Mr.. Ernie Morton, of Centertown,
is the Burbank of Ohio county. What
Mr.. Morton doesn't raise in his ex-
periments isn't worth mentioning
He is druggist by trade, but a wiz
ard by nature, and makes old mother
earth produce just about what he
calls for regardless of climatic con-
ditions. DIR. Pirtle received a ba-
mana bloom through the mail the
other day, postmarked "Centertown"
and Doc didn't know whether ii was
a wall flower or an Adams apple
blossom until Mr.. Morton 'phoned
him. The statement that bananas
are growing right here in Ohio coun-
ty is a little hard to believe but is
nevertheless the truth. Morton has
several bushes and one of them con-
tains nineteen young bananas. If
his taste does not call for bananas
the Wizard will pluck a delicious ap-
pie from a nearby tree, and nothing
gives that tody a better flavor than
the juice from one of those home
grown lemons.
