■pjp 22— "A stuciv of kcrnGls 



The upper three kernels are well proportioied and occupy completely the space between the cir- 

 cumference of the ear and the circumference of the cob. . 



The upper right hand two kernels are poorly shaped and leave a lot of unoccupied space. 



The lower right hand two kernels show how tne white rice popcorn kernels occupy the space. 



The lower two kernels are of the shoe-peg type, . . u *v. 



The left two kernels show the relative snape and position of flint kernels as compared with the 

 upper three dent kernels. 



Fig. 23. — A study of kernels. The shoe-peg type is seen in the upper left hand corner. The three 

 kernels in the upper right hand corner approach most nearly to the ideal shape. Note the 

 unoccupied space because of the rounding edges in some of the cases.
