Taylor, ll-14-4t FREAK POTATOES Nature plays peculiar pranks now and then, the most recent evidence we have seen of her freakishnesa is a trio of sweet potatoes brought to this office by Mr. W. I. Dupree. These po tatoes are so peculiar in their forma tion, being twisted, lapped and doub led and then twisted aome more, that evep-the sight of them makes one feel uncanny. According to Mr. Dupree’s statement they are the product of one vine. Of course there is no account- ing for their queer shape. Some oae who has seen them suggested that a witch must have passed over, under or through the hill. Regardless of the agency or combination of agen cies that brought the results, these are the queerest specimens of the product we have ever seen.
