: Yuri, I *did* go to your web site.  I *did* look at the pictures you
: have posted there - on a high resolution monitor on a Sun workstation.
: I could *not* see anything in the pictures that I could possibly
: identify as cornhusks or cornsilk in those scanned photos.

Huh?

Are you sure you looked at these?

http://www.globalserve.net/~yuku/dif/wmzpix1.htm

Because the last 2 show what you've been looking for. 

"And here are a couple more examples of ears being left in their husks.
The added indications of their identity here are the "curls of maize silk"
hanging from the tips of the ears. What other "fruits" would have had this
sort of a thing?"

: The quality of your scanned images was so poor

Not my fault.

: that I did *not*
: say in my article that the images had no husks or silk, only
: that I was unable to identify husks or silk, and hoped that the
: quality of the other published images Hu cited was sufficient
: to allow me to see what is, or is not, there in the way of husks or
: silk. 

And also learn to read. My reply to which you're replying WAS TO STONE. It
is he who is more clued out than anyone else here (with the exception of
Schlaf perhaps.)

Yuri.
