Bows, Nov. 3.-Corn husking records
are seldom broken in the early part
Of the season. Freezing weather and
seasoned wrists are necessary for the
accomplishment of feats in this line,
but the unusual yields and fine quality

| by John Hoefer, of Gait, three men
husged 987 bushels in three successive
days Notwithstanding the fact that one
LOT them hurt his wrist the first day
and couldn't husk worth a cent the
other two days. Lloyd Norris husked
F128 bushels on the Herman Schroeder
farm one day, loading a wagon down

Fifteen-year-o Nelson Houck on
the Eli Appleby farm avera ged sixty
five bushels day for nine days and
brought in more than seventy one day.
