IAN MAKES INSPECTION
Sweet potatoes that averaged more
than 400 bushels to the acre and
some Netted Gems that made 648
bushels to the acre were brought to
Hermiston Saturday by A. D. Smith
from his farm seven miles South­
west of town. One of the sweet po­
tatoes, of the Nancy Hall variety,
weighed a little over three pounds.
This section will produce the fin­
est potatoes in the country according
to Mr. Smith who has been here
since 1903. There is no reason why
the project should not rank among
the leading potato sections of the
United States, he says, if the proper
attention is given their production.
There was but one shack where
Hermiston now stands when Mr.
Smith came here 19 years ago. He
has seen it develop from nothing
into a thriving town of more than
700 in the heart of one of the rich­
est agriculture sections in Oregon.
