CORN SHUCKINC
CONTEST DRAWS
SPEED DEMONS
CoIorfuI Scene Results
When Farm Champions
Vie for Honors.

BIZ United Press
PLATTE CITY, Mo, Nov. IA
Today the Drawn and skill of Amer
ica's corn belt was assembling here
for one Of the nations greatest farm
athletic events-the national corn
shucking contest.
The race down the corn rows to
national peerage in the arduous task
OF shucking will be run over thirty
nine acres Of the REM farm here
tomorrow.
For the benefit Of the city dwell
lers who may think corn shucking
is about as athletic as a rocking
chair marathon, it Is explained that
what bull fighting is to Spain and
big game hunting is to the Roose-
velts, corn shocking is to rural ath-
letes Of middle America.
The game or job is to break from
ten-root corn stalks all the ears on
each stalk in a given number of
corn rows, pull the husks from each
ear and toss each ear into wagon
pulled by horses as you walk down
the row.
Done at high speed, the result is
akin to the combined antics of a
tap dance, human fly, dumbben
swinger, bell ringer and 2O0-yard
dash man.
The REM farm has been laid out
properly for the field sport ex-
trayaganza which has attracted en-
trants from most of the corn grow
ing states, including Illinois, Iowa
Missouri, Minnesota, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas and neighboring
states.
