THE BARNWELL PEOPLB-8ENTINKL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA HjOPQC ATRUC By G. Chalmers McDermid. In a recent article which appeared in a good many newspapers of the State, George E. Prince, Chief of the State bureau of Markets, declared that; “South Carolina farmers would add thousands o{ dollars to their in come, by shipping more of the State’s big eweet potato crop. If seme of you folks will remember it, I have been trying to ding that idea into your heads for several years. We make big crops of sweets in South Carolina, and then let thousands of bushels rot, without giving a real serious try towards marketing them.. Mr. Prince’s article ^oes on to state that while our State raised 3,- 180,000 bushels of sweets in 1931, we only shipped 70 cars. Out of the entire crop produced east of the Mississippi River, our State produces 10 per cent, and ships 2 per cent. Virginia and Jersey are the big ship pers. I don’t claim that if we ship all our potatoes to the markets, that we have a cure-all for low prices. I don’t even claim that we should send all of our crop out of the State—there are too many thousands of people in the State who need them for “ra tions” this winter, . „ , But I do claim that if we spend more time and take more care in harvesting the sweet spud crop, that the condition of our crop on the first of January will be a whole lot better than it usually is, and having this “asset” we will be in better financial condition. If I had a sweet potato crop to harvest between now’ and) froist, I would be busying myself just about now, hunting up an old empty build ing in which to store the crop and cure it. Most of us have some type cf empty building on the farm or in some nearby town which could be converted into good storage space. Maybe some enterprising merchant in town has ju.-t what you are look ing for «n<) he. will store your crop for you for a price. —•+— ——. Cured sweets keep better than do banked sweets. In a curing house you can look at the condition of your sweets every week. In a bank, you put ’em up and you take ’em down and you tm?t almost entirely to the weather. The best sweets on the February and March and April markets are those whioh have been carefully handled at harvest time, not those which have been dumped i*V piles along windrows, and bruised, and cut in handling. A green sweet has a tender skin, and a slight bruise at harvest time generally results in a rot fpot dr a black discoloration later in 4he winter. The day of indiscriminate market ing of sweets, or any other crap, is fa^t coming to a close. Today is a day of specialized markets. I re ceived a que^tionaire the other day from a big fertilizer concern asking me this question, among others— “Does extra quality in vegetables bring a premium to the farmers of your section?” I asked several farmers about this question before I answered it, and in each case, I received a very quick- answer—iYES. Several cases of where extra quality brought a prem ium, were cited to me, but one of these stick? very clearly with me. Mr. Jim Bellamy had some excellent cabbage last spring—each hamper vras packed in the field by exper ienced packers—the hampers were bright and new—about every third hamper was weighed so as to get a uniform weight. This cabbage sold before it was loaded in the cars at a premium of 25c per hamper over other cabbage at the same station. When three men tell you a thing like that,* there must be something to it—that extra quality pays extra cash. And so it is with sweets. The man who makes a careful harvest, who grade? his crop well and mar kets them systematically, is the man who is going to make money on his 19^2 sweet spuds.

This means tremendously increased wear on bearings and cylinder ' walls, tremendously increased wear on motor oils. ★ It means, too—if you are still using old-fashioned motor oils—you are short-changing your motor. ★ Why short change your motor with an old-fashioned 2-star or 3-star oil, when you can fill up with 5-star quality Essolube— at the price of ordinary motor oils—25tf per quart (plus tax). ★ Essolube is easy to get everywhere, at stations and dealers of: Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, Standard Oil Company of Pennsylvania, Standard Oil ‘ Company of Louisiana, Standard Oil Compiffiy, Incorpo- ^rated in Kentucky^ Colonial Beacon Oil Company, Inc. ★ When Essolube is so easy to get, and has the full 5 qualities necessary, at no extra cost, why not try it today?
