Oh, brother in the conflict, be earnest, brave and true. 

 Dare to be independent, and think your problems through. 

 Love God and love your neighbor, do all the good j^ou can, 

 And follow your convictions, and be an honest man. 



Mr. Maynard. Will the Doctoi* please state once more the 

 number of kernels that ought to be on an 8-inch ear of corn? 

 I wasn't quite quick enough to copy that. 



Dr. TwiTCHELL. I want 380 broad, deep, full kernels. 

 Here is a difference in corn on the cob; we find it in so many 

 cases, as I pointed out, — what we term the "chip." There 

 is an open space there. I want to close that, and that is 

 what I mean by broad, deep kernels, so there will be no 

 space at all on the cob. As we break an ear I can't see any 

 space; every kernel of it is close to the cob. That is where 

 we get the maximum corn on the individual cob. 



Mr. Maynard. How many kernels per inch, extra, above 

 that? 



Dr. TwiTCHELL. Fortv-eight.
