someone might have been hurt as the
buggy was perfect wreck.

THE REAL CHAMPION
All Corn Husking Records Beaten By
Fremont County Boy

One of the illusions is that pretty
nearly every community in the great
corn belt has the real champion corn
husker. 1t is hard to find neighbor-
hood that does not lay claim to the
title for somene in the vicinity.
But Fremont County, in the extreme
southwest corner of Iowa, seems to
have delivered the goods" 1t was
about six years ago that one Ora Hop
kins of that county accomplished the
startling fete of husking 2l7 bushels
and 10 pounds in ten hours, an average
of about q bushels and 40 pounds per
hour. Th 8 achievement was gener-
ally credited and on the strength of it
he claimed the worlds championship
title This stood for sometime when
Gus u. Miller of Geneseo, Illinois
broke the record with POI bushels and
10 pounds in eight hours and forty-five
minutes or almost exactly twenty. three
bushels per hour. This feat was veri-
fed by witnesses but was not taken
seriously in Fremont County, Iowa, if
ind ed it was ever heard of there.
But this fall, some new corn huskers
broke into the arena in Fremont Coun-
ty Iowa, if indeed it was ever heard of
there.
But this fall some new corn huskers
broke into the arena in Fremont Coun-
II. Abouttwo weeks ago Earl Nesly
went after the six-year-old record Of
Ora Hopkins and beat it by husking
21o bushels and 40 pounds in ten honrs,
an average Of very nearly 22 bushels
per hour.
But it was now that the real cham
pion appeared. His name is Bert Van
Houten. He allowed Neely's record to
stand only few days, and then under
took to dsnolish it, after making wa
ger of $500 that he could do SO. We'd
nesday of last week, November 22nd,
was the day set for him to perform,
and the field of one Glen Bunker, eight
miles northwest of Hamburg, was eho-
sen as the one in which to attempt the
fete. He won the money and title by
husking 230 bushels and 80 pounds in
ten hours, or more than % bushels per
hour, breaking all other records, inclu-
ding that of the Illinois man. How
the fete was accomplished is related in
the extract below, from the Atlantic
Evening News:
Everything was systematic in de-
tail. The weighers were John Whip
pie, Henry Abbey and Glen Bunker.
The judges were John Chapman, Wal
ter Coffey, John Driscol and John
Birkby. Alse the three welghers acted
as judges. There were ten loads of
corn husksd which averaged twenty
three bushels and three pounds to the
load during the ten hours. The num-
Der OF ears husked per minute varied
from thirty seven to forty-one. The
corn was husksd reasonably clean from
yield OF about forty bushels per acre.

age, tall and of slender build, a FIRE.
