FINE FIGS AND PEANUTS RAISED NEAR THIS CITV The fact that South Mississippi is a; great fruit and vegetable growing country is being demonstrated more and more with each succeeding year. I As an additional evidence of this | Rev. L. E. Hall today exhibited some of the largest and finest figs that have ever been seen in the local market No such figs have ever.been shipped into Hattiesburg. They are of Ipi mense size—double at least, the usual size and the flavor was delicious. These figs came from small plantB set out in February of this year. From this it will be seen that the growth is rapid, and for quality and size, the figs could not be excelled even in Cal ifornia. It has been known for a long time that peanuts grew almost to perfection here and Mr. F. H. Hartzog, who has a truck farm near Harvey, has broken the record on the largest peanuts ever raised in Mississippi. He gave Circpit Cierk Mixon a few of these peanuts which are about double the size of the kind generally raised over the state. Unlike most large peanuts, these are not all hull and have but little larger hull than the ordinary size. These are just two instances that have been brought to the notice of the Daily News today, and there are no doubt many others that show what South Mississippi soil will do that have never been published.
