Standardized Nancy Hall Potatoes
From Tennessee Find Ready Market
Gleason Sweet Potato Growers Association Is Pioneer for
Delectable Sou thern Product.

A new product has been standardized
and introduced to the markets Of the
United States through the efforts of
q few West Tennessee farmers, OPEN
ing up a new source of income for this
section.
Tennessee Nancy Hall sweet pota-
toes are now known and called for In
markets which had heretofore been In
ignorance for this delectahle product.
In the past year the Gleason Sweet
Potato Growers association has sold
sweet potatoes ms n fancy product in
Pittsburgh on the east; Toronto, Can,
on the north and Los Angeles, Cal,
on tho west.
This association Is tho pioneer in
cooperative marketing of sweet po-
tatoes in Tennessee. The secret OF
their wonderful success has been ad-
herring rigidly to their association rules
for packing and shipping the potatoes
Just al the market demanded them
The story Of the development of the
sweet potato as an American-wide
product Is comparable TO the best tales
Of industrial development with which
America Is familiar.
The Gleason Sweet Potato associa-
ton was started by n few men five

Dresden, w. r. Hawks, secretary OF
the Gleason association, who was one
Of Its o%riginators, has given an ac-
count of its development to the Mem

reau.
Thirteen years ago MIR. Hawks was
growing sweet potatoes and kiln dry
ing them, being the first man In his
territory to use this method Of curing.
For five or six years he had the field
to himself and built up a trade in his
neighbor counties, until his neighbors
seeing his developing business, start
ed growing and curing sweet potatoes
and seven or eight houses were built.
An association was formed by the
Gleason growers when they found that
