president of the Edgecombe Conaty
flwoet Potato Grow ere' Association,
•nil t)h> prnaident of the Bodtem
Carolina Federation assures tits sweat
potato growers of North Carolina
that there can be established an an
limited demand for the sweet potato
in Northern prodoco markets. . He
slataj that after haring personal In
terviews with several of the biggest
Northern produce dealers he is con
vinced that the Northern people are
especially anxious to secure sweet po
tatoes ell the year round Instead of
three months only as heretofore. He
believes that the saccaae of tits sweet
potato as e money crop depends large
ly upon the organising of the sweet
potato growers.
It is especially essential that the
local growers build central storage
hooata, organise e local association
and then Join in a State-wide ftder
atioa which will market at) the po
tatoes and govern the production as
the demand is established. He states
that the Edgecombe county growers
have already organised a co-operative
