About a month ago Bill Harris, who
has eighty acres of corn two miles north
of Chula, concluded he would go through
it once more with cultivator. He drove
into the field one morning and started
down the row. But he found it impos-
sible to keep his mules in the field Aft
er repeated efforts he drove home and
unhitched. The corn was growing so
fast that the popping sounded like ar
tillery, and his mules never having been

din. The noise of the growing corn
drowned the words of command with
which Mr. Harris was wont to control

PEELED for the month past, and even up

are getting better because of the fact
that the popping and swapping is where
the new ears shoot, that is pretty we'll

high that you can only hear muffied re-

corn will be so high that you will not
