A Freakish Ear of Maise.

Lee Jessup brought an ear of sweet corn to this office Monday that is an interesting freak. It was covered over with a husk just as every other ear of corn is and in addition to this each grain is protected with an additional hnsk, both grain aid covering being entirely separate from every other grain, and the formation being maintained thruont from the largest to the smallest grains. If all corn grew this way it would .require a thrashing machine to get the grain.
