4 COLOR OF KERNEL.-Under
our conditions this point must be
judged leniently at present. An ear
showing ten kernels of color should
be disqualified.
COLOR OF COB.-All cobs should
be of one color. Two cobs of color
will disqualify the exhibit.
). TIP OF EAR.-But little stress
should be laid upon this at present.
A full cut is one-half point for each
ear.
6. BUTT OF EAR.-The size and
shape of the civity and the uniformity
of the kernels surrounding the butt
should be carefully considered. One
half a point per ear constitutes full
cut
| 7. UNIFORMITY OF EXHIBIT
All ears should be of the same size,
color and form Cut one point for
each ear off type.
s. SHAPE OF KERNEL-The kerr
mel should be slightly, not decidedly
wedge shaped with clean cut edges.
A full cut is one-half point per ear.
9. DEPTH OF KERNEL-A deep
kernel is necessary for a good she'll
ing test The ratio noted in the score
card is a good standard to follow. A
full cut is one-half point per ear.
ID. SPACING OF KERNELS
Close spacing is necessary to give
good Smelling test. Too close spacing,
however, may prevent proper drying.
A full cut is one-half a point per ear.
IL. UNIFORMITY OF KERNELS.
Uniformity of kernels is essential as
it affects the rate Of dropping by the
planter. A full cut is one-half point
per ear.
-. MATURITY AND MARKET
| c ONDITIONS.-As we require early
maturing corn in Idaho, this is very
important. The maturity can be
judged by twisting the ear. The solid
ear is mature. full cut is one and
One-half points per ear.
In selecting ears for exhibition do
not take the largest ears because in
so doing you may overlook some
points that are of greater Importance
under our conditions Select a uni
form sample though it does not rep
resent your largest corn. Such a
sample shows good breeding and wise
selection and is sure to take the eye
of the judge.

| l. Wheat should weigh so pounds
per bushel. Cut two points for every

2. Cut two points for every per
cent of weed seeds and broken, smut
or unsOund grains.
3. An ounce sample is to be taken
and divided into three parts: al
berries hard and Yitrious, (2l berries
soft and starchy, 90 berries inter
mediate. Let the class having the
highest per cent in numbers or weight
determine the classification of the
sample. Cut one point for each pei
cent presenting the other two classes
| A. In case of a mixture of coloFi
cut two points for each per cent of
color.
