MORE ABOUT THE
SEED CORN CONTEST

After Judging the seed corn exhibit at
the fair DIR. &. u Gravatt, of Port ROYAL
by request, gave "a lecture explaining the
essential features OF corn Judging. and
also took occasion To urge the necessity
OF continued effort II increase the aver
age yield OF corn ia Virginia, which. he
stated, Is at present only % bushels To
the acre as against 33 bushels In Mary
land and b bushels IN New York. al
though the natural cOndi tiOns for grow
ing the crop are less favorable in those
States than here in Virginia IL was
pointed out shat O decided increase OF
yield may be gained by careful seed selec-
ton, by systematic soil Improvement
aAd by more thorough preparation of
the seed-bod and better cultivation OF the
crop than are now ordinarily given.
Livery ear OF each sample of 10 ears
was Inspected as To shape, color, deiec-
tive grains, disposition OF kernels In the
rows and the filling out at tips and butts.
An average ear was taken from the sam
pie and weighed. Then individual ker-
nels We're examined as to their shape and
uniformity The farmers were told by
DIR. Gravatt, who is Il clear aud forceful
speaker. that the wedge-shaped kernels
with nearly square corners are most de-
sirable as giving the least lost space and
hence greater percentage of corn. The
ear was next broken in half !or further
examination of the disposition and spac-
ing of the kernels. All of the Kernels
were shelled from the cob and weighed.
The difference between this weight and
that of the whole ear represents the
weight OF the cob, and thus the precent-
age OF corn to the cob is readily ascer-
tanned and any deviation from the stand
ard. so per cent determined. This per-
centage is one of the most important
counts on the score card.
DIR. Gravatt stated that the exhibits
were highly creditable and would meas.
ure up we'll In any exhibition.
