A Beard Twelve Feet Long

1895

In 1882 Adam Kirpin, a German 66 years old, at that time residing in Chicago, claimed to be the owner of the longest growth of whiskers. He was a large man, nearly 6 feet in height, and had a beard more than twice the length of his body. Kirpin's beard had been growing steadily for 22 years.

Wheat

One or another variety of wheat is found in almost every climate and country on the earth.
