J.H. Blackwell Brings Huge Sweet Potato to Oxford Ledger, July 18, 1924

Large Sweet Potato. . . Grown in the Garden of Our County Agent

Mr. J.H. Blackwell, our County Agent, exhibited in his office yesterday a sweet potato that was five inches long and as large in the center as a hen’s egg. It was grown in his garden and it was largest we have seen this season. As county agent, he sets a splendid example, as much as to say “follow me.”
