Narrative:

I was doing power off stalls at 2500 ft and on about the 6TH stall I recovered and pushed carburetor heat and throttle in and the engine quit. I then trimmed the plane for best glide at 60 KTS and commenced to go through emergency checklist. I then tried to restart which failed. I called 47N to tell them I was going down with engine out with approximately location. I had a farm field picked for landing and decided to land parallel to rows of cut corn and set it down as slow as it would fly with nose up. It was a very soft field. The plane rolled about 50 ft and came to a stop without any damage to plane or injury to myself. I believe the problem may have been a possibility of carburetor ice or the throttle may have been pushed in too abruptly.

I THEN TRIMMED THE PLANE FOR BEST GLIDE AT 60 KTS AND COMMENCED TO GO THROUGH EMER CHKLIST. I THEN TRIED TO RESTART WHICH FAILED.

THE PLANE ROLLED ABOUT 50 FT AND CAME TO A STOP WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO PLANE OR INJURY TO MYSELF. I BELIEVE THE PROB MAY HAVE BEEN A POSSIBILITY OF CARB ICE OR THE THROTTLE MAY HAVE BEEN PUSHED IN TOO ABRUPTLY.
