The People is reliably informed that three carloads of cured and graded South Carolina sweet pota toes are being shipped *very two weeks to a chain of abotft 160 stores in Washington. This order was se cured through the etforts of the South Carolina Sweet Potato Asso ciation, a co-operative organizhtion that is doing much fot the sweet po tato growers in this State. Consum ers are being educated to the more general use of the “sugar spud” as an article of food and we venture the prediction that in a comparatively short time the sweet potato will, be one of the principal crops of Barn- weil County. * It is already being ^rorwn more or less extensively by n large* "number of our farmers, who are taking advantage of the facili ties offered by the curing house of W. H. Kennedy and Son at Willieton. We understand that this firm fur- nishes the crates for the potatoes and is offering a cash market of something like 75 Cents a crate for properly graded potatoes, or they wfll allow storage room in their curing house for the farmer who pre fers to market his product at some future date. The business men of Williaton are also organizing an association for the more extensive marketing of the truck crops that they expect to be grown around that progressive little town during the coming eyar. What Willieton is doing, other towns in the county esn and MUST do if the merchants ami other busi ness men expect to stay in business. "Why sit yc here idle?” The farm er cannot be left to work out his problem alonb, for the interests of every man, woman and child in Barnwell County are inseparably wrapped up with those of the farm ers. When the farmer has plenty of msaey, business boom ■. When the farmer is ‘‘broke.” business is on the blink. Surely It is better for busine-o* to he on the boom than on the bum U would seem that, among other things, a potato curing house and a grain elevator are needed just now. They are pairing handsome dividends in other towns. Lot ths farmers and business men get together, organize a co-operative association, and, wo. king in com pletr harmony, pull oj^ of this “slough of despond.” ^ Barnwell hasn't the kncoC streets in the world just n’t present^ but many automohilists are stuck them. coffee wp.s on Fighting the Boll Weevil With 5 I*’*. 'OTtanu s trrtm the FWfWJWVo Ji'armTf Y Down in Barnwell County, S. 0., the boll weevil has hit ’em and hit ’em ha nl. But the farmers, merchants and bankers are also tignting hard—and fighting back hard. They have de cided that the thing to do is to fight the boll weevil with P's—five PV.. These five P's are "Pigs, Potatoes, Peanuts, Peas and Poultry,” And these five P’s, says the Barn well Home Bank, will bring two other P’s—Peace and Prosperity.” So it is stamping all its literature now with this rubber stamp slogan: "Pigs, Potatoes, Peanuts, Peas, Poultry, Peace, Prosperity. “Home Bank, Barnwell, S. C.” Certainly these first five P’s— “Pigs, Potatoes, Peanuts, Peas and Poultry”—make wonderful ammuni tion with which to kill boll weevil —WHLLIiTOH NEWS. * % v .
