Carl is a tittle chap, ’bout knee high to a big Jackson County Pekin duck, and he has a little garden in which he plays ‘‘The Man With the Hoe” act pretty regular ly. This year Carl concluded that he would prove to the world that Eagle Point soil will produce some prize stuff besides big onions, so he raised a few cucumbers just for the benefit of Missourians and others who have to be "shown.” The other day he sent to the HERALD office, for exhibition purposes, a sample cucumber from his garden which meas ures 27 inches one way and 11 inches t h e other. The H e k a LD has measured this cucumber and it is ready to stand by the measurement. The specimen is on exhibition in the H f .RALD show win- sdo>v and anyone who doubts the meas urement is at liberty to come in and measure this wonder himself, on the following terms: If our measurement is found not to be correct, we give you a year’s subscription to the H erald free.
