Corn Development at Purdue
Receiving Major Attention
uue ui me uiusi sigmiicam ad
vances in American agricultural
research since the development
of hybrid corn four decades ago
has been made by scientists at
Purdue University.
Purdue researchers have an
nounced the development of a
new type of corn with a better
quality protein than that in va
rieties currently produced com
mercially.
The new type, called high
lysine com, makes pigs grow
more than three times faster
than pigs fed regular hybrid
com. Even more significant are
experiments involving children
in Guatemala, which disclosed
that the protein value of high
lysine com is equivalent to that
of skim milk.
Guatemala, a country of hun
gry people, depends upon com
to furnish 70 percent of the av
erage citizen’s protein. On the
basis of experiments thus far,
Purdue scientists are enthusias
tic about high-lysine corn of
fering better diets for millions
of hungry people in under-de
veloped countries.
A. D. Stuart, extension corn
specialist at North Carolina State
University and a member of the
Tar Heel delegation recently at
tending the high-lysine confer
ing in town, their home place.
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Morris and
Craigh spent last week with
their daughter and her husband,
Mr. and Mrs. Pollard Cannon at
Hampton, Virginia.

Mrs. Ida Pearl Kinlaw of
Elizabethtown spent a few days
with Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Mitchell
and Miss Alma Mattocks.
ence at ruraue, says the new
type of corn is the product of
research for nearly a decade. Its
concentration of lysine, an es
sential amino acid, is twice as
great as regular hybrid corn.
According to the specialist,
the new type which is also call
ed opaque-2, contains a gene for
the greater amount of lysine. It
has soft starch and appears to
have lower yields of grits and
meal.
Stuart points out that the dis
covery of the new corn variety
has motivated other scientists
to look for high-lysine contents
in other grain crops. One such
crop is Atlas 66 wheat which was
grown in the Tar Heel state sev
eral years ago.
North Carolina grain produc
ers will have to wait several
years before trying the new va
riety. Stuart says it will proba
bly take five or six years to in
corporate the lysine genes into
our popular hybrids.
With the latest development
scientists are optimistic about
corn, already one of the na
tion’s most valuable crops. It
is not only one of the biggest
crops in terms of quantity and
financial return to farmers in
the United States, but also the
basic feed for our multi-billion
dollar meat animal and dairy in
dustries.
Products of corn have more
uses in both food and nonfood
industries than those of any
other crop. Corn products go
into automobiles, airplanes, mis
siles, medicines, metals, paper,
petroleum, rubber, ships, tex
tiles, military uniforms, mess
kits, and even organdy wedding
gowns.
