| Summary, etc. |
A study of the maize grown by the Hopi, Zuni, and Navajo Indians of New Mexico and Arizona has brought to light an adaptive character that promises to be of economic importance in dry regions where germination is uncertain. These southwestern Indians have preserved from pre-Columbian times a type of maize able to produce fair crops in regions where the better known varieties of the East fail for lack of sufficient water. An important factor in the drought resistance of this type of corn is its ability to force the growing shoot of the seedling to the surface of the soil when planted at a depth of a foot or more. At such depths less specialized varieties die before reaching the surface. The literature of corn contains reports of many experiments conducted to determine the proper depth of planting, but the results are confusing and contradictory. It has generally been realized that the optimum depth is influenced by differences in soil and climate, but that the proper depth might vary with different varieties seems not to have been appreciated. The experiments referred to later, as well as many unpublished data showing the varying behavior of types when planted at different depths, indicate that it is unsafe and unscientific to generalize with respect to cultural factors without taking type, varietal, and even individual differences into account. |
