necessary to write a number on every

necessary to number every ear if the
ears are kept in order while the test
is going on.
After the kernels for testing have
been taken from this row of ears, a
second lot of ears can be laid on top
of the first row. A layer of news
papers should be put on the first row
before laying the second lot of ears
on top so it will keep them from get
