sQUAsHES FROM ASH PILE.
Seeds Dropped AimIessIy, Receiving No
Attention, Bring Large Harvest.

Franklin, Ind-As Il result Of plant
ing four squash seeds in an ash pile
early in the summer H. G. Hoffman
gathered more than sixty large squash
es from the vines The squashes have
attracted the attention of half the peo-
pie here as Mr.. Hoffman lives only
two squares from the courthouse.
The seeds, thrown carelessly on the
ash pile and receiving no attention
whatever, except an occasional pan of
dishwater, grew SO rapidly that they
soon left his yard, entered the neigh
bors' yard and then climbed a wire
fence and covered it a half block from
their planting place.
Mr.. Hoffman delivered to all neigh
bors where his vines had trespassed a
large squash. Most Of the squasheS
were more than three feet long and Of
fine quality.
