Corn Huskers Busy Now.
The measured bump of the ears Of
corn against the wagon sideboards Is
familiar music in the corn fields about
Wapello and the annual corn harvest
has really begun in earnest after sew
eral heavy frosts which have admirably
for cribbing. Those early reports to
the effect that there would be decid-
,edly chaffy yield have been proven I'M
founded, the corn being both Of an ex-
cellent quality and large in quantity.
In no portion Of Wapello county and in
few sections of the entire state are
the farmers complaining, and the
husking goes on merrily.
In this part of the states there is an
immense acreage of corn and from
present indications it's harvest will be
one Of the largest in the history of the
state The hail loss has been smaller
than for many years and the frosts
came at exactly the right time to pro-
mote the best interests of this grain.
Although as yet there have not been
great many reports of the perform
ance of champion corn huskers" 1T is
confidently expected that the records
of all former years will be lost in the
1905 feats, which promise to be most
interesting in the relating. There are
plenty of men engaged in the work and
therefore an ample number of chances
