first two innings ii looked as though
he had tackled harder problem than
he could handle. Then he began to
show his true form and Boston was
doing the guessing at prize puzzle

Large Potatoes

We have small basket of Early
Rose potatoes on exhibition in this Of
flee which were presented us by Judge
5. 5. Smith. They were raised in his
garden In town, and are certainly some
thing wonderful for this section. There
tn potatoes in the basket and they
weigh eleven pounds. the largest one
weighing / 3 pounds and measuring
"A inches in length and ga inches
around. 1t would only take about 90
OF these potatoes to make bushcl OF
60 pounds. Judge Smith planted a
half bushcl of potatoes, from which he
realized five or six bushels, and fully n
bushcl of them averaged about the size
OF those presented us; the others are
OF unusual size. When it is taken into
consideration that this is not par,icu-
larry potato-growing section, this
small crop of Judge Smiths is some.
thing phenomenal.
