Uniformity in Size and Shape of Kernels. The size and shape of all kernels of each ear and of all kernels on all the ears in a sample should conform to the variety type and be uniform throughout the sample. This will insure more even stand in planting. 5. Purity of Color of Grain. In color, the kernels should be free from mixture and also true to the variety which they represent. 6.

This will insure more even stand in planting. 5. Purity of Color of Grain. In color, the kernels should be free from mixture and also true to the variety which they represent. 6. Straightness of Rows. The rows of kernels should run straight from butt to tip; any twisting of the rows around the ear is objectionable. 7. Arrangement of Rows. This depends upon the variety. For example, Reid's Yellow Dent is distinctly paired, while Golden Eagle is arranged in single rows. 8. Form and Filling of Tips. A tip well filled with uniforn; kernels indicates proper development of the ear and a relatively high proportion of corn to cob. It should con- form to the variety. The kernels should keep their shape and size well out toward the tip of the ear. This is strong evidence of good breeding. 9. Form and Filling of Butts. A butt well filled with uni- form kernels indicates more complete development of the ear. Variety type should be TYPES OF KERNELS.
