inches in length and is about
an inch and a hivf in diameter
at the largest part. The potato
was grown by E. D. Bowers, a
Wood county farmer living 8
miles southwest of Winnsljoro.
Mr. Bowers gathered 62 bushels
from a three-quarter acre patch
which he says was a good yield,
considering that half of the
patch was set too late and did
no good.
