Rules for Judging Corn

Because of the widely varying condi-
lions in this state it is impossible to
lay down many definite rules of judg-
ing Idaho corn The following, how
ever, may aid the farmer in making
his selections.
1. Smelling Test-This can be de-
termined with considerable accuracy
by judging the weight of the whole ear,
as the cob is lighter than the corn
kernels. Ears showing as high as SO
per cent of shelled corn should be
given a perfect mark. Cut one point
for each per cent below So and above
"a and two for each per cent below
"a.
2. Size Ratio.-For our conditions
the ratio of length to circumference
should be about as four is to three. An
ear eigth inches in length should be
six inches in circumference. The cir
conference is usually measured one
third of the way from the butt to the
tip. A full cut is one-half of one point
per ear.
3. Shape of Ear.-The ear should
be as nearly cylindrical as possible.
Ears varying any considerable amount
from this form should be cut
4. Color of Kernel-Under our con-
ditions this point must be judged leni-
emily at present. An ear showing ten
lrarDalS Of rOlor chouId ha diaonalitiad
Color of Cob-All cobs should be of
one color. Two cobs off color will dis
qualify the exhibit.
5. Tip of Ear,-But little stress
should be laid upon this at present. A
full cut is one-halt point for each ear.
6. Butt of Ear.--The size and shape
of the cavity and the uniformity of the
kernels surrounding the butt should be
carefully considered. one-half point
per ear constitutes a full cut.
Z. Uniformity Of Exhibit-All ears
should be of the same size, color and
form. Cut one point for each ear OF
type.
8. Shape of Kernel.-The kernel
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 good Smelling test
The ratio noted in the score card is a
good standard to follow. A full cut Is
one-half point per ear.
10. Spacing OF Kernels. = Close
spacing is necessary to give a good
Smelling test. Too close spacing, how
ever. may prevent proper drying.
full cut is one-half a point per ear.
IL. Uniformity of Kernels.-Uni
formity is essential as it affects the
rate of dropping by the planter.
full cut is one-half a point per ear.

The Fatality Roll.

With more than half hundred dead
and more than 1000 injured, the Fourth
of July has passed into history.
Had a Japanese descent upon our
western coast resulted in such casual
ty list every available soldier in our
regular and volunteer armies would be
under orders, ready for the first train
to the scene of the conflict. But as
the dead and injured are merely VIC
tins of a misdirected patriotism nobody
pays any attention to the grisly record.
Human life is our cheapest commodity.
Happily. stricter laws now in force
reduced the chapter of accidents of
this year somewhat below the terrible
record of 1908, but there is still room,
for improvement. May the day soon
come when Young America celebrates

danger to himself and Others Chicago
