FOUR POTATOES IN ONE HILL
WEIGH CLOSE TO SIX POUNDS
Mr. Duncan' MacLeod of town has
just harvested a potato crop that
will take some beating.
In one hill' were four monster
potatoes, all smoothand uniform in
size. t e four of them weighed 53ia'
pound, just lacking four ounces of Pearlman; bed spread by Mrs. Hol -
averaging 11/2. pounds each. In the
hill, which bulged the ground, there"
were also two average . size mar-
phies. .
The first of this week Mr. • Mac,
Leod • harvested the crop and off a
space, scarcely '•40" feet by„ 32 feet
he raised 10 bushels of potatoes,
and this did not include What had
been used. from !the patch since
summei. Figuring it :out it appears::
that 'a conservative estimate would
.place this crop on a basis of • 350•
bushels to,the acre. • .
