AN EAR OF CORN John W. Gilmore A good ear of corn — but what do you mean by a good ear of corn? Do you mean that some ears of corn are bitter and not good to eat? No, but I mean an ear of corn that is good-looking. Show you a good looking ear of corn? Well, here is one. See it has good shape; that is, it is moderately long and moderately large and it is almost as large at the tip as it is at the base. If you look at the base of the ear where it was broken from the stalk you will see that the cob is not very large. The grain at this end is rounded over (in most good ears) and forms a little cup with the base of the cob. Now look at the other end. Here the grains prac- tically cover the cob. Some ears, though good looking otherwise, have the tip of the cob exposed. Those are not the best. Now let us examine some of the grains. In the first place they are crowded on the cob so tight that they can scarcely be moved unless they be broken from the cob. Sometimes, though, when the corn is cut green the grains will be looser on the cob than if the corn had been allowed to ripen. The grains themselves are of good size and thickness and the germ is much more than half as long as the grain. Each grain, like the ear, is nearly as large at one end as it is at the other. The corn must not only be good looking, but it must have power to grow when it is planted. Not every ear or grain that is good looking has this power; it ma}' have lost the power bec
