Syrup and Sweet Potatoes,

II we are to MAKE syrup an(
sweet potatoes money crops ",
we must make up our minds I,
climb down from the perch OF
high prices we now occupy. In
creased production should be
made to offset low prices. The
point is best illustrated by the
achievements, of a farmer living

II our farmers CAR educate thero
selves to accept lower prices
than heretofore demanded for
syrup and sweet potatoes no
difficulty would be encountered
in dispensing of the surplus. If
we intend to grow these products
for market We must make up or
minds in advance to accept the
prices other points are glad to
take for the con- m0dities. There i,
is no lodging or Disgusting the
fact that if we are to make anv
Roadway we must be cautioned
to meet competition. The man
who produces the maximum at
the least cost is the man who is
going to dictate the price. The
farmer who harvests 200 bushels
Of sweet potatoes per acre can
better afford to take Bic per
bushel than the man who gathers
the ordinary crop of 100 bushels
