Price & Son j Leading Cleaners and Dyers Since 1920 —Still Leading Phone No. 3. , Forest City, N. C. = CAN SELL POTATOES WHEN QUALITY IS GOOD Raleigh, N. C., April 23. —Svreet /potatoes of good quality usually find a ready sale and' it is just as costly to produce the poor quality roots as it is to grow something that the .market desires. "If more of our growei*s of sweet potatoes would avoid planting the crop in the loamy heavy soils and use the sandier soils, we would pro duce a better quality of products," says Dr. R. F. Poole, of the depart ment of plant pathology at State College. "By quality, mean uniform shape and size and freedom from dis sease. Few of our growers give any thought to the fertilizer used un der potatoes. In some mixtures bought for fertilizing cotton, corn and tobacco are used for potatoes and they are not suited. The heavy soils and the high nitrogen fertiliza tion are associated with a number of important disease of the crop, in ad dition to causing large, long, crack ed potatoes of irregular sizes and shapes." But these conditions can be cor rected, states Dr. Poole, and should be if the sweet potato crop of the South is to be of marketable value. At present time, the low price on southern grown potatoes is due largely to irregular market quality. This will be improved only when less nitrogen, and more potash is used and when the diseases affecting the rots are fought intelligently. Dr. Poole recently addressed a gathering of sweet potato growers near Apex in Wake county where he complimented them oh the work done in removing the surplus of the crop this spring. He stated that the soil of that section is well adapted to sweet potato growing, yet, the grow ers would not secure the best prices until they began using more potash in their fertilizer mixtures and had taken steps to control the scurf di sease. For southern-grown potatoes to bring fancy prices, they must be uni form in size and shape, free from disease and well packed, he said. KINGS MOUNTAIN PRESBYTERY MEETS The 52nd Semi-Annual session of the Kings Mountain Presbytery was held at Chimney Rock church Tues day and Wednesday of last week with the largest atendance in years.
