Historical Briefs About America's First Food Instead of chopping them down, American Indians used to cut a strip of bark all the way around each tree where they wanted to plant corn. This simple act killed the trees and forever removed the leaves that once blocked the sun! Because they were generally taller and more slender than their parents, Australian youths were once popularly known as “cornstalks! ” Without modern herbicides like Evik (ametryne) to knock down problem weeds, corn growers would suffer devastating losses. A weed called “fall panicum,”’ for example — if allowed to flourish — can stop a mechanical corn picker right in its tracks!
