CORN" 



persons can conveniently put up a large quantity of corn 

 in a short time by the use of the double cord. One person 

 holds the cord while the other places the ears in position 

 as shown in Fig. 20. 



Small movable racks are often used in which sufficient 

 corn to plant five- or six acres can be placed and the racks 



put up in the house 

 until the corn is well 

 dried. Another device is 

 the " corn tree," shown 

 at the right of Fig. 19, 

 which is convenient for 

 curing small quantities 

 of seed corn. Often this 

 device can be placed in 

 a doorway or window 

 where there is a strong 

 current of air to help 

 carry off moisture . Such 

 a tree 6 feet high will 

 hold enough corn to 

 plant 15 acres.

 large quantity of corn can be stored conveniently and in 

 such a way as to permit free circulation of air.
