Corn Show on at City Hall.

|
White corn, yellow corn, red corn
speckled corn, pop corn, wheat and
oats in several varieties, speltz anC
other grains, in baskets, bags and
boxes were shown at the Norfolk corn
exhibit at the city hall Monday after
| noon.
The corn and grain was judged by
c. w. Pugsley of Lincoln, superin
tendent of Nebraska grain exhibits
After making the awards Mr.. Pugsley
lecturCd on corn culture.
In passing on the corn Mr. Pugsley
dwelt on a feature which was not
familiar to local farmers, namely that
however valuable the corn might be
for feeding or selling purposes, yet it
was prime necessity for exhibition
purposes that the corn be uniform in
size, regular in kernels and well filled
out at the butts and tips. Corn judges
base their awards more on appearances
than yields or feeding values,
AS he went over the various exhibits
he made running remarks to the audi
enCe of farmers in attendance. This
type" he said, may be excellent for
general purposes, but not for exhibit
ton. This ear, for instance, is too
long, and this one too large, The latter
has too much cob. What you should
strive for is a ure type, uniform in
size and with regularity in kernels"
Mr.. Pugsley held up another ear in
sight of his audience and remarked
"The kernels of this ear are too wide,
which shows a shallowness of grain"
And so he went through the exhibits
showing various defects from corn
experts view of the various exhibits.
He said for exhibition purposes corn
should not be over nine and ten
inches in length.
The Exhibits.
Tie two largest exhibits were mad
