Yet it does this and Is waving In the

the shorter tbe ear the more likery it
is to be covered with kernels, as the
longer the ear the later will the tip
silks be in getting out to the light
where they can be of service. For thi
reason the tips of long ears are fre

after the stalks had ceased shedding
