MISSOURI AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 



Agricultural College January 12, 1905, a committee was appointed to 

 prepare and publish a score card which is to be the official standard for 

 judging corn for the present year or until it shall be changed by the 

 association. No standard of varieties of corn has been adopted ; there- 

 fore, it is necessary to adopt a score card that may be used with some 

 modification in judging all varieties exhibited. As soon as a standard 

 has been fixed and different varieties recognized as standard by the asso- 

 ciation, it will then be necessary to adopt a score card for each standard 

 variety.
