thou, it Is explained that what bull fighting is to Spain and big game hunting is to the Roosevelts, corn shucking is to rural athletes of middle America. Object of the “Game" The game or Job is to break from 10-foot corn stalks all the ears on eac h stalk in a given number of corn rows, pull the husks from each ear, and toss each ear into a wagon pulled by horses as you walk down the row. Done ad high speed, the result is akin to the combined antics of a tap dance, human fly, dumbbell swinger, bell ringer and 200-yard dash man. The Renz farm has been laid out properly for the field’ sport extravaganza which has attracted entrants from most of the corn growing states, including Illinois, lowa, Missouri, Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and neighboring states. The spectacle of high speed shuckers. several thousand spectators, horse drawn wagons. Judges and radio an nouncers put into a stampede in a 39-acre field was expected to rival the sound and sight effects of a well planned “talkie" mob scene. This feverish activity will extend over a period of one. hour and 20 minutes. the length of the contest. The contestants face the job of shucking 3.120 bushels of corn in that period. The Renz farm grew from 10 to 12-foot corn of high yield on the selected acreage which was expected to produce 80 bushels an acre. Each contestant wifi be required to shuck two rows of corn at a time, known as “lands" of action. Field rules for the event rival the

I best laid plans of an Olympic meet. Het ween each two rows upon which a corn Juggling athlete will race have been provided lanes for spectators. After the shuekers make their intial dash to work, fences will be let down and spectators will follow the action for a close up view. A radio loud 'speaker network has been set up 'to carry a "stalk by stalk” running description of the race. The thousands of corn shucking fans expected to arrive over especially marked routes to the field arena will be fed and housed through file combined efforts of the county Sunday schools and Chamber of Commerce. Crowds will be fed at the field. Olson to Defend Title Up from the corn stalked fields of Illinois came husky Husker Walter Olson, present title holder, to defend his laurels. Other entrants numbered two from each state, the winner and runnerup in state contests. Rules of the contest Include: Object: To determine the contestant who can husk into the wagon the largest amount of ear corn, and who shall at it he same time, husk all the ears on the rows assigned, such ears being reasonably free front husks. Time: Husking shall continue for one hour and 20 minutes. Place: Field will be selected in which rows are as long as can be found available. Equipment: Each contestant will draw straws for a team and driver, and said driver to keep as close to the husker as the husker directs. Two gleaners will follow each husker to pick up al Ithe corn which he leaves behind or which misses the wagon. Husking: Four ounces of husks will be allowed to each 100 pounds of corn. Winner: The man credited with the largest number of pounds of ear corn after deducting amount of corn left unhusked in the field and deducting for excessive husks left on ears in the wagon. Left-handed shuekers will be'given special rows. o The men of the Evangelical Church are sponsoring a Father and Son Banquet. which will be an event of Friday evening. The banquet will be served in the dining hall in the church basement. The dinner will be served at 6 o’clock, and an interesting program and entertainment has been planned. The dinner will be prepared and served by the members of the Loyal Daughters class of the Evangelical Sunday school.
