THE BUTT (5) An ear whose butt is covered with kernels of nearly the same shape and size as those of the body of the ear. These kernels should be uniformly arranged and fit closely about the shank. This ear should be of the desirable size given in (i) and of the desirable shape given in {£), since it repre- sents simply another step toward the ideal ear which we hope at last to find. (3) An ear whose butt is covered with irregular or " blocky " kernels which do not fit closely about the shank. A butt of the desirable kind described in (3) in- sures greater uniformity in the size and shape of the kernels of the ear, the importance of which has already been stated. Moreover, in a butt of this description there is less waste space between the kernels both because of the greater uniformity of kernels in size and shape and because of their close arrangement about the Fig. G4. — An ear of desirable size and shape, having a desirable butt and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cunningham, Jules Cool, 1879-; Lancelot, William Henry, 1874-.
