W.S. Spake, farmer of Shelby R-1, was in the office Monday exhibiting two freak clusters of roasting ears. The clusters were made up of small ears of corn resembling very much prickly cactus stalks in size and formation. The clusters were formed of many small ears growing out of one large ear, all on one stem or branch. One cluster contained about 50 small ears, and the other about 30. The freaks will be on exhibition at the fair this fall.
