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

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.
