ORVILLE THORSON WINS THE HOLT COUNTY CORN HUSKING CONTEST The first husking contest that has been held in Holt county was held at j the Parker farm occupied by John Booth, just east of O’Neill last Wed nesday afternoon. Seven contestants entered the race jto determine who could husk the most corn in one hour and twenty i minutes according to the rules of the J state contest conducted by the Nebr- | aska Farmer at Lincoln; the winner of this contest, Orville Thorson, re siding north of O’Neill, will enter the state contest to be held Tuesday, November 12th, at the Ben Stalp farm, seven miles north of West! Point, Nebraska. The event is expected to be one of the largst of its kind to be held in the United States this year, both j from the standpoint of entries and number of spectators. It is hoped, too, that the speed of husking at the Nebraska contest will be just a little faster than at any of the other seven state contests. The contest will begin \ promptly at 10 o’clock in the morn- j ing. Cash prizes of $200 will be paid by ' The Nebraska Farmer to the five fastest huskers in the following or der First, $100; second, $50; third, $25; fourth, $15; and fifth, $10. In addition to the cash prize, the win ner will be awarded a free trip to the national contest, to be held near Platte City, Missouri, November 15. The second place winner, or runner up, also will be permitted to enter the national contest. The corn was weighed at the farm of Col. James Moore, a short dis tance from the field where the con test was held. James Timlin was the official weigher; W. C. Templeton, (1. E. Miles and Floyd Pilger were the judges. Col. Moore was in charge, of the contest and looked after the details and prior arrangements. Mr. Moore has asked The Frontier to ex press his thanks and appreciation to all those who contributed in any way toward the contest—especially those who furnished teams and wagons, acted as gleaners, and those who as sisted in the judging and carrying out the wishes of the sponsors of the contest. i ne crowd who watched the con test from a distance were very or derly and considerate and remained a considerable distance from the huskers.
