Subject: song-Shucking of the Corn One of the slavery sections Jan Robison sent us today had an account of corn-shucking. It reminded me of a folk song : I've got a ship on the ocean, All lined with silver and gold, Before I'd see my true love suffer That ship would be anchored and sold. Chorus: "I'm going to the shucking of the corn, I'm going to the shucking of the corn, The shucking of the corn and the blowing of the horn I'm going to the shucking of the corn." I googled those words "going to the shucking of the corn" and got a few hits, even a recording of one corn-shucking song. Best, Lois

I'm looking for any seed, feed, flour, dog food (or other) bags or sacks that were produced at the Rice and Ratledge Mill in Woodleaf. The brands (that I know of) were Golden Harvest, Rico, Red Robin, and Woodleaf Feeds. If anyone has any "Rice and Ratledge" memorabilia, please let me know. At a minimum, I would love to talk to you and maybe get a picture of the item if you don't want to part with it. Thank You! James A. Weaks Hillsborough, NC
