Ing center. When all said, it is not the quantity to bo marketed that should receive he greater part of our attention (though wo should focus our eyes aunntity lor a time), because when we begin growing for market* othe than our curb markets we must nec essarily give more attention to th handling and grading of our sweet potatoes. A consignment of sweet ( potatoes that roaches its market des tination showing signs of bad handling never commands the top market price. On tho other hand, potatoes careful ly handled will always receive a ready sale at prices that will more than pay for the extra time and labor expended in careful handling. handling process begins at harvesting time and ends when the potatoes , reach the consumer. Through careless handling and stor ing of sweet potatoes we have been losing from 60 to 70 per cent of the rrop grown each year. The crop is now becoming of commercial Impor tance and will be extensively culti vated In the sections of the state invaded by the Mexican boll weevil; and all who intend to row sweet potatoes for the market should build efficient storage hewses and provide the best means of handling this now important crop for market. "While the production of the sweet potato has increased during the past Tew years, many new markets have opened up and thousands o* People are becoming belter acquainted with the southern grown sweet potato. Ne limit as to market has been reached vet and at this time a number of swaM potato dealers and fruit and vegetable marketing associations are doing much to advertise the south ern sweet potato and increase the consumption of this product. The rrop Is of a perishable nature, as Btated above, If not handled properly, ind only recently has it been given the proper, handling which enables it to be thrown on distant markets. This story is told of the first car load of Nancy Hall sweet potatoes that reached Columbus, Ohio, about four years ago through mistake: A certain dealer In that city had been handling a dry. mealy sweet potato grown in a colder section of the ( country, not as well adapted as this section to the growing of the sweet potato, and through a commission firm in the East they had asked for a car of these dry sweet potatoes. The commission house instead, by mistake, ?eat a carload of the rich flavored, frier Nnncy Hail variety from Geor gia. When the dealer discovered that he had the wrong variety of potatoes he immediately said. "Well, we will have to sell these at 75 cents less on the bushel and take a loss. No, ?aid a southern friend, "sell them at 75 cents more per bushel, for they are worth more, and don't fail to ad vertise thorn." Needless to say this carload went at that price and, In the words of tho dealers there. 'They are still go ing^? This crQp ia the past has beett an easy one to produce, and naturally we have become negligent and have said to those in charge. "Sell the surplus if you can, if you can't, feed them to the hogs.' Wo now know, however, there are other crops worth more for hog feed and less expensive to grow, and w? must turn our faces towards a mar ket. Our policy shonld simply be this: those of us who expect to grow ?w*et potatoes in the boll weevil section of the state should study mar kets. market preferences, market de mands, periods of greatest demand secure proper containers, grade prop *rly, provide suitable storage for s oarload or more (the most economlca. method of handling and marketing this crop )and work with th? market agents ^nd their assistants for noth log less than the market price In anj epen market.

In the mountain countries it per forms as many cars with larger motors do not perform. Climbing steep grades with the sharpest turns on high, creeping up and up at six or seven miles an* hour on high 'without a miss or a skip or a sign of effort, where others shift, the Chandler holds for its driver the thrill of really satisfactory motoring. * - , i In country roads of mud or sand, and in the congested? traffic of crowded city streets, this same power and this same flexibility show their qualities. The Chandler leads the whole six-cylinder group so distinctly ' because it is such a good car and so fairly priced. There's no better time than NOW to place your order.
