What is believed to be a record husking corn by hand in this commun ity, was made about two weeks ago by Donald Hanson on his father's, Dave Hanson’s, farm three miles north of Roland, formerly known as the L. T. Olson farm. Donald went into the corn field on Friday morning, November 21, to see how much corn he could husk in a certain length of time. He worked for nine hours and forty minutes, 580 minutes, and picked a total of 208 bushels on six loads. His father hauled in the corn and unloaded it, bringing the empty wagon back to the field. The field in which he picked the corn averaged 90 bushels to the acre.
