Congratulations old man, you sure
went out and did the job this year.
Wish I could have been there to see
you, but listened to everything over
| the radio. Heard you brag about the
nice day and crowd and about your
Minnesota corn. l was sure enough
that you would win, the night before
that I gave the boys uptown two to
one odds on you against the whole
field and made $40 out of it. Thanks
a lot. Ha! Well, I'm sure glad you
won it. You had tough breaks enough
that you sure deserve it.
1 had a little tough luck this year
myself but, maybe next year I'll get
a chance to see you and shake your
hand.
Will close wishing you lots of good
luck.
Your friend,

| I am taking the pleasure in con-
graduating you for the winner of
the worlds champion corn husking. 1
seen your picture in our daily news
paper and you're very nice looking
young gentleman l am sure-I for
myself am 20 also and free. If you
are free. l would like very much to
hear from you, as I am interested in
that country myself. Being raised
entirely in the west. A western per-
son does sure get very lonely here
in the east. 1 am very much inter-
ested in you and also am interested
in obtaining friends.
l would certainly appreciate hear
ing for you. If you are free to do
| so.
Dayton, Ohio
Congratulations on your recent
victory as champion corn husker.
Your story appeared on the front
page of our local morning paper.
Your name has been in print before
and therefore it sounds quite famll-
lar to some of us here in Dayton,
especially the Bulko family of whom
there are two.
These Bulko's come from Hungary
and settled in Virginia and later COM
ing to Dayton and therefore since
your name sounds as ours only spell
ed with an "a" we would like to
know if you or your parents origin
ated from Hungary. Please do not
get angry if we here in Dayton mis-
judged your nationality by the sound
and spelling of your name.
Please drop us line to satisfy our
curiosity whether we are mistaken or
not. Hoping to hear from you soon.
P. S. l married Bulko so am
somewhat anxious to know as
member of the family.
Fonda, New York
I saw your picture and record of
corn husking in our daily paper and
wish to send my congratulations.
If you have time would you drop
me line as l would like to know the
size of ear you grow out there.
AS far as I know am an average
husker in the east but only can husk
100 bushels in about nine hours. Our
best ears are about IL inches long
by three. So you see I am consid-
cradle slower than you unless you
have much better corn.
Whatever the size of your corn you
receive my congratulations because
at your speed 200 bushels per day
would be easy for you.
With best wishes and hearty con-
gratulations.
Bremen, Indiana
We heard you talk over the radio,
Thursday. We also heard your ears
of corn bang against the bangboard.
It sure is wonderful that person
can hear people in Minnesota shock
corn a distance of several hundred
miles. And did those ears bang fast!
We all congratulate you.
Dorchester, Massachusetts,
I don't know but what you will
| think this a strange request but l
