For the Good of
 the Community

III the lead as a sweet potato producing state The 1919 crop amounted to ap- proximately 15,000,000 bushels.
 While the state has been progressing in the matter of raising sweet potatoes, she has made very little progress towards saw ing what she makes It has been estimat- ed that 60 per cent of the annual crop rots, thus causing loss of between S8,00O, 1000 and $10, 100000 year. This loss could be converted into a saving by very small outlay in money, materials and labor
 Some progress in this salvage work has been made by the agricultural depart ment of the polytechnic institute at Au- burn, and the agriculture and marketing committee of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce has contributed share in the work
 The expert in charge of the work at Auburn states that the curing process at the storage warehouses built and conduct ed under the supervision of that depart ment prolongs the commercial life of the sweet potato to about ten weeks against the ten days under old conditions, and that it lessens the amount of moisture and increases the sugar contents, thereby making the potato more valuable as we'll  as more palatable.
 There are four such storage houses in the state built through cooperation of the department at Auburn and supervised by it's expert and all of these have proved eminently satisfactory. They have a ca pacity of about 5000 bushels, or some thing less than four per cent of the states annual yield.
 The four storage plants are located at Roanoke and Mobile, and two in Bald win county.
 Jefferson county has storage plant with capacity of about 30,000 bushels, built by about dozen farmers as joint affair and it's owners are reported to be we'll satisfied with their investment
 Alabama farmers have not prospered in the past as they should have prospered. Not because they did not work, and not be- cause they did not produce, but because they did not do either scientifically or along economic methods. It avails far mer nothing to raise a big crop unless he can dispose of it at renumerative price. What he raises must be of good quality, we'll preserved, packed in convenient and protective containers and delivered at the markets with the least possible cost.
 When the Alabama farmers save their entire sweet potato crop they will thereby enrich themselves to the extent of several million dollars year Conservation on the farm is just as essential to the pros perity of the farmer as is conservation
