CORN 



LAYING IN THE FIRST EAR 



This method, known as the double string method of tying up seed 

 corn, is rapid and efficient. Note that the strings held in the left 

 hand are longer than those in the right. Also that the strings in the 

 right hand are held wider apart. As the strings pass around the ear 

 they are about equally distant from butt and tip.
