  23. Don't forget blue corn.  Real popular with the yuppies these days.  I guess
  24. they've never encountered the stuff on the stalk.  You see, maize is
  25. susceptible to a really disgusting fungus known as smut.  Used to be, when you
  26. found a cornstalk infected with smut, you burned that part of the field.  Now
  27. you leave it alone, hoping it'll infect the rest of the crop, since smutty corn
  28. sells at several times the price of the healthy stuff.
