crops. There has been one thing and
one thing only which has prevented
sweet potatoes from national and
even worldwide use ami this is that
they decay easily. They cannot be
handled, stored and shipped like
their harder relative, the Irish pota-
to. This has heretofore served to
confine the delights Of the sweet
meat tuber to the section in which
it is grown. But now with modern
commercial canning methods, all
this is changed The sweet potato
