SOME NICE POTATOES
ARE GROWN HERE

The growing Of potatoes is not
generally regarded as q profitable
industry in this portion OF the Ark
ansas valley and comparatively few
OF them are planted In consequence.
Occasionally. however. conditions are
favorable for them and excellent
results are obtained by planters.
This season appears to be one of
the exceptions and "spuds" Of fine
quality are reported from various
parts OF the county.
Benjamin Steinmeier has q potato
patch on his ranch on -Four Mile that
promises a splendid crop He brought
some of them to town last week and
cerated a surprise by their size.
smoothness and edible qualities. The
fact that he was able to harvest new
potatoes by the Fourth OF July indi-
Gates judicious planting and good
cultivation. Potatoes raised In this
latitude are not often marketed as
early in the summer as this. Some
of the "spuds" brought to town by
Mr.. Stinemeier are on exhibition In
the window Of the Record office
where they may be seen by al
passers along Main Street.
