Among the crops raised in Barre
during the present season is one/of
sweet potatoes, usually considered a
southern product The potatoes were
raised by Arthur w. Robinson on some
| light soil in the rear of his house at
| Phelps mills, and while the crop has
not been large it has been of suifi-
cient proportions TO enable Mr.. Rob-
| inson to have sweet potatoes at inter
walls ever since the middle of August
and TO have about bushel and a half
in prospect. The plants, known as
Early Nasemond," were set out by
him late in May and they have pro-
duced potatoes of the average size I'M
ported for the Vermont market. Dir.
Robinson is planning TO 60 into the
sweet potato business more extensive
" another year, having found out
that the potatoes grow quite readily
here.
And now It's the vegetables that
are getting cantankerous. Mrs. Oscar
Johansson. of Newton street planted
pumpkins and they grew AS all respect
able pumpkins should. One of them,
however, and little rascal at that,
fastened itself TO the chicken wire
around the place and daily took a
tighter grip. Finally one day Mrs.
Johansson discovered the trick and it
looked as though certain pumpkin
was about TO get the lesson of its life.
No such thing, however. Pull. push,
tug and tussle as she would, Mrs.
Johansson could not get the pumpkin
free and she was forced TO cut the
perfectly good wire. The pumpkin was
brought to The Times Office as proof
of the story and sure enough there
