. . ' r K , ' 'THE PERQUIMANS "WEEKLY, HERTFORD, V. . FRIDAY, -APRIL 28, 1335.. Intersex In Sweet By GUY A. CASDWELL AgricuUtL and Industrial' Ajent Attache Oast Line E&Hrcad Co. My friends, E. H. Rawl and T, A. Cole, Clemsop .College, South Carolina Agricultural ., Extension , - Service, were recently, sent to Louisiana to find out why Louisiana Porto Rico f -w'. sweet potatoes geueraujr ocu w 1 stantially higher prices than do ' , South Carolina sweet potatoes of the ' same variety. .During, the paflt sev eral, years shipments of sweet pota toes from Louisiana ive steadily . Increased and the industry has be-jL-eowe firmly established at satisf ac ta prices to growers, while shin iest from South; Carolina have de nned with a gradual - decline in prices paid to growers. . - The answer to the problem as I in- terpret the report mad by Messrs Rawl and Cole is attention to de tails" all along the line. " Louisiana growers have adopted type that meets with favor in the markets. They keep their seed stock pure. They .treat the seed. They use extreme care in soil selection, har vesting, handling, grading and pack aging, and therefore- can command -and do.; command ' a price premium whan they sell Louisiana growers have adopted a type termed the cop per', colored Porto Rico, that is, the skin is-of copper color, yellow or tan. The colore the flesh or. meat of this Louisiana copper skin potato, is a rich salmon or orange yellow. The Porto Rico variety grown in Louis iana is unusually uniform in skin and flesh color. , In their report Messrs. Rawl and Cole start with this mild recommen dation: - "From the long-time viewpoint, there seems to be an opportunity in South Carolina for a commercial sweet potato industry." Mild, I am sure, because of conservatism in ex pression required of men working in their positions. However, after watch ing the development of the commer cial sweet potato industry since its inception, t would say that there is ample , opportunity in North and South Carolina for r a substantial ex pansion of the commercial sweet po tato industry there are certain counties ; where nnil and cronDuur conditions are such that farmers in these counties have some advantages over; the general run of counties. In these counties a large sweet potato- industry can be built up if the farmers can be suffl cieotly interested. Tobacco growing counties have a decided, advantage over non-tcbaeeo counties because tobacco barns can be successfully used for curing and stor ing the potatoes. The established trade wants cured (partially, dried) sweet potatoes. I anv gratified to note that County Amta in Marian County, South Car olina, and Nash and Wilson Counties, North Croltoi displaying inter est in tweet potatoes, for tobacco growing farmers in these and other tobacco growing counties need anoth nr cash' cron: one that will bring them money returns during the win tjr- and nrinBY Columbus, Martin Lenoir, Pitt and Vb.1i Counties. North Carolina, and Rim.: Lea. Orarareburjr. and Clare Aim Connties. South Carolina, are the leading, counties shipping cured sweet potatoes -at present For . several years the demand for sweet potatoes of good appearance and quality has far exceeded' the supply henee there is ample room for further expansion of this industry without lowering the nifoa 5 of the commodity to those farmer already making a practice of growing sweet potatoes for sale be vsnd the boundaries of ' the local markets :, !' .X Timely Questions On : Farm Answered Question: What can be done to kW flea-beetles in my tobacco fields?

To take away all heat would cause ' considerable trouble in the flock and weaken its resistance to The owner must use careful Judgement in this matter as there is no arbitrary limit to the removal of heat.
