TIME TELLS OF
SPOTTY BALKO
LAND AT MEET

Win or lose, one of the out
standing characteristics OF Ted
BaIko, who has earned national
fame as a champion corn husker,
has been his refusal to offer any
rning resembling an alibi for set
backs in a sport where alibis are
plentiful.
Indeed few alibis have been
necessary in the career of the
Redwood Falls man whose poor
est Showings in seven state con-
tests have been two seconds and
whose lowest ranking among 18
state champions and runnersup in
seven national contests was sixth
last year. Week before last he
was fourth among 18 huskers in
slough-like field a thousand
miles from home husking condi-
tions, a triumph comparable with
nrst under conditions to which he
was accustomed.
Accounts of contests in farm
magazines, sponsors of the af-
fairs, quite naturally assume, al
ways, that contest fields are even
and fair to all huskers although
such conditions rarely, if ever,
exist.
But Time magazine, famed for
its accurate reporting and one of
the few important magazines
which have given adequate recog-
milton to the sport, had this to say
IN a two page account, including
pictures, of the Ohio contest:
"Best lands on Oyler's farm last
week were those at the ends of
the field chosen for the contest.
Having drawn one of the middle
lands, Minnesota's Ted Balko,
1884 champion, was handicapped
by rows so spotty that once he
found only three ears in Is feet,
of which one was so small that il
tlew through crack in the bang
board"

Proof of Glacier
In Brown County

Springfield Proof that gla-
cier passed over this section thou
sands of years ago was found at
Springfield recently.
Frank Groebner, employed at
the brick yard, found piece of
tree trunk while excavating clay
SO feet below the surface. The
specimen was sent to the botany
department of the University of
Minnesota for inspection.
Last week came reply that the
piece of wood is undoubtedly
glacial drift and represents
piece of tree that grew in pre-
glacial days some $4,000 to 50,-
600 years ago. The reason it was
so well preserved is because the
glacial clays and hardpan of that
region are quite tight and imper-
vious. Therefore it was well
sealed from agents of decay. The
specimen was given to the botany
department to add to its collection
of similar material.
