tosi, Mexico, who was cleaning the
husks and cobs by means of a blowing
machine.

whale blubber to the Eskimo.

selves to yellow corn, but raise many!
varieties. The corn grown by thel
Jamez, tribe, an orange and black
mixture, is the largest in the world

bine the types," declared Mr. Jones,!
"but rather made a conscious effort
