THE BANK WHICH GIVES THE FARMER A DAILY LIVE STOCK MARKET REPORT. PEOPLES BANK ‘The Bank on Which You Cen Always Bank.” Along with the show season comes the selection of corn exhibits. Where corn is shown for premiums it is cus- tomary to show ten ears together as a sample, and consequently in judg- ing such samples the ten ears must be considered as a whole, instead ofa single ear. In selecting a sample it is well to first select twenty-five or thir- ty of the best ears to be found and lay them out on a board side by side, Then go over them with the charac- teristics of a good ear in-mind and study them carefully. An hour spent in picking out the good and bad points of the various ears, one after another, will help very much in de- ciding which of the ears will make the best exhibit. Finally pick out the most ideal ear in the lot and use it as a standard in selecting the other nine. Bear in mind that one of the most important points about a good sample of corn is what is known as uniform- ity of type. By this is meant that a Picking the Corn for Show Uniformity of Exhibit Important Factor By C. B. Hutchison, Assistant Pro- fessor of “Agronomy, versity of Missouri. The Kind that Wins.

Following is the score card that is in common use: Score Card. 1, Uniformity cf type 2. Shape of ears ... 3, Length of ears .. 4, 5. Circumference of ear Purity (a) kernel .. (b) cob ... 6.

They should all have the same shade of color, the same size, the same shape, the same color of cobs, the same charatter of kernels, whether rough or smooth, wide or narrow, and be true to the type of the variety. Each ear should measure up to the score-card standard for the variety, in both length and circumference, and should be solid, well-matured, free from damaged grains and all indica- tions of mixtures. Keep in mind the idea of “mates,” as if selecting a show team of driving horses or a herd of cattle or other stock. For the purpose of determining the depth and shape of kernels, the char- acter of the kernel and the size of cob, two kernels may be removed from the same side of the ear, but no other kernels should be missing.

A. Ferguson, head of the forestry department in the Col- lege of Agriculture. Eight students of that department camped in the heart of the Ozarks the past summer, doing practical work. During their stay they spent eight hours each day working in the timber. The other 16 hours were spent in recreation and sleeping. The camp was located near FEED THE HOGS VARIETY CORN ALONE DOES NOT MAKE PORK ECONOMICALLY. By L. A. Weaver, Instructor in Anl- mal Husbandry, College of Agricul- ture, University of Missouri.

A large mill, the largest in Missouri, was close by and furnished them am- ple material for observation. This is the first class to do practical work in the forests. ‘The forestry depart- ment was established in the College of Agriculture last year. It offers a five-year course leading to the degree of Master of Forestry. Ration 2. ; SOT so syivasieseasebetices neice 9 parts TOURORG 04 chet yeqieas ove ce 1 part Ration 3.
