"Some Pumpkins."—The Agricultural Department of the Federal Government raised in one of its experimental stations in North Carolina pumpkins weighing thirty-five pounds each, of which the department officials offered to distribute some of the seeds in this section of the country. The letter containing the offer considers these thirty-five pounders large pumpkins. In reply the San Jose Chamber of Commerce sends photographs of two specimens of the California product, weighed in the presence of Judge Brooks, and tipping the scales at respectively 262 and 264 pounds.
