SUCCESS WITH SWEETS Potato Growers and Warehousemen Must Organize Clcmson College, Juno 9.—Wher- :ver sweet potatoes are being grown, here should be storage houses to care for them. Yet the building of a torage house does not necessarily nean there will ha potatoes grown to fill It, nor does the use of certified government plans insure success. • herefore, the growers and ware- •lousemen should get together, fore case fcond|ition.s pud an} Record in ays Geo. E. Prince, Assistant Horti- .•ulturiat of the Extension Service of lemson College. The successful growers and ware housemen elsewhere are organizing, is they have been in the game long enough to see its disadvantages as .ell as its advantages, and to learn hat failure or success depends very largely on the individual as in olhei •nterprlses. The South Carolina growers who must compete with tne ^experienced growers of the other .Southern states, should therefore think >ver the proposition carefully before mtering this undeveloped field on an sxtensive scale. The sweet potato in- iustry is a most promising one and aas a bright future in South Carol na i handled in the proper way; other- vise, it may result In disastrous fail- are. Our growers and. warehousemen diould begin to think about an or ganization to take care of the market ng of the sweet potatoes. The experi- races of the associations of truckers n the state readily show that a pota to association would be one of the >e.st means for giving the sweet pota- o industry a good ‘send off.” And mtil there Is an asosciation to adver ise the product and help open up new narkets. the marketing problem will he a serious drawback. A meeting will be held in Columbia the latter part of June of the first of July for the purpose of organizing a sweet po ato association. ’RESENTMENTS OF GRAND JURY IIP His Honor Judge S. W. G.
