H. DUNCAN, R. O. SNELLING, W. J. MUMM, J. H. BIGGER, and A. L. LANG* FOR THE FIRST time in the history of the hybrid corn program, Illinois farmers planted over a million acres of their corn land with hybrid seed in 1937. For the 1938 season it is estimated that 700,000 bushels of hybrid seed will be available, as against 180,- 000 bushels in 1937, and less than 5,000 for the 1935 planting. This shift to hybrid corn means that many farmers who formerly selected their seed from fields of open-pollinated corn on their own farms are now depending on purchased seed, and they are finding a large number of hybrids on the market from which to choose, many of which are good, some of which are definitely superior to the better open-pollinated varieties, and still others of which are no better than the open-pollinated varieties. The field tests reported herein have therefore been made in order to help the farmer to choose those strains of corn that have outstanding merit, and to help the producer in his efforts to develop such strains. They are a part of a corn-improvement program conducted in coopera- tion with the Division of Cereal Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, and the Illinois State Natural History Survey. The data for the three previous years of these tests are reported in Bulletins 411, 427, and 429 of this Station. SCOPE OF THE TESTS Three hundred thirty-two different kinds of corn were tested in twenty-one fields in the 1937 tests. Of these, 30 were open-pollinated varieties and 302 were hybrids. These figures represent 106 more hybrids than were included in the 1936 tests and 8 fewer open-polli- nated varieties. The open-pollinated varieties were entered by twenty- eight companies and individuals. Twenty-six producers furnished the seed of the hybrids. In the accompanying tables the entries designated as in the "Reg- ular division" comprize those that may be considered in commercial '<",. H.

One hundred sixty-eight hybrids and all the open-pollinated varieties come in this class. Those hybrids of which only small amounts of seed have been pro- duced and which for this reason are not available for commercial planting are grouped in the "Experimental division." A total of 134 hybrids fall in this group. In each of the seventeen grain-testing fields except Golconda at least five locally adapted open-pollinated varieties were included. The performance of the open-pollinated entries furnishes a standard for evaluating the performance of the hybrids. At Golconda and in the soil-adaptation tests at least one good open-pollinated variety was included to serve as a check. LOCATION OF FIELDS The 1937 testing fields were located in the same general areas as in 1935 and 1936, some of them on the same farms. Two new fields were added one at Brocton in Edgar county, where white hybrids and open-pollinated varieties were tested, and one at Golconda in Pope county in the extreme southern part of the state. The fields were on the whole relatively high in productivity. The map on the back cover shows the location of the fields. Some general information about them is given in Table 1. SOIL CHARACTERISTICS OF TESTING FIELDS In locating the testing fields effort was made to select soil types that occur extensively in the regions of the fields. Furthermore care was used to have each field as nearly uniform as possible in both soil type and drainage conditions. This necessitated the selection of nearly level or gently sloping areas in order to avoid poorly drained or eroded spots. Exceptions were encountered at Alhambra, a permanently located University crop experiment field, which is dotted with numer- ous small gray areas called "slick spots," and at Golconda, where no field of satisfactory, uniformity could be located. General information on soil type and drainage characteristics, and on acidity, nitrogen, organic-matter, phosphorus, and potassium con- tents 1 for each testing field is given in Table 2, page 354. Brief man- agement practices are indicated in the last column of this table. Drainage is described as "rapid," "moderate," and "slow." When applied to the surface, "rapid drainage" indicates a tendency to erode, 'HERMAN WASCHER, Assistant Chief in the Soil Survey, and GUY D. SMITH, Associate, determined the soil type, uniformity, and physical characteristics of each field. H. J. SNIDER, Assistant Chief in Soil Experiment Fields, made the chemical analyses. 1938] ILLINOIS CORN PERFORMANCE TESTS 1937 353 Table 1.

When applied to underdrainage, "rapid" indicates free movement of excess ground water to tile but retention of sufficient moisture for normal plant growth, and "slow" indicates a nearly impervious subsoil. SEASONAL CONDITIONS The 1937 growing season was one of the most favorable on record for the development of corn. Excessive rainfall and relatively cool weather at and immediately following the normal planting period caused planting to be delayed in some sections and encouraged the growth of weeds while the corn plants were small, but a slight defi- ciency following this period enabled most growers to clean their corn- fields of the weeds. The moisture deficiency continued into the summer season in some sections of the state; and while some corn showed need for more moisture, normal growth and development were not greatly interfered with in the major corn-producing sections of the state. Temperatures during this part of the growing season were favorable. The fall season was favorable to early harvesting and unfavorable for the development of ear rots and damaged corn. 354 BULLETIN No. 440 [January, Table 2.

Chinch bugs and the southern corn rootworm were responsible for most of the losses. Very little damage was done by grasshoppers, cutworms, and wireworms. On the Alhambra and the Edgewood fields chinch bugs were present in devastating numbers and were chiefly responsible for the relatively low yields obtained there. On these two fields the reaction of the different strains of corn to chinch bug attack was so marked that fairly accurate estimates of the relative degree of damage could be obtained. These estimates, while not conclusive, are sufficiently accur- ate to warrant the attention of corn producers in the area commonly infested with chinch bugs. These estimates of the degree of chinch bug damage were made on September 16, in three replications, and are shown in Table 8, pages 385 to 388. The southern corn rootworm was chiefly responsible for the lodging that occurred during the 1937 season. Many plants were examined in early August when lodging occurred, and all the lodged plants had roots that had been damaged by the rootworm. A count was made of this type of lodging at Cambridge, Adair, Stanford, Brocton, and Albion. For most entries 2 to 4 replications were counted in each of these fields. The results are reported in Tables 5 and 6 and 9 and 10 as "Midseason lodging due to rootworm." The relation of the data on midseason lodging due to rootworm, and the figures showing the rating for erect plants and the percentage of erect plants, should be kept clear. The data on erect plants take into account both uprooting and stalk breaking but not midseason lodging that was followed by a certain amount of recovery. At harvest time most of these plants had recovered to a rather erect position under the favorable growing conditions that prevailed. Some rootworm damage occurred in a few fields other than those just mentioned. Determination of the extent of the damage was com- plicated, however, by other lodging factors, and for that reason no attempt was made to record the lodging that was due to rootworm. METHOD OF PLANTING The methods of conducting the 1937 tests were similar to those used in former years. In order that the trials might be carried on under actual farm conditions, all plots were located within a larger cornfield. The test corn was planted by hand on the same day or soon after the rest of the field was planted. The rows were joined with those of the surrounding corn so that the test plots could be cultivated along with the rest of the field. 356 BULLETIN No. 440 [January, On most fields each entry (variety or hybrid) occupied 10 plots, each plot being 12 hills long and 2 rows wide. At Brocton the plots were 8 hills long instead of 12. When the number of entries was too large for the field, the number of plots of some entries was reduced to five. The entries were arranged in the controlled random order, as described in Bulletin 427. With only a few exceptions all plots of each entry were harvested and the yield of grain from each plot included in determining performance ratings. MEASURING PERFORMANCE OF ENTRIES The entries in 1937 were rated, as in 1935 and 1936, according to two measures of performance erect plants at harvest (lodging resist- ance) and yield of sound corn. Erect Plants. At the time of harvest each plot on the field was examined and the percentage of erect plants estimated. The percent- age of erect plants for a given entry was then computed from the esti- mates of all the replications of that entry. The rating for erect plants (relative lodging resistance) is the ratio, expressed as percentage, of the percentage of erect plants for that entry to the average percentage of erect plants for all the entries on the field. Sound Corn. The entire yield from one replication of each entry was shelled to determine shelling percentage. The corn was shelled on the day it was husked, except at Golconda, where it was shelled the day after husking. All the shelled corn from a plot was poured thru a divider and a representative sample, consisting of one-eighth of the original quantity, taken. This sample was divided into two lots, one of which was used for a moisture test and the other dried and reserved for a determination of damaged corn. The sample saved for the moisture test was preserved in a moisture- tight fruit jar. The moisture determinations were made with a Tag- Heppenstall moisture meter within a few days after the samples were taken. The percentage of damaged corn was determined according to the Federal Grain Grade standards. The total acre-yield was calculated as shelled corn carrying 15.5 percent moisture, the upper limit allowable for No. 2 corn. The yield of sound corn was computed by deducting the amount of damaged corn from the total yield. The rating on sound yield of an entry is the ratio, expressed as percentage, of the yield of sound corn for that entry to the average yield of sound corn for all the entries on the field. General Performance Rating. In computing- the general per- formance rating of an entry, the ratings for erect plants and sound corn were averaged, but the sound-corn rating was given three times 1938] ILLINOIS CORN PERFORMANCE TESTS 1937 357 the weight of the rating for erect plants since differences in yield are more important than differences in resistance to lodging. When two or more entries tied in performance rating, the ties were given the same numerical ranking but they are listed in the order of their descending yield of sound corn. Small Differences Not Significant. All interested in the results of these corn tests are warned against attaching undue importance to small differences in the rank or the yield of various entries. Many people are inclined to give entirely too great weight to the exact placing of an entry, especially if it happens to hold first position in a table, not realizing to what extent chance enters into such placing. In fairness to the many good entries in the tests this year, and every year, it should be pointed out that a difference of a bushel in yield, for instance, or of 3 or 4 percent in general performance rating, is not nearly large enough to prove conclusively that one entry is better than another. While the amount of difference necessary to indicate true superiority or inferiority will vary from field to field, depending upon the number of times an entry is replicated on the field, the general level of yield on the field, and the extent to which the yields of the various replica- tions of the entry varied, it may be said that in these tests a difference of 6.5 bushels between two entries replicated 10 times, or a difference of 10 bushels between two entries each replicated 5 times, or of 8.5 bushels between two entries one of which is replicated 10 times and one 5 times, would be somewhere near the border line between a chance and a significant difference. In the sectional averages, where entries from two or three fields are brought together, differences roughly two-thirds as large as those indicated above for the individual fields would be considered on the border line of significance. Readers should keep these facts in mind when passing judgment on the entries in these tests. 1937 RESULTS IN GRAIN TESTS In the northern Illinois tests, at Stockton, Kings, and Plainfield, the five best hybrids exceeded the five best open-pollinated varieties by 16.9 in percentage 1 of erect plants and by 13.9 bushels of sound corn per acre. In general performance rating 58 hybrids were above and 3 below the five best open-pollinated varieties. In north-central Illinois, at Cambridge, Henry, and Dwight, the five best hybrids exceeded the five best open-pollinated varieties by 30.6 in percentage of erect plants and by 14.5 in bushels of sound 'Thruout this discussion on results, the differences cited in percentages are the result of merely subtracting one percentage from the other. 358 BULLETIN No. 440 [January, corn. In general performance all 73 hybrids proved superior to the five best open-pollinated varieties. In central Illinois, at Adair, Stanford, and Armstrong, the five best hybrids exceeded the five best open-pollinated varieties by 23.2 in percentage of erect plants and by 14.3 in bushels of sound corn. In general performance 78 hybrids ranked above and only one below the five best open-pollinated varieties. In south-central Illinois, at Jacksonville and Sullivan, the five best hybrids exceeded the five best open-pollinated varieties by 31.5 in percentage of erect plants and by 15.4 in bushels of sound corn. In general performance 68 hybrids ranked above and none fell below the five best open-pollinated varieties. In southern Illinois, where seasonal conditions and insect numbers were somewhat unfavorable for corn production, and where the central Illinois hybrids are not so well adapted, the five best hybrids exceeded the five best open-pollinated varieties by 17.2 in percentage of erect plants and by 4.5 in bushels of sound corn. In general performance only 39 of the 54 hybrids were superior to the five best open-pollinated varieties. The average for all five sections of the state showed the five best hybrids 23.9 points above the five best open-pollinated varieties in percentage of erect plants and 12.5 bushels higher in yield of sound corn. The above statements are based on data in Tables 4 to 8, pages 364 to 388. In addition to the grain tests reported in these tables, others were made in northeastern Illinois near Libertyville, in south- eastern Illinois near Albion, and in the extreme southern part of the state near Golconda. White corn hybrids and open-pollinated varieties were tested near Brocton, in central Illinois. The Libertyville field (Table 3, page 363) is representative of the lake-breeze area of the state. Earliness, or capacity to grow in cool weather, is a characteristic of adapted varieties in this region. Of the 61 entries on this field, 55 proved superior to the average of the five best open-pollinated varieties. The five best hybrids excelled the five best open-pollinated varieties by 24.4 in percentage of erect plants and by 14.4 in bushels of sound corn. The moisture content of the grain at harvest was higher on the Libertyville field than on any other test field in the state. At Albion, representing the productive bottomland soils of south- eastern Illinois (Table 10, page 390), the five best hybrids proved superior to the five best open-pollinated varieties by 29.7 in percentage of erect plants and by 10.8 bushels in yield of sound corn. All the hybrid entries except two ranked above the average of the five best open-pollinated varieties in general performance rating. The Golconda field (Table 11, page 391) is located on silt and 1938] ILLINOIS CORN PERFORMANCE TESTS 1937 359 fine sandy loam bottomland soil of the Ohio river basin. Because of its apparent irregularity in productivity a check variety, St. Charles White, was planted in every seventh plot. Five plots of the other entries were grown and each was compared with the nearest plot of St. Charles White. In percentage of erect plants St. Charles White exceeded the average of the five best hybrids by 14.0, but it fell below the five best hybrids by 16.6 bushels in yield of sound corn. Only three hybrids exceeded St. Charles White in percentage of erect plants, but all 31 other entries were superior to St. Charles White in yield of sound corn. At Brocton, in central Illinois, where white hybrids and varieties were in test, 25 hybrids excelled the five best open-pollinated varieties. The five best hybrids produced an average of 8.7 bushels more of sound corn than the five best open-pollinated varieties, and in percent- age of erect plants they exceeded the five best open-pollinated varieties by 16.8 points. For the Brocton data see Table 9, page 389. RESULTS IN SOIL ADAPTATION TESTS As in the previous seasons, the better hybrids demonstrated that their superiority in yield over open-pollinated varieties is greater on highly fertile soils than on less fertile soils. Most striking in this respect were the yields from the two fields at Sibley. On the field of high productivity, Farm 41, the average yield of sound corn for all entries was 102.7 bushels an acre, or 8.2 bushels more than Station Yellow Dent, an open-pollinated variety. The five highest yielding hybrids on this area were 16.4 bushels above Station Yellow Dent, with an average of 110.9 bushels of sound corn. The average yield of all entries on the field of low productivity, Farm 92, was 50.1 bushels of sound corn, or only one bushel more than Station Yellow Dent. The five best hybrids on Farm 92 were 8.1 bushels better than Station Yellow Dent. At Urbana also the average yields of all entries were widely differ- ent for the two levels of productivity, tho the difference between the five highest hybrids and Station Yellow Dent was not very different for the two areas. The detailed results in these soil-adaptation tests are given in Tables 12 and 13, pages 392 and 393. In the Sibley test the less fertile area was a poor grade of Elliott silt loam, somewhat eroded and very gray. The highly productive area was on Drummer clay loam.- The two areas selected for the test at Urbana differed in productive capacity as a result of the long- continued use of different cropping systems. Corn, oats, clover, and wheat, with a clover catch crop in the wheat, make up the Southwest rotation. Corn, corn, corn, and soybeans constitute the South-Central 360 BULLETIN No. 440 [January, rotation. Slightly more limestone has been applied to the Southwest rotation ; otherwise the supplementary treatments on these two areas have been very similar. Uniformly favorable seasonal conditions prevailed, for the most part, in these areas in 1937. The two Sibley fields were favored by slightly better moisture conditions; but Farm 41, the highly productive area, was subjected to a devastating wind storm in late summer which caused severe lodging of some entries. TWO-YEAR RESULTS IN GRAIN TESTS The two-year summaries on pages 394 and 395, taken with the complete tables for 1936 and 1937, reflect the rapid changes that are being made in hybrid corn production, many of the entries for the 1936 tests not being resubmitted for the 1937 tests apparently because they did not offer sufficient promise. The 14 hybrids that have been entered in the northern Illinois tests in both 1936 and 1937 have all exceeded the average of the five best open-pollinated varieties in percentage of erect plants and yield of sound corn. Their superiority in yield of sound corn ranged from 17.5 bushels for the highest yielding hybrid to 7.3 for the lowest yielding hybrid. In percentage of erect plants the best and the poorest hybrids exceeded the average of the five best open-pollinated varieties by 21.6 and 5.3 points respectively. In north-central Illinois the 23 hybrids that have been in the tests both years have all proved superior to the open-pollinated varieties. The highest and the lowest yielding hybrids exceeded the average of the five best open-pollinated varieties by 15.6 and 3.7 bushels, respec- tively, of sound corn per acre. The superiority of the best hybrid, in percentage of erect plants, was 26.7 and of the poorest hybrid 4.4. Similarly in central Illinois all 23 hybrids exceeded the average of the five best open-pollinated varieties in general-performance rating. The highest yielding hybrid exceeded by 14.4 bushels, and the lowest yielding hybrid just equaled, the average of the five best open-polli- nated varieties. In percentage of erect plants the best and the poorest hybrids exhibited a range of 27.2 to 2.3 in their superiority over the average of the five best open-pollinated varieties. Only eight hybrids are represented in the two-year average in south- central Illinois, and here again all exceeded the five best open- pollinated varieties in general-performance rating. Their range of superiority in sound-corn yield was 14.6 to 1.8 bushels and their range of superiority in percentage of erect plants was 16.9 to 12.1. 1938] ILLINOIS CORN PERFORMANCE TESTS 1937 361 CONTRIBUTORS OF SEED FOR 1937 TESTS Entry Contributor Address Bear Hybrids A.

Furthermore they drive home the fact that if farmers are to continue to benefit from high-yielding hybrids they must attend to their fertility problems as never before, for if yields are better with hybrids than with ordinary corn there will be more fertility taken out of the soil, and yields can be maintained only by replacing the used fertility. 394 BULLETIN No. 440 [January, Table 14.
