Note — The quality and flavor of the Stabler kernel one lobe type, noted above is 

 abnormal. Both these and perfect form from the same source had spoiled to a 

 degree. Normal flavor would have registered 22 points for quality and flavor of 

 kernel a total score of sixty, which is interesting from the fact that the increased 

 points from much better cracking quality is neutralized by losses in points for size 

 and proportion of kernel.

Quality and Flavor of kernel: The greater part of the 38 nuts selected out of 

 over 1200 entered in the contest, which were selected by the judges for detailed ex- 

 amination, were of the highest in this respect. 



Thinnest Shell: Elmer R. Meyers, Bellefontaine, O., R. No. 2 (22) cracking pres- 

 sure 130 Kg. The figure of the cracking pressure of this nut gives a very poor index 

 of the relative thinness of shell of this nut and of the others. Seemingly it is not 

 over half the thickness of the one with the next lowest cracking pressure, Throp (one 

 lobe type) 136 Kg., but the one lobe type with no interior shell partition had nothing 

 to support the shell when cracked on the side. 



Pellicle easiest removed: Mrs. Joe Ogden. Bedford, Ky. (21).
