Mini Cole . . . lie’* 5-ft. 11 In. und the corn tower* above. The Frontier Photo. Simple Set of Rules for Bull Riders No rodeo event more danger ous to the contestant than bull riding. Perhaps because of this, figuring the bull rider has enough on his mind, the authors of ro deo's rule book gave it the sim plest set of rules. Everything that needs to be said alxnjt the event is summed up in six short paragraphs total ling 150 words. About all the cow boy has to do is hang on for an eternity of eight seconds. To help him hang on all he can use is a loose rope without knots or hitches. Held around the heav ing, ton-heavy brute simply by the pressure of the rider’s grip, the rope must fall off when the ride is over. Unlike the bronc riders, the bull rider isn't required to spur, either on the first jump out of the chutes or later the ride. Hut spurring, if he’s able to do any, will earn him extra points. And the dull spurs, tucked into the loose folds of the Brahma's hide, help him hold his precarious perch. Hull rides are marked with the same spread—from 1 to 20 points for the rider and 65 to 85 points for the bull as the other rifling evtiiis. out- ^nuo'. - * • ~ * is less that can be done to make a good bull ride letter, the top scores for the rider are usually lower. A contestant who sticks to the whistle upright in his seat will usually mark about 10. A score of 14 is unusually good. Mark the rider down if you see him lean ing to one side or hunched for ward over the brahma’s hump. The only other bull riding rule common with the bronc riding events is that the ride must be made with only one hand, the other held free. Otherwise the ride is qualified as long as the riding hand is on any part of the bull rope- and the twister hasn t hit the ground—when the whistle blows. . , As though the bull needed any thing to encourage him to buck, the bull rope must have a bell that angles and clanks under the brute's belly throughout the ride. If there are few rules to re strict the rider there are none to hamper the bulls. Endowed with a permanently murdeous at titude toward humans, they re sort to anything to dump the cowl toy so they can trample or gore him. A favorite trick is to throw tbe rider forward with a heaving kick behind, then hook up at him with their huge, banana shaped horns. Another lethal type is the spin ner who swaps ends for the eight seconds like a freight car caught in a tornado. Hair-raising tactics like these make the ride harder 1> __ Hay Company’s Corn Doing Well EMMET—For first-year corn raisers, G. Owen (“Bud’i Cole and Robert (“Bob”) Cole are do ing okay. This spring they conceived the Idea of converting three patches of cattle feed yards adjacent to Emmet into corn. They even went so far as to install an irriga tion system for one of the acre ages located immediately south of town What happened? The sandy loam soil that for many years served as a cattle feed lot has been tranforined in to lush fields of corn. The stalks stretch up to nine feet in height. The Coles who operate the Emmet Hay company, don't profess to bo coin farmers but their friends tell them they are sitting on a crop that will do 90-to 100-bus. per acre. Eeven though an irrigation wels, pump and equipment have been provided the corn has been doing i right well on mother nature’s moisture. They have yet to turn on the pump. Only fertilizer has been the re sidue from the feed lot. Meanwhile, the “branch corn office” of the Emmet Hay com pany is getting ready for the corn (Acking season.

In the other riding events you 11 see the judges posted in the arena a few yards out in front of the chutes, one on each side of the bronc.
