To Explain Sweet Potato
Curing to Local Farmers
Meeting Next Tuesday Night to be
Addressed by Man Who is Well
Posted on the Subject

Next Tuesday night, at s o'clock,
the business men of Opelousas and
the farmers of the surrounding country
will meet in the court house in Ope-
lousas to discuss the plans for organ
izing sweet potato drying plant. Ev-
erybody interested in this project,
whether as a grower of potatoes,
handler of them, investor in them, or
eater Of them, is invited to meet with
the representative men who are put
ting through this plan.
There will be man well versed in
the handling Of sweet potatoes, par
ticularly with regard to curing them,
who will speak, and demonstrate a
proven system, by which sweet pota-
toes can be cured and kept for
months and then shipped to northern
markets, and even to Europe. Some
potatoes cured and dried in this man
ner were shipped to Europe during
the war.
Many of the prominent bushes
men and farmers of this section have
agreed that such a plant is almost a
necessity in this community. 1t will
ad another industry to the town, and
The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1920-05-01

will give the farmer a cash market
for his sweet potatoes at the time he
harvests them, and will prove to be
an extraordinarily good investment
for the stakeholder.
1t is planned to build plant that
will take care of the potatoes grown
hereabouts, and pay cash to the
grower of the potatoes, thus inducing
farmers to diversity more, and defeat
the boil weevil and pink boil worm.
This will give an outlet TO a product
that we have not been able to get rid
of properly, due to the fact that our
potatoes almost always rot before
they reach the point of destination,
and therefore cause great loss and
disappointment to the grower and to
the handler. By properly curing this
product, the potatoes can be easily
held until the proper time to market,
and can be shipped to faraway points
The North has not yet begun to know
the southern yam, and when it begins
to get some to eat, we will be kept
busy turning down the orders. 1t is
reported that one Northern boy.
drafted into the army and sent to
Southern camp, found the sweet po-
tato so good that he became the cause
of selling twelve carloads of them in
his home town.
This question of building curing
plant has been brought up many
times, and has been in favor of many
people for some time; but it is only
now that a definite move has been
made to organize and erect such
concern, and it is hoped that all in
terested in the sweet potato will at
tend the meeting next Tuesday night
at the court house.
