UNPLANTED CORN.

go over a lot of 'em , and there's yet
one that you can't tell me why it is.
That's corn heatin" up in the spring.
"You take a lot of corn. 1 don't care
if it's whole corn or cr.i7L-lcd eprn or

it comes corn planfin' time , that corn

blades start out ofthe ground , then
you'll Jiave to hustle to save your grain.
"Seems as wheii the time comes alphg

gins to heat up , aiid when the planted
corn b'eghis to grow what you've , o.t'

You've got to take it out of the b&s
