. 
 
 [September, 
 
 upper-stalk, and, the same is true of the leaves. In the grain the 
 differences are very slight but they show every season a little more 
 ash in the high-protein corn. 
 
 Comparing the samples of the various parts from the high-oil 
 and low-oil strains, we find no regularly concordant variations ex- 
 cept in the case of the grain where usually the percentage of ash 
 has been a trifle higher in the high-oil than in the low-oil corn. In 
 regard to the distribution of the ash over the plant as a whole w r e 
 find, as we should expect in accordance with what is generally ob- 
 served in plant studies of this nature, the lowest proportion of ash 
 in the seed and the highest in the leaves where it amounts some- 
 times to almost one-tenth of the dry substance. 
 
 ON THE PROTEIN CONTENT 
 
 It is especially interesting to note how the change in the pro- 
 portion of protein in the grain has affected this constituent in other 
 parts of the plant. For example, does the increase of protein in 
 the kernel mean an increase of this substance in the other organs 
 of the plant, or is this higher content in the kernel the result of an 
 accumulation produced at the expense of other parts? 
 
 Table 8 shows the results of the protein determinations in the 
 various parts of the plant.

TEN GENERATIONS OF CORN BREEDING. 479 
 
 Upon comparing the protein content of the upper-stalk samples 
 we find that the percentage has always been greater in the high- 
 protein plot varying in the different seasons, from only a slight 
 difference to over double the amount. 
 
 The lower-stalk follows the upper-stalk in this respect in three 
 of the seasons but in the other two years the protein runs higher in 
 the low-protein strain. The leaves agree quite closely in every case 
 with the lower-stalk. 
 
 The wide differences in the protein content of the grain are, of 
 course, the direct result of the selection which have already been 
 considered so that we need not discuss them further in this con- 
 nection. 
 
 Turning now to the oil breeding, there seems to be a lack of 
 any significant regularity in the parts of the stover. In the upper- 
 stalk the percentage of protein runs higher three out of the five 
 seasons in the high-oil strain. In the lower-stalk it is three times 
 out of the five higher in the high-oil strain but corresponding only 
 three times with the upper-stalk. The leaves correspond with the 
 lower-stalk in this comparison. 
 
 But a very marked correlation appears in the grain where there 
 has been every year a notable increase in protein in the high-oil 
 strain over that of the low-oil. This is indeed significant and is of 
 such interest that it will be discussed more fully later on. 
 
 Regarding the general distribution of the protein in the plant, 
 the data show; that in the other parts, the proportion of protein 
 is never as high as it is in the grain; that among the other parts, 
 the leaves have averaged somewhat higher than the stalks although 
 this condition has not been constant in every year ; that, as between 
 the upper and lower portions of the stalk no regular difference can 
 be established. 
 
 EFFECT ON THE CRUDE FAT CONTENT. (Ether Extract.) 
 
 It will be noticed that the term "crude fat" is used here for des- 
 ignating this determination rather than "oil" as has been used in 
 the rest of this work in which only the kernels were concerned. It 
 should be considered that while in the kernels the substance ex- 
 tracted by ether is practically all oil, in the stalk and leaves it con- 
 sists to a considerable extent of other constituents besides true fats, 
 or oil, such as coloring matters, waxes, organic acids, etc. On this 
 account these results of the ether extraction are not to be taken as 
 necessarily explicitly expressing the relations of the amount of oil 
 or fat in the various organs of the plant to that of the kernels. 
 However in the chemical analyses of food stuffs, the ether extrac- 
 tion is the best practical method that we have at present of classify-

 ing these substances, and in view of the fact that it is usually made 
 and reported in fodder analyses this determination was made in 
 this study with the idea that the information would be of interest 
 and might prove suggestive. The results are given in Table 9.

 The proportion of ether-extract in the stalks and leaves is not 
 very large ranging mostly around one percent and there are no ap- 
 parent relations among these results that would indicate any sig- 
 nificant influence of the selections either in the protein or in the oil 
 breeding. 
 
 In the case of the grain, however, there is an interesting cor- 
 relation manifested. We have already seen how the protein con- 
 tent of the grain is influenced by the oil selection, and, just as the 
 protein rises and falls with the oil content, so here the oil follows 
 the protein selections, and in every season there is a decided in- 
 crease of oil in the high-protein strain over that of the low-protein. 
 
 The figures show in regard to the relative proportions of ether- 
 extract in the different parts of the plant, that the crude fat in other 
 parts scarcely ever approaches in percentage the oil in the kernel 
 and also that it is generally greater in the lower-stalk and leaves 
 than in the upper-stalk.

 EFFECT ON THE PHOSPHORUS CONTENT 
 
 On account of their especial bearing upon questions pertaining 
 to soil fertility a knowledge of the phosphorus and potassium con- 
 tents in these different strains of corn is of interest. Accordingly 
 determinations of these two elements in the samples of the different 
 parts of the plants have been made since 1903. The percentages 
 are given in Tables 10 and 1 1 being expressed in terms of the ele- 
 mentary substances.

 Comparing the high-protein and low-protein strains it is inter- 
 esting to note that with only the exception of the upper-stalk and 
 leaves in 1906, the phosphorus content is always somewhat higher 
 in the samples representing the high-protein plot both in stover 
 and grain. 
 
 In the breeding for high and low-oil, however, such a correla- 
 tion does not appear in the stover but in the grain we find regu- 
 larly a higher phosphorus content in the high-oil corn. Taking the 
 plant as a whole the grain is decidedly the richest part in phos- 
 phorus thus conforming to what has been generally observed. 
 
 EFFECT ON THE POTASSIUM CONTENT 
 
 Comparing the high-protein and low-protein plots the different 
 parts of the stover show agreement in three out of the four years 
 in being somewhat richer in potassium in the low-protein strain. 
 The other season all parts w r ere richer in this element, in the high- 
 protein strain.

 In the grain samples the comparisons show conflicting results 
 but the differences here are so small as to be scarcely significant. 
 
 As between the high-oil and low-oil breeding no regularity 
 among the stover samples can be made out. In the grain the per- 
 centages are just a trifle greater in the low-oil corn but the differ- 
 ences are too slight to be considered seriously. 
 
 These results likewise accord with the usual observance that the 
 stover carries a much larger proportion of potassium than the grain. 
 The stalks and leaves do not vary greatly in this respect. 
 
 CONCLUSIONS 
 
 The preceding data afford material for numerous other com- 
 parisons and a critical study would doubtless reveal many other 
 suggestive facts, but it is our present purpose only to derive as 
 direct an answer as possible to our main question regarding the ef- 
 fect produced upon the composition of the plant as a whole by 
 altering the relative proportions of the constituents of the kernel. 
 
 Summarizing the results of this study and putting them into 
 the form of a general statement we may say, that aside from the 
 correlation developed between protein and oil in the grain, there 
 has not been produced any very marked effect. The ash in the 
 grain appears to be influenced very slightly by the protein as well 
 as the oil selection, following these selections in direct correlation. 
 The same is true of the phosphorus content.

 Further there' is seemingly a tendency toward an increased 
 phosphorus content in the stover resulting from high-protein se- 
 lection, but this observation needs further confirmation. 
 
 CORRELATION BETWEEN PROTEIN AND OIL IN THE KERNEL 
 
 At the beginning of the breeding the correlation between the 
 protein and oil content in the kernel was only very slight. The 
 result of the mathematical calculation of this correlation in the 
 original 163 ears from which the first selections were made, as 
 given in Bulletin 87, shows only 3.81 percent of a perfect cor- 
 relation. 
 
 But, although this correlation is insignificant at first, it seems 
 to have advanced with the breeding so that, as we have just ob- 
 served, after five years it became very prominent both in the pro- 
 tein and in the oil selections. 
 
 It is interesting to trace the development of this correlation in 
 the progress of the breeding as may be done in Table 12 in which, 
 are given the percentages of oil in the high-protein and low-protein 
 strains each generation excepting the second and third years when 
 these determinations were not made.

 The last column which shows the difference in oil content each 
 year brings out the principle in a most interesting way. This dif- 
 ference between the two plots begins with a very small figure which 
 gradually increases as the breeding goes on corresponding to the 
 differences in the protein itself, until in the tenth generation this 
 difference becomes so significant as to amount to about one-third 
 of the total quantity of oil. 
 
 In like manner the behavior of the protein in the high and low- 
 oil strains is shown in Table 13.

 Although the differences in protein content in the high-oil and 
 low-oil plots have not been as regular or constant as in the case of 
 the oil content in the high-protein and low-protein plots, yet the 
 same principle is evident, for, whereas in' the earlier years the pro- 
 tein actually averages a little higher in the low-oil strain as indi- 
 cated in the table by the minus signs, in later generations after the 
 breeding had advanced and greater differences in the oil content 
 had been induced, the correlation appears and remains, although 
 fluctuating in intensity from year to year. 
 
 EFFECT ON THE TYPE OF KERNEL 
 
 That the selection for certain chemical constituents has a very 
 noticeable effect upon the physical characteristics of the kernel was 
 observed very early in the work and in Bulletin 55 descriptions with 
 photographs were published showing the possibility of distinguish- 
 ing between high-protein and low-protein corn as well as between 
 high-oil and low-oil corn by the mechanical structure of the kernel. 
 The matter has been mentioned again in Bulletins 82 and 100, and 
 Bulletin 87, "The Structure of the Corn Kernel and the Composi- 
 tion of its Different Parts," deals especially with this phase of the 
 subject, treating it in considerable detail. Therefore it is not pro- 
 posed to discuss this matter at length here, but only to call atten- 
 tion briefly to the facts observed in this connection. 
 
 Selection for high-protein has developed a type of kernel hav- 
 ing a relatively larger proportion of that part characterized by its 
 horny structure, the soft starchy part which immediately surrounds 
 the germ and runs up into the crown of the kernel being less prom- 
 inent. In the type of kernel resulting from low-protein selection 
 
TEN GENERATIONS OF CORN BREEDING. 485 
 
 this condition is reversed and here the soft starchy part predomi- 
 nates. Viewed externally the high-protein kernel has a somewhat 
 glassy appearance while the low-protein presents a milky effect. 
 
 Following the fact that about four-fifths of all the oil in the 
 kernel resides within the germ, the selection for high-oil has re- 
 sulted in a kernel having a relatively large proportion of germ, 
 while the low-oil selection has produced a kernel whose germ oc- 
 cupies a relatively small proportion of the space. 
 
 It should be borne in mind that a reduction of the proportion 
 of germ does not necessarily depend altogether upon a decrease in 
 the absolute size, for the same effect would be produced by increas- 
 ing the size of the endosperm, and in our low-oil strain this is what 
 has really taken place to some extent, so that the selection has re- 
 sulted in a large broad type of kernel admitting fewer rows on 
 the cob. 
 
 The question is often asked as to whether there is any differ- 
 ence apparent in germination on account of this effect upon the 
 size of the germ. In laboratory tests under carefully controlled 
 and comparable conditions a difference in the rate and vigor with 
 which the germination starts off has been observed, the first signs 
 of growth appearing about twenty-four hours earlier in the high- 
 oil corn. This difference, however, becomes less apparent as the 
 development of the young plantlet proceeds and in the field there 
 is as yet no detrimental effect noticeable due to impaired vitality 
 in the seed brought about by the selection for low-oil. 
 
 EFFECT ON THE TYPE OF EAR 
 
 That the selection in these different directions has likewise had 
 its effect upon the physical characteristics of the ear is clearly 
 shown in Bulletin 119, "Type and Variability in Corn," in which 
 Dean Davenport and Doctor Rietz have made this matter the sub- 
 ject of a special study. 
 
 In this investigation ears from each of the four "Illinois" 
 strains from the crops of the ninth and tenth generations were sub- 
 jected to measurements of their length, circumference, weight, and 
 number of rows of kernels. 
 
 The variability of each one of these charactertistics was studied 
 by the statistical method in which are determined mathematical ex- 
 pressions showing the "mean," or average value of the character 
 in question, as well as its tendency to vary from this average, ex- 
 pressed by the "standard deviation" and the "coefficient of vari- 
 ability." Taking from these tabulated results those figures which 
 are of especial concern in this connection, the following interesting 
 facts are brought out. 
 
486 BULLETIN No. 128. [September, 
 
 Selection for high-protein has produced an ear averaging some- 
 what smaller than the low-protein ear as shown by a comparison of 
 the length, circumference and weight ; the number of rows of ker- 
 nels also averages slightly less on the typical high-protein ear. 
 
 Similarly the high-oil selection has resulted in a smaller type of 
 ear than has the low-oil, the length, circumference and weight be- 
 ing less in each case in the high-oil strain. However, in spite of 
 the fact that the typical low-oil ear is the largest of any of the 
 strains, the number of rows of kernels is the least, this being due 
 to the broadening of the kernel as previously explained. 
 
 EFFECT ON THE YIELD 
 
 One of the first questions to be taken into consideration from 
 the practical standpoint is, of course, the effect that selection for 
 these various characteristics has upon the productiveness. 
 
 In this connection it should be borne in mind that during the 
 earlier years of these experiments in the selection of seed no special 
 precaution was taken against in-breeding. If the pedigree lines be 
 traced back in the high-protein plot it w r ill be found that they all 
 converge in a single ear grown in 1901. The low-protein strain 
 as it now exists is the progeny of two of the original ears and the 
 same is true of the low-oil. The high-oil strain traces back to 
 three original ears. Thus the pedigree records show that there 
 must have been a considerable amount of rather close in-breeding 
 which has probably exerted a more or less detrimental effect upon 
 the yield. It was not until the ninth generation that we started our 
 present system of taking seed from detasseled rows only and ar- 
 ranging the planting of the seed ears with reference to their rela- 
 tionship, in order to prevent as far as possible such close in-breeding. 
 
 Neither was there in the earlier years of the breeding any se- 
 lection based upon productiveness other than the choice of the 
 largest, finest seed ears. In the sixth generation a system of re- 
 jecting a few of the lowest yielding rows was begun but it was 
 not until the ninth generation that our present system was adopted 
 of selecting one-half of the detasseled rows according to their per- 
 formance as regards productiveness. 
 
 Therefore in speaking of the yielding propensities of these sev- 
 eral strains of corn, these handicaps which they have undergone in 
 the breeding should be taken into consideration. 
 
 In order to test this matter of yield, seed has been taken every 
 year since the sixth generation from each of the four breeding 
 plots and planted in our variety test plots where they are given con- 
 ditions of soil and culture as uniform as possible for securing com- 
 parable results.

 In this variety test there are planted at certain intervals so- 
 callecl "Standard plots" from one of the best standard varieties of 
 this region the purpose of these being to serve as a check for com- 
 parison in different parts of the field. In Table 14 the yield each 
 year in terms of bushels of shelled corn per acre is given for each 
 of the four "Illinois" strains along with that of the standard 
 variety.

 In looking over these results there are some irregularities to be 
 seen and it is still too early to draw final conclusions in all respects. 
 The maximum yield varies among the four strains in the different 
 years. In two of the seasons the low-oil gave the highest yield 
 and in two others the low-protein yielded most. 
 
 But the lowest yield has in every season been produced by the 
 high-protein corn and this fact accords with our previous observa- 
 tion regarding the type of ear where we found the typical high- 
 protein ear to be the smallest of all the four strains. So it seems 
 a high-protein content and the highest productivity do not go 
 together. 
 
 The formation of protein depends, of course, upon the supply 
 of nitrogen in the soil. In fact the relation is so intimate that it 
 has been observed in experiments that the protein content can be 
 increased in corn by the application of nitrogenous fertilizers. 
 This suggests the possibility of a limitation of growth on ordinary 
 soil due to an extra high nitrogen requirement on the part of the 
 high-protein strain. 
 
 If, however, we consider the production of protein per acre we 
 will find a very decided gain in the production of protein in the 
 high-protein breeding. For example in 1906 the high-protein 
 strain produced 65.1 bushels per acre and the protein content of the 
 crop that year as we have seen was 14.26 percent. This would 
 yield (reckoning 56 pounds shelled corn per bushel) 520 pounds of 
 
488 BULLETIN No. 128. [September, 
 
 protein per acre. At the same time the low-protein strain produced 
 73.2 bushels carrying 8.54 percent of protein which would yield 
 354 pounds. This makes a difference of 166 pounds of protein per 
 acre in favor of the high-protein breeding. This, however, from 
 the practical standpoint, would be an unfair comparison because 
 ordinarily what the farmer has to deal with is corn of ordinary 
 protein content rather than low-protein corn. We have no "Illi- 
 nois" strain now unaffected by chemical selection with which to 
 make the comparison. But suppose we compare our "Illinois High- 
 Protein" with the standard white variety for this year, that is the 
 "Silvermine," which has had no chemical selection, and assume 
 that it contains the same percentage with which we started the 
 "Illinois" breeding, that is 10.92, which as a matter of fact is not 
 far from the average of ordinary dent corn. Making the computa- 
 tion we find that the 75.7 bushel yield containing 10.92 percent 
 would give us 463 pounds of protein per acre. Based upon this 
 estimate there was a gain this year of 57 pounds of protein per 
 acre by the high-protein breeding and this is of no mean conse- 
 quence when we* consider that this 57 pounds represents about one- 
 eighth of the total quantity of protein produced. 
 
 On the whole these results of the yields are quite gratifying 
 when we consider that these "Illinois" strains have maintained 
 their productiveness as well as they have in spite of the intense 
 selection they have undergone for other special characteristics. 
 With the exception of one season, some one of the Illinois strains 
 has even surpassed in yield the supposedly good variety used as a 
 standard. All of this goes to show that intense selection for a 
 special character is not necessarily accompanied by a reduction in 
 yield, this not implying, of course, that selection for yield alone 
 would not make greater progress when unhampered by considera- 
 tion for other characteristics.

 APPENDIX 
 
 In connection with this investigation a large amount of experi- 
 mental data has been collected. For the selection of seed for these 
 four "Illinois" breeding plots there have been analyzed during the 
 ten years 4990 individal ears. Of these, 756 ears have been se- 
 lected and subjected to performance test in the breeding plots and 
 the records of these tests form a most interesting and instructive 
 series. The importance of placing these data on record by pub- 
 lication rests not alone upon their direct connection with the sub- 
 ject matter in hand. There are many obscure problems in this 
 work of corn breeding of intensely practical significance upon which 
 we may hope to secure light by a study of such heredity records as 
 these, and in the study of the broader problems relating to the 
 general subject of heredity there has been a lack of just such specific 
 statistical data as these analyses afford. Already they have fur- 
 nished excellent material for some such studies and naturally their 
 value as such will ever increase with their accumulation. There- 
 fore it seems advisable to present the essential detailed data of these 
 experiments, preferably incorperated in systematic arrangement in 
 an appendix where they may be referred to at pleasure, rather than 
 encumbering the text of the bulletin with such a mass of statis- 
 tical material. 
 
 . The following tables are so arranged in series that the com- 
 plete history of each strain of the breeding is shown by itself. For 
 each year there is given a record of the breeding plot in a table 
 showing the analyses of the seed ears planted and of the cor- 
 responding crops harvested. Immediately following this table is 
 a second one in which are listed the analyses of all of the ears ex- 
 amined from that breeding plot for the selection of seed ears to be 
 planted in the succeeding year's plot. 
 
 By this arrangement it is made possible with the system of 
 "Register Numbers" and "Dam Numbers" previously explained, to 
 readily find the relationships of all the ears ever produced in each 
 of the four strains. 
 
 The first table gives the complete analyses of the 163 original 
 ears from which the four strains of corn were started and a column 
 is adde'd to indicate to which of the breeding plots each of the se- 
 lected ears is assigned. Following this table are given the series of 
 records for the high-protein plot, low-protein plot, high-oil plot 
 and low-oil plot in the order named. 
 
490 BULLETIN No. 128. [September, 
 
 The "Annual Ear No." in these records correspond to the 
 "Corn No." as used in Bulletin 55 and, as previously explained, 
 this is simply a temporary number used while working with the 
 corn for the selection and has no permanent significance, there is 
 no necessity for changing the back records in this respect and so 
 these old numbers are retained. They begin in the first table with 
 No. 76 and run in the order of the rows of the breeding plot, 
 that is in the order of their mother ears or "Dam Numbers." 
 
 In the first year usually four ears were analyzed from each plot- 
 row and every fifth number was given to the composite sample rep- 
 resenting the row as will be seen in the tables of 1897. In the 
 years following, up to 1903, nine ears were analyzed from each 
 plot-row and every tenth number was given to the corresponding 
 composite sample. In 1903 the new system was adopted in which 
 the "Annual Ear Number" begins with I each year and ten ears 
 are anaylzed from each selected plot-row with no provision for 
 composite sample numbers., within the series. In 1905 another 
 modification was introduced in which 20 ears instead of 10 are 
 analyzed from each selected plot-row. 
 
 In the tables of analyses all ears that have been selected for 
 seed are indicated by their assigned "Register Nos." being placed 
 in the column opposite. 
 
 In order to illustrate the working of this system of records 
 let us suppose that it be desired to trace the pedigree record of 
 a given ear. We may take as an example the first ear analyzed 
 from the high-protein plot in 1906 and registered as No. 1102. 
 We see immediately that the "dam" or mother of this ear was 
 No. 1004. By reference to the plot record of the year 1906 we 
 find that the ear with Register No. 1004 had a protein content of 
 17.39 percent and that its "dam" was No. 914. Turning now to 
 the plot record of the previous year we find that Register No. 914 
 had 17.73 percent of protein and by the corresponding "Dam No." 
 we are referred to No. 811 of the preceding generation. Following 
 along in this manner through the preceding generations we finally 
 trace the complete maternal pedigree back to the beginning of the 
 breeding. Thus we find the pedigree record with respect to the 
 protein content of this ear registered as No. 1102 to run as follows :
