EXPERIMENT STATION .Selecting and Preparing Show Corn. Extension Article No. 97. It has been claimcd by some that the success 01 some corn breeders hat been due not so much to their ability to produce high yields as to theii ability to select winning show sam ples. Now .while a high yield of corn js of primary importance to the farm-1 er, the ability to select a good show sample should not be slighted in an> way. In selecting a sample, the main idea to keep in mind is uniformity.! Uniformity of shape, size, color, ana indentation in one sample will often win over another sample which con tains a lot of very good individual ears which are not alike. See that the ears are of as nearly the same length and circumference as possible. Discard those ears that are not cylindrical in shape, that is, see that they are round and that they ta per as little as possible from butt to tip. Color has reference to both the grains and cobs. In a sample of white corn see that there are no yellow grains or red cobs (unless it be a red cobbed, white variety, which is un usual). In a yellow variety see that there are no white grains or white cobs. In fact, even a pink cob is ob jectionable in yellow corn. The deep, dark red is preferred. The matter of color is even carried further than is indicated in the above sentences, for It is desirable to have the ears of sam ples of the same shade of white or of yellow, as the case may be. By the indentation we mean the wrinkled portion of the top of the grains. See that the ears are of the same roughness or smoothness in this respect. A very sharp grained ear is undesirable, so also is a very smooth grained ear. The next thing to consider is uiu individual ears in the sample. Select only those which are straight. Have the rows of grains running straight up and down the ear. Have the rows of grains running uniformly and even ly out over the butts and tips and to such an extent that the tip is entire ly covered with grains and that a cup-shaped cavity is formed at the butt, where the ear is fastened on to the stalk-; and be sure to see that the space between the rows of grains are as narrow as possible. Finally see that the ears are solid, that is, they should be so firm that you cannot twist them in your hands or move the grains with your fingers. Now take your knife and remove from the ears all pieces of huskb and silks. Cut out all the portion (if the jstalk that remains attached tj llie cob at the butt end. Scrape all the por tions of the cob that you cut with the knife so that the cut is not left smooth and clean. Wrap each ear separately in a piece -??.onanpp and Dack carefully in U1 UcnD|/uj/w. ? a box. If you are so fortunate as to be able to arrange your sample in the show room, put the longest ear on the right and the next longest next to it and so on down, having the shortest ear on the left of the sample. Do not kick if the judges don't give your sample first place, but try to se lect a better sample next time. Prof. M. S. Gardiner.
