hibit their product at the Omaha show.
For the information of the farmers
prizes, the publicity department of the
exposition has issued the following:
Select the type of ears that indicate
the largest possible yield consistent
with safe maturity and type character
istic The exhibitor should study type
characteristics and undertake to Sc
lect the entire number Of ears re-
quired for each entry of a uniform
character that indicates the strongest
breed or type. 1t is unfortunate to
have even single ear showing mix
ture. The out-cross may be earlier
or later than the true type and may
cause the progeny to revert or degen-
crate toward a mongrel
Do not get the idea that "Show"
corn is different from the type of corn
that ought to go into the planter
boxes.
Many Judges to be Used.
The National Corn exposition judges
will be selected from different states
and will be guided by the score card
standard that prevails in your respec-
tive state. 1t is suggested that you
write your state Experiment station
and ask for a copy of score card
which explains the standard in detail
The judge from each state will at
tempt to place the award upon the
type of corn that will give the largest
yield, consistent with safe maturity
| in your respective state.
| While it is important to have ears
of corn showing straight rows, and
tips and butts we'll filed out in strong
uniform way, these points are not as
important as many exhibitors think.
The shape of ear should be cylindri-
cal and slightly tapering toward the
| tip: The length and circumference
should be as large as it is safe to
grow in your district and mature be
fore freezing weather.
! Select Good Ears.
Kernels should be reasonably uni
form in width, thickness and depth
The depth and shape of kernel and
size of cob determines the relative
amount of shelled corn per bushel
However, kernels should not be toe
deep for safe maturity in your district
Excessive starchiness. chaffy or i'm
mature ears must be avoided.
Use great care to select ears thai
have not been frozen. or frosted, fol-
even light frost while there is yet
excessive moisture in the ear may en-
tirely destroy the vitality.
Ears should be, in good market con

from moisture.
