. Elementary agriculture . Fig. 67. The corn cutter. This may be done with a hand cutter or with a corn harvester (Fig. 67). About sixty hills are cut and gathered into one shock. The tops are bound to- gether so the shock will stand while the corn cures, which requires about six weeks. When the leaves are dry the husking takes place, and the ears are stored in well-ventilated cribs built high from the ground and protected from the rats and mice. Send to the Department of Agriculture for plans for the crib.
