Jasper County Also Lays Claim to Largest Pumpkin.

In one of the windows of Roth Bros.’ meat market is an Arizona pumpkin that was grown on Indiana soil. Ed Ranton, a short distance northwest of town, secured seed from Arizona and planted it in a feed lot where the ground was very fertile. The pumpkin weighs 94 pounds and would make enough pies to last the appetite of the average Hoosier boy clear over Sunday.
