PICKING Corn by Machinery.

The successful corn picking machine
seems at last to have become a reality.
We have read of several having been
bought and tried successfully in south
western Iowa this fall. Fremont coun-
ty has one, and Mills county has one or
two.
The machine looks something like a
corn binder in appearance. 1t is drawn
by five horses, and along side the ma
chine as it moves along wagon is
driven to take the husked corn as it is
delivered from an elevator and tossed
into the wagon box. No mans hands
touches the corn until the full wagon
box is hauled to the crib and shoveled
out. The machine keeps three wagons
busy hauling the corn, pulls the husks
from the ears clearly and does not mar
the ear. 1t will pick from to 8 acres
of corn a day and will do the work Of
five or six good men. Ii front of the
machine is troughlike arrangement
that slants at an angle of 45 degrees
This trough is driven over the rows and
the corn is taken through it but it is
not pulled up or knocked down, and
after the machine has passed the corn
is still standing in the field. The ears
are nipped off the stock and carried to a
series of rollers where the husks are
caught and torn off. The husked ears
are then delivered to an elevator thai
tcarries them up and drops them into {
wagon as it moves along with the ma
