GAINS RIGHT TO

Husks 28.217 Bushels Net;
Gross Load Weighs

Carl Bly, of Hills in Rock
County is Second by
About 5 Pounds

Thirty huskers, champions in as
many counties of Minnesota, tried
valiantly to end the reign of Ted
Balko of Redwood Falls as state
champion in the state meet at
Heron Lake Wednesday but when
the loads were weighed and deduc-
tions computed, Ted was again
awarded the state crown-his
fifth in six years of competition.
With the state title goes the
right to compete in Fountain
county, Indiana, November 8 when
the two best huskers from each Of
the corn belt states battle for the
national title which Ted, as 1884
winner, will be present to defend.
Ted's victory Wednesday was
gained only by husking record
load of corn, 28.217 bushels, which
is well above the previous state
meet record Of 27.01 bushels which
Ted made in 1888. Close on the
champions heels was Carl Bly,,
the Rock county entrant from
Hills, whose load netted 28.14
bushels.
Husks 1000 Pounds
Two men had larger gross loads,
Bly, who husked 204O pounds and
lost 7O.18 pounds for excess husks
and gleanings and Quinton Lun-
derborg of Sibley county whose
load of 2010 pounds slipped to
eleventh place after deductions
were made.
Ted's load of 1000 pounds even
was reduced by only 24.8 pounds.

the race considerably.
Glencoe was idle last week as

two defeats in Little Ten games.

Ray Hansen of Cottonwood, usual

with 27.037. All of the first four
huskers beat the old state record

paid to the national and the run
ner-up is privileged to compete

Erwin Balko, 1885 county
champ and brother Of Ted, husked
1730 pounds and had deductions of
46.5 pounds, placing twentieth
with 24.05 bushels net.
Crowd About 10000
Vern Joslin, editor of the Heron
Lake News, estimated the crowd
at 10000 and said over 1000 cars
were counted, the largest total at
any state contest. He also stated
that Ted's gallery was large and a
considerable handicap as much
corn was tramped down in spite
of efforts to keep the crowd back.
The day was cloudy and too warm
for the huskers, turning cooler
early in the afternoon.
Ted's rule of Minnesota huskers
began in 1880 when he picked "a
Ia bushels for state honors. That
year he was second in the national
meet. In 1881 he husked 1877
bushels for second place in the
state and beat the Minnesota
champ at the national, finishing
third. In 1892 he was on top again
with 25.13 bushels in the state
contest but slipped to fourth in
the national while in 1888 he was
first in the state and fifth in the
national which was held in Ne
'braska. It was not until 1884
that he was able to outdistance
both state and national contest
ants.

BUS MAY TAKE
FANS TO MEET

Assuming that quite a num-
ber of husking fans will want
to attend the national meet,
an inquiry has been made con-
cerning the cost of chartering
a bus which would leave Red
wood Falls early Thursday
and return from Indiana Sat-
urday. The expense would
amount to $3.50 per passen-
ger if a load of SO could be
obtained.
Additional expense items
would be hotel rooms for two
nights, probably at Peoria,
Illinois, and meals. Persons
interested in making the trip
should contact The Gazette
or the county agents office.
