POLLINATION COMPLETED— TYPE OF EARS OBTAINED 



Figure 18. The advantages claimed for this method of self-pollinating corn are that it 

 prevents danger of contamination and that the ears produced are well filled from base to 

 tip. About forty-five pollinations an hour can be made by tw^o men. The method does not 

 lend itself well to cross-pollenation, but by using individual branches of the tassel a useful 

 modification might be developed.
