Relation Of Shape Of Ear to Yield Of
Corn.

The Superintend OF the Texas
substation at Temple, after q careful
study Of the relation OF shape OF ear to
yield OF corn, concludes that slightly
tapering parent ears give the highest
yield. This is in accord with the re-
suits Of experiments at the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station, in which extremely
tapering ears gave slightly higher re-
suits than cylindrical ears. High
yields were associated with compare
lively smooth kernels Of slightly more
tfan average depth and Of medium
horniness The yield increased with
an increase In the total weight Of the
ear as determined by slight increase
IN length, amount Of grain, and rather
marked increase In weight Of cob.
In experiments at the Ohio and Ne
braska experiment stations It was
found that the highest yields were OBJ
tanned with medium to medium long
ears. Poorly filed butts and tips
were more frequently associated with
well-filled butts than with well-hlled
tips 1.-THE old score card placed much
emphasis on good filing Of butts and
tips, but for several years past inves-
tigators have been getting away from
this idea. It has been found that
these characters, when highly devel-
oped, are usually so developed ct the
expense Of more valuable characters,
such as yield, constitution, etc" There
appeared to be no relation between
yield and Smelling percentage and cir
conference and width or thickness Of
kernel.
