be square and sides OF the kernel should
carry down straight from crown to tip
of shoulders. rounding crown gives
a smooth appearance and indicates a

The kernels should be uniform In
the exhibit. This will insure more even
stands and the corn from such seed
will mature at more nearly the same
time than If uneven kernels are plant
ed.
The character of the dent should
conform to the variety OF the type yOI

and the rougher the dent.
The rows of kernels should run
straight from butt to tin. the butt and
tip of ear should be we'll filled.

3 Has it vitality: will it terminate;
will it grow uniformly, giving strong,
vigorous plants?
Boys and girls. it will be worth your
time to study the above carefully In
