WHY =
is THERE "SlLK" ON
AN EAR OF CORN

THE substance which we term
- silk" on an ear OF corn before
1t has been husked and cleaned is
really the father of the corn itself,
because each little grain on the ear
has received sustenance-has been
"fertillzed' and enabled to reach its
full growth-by means OF the threads
of siik-llke construction.
Each ear of corn Is composed OF
three principal parts The grains
which grow on cob, the silk and the
husk The function Of the latter is
merely Of protective nature, 1t
keeps the driving rain and the burn
ing sun from damaging the tender
kernels or grains, which are the seeds
of the plant. But each one of these
grains must receive It's supply OF
pollen.powder If 1t Is to develop into
a large, juicy, tempting morsel or If
1t Is to grow into a fully developed
seed which. in turn, will produce
another stelk of corn. This pollen 1t
gets from the silken fbres which APP.
pear even before the grains them
selves are well differentiated while
they are almost lndlstingulshable
marks or ridges upon the cob But
even then 1t is possible to tell Just
how many grains of corn viii appear
upon the full,grown ear, To do this
It Is necessary only to count the
strands Of "silk," for each one Of
these fert!lizes grain and assists
In bringing It to maturity.

Why Finures May Be WRONG.

Cause for alarm Census bureau
says farmers made only 1885, sos gal
Ions of cider In 1919, compared with
32,5S3,99S gallons in 1909
This looks like one Of the great
American industries is going to decay
Figures for 1921 probably would show
a further falling off in cider,
The little Joker Is that an enormous
amount of hard cider is made on the
sly and doesn't show up in the Stats
ties Almost anyone making hard
cider is apt to sample 1t frequently
Hence the figures he furnishes are
bound to be mudded
