Fig 11 the kernels on ear No. 1 are nearly the same depth from tip to butt, 

 while the kernels of ear No. 2 grow rapidly shorter towards the tip. The 

 kernels on ear No. 3 are small, shallow and flinty, little larger than grains 

 of pop-corn and will run through the planter about like wheat. When 

 these three ears were shelled together and tested in the planter there was a 

 range of all the way from 2 to 7 kernels per hill.
