John volk was the winner of the prize,
a So so gold piece, in the potato contest
Saturday evening. 1t was quite on anus
ing affair Six contestants entered and
six tin plates were spread apart on bench
at the end of the hall. Two rows of benches
were placed across the centre of the room,
and at the other end row Of potatoes
we're placed on the floor. The idea was to
pick up potato with a spoon and carry it
to the plate, crossing over the benches
without knocking them down. If a potato
was dropped it had to be taken back. The
fun came when the last potato remained on
the floor and all tried to pick it up. None
succeeded, however, as it was cut in pieces
by the spoons. John is quite farmer, as
he gathered nine potatoes in his plate,
more he says, than he will eat in month
