Can A Squirrel Carry
An Ear Of Corn?
Danbur.v reports that squir
rels have done so much damage
to green corn in Stokes county
that land owners have been
granted special permits for an
open season on the squirrels a
little in advance of the open
season beginnng on the 15th
The Stokes county story sets
out that great numbers of
squirrels have invaded the corn
fields "to cut the ears off and
carry them away."
Considering that a full grown
ear of corn is about the size of
a squirrel, the proceedings arc
halted for an inquiry: Did any
body in the audience ever se»*
a squirrel cut off an ear of
corn and tote it from the field:
Or do two or more combine
their efforts to one ear in the
cutting and carrying away?
Xo reward for answer. Just
.seeking light.—The Statesville
Daily.
