Excerpt from Crossed CornCrossing two distinct types of animals or of plants almost always causes an increase in vigor. This has long been known and used in the production of mules, sterile hybrids of the horse and the ass. Swine breeders often utilize the beneficial effects of hybrid vigor by crossing different breeds of pigs, feeding for market the hybrid offspring but not breeding from them.The same principle can be used in increasing the yield of corn and the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station has been working for many years to find the best methods of utilizing hybrid vigor and to produce strains of corn for crossing that give high yields adapted to the cultural and market requirements of this region.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
