CORN JUDGING 



Object. To score and judge corn. 



Material. A set of ears to illustrate the points on the score card, some 

 five-ear samples to illustrate the points under uniformity and at least three 

 ten-ear samples to score and judge. 



Step i. Learning the Points on the Score Card. Students should 

 fill in blanks. 



Fancy Points : 



Shape and Proportions of Ears. Compare Nos. - and . No. 



is cylindrical, No. is tapering. Compare Nos. and . No. 



is poorly proportioned, No. is well proportioned. 



Tip of Ears. Compare Nos. and No. has crooked irregular 



rows, No. - - has straight, regular rows. Compare Nos. - - and - . 

 No. - - has small depth of tip kernel. No. - - has good depth of tip 

 kernel. Compare Nos. - - and - . No. - - has exposure of cob, No. 

 - has no exposure of cob. 



Butts of Ears. Compare Nos.- and . No.- 'has irregular rows. 



No. - - has regular rows. Compare Nos. - - and - . No. - - has 

 poor depth and shape of butt kernel. No. has good depth and shape of 



kernel. Compare Nos. , , , . Flat butt, No. ; expanded 



butt, No. - ; contracted butt, No. - ; well rounded butt, No. - . 



Spacing of Rows. Compare Nos. and - . No. - - has poorly 



fitting rows, No. has well fitting rows. 



Shape of Kernels. See Productive Farm Crops, Fig. 36. Remember 

 that eastern grown dent kernels will not be as deep as the western grown but 

 should be shaped so that no space is wasted between rows. 



Uniformity. Size. Compare samples and . Sample - has 



poor size uniformity. Sample has good size uniformity. 



Shape. Compare samples and - . Sample - - has poor shape 



uniformity. Sample - - has good shape uniformity. 



Indentation. Compare samples and - . Sample - - has poor 



indentation uniformity. Sample - - has good indentation uniformity. 



Kernel. Compare samples and . Sample has poor kernel 



uniformity. Sample has good kernel uniformity.
