A GREAT CORN SHOW.
feiiow Varieties In the Lead-A
Question of the Score Card.

| 'oAfCtftH tne Lead-A
question of the Score Card.
The greatest corn show in the history
or the state Is the record the Peoria
people made this year with their corn
show. There were over 100 individual
exhibitors. who showed something like
400 samples of high grade corn. Not
only was the magnitude of the disploy
surprising, but the quality as well. In
spite OF the very unfavorable season
the corn shown exceeded in uniformity
and trueness to type anything ever ex-
hiDited before. This speaks we'll for
the work of Illinois corn breeders.
The yellow varieties undoubtedly lead
when it comes to a matter of showing
corn. While this Is not always the
case, as rule yellow corn scores high |
er than white when the two kinds come |
In competition in the same class. The
exhibitors were. of course more nu-
merous In the yellow class and the corn
possibly of little higher quality than
the white, although some exceedingly
hne white corn was exhibited.
The showing Of corn on the stalk was
an interesting one. as were also the or
exhibits made from the corn
plant. This years show again demon.
strated the necessity Of revision of
the score card and of the classification.
For Reds Yellow Dent. for example.
The standard for circumference is seven
inches and the length ten. Now. any
me knows that an ear seven inches in Z
Is too small for large
