fixerupper; The exact lengths of the drags doesn't really matter now as I am not positve either now as it has been to long. I do remember these memeories though. the bet who would get the most rats stuck on the end of your corn rake. Its was sure funny finding out you could dance when one tried to go up your pant leg and some made it!!!. You seen all kings of (fruit of the Looms) somtimes.You learned the cribs to watch out for after that first time shelling in some cribs. Everybody tied there pant legs shut with baling twine or baling wire. We really got fancy when we finally used good old duct tape since we always had rolls of it in the cab of the sheller to patch thin spots in the metal or chuite canvas. The other dare (tough man) or kid who didn't know any better was to have another crew member hold ear of corn between his hands from both ends. The tough guy was to break it in half with a swing using the side of his hand. We had one fellow who could really do it allthe time!!!! I was dared to do it the first rookie season,never again though as my hand hurt for weeks and was black and blue!!!! This was are fun!!!! One fellow did break his hand!!!!. You get some of those dried out ears they are just like steel. To me the mice dancing activity was hilarious some days. Snakes well thats another story.
