I' State Leads In Yam Production During Last Year "olumbus Stands At The Top Of The List Of 100 j Counties Of North Carolina In Sweet Potato Growing :OLUMBUS LEADING IN NORTH CAROLINA Tremendous Increase In The Amount Of Potatoes Produced In This State j And County Having Results RALEIGH, ? North Carolina! now holds the rank of Number j One sweet potato producing state j in the Nation, W. T. Wesson, j junior statistician or <ne State1 Department of Agriculture, said j today. "Farmers achieved first place I in sweet potato production de- j spite the fact that the 1940 crop of j,104,000 bushels was the smallest since 1936 and more than 21 per cent under the 1939 crop of 8,674,000", he added. "The 1940 acreage was reduced by four per cent compared with 1939 while the per acre yield last year of 96 bushels was 13 bushels under 1939." He explained that "normally, 55 per cent of the State's sweet potato crop is used on the farm, 33 per cent is sold and the remaining 12 per cent is used for other purposes." Growers during the five-year (1934-1939) period, sold an average of 2,722,000 bushels of sweet potatoes a year and consumed i 4,630,000 bushels a year in the I farm household, while tne average gross income over the same period was $5,288,000 per year. '.'The sweet potato is strictly a southern crop and in North Carolina is grown primarily in the eastern counties, where the light | soil is best suited for production," Wesson added. The counties leading production are: Columbus, Johnston, Davidson, Duplin, Sampson, and Robeson. "The value of the State's 1940 sweet potato crop was estimated at $5,328,000, or five per cent less than the value of the 1939 crop j of $5,606,000. North Carolina farmers received an average price | of 75 cents per bushel last yearj compared with the 1939 price of 65 cents per bushel. The decline in value o flast year's crop is accounted for by the production decline in 1940 compared with 1939. "For the United States, the 1940 production was estimated at 61,998,000 bushels or about lT^per J cent smaller than the 1939 production of 72,679,000 bushels. Last year's decline in production resulted from a smaller acreage harvested in 1940, accompanied by reduced yields in many of the sweet potato producing states". REA Group 0( State Resigns All Members Resign In A Body To Make Way For The Governor To Have Free Hand In Shaping The Policy Of The Organization RALEGH?All members of the state Rural Electrification Authority have resigned, thus lengthening the unprecedented list of appointive posts when Governor Broughton will fill.
