OF seed potatoes Is that the selection
is started at digging time instead Of
at blossom time. Leaf mosaic. curl

WHY?
Copyright. 1920 by
Wheeler Syndicate. Inc
why is Sing Sing So Namedi

Like many other penal institutions
through America and Europe, the
famous prison OF Sing Sing owes its
name. through a peculiar modifica-
tion. to the name OF the town in
which II is situated. The original
name of this town was Ossining,
title OF Indian derivation which the
white settlers appropriated and cor
rupted into Sing Sing" which
eventually became the official name of
the town itself.
When the prison was erected it.,
too, was christened Sing Sing, but, as
the grim structure became more and
more widely known. the inhabitants OF
the town, which was by no means so
famous. did not relish the odious as
sociation. Some years ago, therefore.
il was decreed that the name be
changed back to the original Indian
spelling OF "Ossining'H by which IL
is known Today. but the prison still
bears the corrupt pronunciation of
the early settlers-Sing Sing.
