   Hi Paul,   
      
   Awesome.   
      
   I tried to grow corn several times before I got diagnosed with   
   Diabetes (corn is one of the causes) to no avail.   
      
   The kernels were infested with earwigs every time I tried.   
   I remember spraying the kernels with chrysanthemum spray   
   and having the kernel erupt with earwigs like a   
   kid's volcano science project.   
      
   Death to Earwigs!
