Corn Husking Feats Highlight 1900s Illinois Farms
Princeton Bureau county claims to favor local champions in corn husking with Porter Funderburg and Elmer Williams. Williams shucked 2 008 bushels in sixteen days, averaging 125.4 per day on John Armstrong’s farm near Henry county. Bureau champion Funderburg earlier did 1 000 bushels in eight days. Williams, 20, aims for steady wages rather than a record, while locals praise his skill and speed. Also Dr King’s New Discovery praised for coughs and lung issues with trials and guarantees.
