To Start Patch A strong contender for the largest yam (sweet potato) ever grown in Key West was lugged into The Citizen office this morning by Lain Dobbs, 1008 Watson Street. The ex- hibit measured more than two feet long and weighed 24 pounds, The yam was grown by Angelo Pereira, 1004 Watson Street, among the rocks along- side his home. Pereira grows about 20 hills of yams a year, planting them in January and harvesting them the follow- ing January. He gives them away to his neighbors and uses them extensively to sup- plement the family larder. Dobbs was so impressed by Pereira’s harvest this year that he is going to plant a good-sized yam patch near Key West. The local man believes the conditions for growing’ sweet ‘potatoes’ here are so good that they ¢ould be produced commercially ‘on a large scale. j address, he evoked much laugh- ter: when he remarked, in an aside, that many members of the * Congress had “moved over to the left side since I was here last.” The object of his message, he said, was to recommend the en- actment of legislation that will ‘expedite and promote the wel- fare of the people of the United States during the next two years. ‘| He expressed the hope that he and’ the Republican-controlled- | Congress will work in unison as far as is humanly possible. That condition pertained chiefly to foreign affairs, as he added that he realized that probably differ- ences will arise between him and the majority in Congress over purely domestic affairs. In suming they will arise, he said he felt confident that agree- ments will be reached that will result in the ‘achievement of much good for the people of the United States. He said it was essential for this country to strive to bring about lasting peace, and added that goal will be reached should other! nations show a_ similar spirit and adhere to it, as this ¢gountry will do.
