THE SCHOOL EXHIBIT

uniform in size, wedge-shaped, with a large germ. The 
grain, when shelled, should weigh eighty-five per cent as 
much as the ear. 
It is an excellent plan to have entire stalks, with ears 
attached, showing the proper location of the ear. Ex¬ 
tremely low ears or extremely high ears are not desirable. 
An ear three and one-half feet above the ground on a 
strong shank holding the ear horizontally is the most 
satisfactory. 
A. Cottonseed oil. 
B. Linters. 
C. Cottonseed hulls. 
D. Cottonseed meal. 
E. Cottonseed cake. 
F. Cottonseed with linters removed. 
G. Cottonseed. 
Cotton collected during September and October may 
be used for selecting material for an exhibit. The bolls 
should have been taken from the plants that are three 
or four feet high, with low fruiting branches and large 
bolls. Twenty of the most uniform bolls should be 
selected. The fiber should be bright, silk-like, white, 
free from vegetable odor and immaturity, also free from 
sticks, dust, and stains. The fiber must be strong and 
of uniform length. It should weigh about thirty-five 
per cent as much as the original weight of the seed cotton.
