"Towi Farmers" of Laulrenis Cotton Mills Leave a "Boiquet" of Big Yamis. The Garden l0ditor Is in receipt of another "shipiment" of flne garden pro ducts, this time sweet potatoes grown under the directioti of those "town farmers" at the Laurens Cotton Mills. The potatoes are of the Porto Rico variety and pretty large but the weight was not given. They are blenty large enough to eat, however, and will be used to advantage. The following let ter, which was found on the office desk, gives a little inside history of these choice yams: Garden Editor, The Laurens Advertiser: From 1.43 acres of land, twe have gathered 507 1-2 bushels of sweet po tatoes. This is at the rate of 355 hiushels per acre. This, we know, is not a record, but Is pretty good when rowing "taters" is a side-line.
