long Potato Vines
W. A. Moore of route 1, .near
Hazelau Electric Elation, yester
day brought in a potato vine seven
feet, one Inch in length. The
Meeds were! planted April .5 and
were never irrigated. The entire
field is about four feet tall. On
the one brought In to The States
man office there were four po
tatoes weighing about one pound
each. Mr. Moore concludes that
there must be something In the
soil of this country that makes
things grow. Although this 13 the
driest year ever known, his po
tato Tines are the longest ever
known. He reasons well that there
must be some sustaining sub
stance in the -soil.
