Wil Inaugurate Campaip To Beip State's Farmers April 19 t. 21 U "North Carolina Sweat Potato Weak" Raleigh, April 12?Designating the week of April 16 to 21 a* "Sweet Potato Week" in North Carolina, the Agricultural Extension Service of the North 'Carolina State College and State Department of Agriculture Urges every consumer and every household to buy at least one bushel of sweet potatoes during this period. As a reason of setting aside a week for a campaign of this kind, the Div ision of Markets states that farmers ip certain sections of North Carolina have been forced to seek new money crops on account of damage to cotton by the boll weevil and to tobacco by wilt disease. A large number of them turned to the sweet potato and the production has been somewhat out of proportion to the present demand. In several sections of North Carolina, states Mr. Gorrell- Shumaker, acting chief of the Division of Markets, the farmers have made considerable in vestments in storage houses to keep the potatoes in good condition for the spring trade. They now have a quantity of these potatoes on hand and it is absolutely necessary that some of the holding be converted into cash before farming operations for the coming year can be financed. The Division of Markets, says Mr. Mr. Shumaker, is eager to find a market for this surplus of potatoes, especially in the stricken areas, ^be cause it realises the plight that some of these people find themselves in. The division has secured a list of parties from vrfiom good sweet pota toes may be secured and grocery stores and other concerns desiring to stock up for "Sweet Potato Week" can get this list on application to the division at Raleigh. . Mr. Shumaker states that in setting aside this week of April 16 to 21 as a special time for selling and con suming sweet potatoes, his division is urging grocers to use the utmost care in grading to see that only the best of potatoes are offered for sale. Further, the growers are asked to make only a reasonable charge per bushel so that every family in North Carolina may purchase a supply. Dealers will be asked to sell the roots on the lowest possible margin of profit and to de pend on the quantity of sales to compensate for the . extra trouble in pushing this product. Some stores have already made arrangements to not only sell for the growers without charge but also to use their own paid space for advertising the potatoes. The movement as initiated has the hearty endorsement of Director B. W. Kilgore of the Agricultural Extension Service, as well as the various divis ions and organisations of the State College and Department of Agricul ture. The State Federation of Sweet Potato Storage Houses, the Agricul tural and Industrial Development ser vice of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail road and various other civic and busi ness organisations have given it their full approval and are helping to put the movement across.
