. Annual report of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station, Ithaca, Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). Seed Corn for Grain and Silage. 3^3 few kernels should be removed from the center of the ear, and their shape and uniformity examined. The kernels should not be square, because they leave wide spaces between the rows. (Fig. 360, C.) They should not be round for the same reason. (Fig. 360, B.) They should not be too pointed, for that interferes with their proper development. A proper slant to the sides of the kernel like that of the keystone of an arch, will permit the kernels to fit close together around the cob, and thus occupy a minimum space. This shape and compact arrangement of kernel appears to be correlated with great depth and weight of kernel. (Fig. 360, A.) The narrow side of the kernel is also to be considered. On this side the edges should be parallel from crown to base. (Fig. 361, A.) A kernel pointed on this side is objectionable for the same reason as is one pointed on the broad side. (Fig. 361, B.).
