ALASKA SPUDS
During the early part of October,
| George Walker sent a small box of
! native spuds, grown by Henry Han
| ford, to liis brother In Waterloo,
I New York, and a number of clip
! pings from outside papers, which
j he received in return, indicate that
| they aroused consiiderable interest
in the East. A clipping from the
Seueca Falls (New York) Post-Stan
dard shows the impression made in
the East. It says:
'Waterloo, Nov. 3—David Walk
er, of East Edlisha street, today
received a package by parcel post
from his brother, Georeg Walker,
of Fairbanks, Alaska, containing ten
potatoes, which were raised on the
farm of Henry Hanford, near that
town.
"The ten potatoes weigh a little
over six pounds, and, from outside
appearances, look to be the same
as will be 'ound in any garden in
this section. The largest is four in
iciios long, one ond one-half inches
in diameter, and weighs 14 ounces.
Three of them are of the Pink Eye
| variety, two are Rough Skin Reds,
land the other five aro the Early
I Eureka.
"Eac'j potato bears a golden label
i advertising the city of Fairbanks,
with the inscription, "There is a
I soft spot in it for you."—Fairbanks
