STANDARDS FOR VARIETIES. 



The length of ear will vary with locality— the shorter the season the 

 shorter the ear, and vice versa. In general, the ordinary type of corn 

 should be between 10 and 11 inches in length and 7.5 and 8 inches in 

 circumference. There is no objection to longer ear, providing it is propor- 

 tional and will mature in the season in which it is grown. In fact, one of 

 the objects of breeding is to develop size. With recognized varieties the 

 standards of length, circumference and per cents have been adopted as 

 follows:
