B' VP T4PvV^ . V r **MggW8>,ca!aaaggsggg f SWEET POTATOES GO' OImmm College, February IS. ? Of the hundred and three millfoi ? bushels of sweet potatoes produced In the United States during th< year 1919. eighty percent, or mor< than eighty million bushels, wer? proaucea in tne southern States; jet the markete were supplied in th< main by the sweet potatoes growx In the North. The North produced around twenty million bushels but marketed approximately seventyfiTe percent of all potatoes that were marketed. The Southern States south of Virginia and Kentucky grow the southern Tarietles and produced approximately 146,390 cars of sweet potatoes (calling 600 bushels a car) Out of this amount of sweet potatoes 4,010 cars were shipped to market, which was less than three percent of the production. South Carolina produced 12,600 cars, and at the same time there were shipped into this state 26 cars from Georgia and North Carolina, Why was this true? Did South Carolina not raise enough potatoes for home use? Yes, and she had a surplus, but the potatoes were not put in marketable shape, not stored, nor graded and cured and in car lots readv for nhinmpnt whan morbotc demanded them. First, in growing sweet potatoes for markets within or outside this State, we must not forget oui competitors, especially the competitors that we have when w< attempt to place our potatoes on the market north of us. There is strong competition north of us from th? latter part of July or first ol August until latter part of January says F. Li. Harkey, Extension Servici Marketing Agent. The first potato ready for ship ment in the United States is th< Triumph or Improved Jersey swee potato shipped from Foley and Ba: Minette, Alabama, and nearbj shipping points. Shipping season a these points starts about July 1st About three week8 later practicall: the same variety of sweet potat< begins to move from Elizabeth Cit: section of North Carolina. Man: cars of these early potatoes go ai far as Kansas City, Missouri, ant some beyond. When North Carolini shipping is in full blast, the easteri shore of Virginia opens up with ai early variety of sweet potato, and i little later Deleware and New Jerse; begin to supply the Eastern markets These two states store a great par of their crop and take the best cart of this stored stock until Decembei 01 January, at which time theii Shipments begin to take care of i . greater part of the demand on th< Eastern markets. It should not be understood thai there is not a demand in most ol these markets for some of our besi graded stock from December on, bui the demand increases when the Jersey sweet potatoes are out of the way. % Our Porto Rico and Nancy Hall varieties of sweet potatoes are finding increased favor on the Northern markets, but in making an introduction, we must see that the product present a neat attractive appearance. That means potatoes well graded and properly handled. The slogan of commercial sweet potato growers should be, "Place a graded , product of superior quality on the market." This season we have made a rapid stride in the marketing of this now important crop. We have more than quadrupled our storage space and will therefore quadruple our shipments from the state. And let us tope that we will divide by four the shipments coming into the state. o 1 f GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY.
