Each exhibit should consist of 

 10 ears. All of the ears in an 

 exhibit should be uniform in 

 size, shape, color and indenta- 

 tion. Cut each off ear .5 point. 



All the ears in the exhibit 

 should be true to the type and 

 variety which they represent. 

 Cut each off ear 1 point. 



The shape of the ear should 

 conform to the variety of tho 

 type. Cut each off ear .5 point. 



The color of grain should be 

 true to variety and free from 

 mixture. White corn should 

 have white cobs and yellow corn 

 red cobs. For one mixed kernel 

 on an ear cut .25 point; for two 

 or three, cut .5 point; for four 

 or five, cut .75 point; for more 

 than five, cut 1 point. 



The ears should be well ma- 

 tured, firm and sound. Cut .5 

 point for each immature or un- 

 sound ear. 



The tips of the ears should 

 not be too tapering and should 

 be well filled with regular, uni- 

 form kernels. Cut 1 point for 

 each tip exposed one inch; for 

 less exposures and irregulari- 

 ties, cut in proportion. 



The rows of kernels should be 

 even and swell out evenly be- 

 yond the end of the cob. Cut .5 

 point for each poorly filled butt. 

 For other irregularities, cut 

 from 1 to 3 points. 



The kernels should possess 

 like characteristics and be true 

 to variety type. Cut .5 point for 

 each off ear. 



The kernels should be so 

 shaped that their edges touch 

 from tip to crown. Cut .5 point 

 for each poorly shaped pair. 



The length should conform to 

 the standard for the variety. 

 Add together the deficiencies 

 and excesses in length, and for 

 each inch so obtained cut the 

 exhibit 1 point. 



Measure from one-third the 

 distance from butt to tip and 

 for each two inches of the sum 

 of the deficiencies and excesses 

 cut the exhibit 1 point.
