As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
The definition of a historian should be something involving an a**hole, sh*t for brains, Obama voter and arrogance of satanic proportions.
I loathe historians, as they appear to be a group of weaklings who hide in some period of history and rewrite it to some biased leftist nuttery, to have it apologize for their race while promoting the local savage who was raping, murdering and worshiping satan.
I came across this bulletin on Google Books, which dealt with a "hog corn" I was interested in, named Dakota White.
My reason for this is, one of my greatest admiration is for an unknown Pioneer who is one of the most amazing men in history. His name is Oscar Will, and he was a sort of a Johnny Appleseed of the Northern Great Plains in developing everything from corn to watermelon, which could survive for settlers, where the eastern and southern varieties failed in being too long season or not able to handle the winds, insects and drought of the Great American Desert.
I do worship Oscar Will of the 19th century, because he was breeding and advancing crops from American Indians, for the feeding and advancement of the American nation which was taming that wilderness.
Oscar Will is the reason states like Montana, North and South Dakota developed. There are few people who that kind of influence on an entire nation, but Oscar Will did, with corn varieties.
A hog corn was a corn planted in the dry plains and when pastures failed in August, these corns would be used to feed the livestock. The flint corns have no value in modern Monsanto agriculture, but the beauty of the genetics are immense for the short season, wind resistance, drought overcoming and cold tolerance.
I have an Arikara White flour corn which amazes me in this starchy corn will germinate in cold soil where other varieties would just rot or lay for warmer weather. The Mandan, Ree and Hidatsa had some wonderful genetics, and they would have been lost if Oscar Will had not saved them, as the Indians had tossed them aside in favor of government handouts.
The reason I am furious over historians in this, is the bulletin has this really left wing disclaimer nonsense which has absolutely no place in history. It Obama apologizes for Squaw Corn in the use of the word squaw.
Squaw is an Indian word, and it means genitals, or twat specifically. That is what Indians termed women as by naming their body part. There is nothing "nigger" about the word, but these white Indian apologists of long ago had to stick that idiotic thing in a history bulletin on historic corns.
* The writers do not sanction the use of the name Squaw. At present the word carries with it a reflection intimating an Indian woman of inferior character. Surely American corn growers will not approve of any disrespect to the good Indian mothers of long ago who adapted corn to our climate.
That type of Obama apology can be frowned over, but when these race apologists start discrediting Oscar Will, it is a matter which will not be allowed.
I will highlight the two key passages which infuriate me. The reality is Mr. Will explains exactly the corn he was given in a multi color Indian corn, which he then developed to the Will's Dakota or Dakota White.
For psychotic reasons, the writers of this bulletin, having just reproduced Mr. Will's factual history, conclude that Mr. Will just had the original white corn of the Mandans, which was not the case in the least!
DAKOTA WHITE FLINT (EARLY FLINT)Synonyms: Will's Dakota, North Dakota White Flint.History.—This corn was originated by Mr. Oscar H. Will of Bismarck, North Dakota, who furnished the authors with the following information regarding it:"In the spring of 1882, Major Fuller secured a small quantity of squaw corn from a friend at Fort Stevenson. Owing to the extremely dry season of 1881 the ears were only about the size of a good sized finger and composed of many colors. I planted this corn the 24th day of June on some vacant lots on Fourth Street above Avenue B in this city. The plot was newly broken and I used a hatchet to plant the corn, by chopping a gash in the sod, twisting the hatchet slightly to make a slot to drop the kernels through and closing it with my foot. Nothing further was required except to harvest, which was done very early in September. The stalk of this corn was very short and the ears came from the first joint at or near the surface, in fact, some of them seemed to come right out of the ground."I made my first selection of the white kernels from this crop which was the beginning of the present Will's Dakota. It was ten years before I got the color perfect. I have always selected for a small cob which shells more corn than the large cob."This corn was first catalogued by Mr. Will in 1886 under the name of "Pride of Dakota,"with the following description: "A white flint corn brought to its present stage of perfection by carefully selecting for four years the finest ears which were the first to ripen, and from such ears selecting the most perfect shaped kernels from the improved white squaw corn. I claim that this corn is the earliest in cultivation. It matures in seventy days."
Thus the Dakota White is the old Mandan corn.As was noted in the discussion of the Mandan corns, they had a variety which theytermed the Hard White. After the advent of the white civilization the Indians neglected their corn culture to a certain extent and allowed the varieties to mix. Mr. Will's selection was probably an isolation of the pure strain of their hard white corn and an improvement of it. This corn has been widely disseminated and is perhaps the earliest flint corn in the Northwest. It will stand more hardship in the way of heat, frost, and poor cultivation than any other variety.
Distribution.—This corn is widely distributed over northern and western North Dakota, southern Manitoba, and the entire cornraising section of Montana.Characteristics.—Early flint; ears 6 to 10 inches long and gently tapering; eight to twelve rows of kernels; kernels white, small, and blocky; cob white; stalks from 28 to 48 inches high, according to season; ears borne from 4 to 10 inches from the ground; numerous suckers and fine leaves.
The reality is in corn genetics, that if one is isolating a multi colored corn that just happens to be a recent hybridization, is that it will not require 10 years to re isolate those colors. What Mr. Will had was a very distinct corn, of spectacular genetics for cold, drought, wind and insect survival. In noting that the Mandans were related genetically to the white Vikings who advanced many Indian tribes in the west, we are dealing with another historical reality not being addressed. What is the fact in this, is the Indians never did advance anything in their plantings or herds. They never bred horses to better the mustang no more than trying to make a better corn in the genetics they possessed.
They could not, as it was not in their mentality to understand such things. That is nothing against the savage, but it is why they are called savages, and why the work of a civilized Oscar Will is so vital.
Regrettably the Oscar Will white corn has lost part of what it was, as it is now an 85 day corn. That is a short season corn by any standards, but this original corn is phenominal in being around 73 days, and as Mr. Will recounts it, he planted it in prairie sod like a weed, and it produced a corn crop.
For those who are unaware of the Bismark meteorology, the June rains have ceased by the end of June. What remains is 100 plus degree drought conditions from July and August, with little rain outside of heavy storms. This corn Mr. Will had literally grew without water.
Think of this in this way. Try planting some corn in your own lawn, with a shovel, not touching it at the end of June and going back to expect a full harvest of corn by September 7th. The Monsanto algae corns could not reproduce those results ever.
This corn grew ears close to the ground for the specific reason of high Dakota Territory winds. These corns were not 9 feet tall genetic creations. These flint weeds were by design to not waste resources on plant growth, but put it all into the corn. Making seed was the main product.
This is so different from the 135 day southern corns which can reach 12 feet, because where there is no wind, plenty of moisture, animals to eat the corn off, so it must be high, those types of corns are what became the American corn crop, moving these Oscar Will corns from the common use.
I make it a point to collect Oscar Will seeds whenever I come across them. It is an amazing thing to touch centuries ago crops and see what he generated. I believe that any of you can find Oscar Will's work in your grocery to this day. Sometime just look in the dry beans section for a bean called Great Northern.
That is an Indian bean which Oscar Will retrieved. It literally has made Illinois hundreds of millions of dollars over the years, and most of you have eaten it.
History is too vital to leave it to leftists with emotional nuttery schisms, especially when it comes to the great work of Oscar Will.
