The Foolish Almanak for Anuthur Year

RAISING CORN

Reading edition

Great care should be exercised in raising corn, especially the variety Johnus Barleycornicus. This may be raised with either hand. Some superstitious agriculturists believe in the efficacy of a simple incantation to be used in the act of raising this variety, such as "Here's how!" "Over the hot sands!" etc. This kind has never been known to fail in getting to a head. "Kernels" of Barleycorn originated in Kentucky. Pest Note: If troubled with Junebugs try sweeping the cobwebs out of the attic; if troubled with aunts close up the house and go to the country.
