Brother Dixon Had 71 Pumpkins From One Vine Rev. Eddie Dixon himself says it is true and you’ll just have to believe a preacher. He had a pumpkin vine he wanted to destroy and so he cut it off at the main stem. It was a wet season and the pumpkin vine took root again and continued to grow. Then Brother Dixon cut it off at the stem again. The pumpkin vine politely took root a second time and grew and grew. Brother Dixon, being a kind hearted man, decided to let the pumpkin vine do its worst — or its best — and it did its best. It produced 71 pump kins, count ’em, as Brother Dixon did. Now, I believe you will ad mit that 71 pumpkins from ONE vine, after the vine was cut off twice, was really SOME PUMPKINS. Brother Dixon said he would bring the editor of this paper a pumpkin. And well he may because he would still have 70 pumpkins left.
