CORN 75 



I It is the flower of the corn. 

 The corn has two kinds of flowers. 



The tassel is one kind, and makes the flower 

 dust. 



All flowers have to have this dust to make 

 the seeds. 



But where are the seeds ? 



Not at the top on the tassel. 



No ; they are on the corn cob below. 



Take off the husk from the corn. 



See how the silk comes from the grains. 



But sometimes there is silk and no grain of 

 corn. 



Shepherd Wind did not carry the flower dust 

 to this thread of silk. 



But he does his work well on the whole. 



And so most ears of corn are full of grains.
