Book Description
"This bulletin reports the results of the 1952 Iowa Corn Yield Test in which the performance of 219 different corn hybrids was compared. The state was divided into four sections, each of which was subdivided into three districts. A test field was planted in each district. Each hybrid entry was tested in all three districts of a section. The map shows how we divided the state into sections and districts and the approximate location of the farm where the hybrids were compared. Any producer of hybrid corn seed was eligible to enter his corn in the test. The widely grown hybrids in each section also were entered by the Iowa Crop Improvement Association. In the back of the bulletin you will find an index listing hybrids tested in 1952. The index also indicates whether the hybrid is a single, three-way, double or multiple cross." -- p. [858]

Book Description
"Successful pork production depends first upon selection of good breeding stock. The breeding stock selected should have the inherent ability to produce and nurse large litter that will use feed efficiently. Equally important are proper feeding and management of the brood sow and her litter." p. [415]

Book Description
"In 1953 we tested 229 corn hybrids in the Iowa Corn Yield test. Each hybrid was tested at a minimum of three locations. The division of the state into districts and sections is shown on the map. Seven characteristics of each hybrid were recorded and summarized. These included yield, stand, moisture, root and stalk lodging, ear height and dropped ears. Each hybrid was ranked by a performance score based on yield, moisture and resistance to lodging and dropped ears. You will find records in the tables showing how each hybrid performed for the above characteristics. An index listing the hybrids tested in 1953 is given in the back of this bulletin. A majority of the entries in the test were made by commercial hybrid corn companies. The Iowa Crop Improvement Association also entered 10 widely grown hybrids in each section as determined by a survey of farmers. The purpose of the Iowa Corn Yield Test is to determine the performance of hybrids. It is not a contest and should not be confused with the 5-acre Iowa Master Corn Growers Contest." -- Foreword, p.
