Sweet Potato, for Starch and Food


Clemson College, April 25.-Sweet
potatoes have been grown by every
farmer in the State but the market for
them is so uncertain and at times so
unsatisfactory that very little effort
has been made to place this crop on
the market as other standard food
crops have been. At present the Ex-
tension Division of Clemson College
Is working to have storage houses,
built especially for this crop. There
are several such houses in the State
but as soon as possible more, will be
built. The improper methods of
keeping sweet potatoes and the un-
satisfactory markets is largely re-
sponsible- for the lack of interest TAX
en- in this crop. However. now that
campaign has been started to en-
ccourage the building of proper stor-
age houses there is no reason why
larger acreages Of this crop should not
be grown. Not only should this crop
be grown in larger quantities for food
purposes, but because Of the possibil-
lty of producing starch. There is al
ready movement on foot to esta ablish
a starch factory and this will furnish
new market for this crop. A good
storage house can be built compare
lively cheap. and the potatoes kept i'm
good condition until late spring.
Farmers and others who are inter-
ested in this should write to the Ex-
tension Division at Clemson College
for information.
