of nature, the cavity to be fortified by
the pollen sending out this long, silky
messenger to guide the pollen grain t.
its goal. The growth and develop

of the ear appears first and is the long

of the cob to get to the light at all.
Yet it does this and is waving in the

silks have appeared. The butt cavities
or ovaries are therefore the first To be
fertilized. 1t is generally believed that
the shorter the ear the more likely IL

after the stalks had ceased shedding
pollen. If an ear OF corn that is send

length of 20 inches or more. At the
