HPXfXTION OF CORN FOK SHOW PURPOSES. - Extension Work?Article I/V I Those who have had experience In inhibiting samples of corn at the Various corn shows have learned from experience the necessity of' giving attention to the sel?>ctlon and preparation sf their samples for flsSrV >m*posss. Tst there are many Samples uf com exhibited In Sou h Caroline each vesr which have hi.d j almost no selection at all. The first requisite in showing corn Is to have s Isrgc supply of j shucked i**?m to select from, for the larger the pile the greater are the chances of finding good sara It Is trsll to pick at' least two hundred ears from the pile which tho show corn will finally be selected from. Having made this choice, next de? cide which Is ths predominating type of ear In the two hundred. ? - n choose on^ good ear which Is representative ??f this type. Hav? ing decided upon the ear which Is to form the basis of your show Sample, try and select nine gssjgl esrs ss near like It ss possible, as all corn shows require, a ten ear sample. First of all, the ten ears must be uniform lr, size, both In length and circumference, for there Is probably no one thing which at tracta a com judge's attention more j quU kly than a sample composed of j ears of different ?lies. All ears i In Die sample should have grains of the samo color, that is you must . not have yellow grains occurring In 1 ears of white corn, and vice versa. Neither should there be both win*, and red cobs In the same sample. They should all be either white or red. The ears should be of a good sixe And h??avy In weight The butts and tips should be well covered with rows which are composed of regu? lar and uniform grains. It Is al? ways preferable not to have an ex? posed cob at the tip. If the cob Is exposed do not cut it off, for a judge will detect it, and it gives him the impresaion that the sample has !>???? n tampered with. The space between the rows of grains should be nar- | row and straight, preferably not over one thirty-second of an inch wide, for wide rows indicate that the individual grains are rounded, and this Is an undesirable shape. The grains themselves should be I I wedge-shaped and of good depth. As j Levy & Moses, -PURE FOOD GROCERS - Fancy and Staple Groceries Agent* For CANDIES SPECIAL OFFERINGS FOR BARGAIN DAY a rule shallow grains indicate a large cob, which is objectionable. The ears should not he weevil eaten or damaged in any way. After you have secured ten ears which possess the above qualities and which are as near alike as It is pos? sible to get them, each should be completely wrapped In a piece of paper and the entire sample packed In a box and shipped to the author Itles in charge of the contest in which It Is to compete. Owing to the fact that the South Atlantic Corn Show Is only a .few weeks off, It was thought advisable to call attention to a few points which should bo borne in mind by thoso who expect to participate at this show.
