CORN POPS ITSELF.
Indiana Farmer Has an Entire Crop
Ruined by Hot Weather.

Indiana Farmer Has an Entire Crop
Ruined by Hot Weather.
ST.. CRo1x, Ind, Sept. 28.-One OF
the strangest phenomena ever wit
messed in this section is to be seen upon
the farm of Theodore Roberts, four
miles from this village. Last spring he
planted five acres in popcorn and a few
days ago he noticed that the shucks
were abnormally swollen and that the
ear seemed to be larger than when it
began to ripen, a thing contrary to
corn, as shrinkage is the rule. Mr..
Roberts examined some Of the corn and
was surprised to find that seven-eighths
of the grain had popped open and were
capped with the white pulp as though
they had been in the fire. The phe.
nomenon is attributed to the hot
weather that prevailed two or three
weeks ago. The entire crop of five
acres is ruined.
