A Freak Stalk of Corn.
Last Friday J. L. Curttright
brought into the Advertiser of
fice an odd stalk of corn. It is
about 8 feet high, and the blade
reach over three feet each side
of the stalk. The blades, instead
of growing as usual, come out on
opposite sides of the stalk which
is flat for the first four feet.
There are ten shoots for corn,
one at each blade for the lower
ten blades. If each would have
matured into a good' ear of corn
it would have been heavily
loaded. The corn was raised by
Steve Colerick, in Nemaha.
Ray Clark says he had a stalk
of corn that had seven shoots
and two good ears of corn.
E. J. Maxwell has a stalk of
corn nailed on the telephone pole
in front of his house that is 14
feet high. One morning it had
an empty beer bottle on it, but
Ed says it didn't grow there.
Who will be next with a corn
story?
