CORNHUSKING BEE CHANPONSREADY President Will Set Off Start- Ing Bomb in National Contest Today. 87 the Associated Press. MARSHALL, Mo., Nov. 4—Twenty pairs of hardened hands reached to- day for the championship of agricul- ture’s greatest sporting spectacle, the National Cornhusking Contest. Thousands of excited spectators tramped over the rolling acres of the ‘Weber Bros. farm, 8 miles north of here, to watch the contestants, all trained to athletic perfection. The 20 represent the pick of cornhuskers from 10 States where hitting the bangboard is a major fall farm job. Contestants arrived yesterday, and tried out the corn in this area just to get the feel of it. Champions and runners-up from States other than Missouri said the corn did not re- act to their touch as it did back home, and attributed it to the fact there has been little rain here in recent weeks. ‘The corn, they said, seemed to pop from the stalk, but the husk had a tendency not to cling to the ears.

C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1937. = HOSFORD CLARFTES | HS RESOMATON Personal Affairs Alone Are Cause, Head of Coal Board Explains. Charles F. Hosford, chairman of the National Bituminous Coal Commission, announcing his resignation yesterday, denied it was prompted by dissension on the board or patronage troubles. Mr. Hosford said his attention had been called to an item in a local news- paper saying that “demands of patron- age” led to his resignation. “That statement is not true,” he declared. “But it is & fact that I have formally requested the President to relieve me of my obligations as soon as the work of establishing initial prices is completed, and this I antici~ pate will take place before the 1st of January.” The chairman added: “In September, 1935, I accepted appointment as a member ofthe first Coal Commission, since which time my entire efforts have been directed to securing a law for stabilization of the bituminous coal industry and set- ting up the necessary organization for administration of that law. “The two years I have spent in Washington have involved a greater financial sacrifice that I can continue to make, and personal circumstance alone impelled me to tender my resig- nation. “During recent months, efforts have been made to discredit the Coal Com- mission and its work by charges that its personnel is incompetent and that it has been selected solely for political reasons. The complete answer lies in the fact that today we have an ef- ficient and competent organization; in fact, considering the short space of time allowed for the work, I believe that an unusually good job has been done. It has also been reported,that mem- bers of the commission are hopelessly at odds, with the result that little, if any, work is being done, The answer to that story is that there has never been any division among members of the commission on any fundamental question of policy, and that after weeks of hearings, investigations and conferences, the work of arriving at minimum prices is nearing completion. These prices should be fully effective before Jgnuary 1, probably between December 10 and 15."% R LR Canaries Gave Us Sugar Cane.
