Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 November 1908 — Husks Corn With One Hand. [ARTICLE]

Husks Corn With One Hand.

John Windier, a farmer living near Earl Park, has demonstrated- bis ability as a corn busker in spite of his having but one hand. Mr. Windier husks on an average of eighty-five bushels of corn a day and scoops it into the crib. Last fall, on a wager, he husked ninety-five bushels in ten hours and the corn was exceptionally free from husks. Mr. Windier breaks the ear over his wrist, but apparently husks with as much ease as does the average man with two good hands—lndianapolis Star.
