Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 August 1912 — Some Potato This. [ARTICLE]

Some Potato This.

Mrs. Candace Patzschke, formerly Miss Candace Brown of Rensselaer, sends Democrat a post-card from her present home near Barnesville, Minn., with a picture of the kind of potatoes they raise out there. She has the modesty, however, to say that this potato was raisod by a neighbor, and that they do not expect to grow any as large. This is -surely some “spud”. It has been jacked up and loaded on regular moving rollers, and a traction engine is being used to pull it away. A man on a telephone pole is evidently directing the moving operations, but even he, on top of the tall telephone pole, is unable to see over the top of the huge potato. Barnesville and vicinity must be a great potato country.
