Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 November 1908 — A Challenge Corn Contest. [ARTICLE]

A Challenge Corn Contest.

The Republican office will di pic y for some .time a stalk of corn containing two full sized ears of corn, which its raiser claims is the best two ear stalk in Jasper county. Rob.rt Michael is the owner and his proposition is to challenge all corn growers in the county, and if any farmer produces a better two ear product from one stalk Bob will set ’em up to the oysters, and if the challenge is accepted and the contestant fails to bring in corn that beats his, two ears to the stalk, the other fellow sets up the bivalves. In either event the Republican editor is to figure in on the stew. Now, if theie are any two-ear corn growers in Jasper county let them step forth.
