GOOD PRICES IN PROSPECT FOR
SOUTHERN NEW POTATOES.

The Mississippi crop of irish pota-
toes Of 1917 brought an average net
to the growers of 81 80 per bushel;
they are now higher than they were
at this same period of 1917. The
storage in warehouses and on the
farms in the large producing sections
Of the North and West is many mil
hon bushels less than the past two
seasons, so there will be little Of old
supplies to compete with the new
crop from the South.
There is tendency to neglect the
planting of this product because of
unsatisfactory prices and conditions
that prevailed the last two seasons,
when the average price obtained for
the Mississippi crop was about 81 20
per bu. The time for planting is
approaching Next to grain and
meat, the irish potato is our great
est food staple. Indications for rec
ord prices this season we're never
better, and every farmer who can
regardless of the fact that seed are
high, should plant sack or two. so
as to have some surplus to supply
our own needs;y and for marketing
where car lots can be obtained for
the consuming centers.
There is no trouble to sell this
staple f. o. b. at its market value
when there is such crying demand
and car lots can be made up; even
the lower grades move freely at fair
prices when there is scarcity.
The Market Specialist of Mississ-
ippi A. g. M and your County Agt.
will cooperate in securing the proper
seed at the right prce. and as far as
possible will meet and advise with
the people IN any locality where our
services might be useful. AS in the
past three seasons aid will be given
in finding outlets and securing right
values for this product. We cannot
definitely prophesy the future prices
Of any commodity; supplies and de-
mands largely govern, but basing
our forecast on present conditions,
we can see only high prices until the
great producing sections in the Cen
trail States come in with a good crop.
The Red Trump seed, fall crop,
home grown are preferred; the same
variety from the Eastern States. or
Minnesota or Wisconsin is recon-
mended Seed stock from the Wes-
teru irrigated section should never
be USED in the South. The Red
Trump is the standard market po-
tato for the state.
February lst. to March 10Th. is
best season for planting. Seed
stock now quoted at around So 90
per bnshel delivered.
AS you will note IN another column
we have special prices on the Potato
Seed and Fertilizers, if you are in
terested in any of the above, let us
hear from you at once.
You should ship II cars OF Irish
Potatoes from Greene County dur
ing this year.

COMMITTEE FROM
RECENT GRAND JURY
Publishes Some Statements. Etc.

1t might interest the readers of
the Herald to know why w. w. Nc
Innis published the Expense account
of his provisions for Road Grew tor
the one month in a recent date of
the Herald.
1t may have been the result of an
investigation of some of the County
affairs By the late grand jury of
which the cost of boarding the hands
of his crew was one of the things
looked into. The others will be
mentioned in this article later.
In regard to the expense of Nc
Innis' camp, the Grand Jury tho't
it in excess of what it ought to have
been in amount and some of the ar
tlcles we thought could have been
dispensed with. AS McInnis s
statement could be misleading for he
could have bought large bill of
groceries near the end of preceding
month which would have run him
nearly all of the month OF which he
published his statement. So as to
give an idea of his average cost per
man per month for the year we have
secured the figures and give below
showing the average cost for three
months of September, October and
November 1919.

we investigated and mention o
which was not made in our report
May be it would be in order to stat,
Why such matters were not mention
ed IN such report. The Grand Jur,
would have Incorporated same il
such record, but the District Attor
ney advised the foreman that be
ought TO appoint committee ano
take up the matters with the Boarc
OF Supervisors, which advice we act
ed upon, Mr.. Kittrell appointing the
following as such committee: G. l..
Kttrell, M. w. Ball, Rufus Smith,
Neil Mcleod, Wesley Byrd and B.
&c. O'Danlel.
We went before the (od) board OF
supervisors at their December meet
ing and discussed the matters in
question, which were as follows:
The matter of McInnis Road Crew
Expenses; Posting of the roads and
putting sign boards at all cross
and fork of the roads as required
by law; (see Sec. 4439 Code 1906
in regard TO this) the question OF
employing the Counsel or County
Attorney for the Board of paying
him the maximum salary without
asking for bids as required by
law (Sec. 36l Code aud the fur
ther matter of the legal and moral
right of employing an attorney to
represent and advise the county
who at the same time was repre-
senting one or more corporations
that are dong business in the
county, which it was our decision
it was not the right thing to do.
1--WE would like to see the new
board ask for bids on this job and
watch the results, it might per-
haps save the county some money }
The matter of publishing the
board Of Supervisors proceedings,
a thing that we all decided ought
to be done, as other counties are
having their proceedings publish
ed, as they want to keep their peo-
Pile informed of what they are do
ing and what they spend the mon
ey for.
While before the supervisors anC
when the matter of Posting the road;
was being discussed its hardly be
lievable, but fact that a member d
such old board OF supervisors -anC
who is not a member OF the new
board smiling SAID he had been lis
tenIng to the recommendations o
the Grand Juries to post the roads
for eight years. 1t does not seen
possible that any board of superviS.
ors would listen to such recommen-
dations from representative body
OF the people like the Grand Jury Ior
such a length of time and not act
materially. If we understand ii
correctly the Grand Jury is supposed
to represent the people of the entire
county in most of It's affairs, coming
as they do from every part OF it.
We would like all parties concern
ed to understand that the above was
not gotten up on account of i'll will
or bad feeling; fact of the business is
this would not have been done had
not Mclnnis published his statement
and we felt we had to make the
above statement in self. defense.
If any tax payer of Greene County
would like to express themselves
would like to hear what they have to
say on the subject.
