Mushroom Seventy-three Inches Around.
Joseph L. Ball, of Moon Run, Pa., acknowledges his defeat in his recent biggest mushroom claims. He sends to the Blade a letter he received from L. R. Daily, a student in Lake View High School, Chicago. The student’s letter follows:
“Dear Sir: I noticed an article in the Blade stating that you had the largest mushroom ever grown. Well, if that is the largest one that you ever saw, come out to Chicago, and I will show you mushrooms twice as large as the one you had. I have seen and had big mushrooms, one especially that measured seventy-three inches in circumference. I send you the signatures of six fellow students, who will back my statement.”
