Tramp Swindles in Corn Harvest and Local Oddities
A farmer hires a tramp to husk corn at three cents a bushel with bonuses if over a hundred. The man boasts, hustles, and records inflated counts, ending with payment for one hundred twenty-five bushels though only one hundred forty were real. The tale blends later notes of cures by Dr. King’s New Discovery, a soap ad, and a pair of humorous street anecdotes, including a penny-bet prank and a horse sale turned joke.
