SOME ’TATERS
Our farmer friend Geo.
T. Hay, who resides on Mr.
E. E. Jeffries farm one mile
west of MeCrory, has broken
all records here for growing
large sweet potatoes.
A few weeks ago he
brouhgt to town a sweet po
tato weighing nine pounds
and 12 ounces. Later he
made a special trip to town
with a still larger one which
weighed 12 pounds and ten
ounces. This gave him the
championship, but when he
dug his potatoes in the sandy
land portion of his patch last
week, he uncovered what is
said to be the largest potato
ever seen here and possibly
one that can not be excelled
anywhere in the state. The
potato which resembles a
small pumpkin weighed 15
pounds and 15 ounces and is
now on display at the Bank
of MeCrory.
The th^ee potatoes weighed
38 pounds and fr* ounces.
