Recent estimates indicates that he total sweet potato acreage vill probably be about One third arger than last year and, with . my thing like normal growing :onditions, there will be a bumper :rop. The officials point out that f the large crop is "dumped" on he market, without being propery harvested, graded and cured, he price support measures are iound to prove inadequate. It has been estimated that sTorth Carolina has storage capicity for only about one-fourth of he coming crop and growers are irged to plan now .for the proper landling and storing of the crop. The Agricultural Engineering department at State College has ecently published plans for a mall curing unit that will handle rom 80 to 200 bushels and reqlests have been received for 743 S(J IAS GIVEN ^ TES YOU AC robacc J in m rH it': Y.
