[ Most sweet potato growers fail
p get the greatest returns due
p leaks. Best seed and varie
lies are not used. Diseases and
kematod.es are ‘ not controlled,
toil is not tested. Crop is not
fertilized properly. Improper cul-
Iwation is used. Poor harvest-
Bg, handling and storage prac
ttces are used. Improper prepa
ration for market results in low
tt price.
To be sure, no single grower
las all of these leaks, but it is
rery possible. If you are a
rrowpr,- how many leaks do you
lave? These are profit leaks,
rhese are some of the things
Specialist Henry Covington will
issift us in discussing at .the
iweet potato meeting. Are you
nterested in coriducting an all
iractice demonstration on your
iarm? If so, let me know very
loon.

Forest Ranger Says
Time To Plant Trees
Roger Spivey, Chowan County I
Forest Ranger, says now is the I
time to order tree seedlings from I
the State Forester for planting I
on non-productive land.
“Don’t let that land stand idle I
any longer,” says Mr. Spivey, I
“let it be growing money for I
you. Trees will produce an an- I
nual return of 6 to 10 per cent.” I
Mr. Spivey points out that 1,-
000 seedlings will plant one acre j
and that the selling cost of lob-,
lolly pine is $4.50 per thousand
f.o.b. the nursery. Arrange
ments to secure the trees may i
be made by contacting Mr. Spi
vey or County Agent C. W.
Overman.
