Vacant Lots Make Big Potato Yield.

Instead of letting their vacant lots
at DeQueen and Port Arthur avenue
grow up in weeds, Mr. and Mrs.
Claude Williford utilized the ground
for growing sweet potatoes. The crop
was harvested Thursday and Mr. Will
liford reports that 103 bushels of
sweet tubers were gathered and stor-
ed in the potato warehouse He es-
Inmates that at least 10 bushels more
were not gathered. The ground where
the potatoes were grown is the site
of the old Randolph barn, and a pc
culiar fact is that considerable por-
ton of the plot scarcely produced any
tubers, the ground being so rich the
plants made nothing but vines.
