Dunklin Democrat: In one South
east Missouri county some of the farm
ers are having to set their fences back
to give corn room 10 grow, while 9th
ers say the corn is growing so fast that
the shuck lacks all the way from three
20 eight inches of covering the ear.
Here in Duuklin these troubles are
met with and more serious ones will
be witnessed at gathering time. The
ears are so heavy that the stalks are
all bent over and Tapped into the forks
of one another and no wagon or team
can get into the fields Some farmers
are deadening the stalks TO stop the
growth. Others calculate on using
dynamite to break an entrance into
their fields. Others figure on using
derricks, mounted on trucks with
cranes. TO pull the ears out of the
fields.
