  • The Relative Ripening Rate of the Grain and Straw of Ten Varieties Of
    The relative ripening rate of the grain and straw of ten varieties of oats by Frank C Petr A THESIS Submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Agronomy Montana State University © Copyright by Frank C Petr (1952) Abstract: Ten varieties of oats were compared for rapidity of dessication of the straw following maturity of the grain at Bozeman in 1951. Moisture content of the grain and straw was determined at nine consecutive 3-day intervals commencing 30 days after the heading date of each variety. The oat varieties were assigned maturity ratings of early, midearly, midseason, midlate, and late on the basis of heading date. The moisture content of the straw decreased slowly at successive stages and remained relatively high for all varieties throughout the experiment. No significantr differences in straw moisture at the final harvest were evident between varieties. The moisture content of the grain receded rapidly in all the varieties during the first four 3-day intervals. During the 24 days between the first and final harvest of each variety the grain moisture decreased from an average of 43.2 percent to 17.0 percent. The developmental period of the kernel apparently was shorter in Maganski 044 than in the other varieties in the test as indicated by the tendency of the grain to start dessicating in a shorter time after heading. Differential shattering resulting from hail was observed. Mission and Aberystwyth S84 were most resistant. Mission apparently derived its shatter resistance from its Markton parent, which was.

  • Why Serious Bakers Have Mother Issues Andrea Strong
    Why Serious Bakers Have Mother Issues Andrea Strong A sourdough starter, also known as a "mother." [Photograph: Shutterstock] They came from all over Europe—a village in Poland, a farm in Tuscany, a town in Bordeaux. They were carried across the continent, and trekked from the Old Country to the New World. There were arrests and clashes with the police. But through a combination of luck and love, they arrived in New York City where they now work quietly, often in the small hours of the morning. Not many people have even seen them; just a modest, elite group of artisans truly know them intimately. The bakers know their mothers, and these are their stories. But, wait, perhaps I should clarify. These aren't their actual mothers, as in the women who gave birth to them, who raised them, who are now, undoubtedly, the subject of therapy for one 45- minute hour per week. No, no. These are their "mothers"—also known as madre, seed, chef, and levain. Natural yeasts starters destined for some of the world's best sourdough breads, typically born of a combination of apples, grapes, and honey, left to ferment on a warm windowsill and grow a frosting of wild yeast and Lactobacillus bacteria. Yup, those mothers. [Photograph: Vicky Wasik] Mind you, starters do share qualities often associated with matriarchs (...and pets)—they often inspire love-hate relationships marked by serious dependency. Unlike commercial yeast, which requires little more than sugar and warm water to activate, mothers are needy. They demand regular feedings of flour and water in order to produce the organic acids, alcohols, and carbon dioxide necessary to make bread do that cool thing it does: rise.

Cookery is considered to be both an art and science. The art of cooking is ancient. The first cook was a primitive man, who had put a chunk of meat close to the fire, which he had lit to warm himself. He discovered that the meat heated in this way was not only tasty but it was also much easier to masticate. From this moment, in unrecorded past, cooking has evolved to reach the present level of sophistication. Humankind in the beginning ate to survive.
