watch the posting of names. Thous-
ands of them could not get close
enough to read the names which had
been posted on a large board, the
bottom of which was six feet from
the ground. The scribes had to stand
on a ladder to reach the top names.
First on the list was Ted Balko, fol-
lowed by Ray Hansen, Cottonwood
county champ and runnerup in the
Minnesota tourney.
AS the names were posted it was
surprising how closely the loads COM
pared. A small sensation was Great
ed about the sixth report when Wal
ter Johannsen of Iowa had ], ,725
pounds gross, the biggest then on the
board by a considerable amount, but
when his deductions were posted and
it was found that he lost 265 pounds
for gleanings and husks, he was back
with the rest Of the boys.
During the posting, a program was
given from the stand, amplified so
that thousands could hear. There
were singers, would-be boxers, a Mr..
You-Who who ran a one man show
on the grounds all day, bands and
drum corps including the Redwood
Falls band, which by the way made
quite hit, and others.
Edging my way through the crowd,
I finally reached the enclosure fence
housing the broadcasting equipment,
press tent, officials tents and scales
and managed to get through to the
press tent. There the outcome was
already being telephoned to the As
sociated Press and Ted was being
congratulated, the final results not
being announced or posted until the
platform program was completed.
Ted's load of 1925 pounds was 100
pounds better than Johannsen, who
had the second place gross load, and
Ted's gleanings were an exceptional
ly small amount, three pounds. This
is multiplied by three to find the de-
duction figure. One hundred pounds
of corn from each load is carefully
picked over and the husks weighed,
the gross amount of husks being

and husk and tossing it into the wag-
on. AS busy as the huskers were the
guards who fought to make room for
the huskers and for the cleaners who
pick up every ear that is missed in
the field or that misses the wagon.
Ted's wagon was number three,
third from our side of the field. From
our position on the hill plus the ad-
vantage of a slight upward slope in
the contest field, we were able to fol-
low closely the positions of the wag-
ons in the field. It was only a mat
ter of minutes before three wagons,
one of which was Ted's had taken the
lead. There was little shifting of
position after the first few minutes
other than rod or two or three that
some fell back and similar advan-
tages that others gained.
The field was 10 rods long and
each husker took two rows. We clock
ed Ted from the hill during the first
few minutes and counted him as
throwing AT ears a minute although
at that distance it was easy to miss
an occasional ear. Band members
riding the tractor which towed his
wagon clocked him regularly at so
and better during that 80 minute
race.
FOotwork Important
After following the progress from
that distance and watching the crowd
milling behind the wagons, particul-
arly behind his wagon, and in the
lanes where the corn had been cut be-
tween the lands, we wondered if per-
haps Ted's boosters might inadvert-
emily rob him of his title. From the
hill it looked as if they must be rub
bing elbows with him at every step.
To investigate, we left the hill and
edged through the crowd to the field,
crossing the outside two lands so
that we were alongside Ted's land in
the lane between the second wagon
and Ted's. BY staying slightly in
front and moving ahead of the crowd,
we were able to watch him move for
ward step by step. Like boxing, foot
work as we'll as hand work is of
major Importance in husking.
Ted was working every muscle at
full speed, perspiration was pouring
from his pores but with the contest
half over, his white shirt was still
quite clean for the corn stood so
straight that it was seldom necessary
to stoop and swish an ear off the
ground.
Thanks to the work of the guards
who were as busy as the champion,
the crowd was at safe distance.
Ted might have been picking alone in
field on his fathers farm for all
the attention he paid to the mob
around him. We knew then that only
super-human husker could rob Ted
of his title this year.
We stayed ahead Of the crowd un-
til it was about to join another mob
which was waiting at the far end.
Anticipating the difficulty likely to
be encountered at that time, we
watched the turn from a greater dis
tance and then crossed the field and
went to the scoreboard where a
crowd had already gathered. From a
distance we saw Ted's tractor and
wagon turn, quite rapidly consider
ing the crowd, and start back. We
were at the scoreboard when the final
gun sounded a few minutes later.
Mob Watches Posting
Long before the wagons were out
OF the field, q vast crowd had gather
ed in front Of the scoreboard to

This is what happened last week.
IL will probably be explained by
the fact that there has been no
name signed to this column for
several weeks. Nevertheless, the
letter was from Mrs. M. Allen, of

parents like to read this column
That is some consolation. We

ment.
