HOLT COUNTY CORN LEADS MIDDLE-WEST1 IN QUALITY Holt county corn is leading the mid dle-west in quality this year and it is probable that when the final figures are in it will be found that the county also is leading the state in the num ber of bushels produced. Because of the small quantity of moi^ure in its corn as compared with that produced in eastern*. Nebraska and Iowa, Holt county com is commanding a premium and topping the market at Omaha, Sioux City and other grain centers. Eastern Nebraska and Iowa com has been grading No. 5 and lower on the moisture test, while the lowest Holt county corn has gone is No. 3, an<J most of it now is grading No. 2, ac cording to the grain men. This means that corn from Holt county is in de mand for storage, as the other first must be put through the Uriers to pre vent it from heating and molding. “Holt county's corn crop is one of the best and the largest in the state,” says Manager V. B. Jones of the O’Neill Grain company, which is hand ling from three to four thousand bush els from the country tributary to O’Nteill, daily. “Tests for mosture now are made here, just as they.are made by the government grain * in spectors at the primary markets, and they show that very little, if any, of the county’s corn is grading below number 3. As the season is advance ing the grade is improving as the crop dries out, and much of our corn now is grading number 2. Eastern corn, owing to the wet summer and fall, is not in the class with Holt county com this year.” While the county never has posed as the largest producer of corn in the state, here are a few of the com grow ers around O’Neill, with the number of bushels of No.’s 2 and 3 corn they will have on the market this fall: E. F. Barnes, 15,000 bushels; Thom as Cooper, 5,000; Oscar Newman, 10, 000; Charles Jenkins, 18,000; J. H. Ritts and sons, 12,000; Hickey brothers, 12,000; Joe Goeke, 8,000; F. J. Dishner, 30,000; T. J. Donohoe, 15, 000;- John and Frank Murray, 15,000; Naughton brothers, 15,000; W. G. Armbuster, 18,000; H. R. Roseler, 6, 000; James Fleming, 5,000; Joe Souk up, 6,000; Peter Claussen, 15,000. • _ HOLT COUNTY CORN PICKERS MAY CONTEST FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP It may be necessary for the O’Neill Commercial club to hold an elimina tion contest between Holt county corn pickers to decide just who is the champion corn picker of Nebraska. While various counties of the state have been claiming this honor for favorite sons, three local men in the territory tributary to O’Neill have been plugging along without any brass bands, each taking out and cribbing a record breaking number of bushels of corn a day. So good is each of the three that it is very hard to judge be tween them. Last Saturday John Davis, of Page, believed that he had established the record for the year when he husked and cribbed 175 bushels of cron in nine hours and thirty-six minutes. John's claim had hardly been broad casted however when James Kelly, re siding northeast of O’Neill, came in with a day's showing of 160 bushels husked and cribbed in eight hours and seven minutes. It is doubtful whether GRADY’S GROCERY Phones--68-126 any other husker in this state or Iowa has equalled either showing so far this fall. Alofcg with these two who are claiming championship recogni tion is J. M. Riley, shucking on the Geers' place, the old Shea place, north of town. Mr. Riley’s backers believe him to be the best continuous corn picker in the middle west, although he has no single day's total as large as either of the others. Mr. Riley has bean averaging 147 bufhels of corn picked and cribbed a day of eight 7"9'1"" »1W-"T'TIBT."in .. hours for the last twenty ^working days. Riley is working in com which is only running 55 bushels to the acre, owing to theexceatfpgly wet summer. Davis /»nd Kelly are working in 80 bushel com, Which i* .a'liUre Jignt" be cause of the WOtnesS. All three have been using rubber husking mittens. If any other> count* in the state ha a husker who can equal the record of any one of the three named gentle men The Frontier, would be glad to hear from them. ____-____La_ilk_ f * \ ‘.4 - ~*r— Repair Work k . * * =•<*. - , *0* , -!■■■—!■■ ■ ■■ ..
