The kernels of each ear should conform to one another throughout, being of uniform size and color. Too often the regularity of the kernel is lost sight of and an ear will be displayed in which the kernels have a tendency to run in various directions, as well as being of numerous sizes. No matter how well matured an ear may be, having a very desirable shape, of good size, and shelling a high percentage of corn to cob, if the kernels are very irregular and of different sizes, it is impossible for that ear to rank high as a seed ear. This applies to our dent varieties, all of which we expect to be regular and uniform in kernel. The butts and tips should be well fitted with kernels of a regular, uniform size. The tendency is for the kernels to be large and of irreg- ular size at the butt, while often small and shallow at the tip. An ear should not be thrown out because the tip is not completely cov- ered. A good butt is more essential than a good tip; it is, however, very essential that there be a large amount of good corn between the butt and tip. There is another class of samples that is very frequently found at corn shows in which the ears are of quite uniform size and shape, yet the kernels are greatly 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 Bowman, Melville Le Roy, 1881-.
