ok so my question: I ordered the gotta have it! sweet corn from gurneys catalogue. I have 5 rows that are about 8 feet long each. I just noticed one stalk has the hairs on it looking like a regular developing ear... but another stalk has an ear developing but no hair??? I don't know whats going on... but here are some pics to describe what I see....
ear with hair:

Nice harvest!
About the corn. Just wait and see what happens. Nothing to do about it anyway. Sometimes corn will make two ears, sometimes one, and sometimes none, per stalk. It depends on soil fertility and growing conditions. Make sure the corn has water right now as it is tasseling. Getting the weeds out of a corn patch will help the corn too.
