Thanks ter recent rains over most of the sweet potato produc ing area, tlie 1964 crop yields may continue this tiend, ac. ording to Henry Covington, horticulture specialist at North Carolina State. "Proapect* didn't look too good for a while.” he said, "but sweet polat ie» recover fast once they get a little moisture. I believe* most sections hav h-ad sufficient rainfall recently to change crop prospects from bad to good." The 1963 crop was valued at almost $11 million. While acreage* this year i22,000» is up slightly over 1963. the trend in reeent years lias been toward reduct'd acreage. “We arc* growing about half tin* number of ac*res now that we grew 10 years ago." said Coving ton. “However, we are Ivor vesting about the same amount of pota on each, and on the State's cli mate. history, topography. geo graphic area and location, and origin of the name "Tar Heel." Originally designed for YV spending to requests from school pupils in North Carolina and oth er states. "The Tar Heel State" is also in steady demand as a con densed reference publication for homeseekers and travelers in this country, and for foreign residents planning lo visit the U. S. A. toes — roughly 4.5 million bush -1 els." Per acre yields have doubled in the last seven years. Tl>e specialist credits improved production practices for this im pressive increase. The renewed emphas.s on wirevvorm control, fumigation, spacing and selecting high - yielding varieties receives much of the credit. An indication of these highci yields is the change in g -als of the promotional contest put on oy tne N. C. Sweet Potato Associ ation In 1959 its ••elite" group of producers were members of the 300-bushel jier aero club. "Three hundred bushels of No. 1 grade sweet potatoes |>er acre were considered unattainable at that time." said Covington, “but we reached it the first year.” The club was renamed in 1962 the 400-Bushel Club. Some of the most progressive farmers have attained that am dtious goal four made it last year in official yield checks. The current champion is Xoal Criffin of Martin County whe harvested 5S1 bushels of U. S. No I s from an acre to far excised the qualifications of the too Club. The contest is held on an area basis The producing area is split three ways. First, second and third place winners in each area receive awards from the associa-j tion. Covington pointed o u t that those farmers who have not al ready done so may want to ar iange with their county agricul tural extension agent to cheek yields so they may qualify for the contest.
