"The Corn Is High As
An Elephant's Eye .
“The corn is as high as an
elephant’s eye ..is the chorus
being sung on Lancaster Coun
ty farmlands right now. It’s not
poetic license . . . stalks as tall
as 12 feet are a fairly common
sight.

they’re also going wide with
two or even three ears per stalk.

prospects of a record crop. It
will all come true if frost does
not strike before the corn is
mature.
