The two upper rows show poor shapes of kernels, the two rows near the middle are good 

 shapes, and those in the lower row different sizes of germs. 



ber of ears it will be found that while there is often quite a difference 

 in the size of the germs in the kernels of the same ear, }'et as a rule they 

 tend to uniformity in size, some ears having large germs, some medium 

 and some small. It is well, therefore, to select ears which show large 

 strong germs, especially when the corn is being selected for a breeding 

 plot.
