...George Harrison Shull, professor of botany and genetics at Princeton University, gave hybrid corn to the world free of charge. But the U. S. Department of Agriculture pointed out last week-just for fun-that if old Dr. Shull had received a royalty of only 1? an acre for the 25,000,000 U. S. acres planted to hybrid corn in 1939, he would have taken in $250,000-a tidy income for a scientist. In 1939 Iowa planted 77% of her total corn acreage to hybrid corn, Indiana planted 60%, Illinois and Ohio 57% each...
...Chicago, Henry Shull registered for his junior year at Northwestern University, planned to continue paying his way through college with prizes he has won in 59 contests during the past five years...
...would like to inform you of an error in the Jan. ii issue of your fine magazine. In that issue there is a picture of two of the famous scientific Shull brothers looking at a kymograph. You have erred in the captioning of this. The one using the apparatus is a Government botanist (J. M. Shull) as you said, but the other, Dr. G. H. Shull, is not a geneticist from the U. of Michigan but is instead a plant geneticist of Princeton University...
...easy to see how you made this mistake since the four brothers were present at the Atlantic City convention. The other two are Dr. A. F. Shull, an animal geneticist, and Dr. C. A. Shull, a plant physiologist of Chicago University. (Dr. A. F. Shull is the geneticist of the University of Michigan...
...news last week to two international learned bodies?the International Congress of Eugenics meeting in Manhattan's American Museum of Natural History and the International Congress of Genetics meeting at Cornell (Ithaca, N. Y.). There are 23,000 primroses in the gardens, whose complete genealogical histories Professor George Harrison Shull sedulously registers. From those histories statisticans deduce laws of heredity which govern primroses, peas, pigs and people. The Japanese beetles were injuring the primroses. Professor Shull obtained a grant-in-aid from the National Research Council to buy some beetle poison...
