 II is a weH-known fact that while the farmers of Georgia pull the leaves from the corn for fodder, leaving the stalk standing to support the ear of corn, through the northern and west ern states it is the custom to cut the stalk down, shock 1t up and then to shred it for cattle feed after the corn has been taken of
