Hezekiah Telia Experiments With Potatoes In Garden Box
A humorous tale details Hezekiah Telia testing potato yields in a five foot by one foot box with five plots and varying eyes per hill. He counts 10, 6, 12, 8, and 30 tubers in each plot, totaling 46 quarts, then inflates to absurd acre yields. Sally Ann ridicules the fibbed figures and urges plain reporting.
