THE CESSNA 210 WAS CRUISING ENROUTE WHEN IT EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER WHICH THE PILOT ATTRIBUTED TO LOW FUEL/ EXHAUSTION. HE THEN ATTEMPTED AN APPROACH AT REIGLE FLD BUT WAS TOO LONG AND WENT AROUND. ON HIS SECOND APPROACH, HE WAS AGAIN HIGH AND LONG, AND WENT AROUND A SECOND TIME. ON DOWNWIND FOR HIS THIRD LANDING, THE ENGINE QUIT AGAIN. THE PILOT WAS FORCED TO LAND IN A CORNFIELD.
