Anderson Is Some
Farmer Besides Being
A Good Editor
Wins His Own Prize For
Potatoes
Macon, Dec. 9—The sweet pote
to contest inaugurated in the
spring by W. T. Anderson, of the
Macon Telegraph in which he chal
lenged all of the members of the
Georgia press to prove their right
to discuss farming and agriculture
by beating him growing sweet po
tatoes has come to a close and Mr.
Anderson has awarded himself his
prize of $5O in cash for the largest
vield on one acre. |
His acre produced 333 bushels,
Ii cost $142.20. They were of the
Triumph variety. They were fer
tilized with 1,000 pounds of acid,
600 pounds of cottonseed meal and
400 pounds of muriate of potash.
The potatoes were measured in a
bushel meacure and each bushel
was leveled in the same way that
patatoes are sold to a customer.
The potatoes are all smooth and
sweet and since becoming thor
oughly ripe are very fine quality.
They have been banked in the
old fashioned way, it beinr Mr,
Anderson’s intention to sell them
n the spring, when there are few
er of them in the market and pricesl
have improved.
Come and see the choice lot of
mules at the Planters Warehouse
and Loan Co. The prices are
right. 144tf,
