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.
