Of great importance is the darseed judging. Although conducted in the greatest apparent levity, the contest is very serious, since it determines the cost of darseed for the coming year, which in turn can determine how much darseed farmers can afford to plant for the next season. The contrasts of this event are captured best in the famous painting of the darseed farmer, dressed in his brightly colored clothes, complete with the four-tassled hat and false nose, sitting morosely on his bales of produce, to which is attached a yellow note proclaiming a score of 3, shedding bitter tears into his brightly gloved hands.
