Many growers admit that they have been rather careless in bundling their potatoes. They huvo allowed their pickers to toss the potuloes Into piles und then haphazardly dump them Into the wagons without even thinking how fatal the results of bruising would be, not only to their product but to their pockethooks. Just us a genu will got Into a cut or bruise on a person s hand and oflunliiuoH cause soiious trouble, so do sweet potato disease genua get Into the cracks and bruises caused by 1m proper harvesting and develop into rotten potuloes. Just us sweet potato growers have made u mistake lu planting too late, so have they eiied In waiting until the frost has killed the vines and many potatoes huvo J been injured by the cold. This has ' caused tremendous losses from rot ttng. The proper harvesting practices can best bo explained by Quoting from a successful grower who has followed the recommended method#. He says. "1 harvested my potatoes with a large middle buster with u vino cuttor attached. This cutter was a homemade outfit, constructed according to plauB furnished by T. A. Cole, of the Extension Service. "1 dug every other row, leaving the: potatoes to remain there for several hours before being picked up. 1 re-j quired every man to wear cloth gloves. Potatoes bruise very easily j at digging time and handling them with gloves reduces bruises to a gieat extent. With theso gloves on, my la 1 borers seemed to take great pride lu handling the potatoes. "After the potatoe had dried enough for most of the dirt to fall off, 1 had the in graded and packed In baskets 1 then hauled them to the potato hous-j es for storage." Some Marketing Opportunities In concluding this series of articles on quality sweet potatoes, I should like to repeat that this state can compote with other successful sweet potato growing states if proper methods are employed. The first step in promoting the eonsumption of sweet potatoes should be ti> create a market among our local buyers. This can be done by supplying them with quality potatoes. Kecently George E. Prince, of the Extension Service division of markets, made a survey among grocery stores in South Carolina, only to find that they were selling very few "sweet potatoes. These grocers stated that because of the poor quality of the stock housewives would not use them. A few of the stores, at Mr. Prince's suggestion, bought some high quality sweet potatoes and they secured remarkable results. Since they had to pay a higher price for the good stock, they naturally had to Increase the price to consumers slightly. Hut, even at the higher retail price, some of the stores increased their sales as much as 000 per cent. And they reported that their proilts increased because there was no loss from shrinkage and rot.
