John II. Tilley's big 1ss-pound
squash did not win the prize at the
state fair. as It was delayed in ship
ment. and did not arrive at the ground
until after the prizes had been award
ed But IT was placed on exhibition in
a prominent place by the fair board.
where IL was eyed with wonder by
probably 100000 people. and by its
side the prize squash. which was raised
in the valley. and weighed 66 pounds,
looked like a baby beside its mother.
John says he will raise bigger one
next year. just to show 'em what
Wheeler county's fertile soil is capable
OF. and that he will have II at Salem
a week or two ahead of time. It may
interest the public to know that the
mammoth 1Ss-pounder was only one
of fifteen squashes that grew on the
same vine this year. the average
weight Of which was so pounds, the
total being 1900 pounds. Mr.. Tilly
brought in two Of them yesterday.
which weighed so and n pounds, re-
spectively, which he sold to George
Clark.
II is commonly reported that a
squash can be grown TO an enormous
size by feeding it milk, but Mr.. Tilly
let his big squashos do their own rust.
ling for subsistence. He simply plant
ed them on his homestead and nature
did the rest. He did not even put an
ounce Of fertilizer on the ground
Mr.. Tilly has a brother or sister to
the big squash that he estimates
weighs about 10 pounds, and this one
he is advised to send to the permanent
exhibit in Portland. and may yet con.
clude to do so. He had hardly thought
his biggest one would be big enough
TO win a prize at the state fair, and
only sent II at last after much persua.
sion by his friends. who had been at
former fairs. and never seen anything
approaching the Tilley squash in size.
The vine containing the 10 big squash
es is over 100 feet long, and still grow.
