RAISING MANY POTATOES IN
PENNSYLVANIA MOUNTAINS
JOHNSONBURG, Pa., April 17.
Potatoes are being made to grow
where they have never grown before
and on land which it was thought
was not capable of producing such a
crop. A company, which manufac
tures paper and chemical fibre has
turned over a large tract of land to
its employees here for this .purpose.
They are doing the same thing at their
Loch Haven plant and at another in
Willborough N. Y. A large consign
ment of garden primers to help the
( men in their vegetable growing have
been received from the National War
’ Garden Commission, Washington, and
are being destributed. A. G.Paine. Jr.,
i president of the company, announces
that they expect to produce as much
; as 6,000 bushels of potatoes here. At
: ’ Loch Haven the crop is expected to be
• between 1,500 and 1,600 bushels and
■ at Willsborough 3,600 bushels.
'Tn addition, a large amount of oth
er garden produce will be grown by
our men,” says Mr. Paine. “Last year
was the first time that potatoes were
grown in or about this town. Enough
were raised on our land to supply the
town for the winter.” The town is
located in the Alleghenies and is not
a farming community.
