Most OF the last seasons shipmsnts
were marketed in the South Western
and Middle Western States, and It Is
interesting to note the large number
Of cars shipped to Southern points.
The market south Of the Ohio river
has by no means reached the satura-
ton point and invites persistent SELL
ing efforts.
The potatoes were grown in Ave
counties located in the Southwestern
corner of the State.
This years experience leaves no
doubts about the absolute necessity
for "curing" all potatoes for ship
ment, and having the warehouses fill
ed and the doors closed before the
first frost.
The benefits of true cooperation
have been made clear by the opera
tions in California, Minnesota and
Florida, to mention the prominent
examples, and it is the aim of the
Association to reap like benefits for
the growers Of South Carolina. These
benefits are: More money for the
grower; establishing the standard
pack; developing markets; advan-
tageous purchasing of supplies: ef-
fective handling of complaints and
claims; educating the consuming pub
lie; increasing the value of farm
lands; making business methods
available to all members.
The season has given to the men
who would make the sweet potato
a cash crop in the State clear Wis
ion of the difficulties before thm to
be met and overcome, and this is
half the battle.
The Association has secured the
best price possible for an unknown
article (the Porto Rico Variety and
this in market of sharp competi-
ton from the better known "Nancy
Hall" and the well known "Big Stem
Jrsey." and the Irish potato.
