What is known as the shouting OF

when Apollo was worshiped in Eng
land The churn or kern means ring
or circle formed by several persons
holding hands. The word churn also
signifies n chaplet worn around the
head or carried suspended on n pole
in procession. SO the shouting of
the churn" means the merriment that
always accompanied wearing a chaplet
or dancing in n circle.

or row. often resulted from contend
ing for leadership In dispatching the
last days work in the field. Each
reaper left a handful of the harvest
uncut. and the bonniest lass was al
lowed TO gather these handfuls and to
make out of them corn baby" This
was brought home in triumph, set up
in the feast, and preserved for the re-
mainder OF the year. The lass was
called the harvest queen. Sometimes
instead of being made into doll the
products of the field would be formed
into mare, and the reapers would
amuse the guests by trying to cut
down the mare with their sickles. The
man who succeeded in The undertake
ing would declare what should be done
with the mare.
