POWELL BUTTE MAN
WORLD "SPUD" KING
Raised Only Perfect Potato
Judges Ever Saw
TOOK FIRST OVER FfflOXE
S. D. Mustard Received $100
Cash Prize, Many Ribbons
and All Honors
S. D. Mustard of Powell Butte is
the Potato champion of the world.
While Mustard and with him the
Powell Butte district has been forg
ing ahead for years in the produc
tion of potatoes, the honors claimed
by R. L. Schee for him at the Land
Products show last week in Port
land were attained somewhat sooner
than he or any of his friends really
anticipated.
JiThe soil and climate conditions in
Crook County are ideal for the pro
duction of a perfect potato.
The judges at the show found that
Mr. Mustard had some perfect
spuds, and a lot of others that were
near perfect. The decision was
gained over Ansel Smith of Canada,
who took first at all the big shows
last year, and came to Portland
with the avowed intention of clean
ing up everything in sight, but he
overlooked the Powell Butte district
and S. D. Mustard, and that is why
hi plans miacarried-thiS year.
The Mustard potatoes scored an
average of 97 points out of a pos
sible 100 which included 10 separ
ate varieties.
One of his Netted Gem potatoes
is now on display in one of the lead
ing jewelry stores in Portland Mr.
Schee says, draped in plush, with a
card giving the name of the grower
and the location of his farm. It is
the only article in the window, and
is attracting much attention.
As a result of the nublicitv train
ed by these potatoes, all the surplus
stock in the country will no doubt
find a ready sale in Portland at a
good figure.
The disDlav contained a number
of other articles besides potatoes,
selected from all Darts of the countv.
and was taken care of in a credit
able manner by Mr. Schee, who
should be given considerable credit
lor the honors won there.
