That's Some Sweet Potato!! (No Brag, Just Fa
JAMES SHOAF
James Shoaf lives in Davidson County, N.C. and works in the Put Up
Department at N.C. Finishing Company. Now everyone knows that
Davidson County produces the “best and biggest’’ gardens.
Everyone, that is, except Clarence Snider, another NCF empioyee.
Snider works with Shoaf and kept bragging about his sweet potatoes.
“They’re the sweetest and best in Rowan County,’’ he said.
Shoaf, not to be outdone by his buddy, went home across the river
and dug his own sweet potatoes. Of course, he had to use a backhoe to
dig ’em and a chain saw to cut ’em!! He brought the proof into the Per
sonnel Department at NCF. The three sweet potatoes (pictured at ieft)
weighed 13 pounds, 2 ounces.
Shoaf claims he can make enough sweet potato pie for ail of Davidson
County out of those three potatoes.
“Hope he’ll share some with some of us Rowan County people,’’ said
Bob Beil, personnel manager at NCF.
But that’s not the end of this sweet story ...
Waiter Jeter works in the Housekeeping Department at NCF and iives
in the Cleveiand section of Rowan County. When he heard Shoaf brag
ging about his sweet potatoes, he got a bit hot under the coliar.
Jeter had aiready taken his potatoes to market, aii the BiG ones, that
is. The oniy ones left were a few LITTLE ones he had thrown away. He
managed to recover one (shown at right) from the ieftovers.
Anyone for “ieftover’’ sweet potato pie?
