The tip kernels are likely to be f1inty
and of a pop corn shape, which is I'M
desirable in dent corn. If bare tips
are noticeable to quite an extent
throughout the field, it may be due to
the fact that the silks representing
the tip kernels which were formed last
were too late to receive the pollen to
fertilize them. If ears having defec-
tive tips are used for seed, their I'M
desirable characters will soon become
permanent. Open tips usually accom-
pany shallow and irregular kernels on
the ear which makes the kernels on
that part of the ear undesirable for
planting, on account of lack of uni
formity
In Judging the character of the bait
of an ear of corn, the way in which
the rows come over towards the shank
is important. If the corn comes in
too close, the ears may drop off the
stalk during the ripening and not full
ly mature. All ears which have butts
improperly filed should be rejected.
Corn breeders in desiring to get a
large proportion of corn to the cob,
often choose ears with too small an at
tachment for the shank. The butt and
the tip kernels are rejected for plant
ing, because they are more likely to
be mixed with other varieties and
owing to their peculiar formation, they
are not uniform, and interfere in the
planting. They also seem weaker in
termination and are more tardy in

far the prettiest coiffures. The simple
Greek hairdressing, with the hair part

rolled up in a soft pouf. low down at
the ears, with just knot or coil be-
