310 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



In corn judging the following additional points are considered : 



9. Trueness to type. It is not suflScient that the ears shall be 

 properly shaped, etc.; thej must have also the special character- 

 istics of the breed to which they belong — the roughness or smooth- 

 ness of kernel, the style of dimple, general outline of kernel, etc. 



10. Uniformity. Ears may show that they belong to a par- 

 ticular breed, and yet lack in uniformity of appearance, just as a 

 group of cows may leave no doubt as to what breed they belong, 

 and yet may not be uniform in appearance in the group. 



11. Market condition. This takes into account whether the 

 corn is ripe, sound, free from disease and injur}', bright in color, 

 and of apparently good vitality. 



12. Uniformity of kernels. Two kernels are removed from each 

 ear as described above and the pairs placed in rows for compari- 

 son. Every pair should look like every other pair in shape and 

 size.
