CORN BBEEDINO. 



[A paper by L. S. Gould, of Waterloo, Neb., 

 read before the American Seed Trade Asao- 

 clatlon at Chicago, June 26, 1012, continued 

 from The Review of July 18.] 



At the end of another year's work, 

 another set of surprises confronts us. 

 Some of our rows have reverted, or 

 "bred Itack," as we say, to a type not 

 apparent in our original stock. Both 

 yield and type are affected. This re- 

 version of type is something that is 

 continually troubling the breeder. 



There is an element in the cell con- 

 struction which is known in animal life 

 as chromosomes, and to which Professor 

 De Vries, of Holland, has given the 

 name of pangenes in vegetable life; it 

 is this which carries the hereditary 

 factors from one generation to another. 

 It would seem that a different set or 

 class of pangenes is responsible for dif- 

 ferent characteristics of the plant or 

 seed. The pangenes may all be active, 

 1,'eneration after generation, or a part 

 of them may be dormant for one or 

 ^ore generations and then, from some 

 cause, become active and bring to the 

 surface a long hidden characteristic. 



Two Kinds of Variation. 



There is another thing that baffles 

 the breeder; there are two kinds of va- 

 Jjiation, fluctuating and evolutional. 

 The fluctuating variation is not heredi- 

 **•■>', while the evolutional is, and may 

 ^|so continue in variation in the same 

 'lirection. For instance, if we wish to 

 produce longer ears of corn, we nat- 

 urally select the longer ones as breed- 

 *''s- Some of these will produce ears
