Whiteside county's tug o'war team 

 wrested the crown from the strong Ver- 

 milion team which has held the title 

 for the past two years. In another of 

 the special events, Turner Mayfield, 

 Adams, earned the plaudits of the 

 crowd by winning the woodchopping 

 contest for the third successive year. 

 He chopped through a nine-inch hick- 

 ory log in 1 minute and .6 seconds. 



Also defending his hog calling title 

 successfully for the third year in a row 

 was Alfred DeCap, Whiteside. Ac- 

 cording to the judges, DeCap's voice 

 had 1. The greatest carrying power, 

 reaching out to the back field; 2. The 

 best appeal to the hog, denoting hon- 

 esty and a firm conviction that supper 

 is ready; 3. The most variety; pigs, 

 they -say, get tired of the same old 

 monotonous calls; 4. The most origi- 

 nal; the hog must know his master's 

 voice; and 3. The clearest and most 

 musical; pigs apparently are lovers of 

 good music. 



At noon Thursday, Russell Parks of 



WLS introduced a number of the early 

 winners to the radio audience over the 

 Dinnerbell Hour program. President 

 Charles B. Shuman and lAA Director 

 Otto Steffey, Stronghurst, festival chair- 

 man, also spoke.

At the final session, held in Huff 

 gymnasium starting with the Dinner- 

 bell Hour Friday, many of the cham- 

 pions were introduced to the audience 

 mcluding Miss Farrell, the Queen of 

 Sports, and her court which included 

 about two dozen girl winners in all 

 types of competition. 



The traditional lAA Staff-Farm Ad- 

 visers game was won for the third 

 straight year since the war by the boys 

 from Chicago by a score of 10-1. 



Any way you look at the Sports Fes- 

 tival, it was a great show. In size and 

 variety of musical, dancing, and sports 

 events it probably cannot be equaled 

 by any rural group in the nation. If 

 you didn't get to the festival this year 

 you missed a great deal. Why don't 

 you plan now on attending the festival 

 in 1949? Tell your farm adviser you 

 want to get on one of the county teams. 

 Because only by participation can yon 

 get the fullest enjoyment out of the 

 Illinois Farm Sports Festival.
