October is National Corn Month, and Tidbits is taking the opportunity to inform our readers of the facts about the largest crop grown in the United States. • By the time Christopher Columbus landed in the New World, the ancient Mayans had been cultivating corn for centuries. Corn was domesticated from a wild grass called teosinte. Prior to Columbus’ voyages, there was no corn in Europe. The explorer traded with the inhabitants of the West Indies and brought the grain back to Europe. • Many countries refer to corn as “maize,” which translates “sacred mother” or “giver of life.” • Because corn is domesticated, you won’t find it growing in the wild. • The typical corn plant can reach a height of 10 feet, although certain strains can grow to 39 feet. The ear or cob of corn is part of the plant’s flower. Each individual kernel is a seed. One pound of corn will contain about 1,300 kernels. At the end of each ear is a cluster of silks, each about 7 inches long. There is one piece of silk for each kernel. At the end of each hair-like silk is a carpel, the female reproductive organ of the plant that holds the ovules. If the carpel is fertilized by a pollen grain, it will develop into a kernel. turn the page for more!

“MY VICTORY WAS GOING FROM HOMELESS TO HOME.”

(continued): • Each ear has about 800 kernels in 16 rows. There are always an even number of rows on each ear. • Corn is measured in bushels, but how much is a bushel? One bushel is equal to 8 gallons, contains up to 90,000 kernels, depending on moisture content, and weighs 56 pounds. • Corn is grown on every continent in the world except Antarctica. The U.S. produces more than 40% of the world’s supply of corn. America’s corn production is more than twice that of any other crop grown. More than half of that amount is grown in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Illinois, with the remainder coming from Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin South Dakota, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, and Kentucky. All of these states comprise what is referred to as the “Corn Belt.” With about 90 million acres planted in the U.S. every year on approximately 400,000 farms, that makes for about 14 billion bushels of corn! • In 1880, about 62 million acres of corn were planted in the U.S. In 1900, that number was 95 million. The most acres of corn planted in one year in the U.S. was in 1917, when 111 million acres were cultivated. However, the yield has significantly changed. In 1906, an acre yielded 31.7 bushels per acre. Today, that number is about 155! Farmers are growing five times more corn today than they did in the 1930s, yet on 20% less land! An acre of corn contains about 30,000 plants. • When corn starch is processed with enzymes or acid to create a dextrose solution, the result is corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup is even further processed in order to increase sweetness. Because it is cheaper to produce than ordinary sugar, high fructose corn syrup is used in many processed foods and soft drinks. One bushel of corn can sweeten 400 cans of soda pop. Cont'd next page!

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver ● It was Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist, author and historian Garry Wills who made the following sage observation: “Politicians make good company for a while just as children do -- their self-enjoyment is contagious. But they soon exhaust their favorite subject -- themselves.” ● The Pizza Hut restaurant chain got started when two brothers borrowed $600 from their mom. ● In the early 1900s, if you called someone a “geek” it didn’t mean that person was nerdy. A geek back then was a carnival wild man. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

(continued): • About 20% of all the calories consumed in the world come from corn. However, nearly 75% of all corn grown in the U.S. isn’t consumed by humans, but is either fed to livestock or used for ethanol production. The process of making fuel ethanol takes between 40 and 50 hours. It involves breaking down the corn’s starch into simple sugars, adding ammonia, and combining the sugars with yeast. It is then processed at high temperatures and cooled in fermenters. One bushel of corn yields about 2 ½ gallons of ethanol fuel. • The major types of corn include dent, flint, sweet, flour, and popcorn. Dent corn is another name for field corn, which is grown to feed livestock and poultry. It’s also used for ethanol production and other industrial uses. Flint corn is also known as Indian corn, or calico corn, as the kernels have a wide range of colors from white to dark red. Sweet corn contains more natural sugar than any other type, 10% compared to field corn at 4%. Sweet corn is primarily eaten on the cob, but is canned and frozen as well. Because nearly half of sweet corn’s sugar is converted to starch just 24 hours after it is picked, it tastes best when it’s freshly picked. After just six hours at room temperature, up to 40% of its sweetness is lost. Flour corn has a soft, starch-filled kernel that is easy to grind, making it optimum for use in baked goods. Popcorn has a very hard exterior shell surrounding a soft starchy center. When it is heated, the moisture inside the kernel turns to steam, creating pressure for the kernel to explode and turn inside out. Cont'd next page!

is what people are doing all across town

(continued): • There are more than 3,500 uses for corn products. It’s found in hundreds of household products, including laundry detergent, aspirin, antibiotics, marshmallows, chewing gum, and shoe polish. It’s even in your toothpaste and cosmetics! In the industrial world, corn is a component of rust preventatives, glue, paint, ink, film, plastics, and even fireworks. • How do you know when sweet corn is ready to pick? It will be ready for harvest about 20 days after the silk first begins to appear. When it’s ready, the silk turns brown, while the husks are still green. The corn needs to be in the “milk” stage. When a kernel is punctured, there will be a milky liquid inside. A clear liquid means it’s not ready, while no liquid means you’ve waited too long. • The Gleaner Harvester Combine Corporation introduced the first mechanical corn harvester in 1930 and revolutionized the harvesting of corn. Picking by hand before the machines were available, a farmer might gather about 100 bushels of corn during a ninehour day. Today’s combines can harvest that same 100 bushels in less than seven minutes, about 900 bushels per hour. • Some folks love corn so much they enter contests for eating it. Dave “Coondog” O’Karma set a record for eating 5.1 pounds of corn in seven minutes, while Ed “Cookie” Jarvis holds the world record of eating 33 ½ ears of corn in 12 minutes. DeAngelo deMoulin has a record of eating one ear in 11.61 seconds.

ARMADILLOS

This week, Tidbits is bringing you up to date on the facts about that little armored animal, the armadillo. • The word armadillo translates from the Spanish for “little armored one.” This animal is most closely related to sloths and anteaters, and is native to North and South America. The leathery armored shell is made up of plates of bone with a covering of horn that overlap, creating a shield over the shoulders and hips. More armor covers the top of the head, the upper part of the limbs, and the tail. Only the armadillo’s underside has no armor, covered with only fur and soft skin. • The armadillo is born with very soft shells, similar to human fingernails. As they mature, the scales, known as “scutes,” become harder as bone is deposited under the skin. • The nine-banded armadillo is the most common one found in North America, and is named such for the nine breaks in its armor, which allow it to flex its stiff hide. Because the tough armored plates are so inflexible, most species cannot roll into a ball as a means of defense. Only the threebanded armadillo can roll into a complete armored ball that can actually be rolled along the ground, and can’t be broken open. • Armadillo shells are so strong, those shooting at the animals have been injured when their bullets ricocheted off the shell. A Marietta, Texas man shot three bullets at an armadillo, one of which ricocheted and hit him in the jaw. In another strange incident, a Georgia man fired shots at an armadillo, one of which bounced off the shell, zipped through the back door of a mobile home and hit his 74-year-old mother-in-law in the back. • Although armadillos have short legs and a load of armor, surprisingly, they can move rather quickly. They have two interesting methods of crossing water. They are able to actually walk underwater on the bottom for up to six minutes, the amount of time they are able to hold their breath. They can also float on the surface by swallowing air to inflate their stomach and intestines to twice the normal size, increasing their buoyancy. • There are 20 species of armadillos, with the country of Paraguay home to the most varieties, with 11. The average armadillo will reach a length of about 30 inches, including the tail. One species, the giant armadillo grows to about 59 inches and will weigh up to 119 lbs.. The smallest, the pink fairy armadillo, is just 6 inches long. • Although they have an excellent sense of smell, armadillos are nearly deaf and blind. Because of their poor eyesight, they frequently wander out onto roads and are killed by vehicles. This has earned them the nickname “hillbilly speed bumps.” • Oddly enough, armadillos can contract leprosy, and so they are often used in the study of the disease. Eating them has been connected to leprosy in humans. • A lute instrument of the Andes Mountains is frequently fashioned from the shell of the armadillo. • Because an armadillo’s claws are designed for digging and they do so most of their waking hours, they can be very destructive. Their burrowing under a concrete foundation, sidewalk, or porch can cause it to crack.
