Samples of corn and stalks should be
as nearly as practicable a fair average
of the crop exoept where the specifica­
tion is for field selected ears, in which
easo the grower is supposed to go over
the plat some time previous to harvest
lng, and mark those stalks containing
the earliest maturing ears of good even
size, growing on strong, well developed
«talks. These marked ears are then
harvested separately, sorted and fire
dried, and from these he may select
the 50 or 100 of most perfect ears.

must be accompanied by a statement

Rule 4, will name the varieties of eorn,

The corn plant has the characteristic
of adapting itself to soil and climatic
conditions to a greater degree than any
other cultivated plant. There is also a
wider variation in sizo nnd quality of
grains, under average conditions, than
is to be found with other cereals. For
this reason, seed selection becomes a
very important factor in successful corn
