The upper row (Nos. 21 to 37) shows the depth of germ when the ker- 

 nels are split in two lengthwise through the middle of the germ. Nos. 21, 

 24, 27, 28, 29, 33 and 35 show very deep germs and are from ears rich in 

 protein and oil, No. 35 being from the ear richest in protein of 1,400 tests, 

 while Nos. 22, 23, 36 and 37 are from ears very poor in feeding value. It 

 will also be noticed that the germs are very small. 



The lower two rows show cross sections of kernels. Nos. 2, 4, 14 and 18 

 are among the poorest, having very small germs and consequently very low 

 in feeding value. Nos. 12, 16, 15 and 17 are among the very best.
