PAGE TEN Sweet Potatoes Lead Plentifuls First on List For Oc tober, Says Miss Re becca Colwell Fresh sweet potatoes are marketed in heavy volume in this area in Octo ber and they’re on the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture’s Southern plenti ful foods list for the month, Miss Re becca Colwell, home demonstration agent for the State College Extension Service, reported this week. Although the nation’s total pro duction of sweet potatoes still is be loiv average, she said, it’s about 4 per cent larger than last year, and sup plies will be heaviest during the height of the fresh marketing season. After October, the volume of markets probably will decline as harvesting de creases. Apples are second in the October plentiful lineup, and USD A says sup plies are due for a big increase from a commercial crop that's 45 per cent above last year. Harvesting will reach a peak in many areas in Octo ber, and lots of top quality apples will be shipped to market. Grapes, pears, and dried prunes al s6 will reach markets in quantity during the nionth, too, plentiful foods ! listing shows. Turkeys are another crop showing a sizable increase over last lear, with production up to an estimated 29 per cent for the country. Producers are moving them to market early this year, Miss Colwell said. In addition, USDA lists chickens, peanut butter, canned corn, manu factured dairy products, pork pro ducts, cooking fats, almonds, and hon ey as October plentifuls, the home agent said.
