-Casually~ ~remalking to a friend the
other day that Mr.. Andrew Burgoon, of
Clearfield township, had netted two
bushels of excellent potatoes from one
pound of seed, of the variety known as
the Compton Surprise" said friend sur
prised Ts by intimating that such pro-
life yield might be ''big thing for the
present day and generation, but that it
was susceptible of proof, and that one of
the earliest and most reputable settlers i'll
this region had, once upon time, more
than three-quarters of n century ago
walked from this place to Frankstown,
now in Blair county, from whence he re-
turned in the same way with a bushel of
potatoes on his shoulders, from which
potatoes the ''eyes" were carefully ex-
tracted, the balance of the pulp being
consumed by the family. These ''eyes"
were subsequently planted, and in due
course of time, produced 125 bushels of
good, sound potatoes. If this is true. and
we have no reason to doubt the fact, it is
the most remarkable feat in the potato
producing line that we have ever heard of,
and we venture to say that nothing can be
trotted out to equal it. The descendants
of the gentleman referred to are among
the most respectable and successful citi
zens of this place, at the present day, and
they can and will vouch for the correct
ness of this ''o'er true tale"
