TOMATOES, POTATOES
GROWN ON ONE VINE
Mrs. Henry ChessOn of Wanchese
Plants Potatoes and Gets
Double Crop

Mrs. Henry Chesson of the
Baumtown section, Wanchese, has
a garden that would be remark
able by any standard. But one part
of her garden is downright ex-
traordinary.
Mrs .Chesson is raising tona-
toes and potatoes on the same
vines-and nobody is more sur
prised than Mrs. Chesson. Or, per-
haps, one man is more surprised =
Hub Davis, who sold Mrs. Chesson
the seed potatoes from which the
strange plants were grown. The
entire plot of what-should-be-spuds
works at production both above and
below ground - it's producing an
excellent crop of potatoes and the
plots plants are all bearing clust-
ers of tomatoes.
We've had the opinion of a good
number of veteran gardeners on
the sport-including Mrs. Andrew
Til.ett, Mrs. Lyna Harbour and
George Hale Quidley-and none Of
them had ever snrr anything like
the odd vines before.
MRS. Chesson said on Wednes-
Iday that Johnny Watts had made
tte c,igjral discovery of the to-
Ilrato-pOtatoes. Johnny is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Watts, s,.l-
in-law sEd daughter of Mrs. Ches-
son She had said in Johnnv's
hearing that she was afrail she
wouldn't have any tomatoes this
year. "Oh. yes, you will" corrected
young Jchn. "Therc're lots Of them
on the potato vines." "Oh, s:ni"
Mrs. Chesson said wearily, but she
went On out with Johnny to see
what KIND of mistake he had made
about the plants--in much the
same attitude of skepticism that
your reporter had in going to in
vesljgate the report of the freak
plants. But there they were-tom;a-
toes and potatoes, growing on The
same vines.
And now a final note for SIX ipt-
les: of course, you don't believe in
such tomato -potatoes--but If you'll
take the trouble t. l,ok in tn. cis-
play window at the Times of ice,
you can see '.ln for yoursel"

able to extract Ilmenite from these
sands, there would be a consider

running into millions.
Ilmenite says Webster's, is an
iron-black mineral of sub metallic

1t is a compound of iron, titanium
