What A Strawberry.
s.sThis sounds ike a fish tale
and unfortunately we have no
picture to prove it isn't. tn e
evidence was eaten before we
heard of it. M. NJ Aaron grew
a strawberry which measured
nearly IL inches in circumfer-
ence, gave it to Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Willis who divided it for
breakfast Saturday morning
Willis says it was flattened on
both sides, but he measured ii
with a string, then measured the
string. Anyway, it was enough
for breakfast for two. If our
math is correct it must have
been at least four inches in di-
allIeter. What strawberry
