Clothes last longer with our gentle methods. my nil II 1 u$wewsi I Sweet Potatoes Can ; Provide Extra Income , Many North Carolina farmers who have never planted sweet potatoes for market should be .able to increase j their farm income this year through the cultivation and sale of this root crop, according to H. M. Covington, Extension Horticulture specialist for the State College Extension Service. The U. S. Department of Agricul ture has requested farmers to in crease their 1949 production of sweet potatoes by 12 per cent. Even if such an increase is planted, produc tion would still be about 10 per cent under the 1937-46 annual average. farmers who plan to increase thoir sweet potato acreage this year to have some for sale should consider market outlets before planting, Covington states. If the matter of storage and curing i is a problem, Covington states that tightly constructed tobacco barn is hard to beat for this purpose. v AH that is needed to convert a barn is to reinforce the bottom tier-pole and place a pole-roof of two-inch boards on top of it. An average height of 16x16 foot barn will hold approximately 750 bushels of potatoes, the specialist points out. Covington says there are several excellent sweet potato growers in Pitt County. Last year, even with un favorable weather, J. J. Edwards of near Ayden produced 331 bushels of No. l's and 2,0 bushels of No. 2's per acre. Selling- for $3 and $1.50 Der bushel respectively, they brought Ed wards a gross return of $1,023 per acre. Large yields are nothing new to Edwards. Two years ajro he averag ed 404 bushels of U. S. No. l's per acre. He also grows certified sweet potato seed. SAVE MONEY! When you purchase an Electric Refrigerator or Washing Ma chine.
