SWEET POTATO
MARKET PLANS
First Anual Report of the
South Carolina Sweet
Potato Marketing
Association

Columbia, June 21.-Advanee in
formation from the Annual Report
of the South Carolina Sweet Po-
tato Association for the year
1920-21 brings some very interest
ins information fer the farmers in
the State Of marketing operations
under modified ECalifOrnia Plan.
The Association operated seven
pools the members receiving the
following returns:
No. Stock (crated) 1924 per crate
No. 2 Stock (crated) 1922 per crate
No. l Stock (bulk) $1.79 per 100
pounds.
No. 2 Stock (bulk) s1.39 per 100
"No Grade" (bulk) s1.56 per 100
pounds.
A late pool netted s1.0o per
bushel for No. l Stock.
Prices all net F. O. B. curing
house.
On about one-third of the ship
ments made by the Association
overcharges of freight were made.
Claims have been made against the
railroads, and are being pushed,
and as fast ass COLLECTED, !; remit
tances vii be made to members. In
this connection it was found that
South Carolina was being discrim-
mated against in freight rates.
This matter has been adjusted and
will not handicap the shippers the
coming season.
The Association has worked with
the railroads on the subject of
containers with the result that
only crates will be used to market
the next crop. The crate measures
12x12x1S 81 inside dimensions.
The Association is working to per
feet plans to purchase crates for
its members for use the coming
year and thus make a considerable
saving Of money.
Most of the last seasons ship
ments 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 nc
means reached the saturatlon
point and invites persistent selling
efforts.
The potatoes marketed were
grown in five counties located IN
The Southwestern corner OF the
State.
This years experience leaves nc
doubts about the absolute necessi-
ty for curing" all potatoes fo1
shipment, and having the ware,
houses filled and the doors closed
before the first frost.
The benefits Of true cooperation
have ben made clear by the ope-
rations in California, Minnesota,
Florida, to mention the prominent
examples, and it is the aim OF the
Association to reap like benefits
Tor the growers of South Caro-
lima. These benefits are: More
money for the grower; Establish
! ing the standa!u pdch, OeVoiop-
ing markets: Advantageous pur-
chasing of supplies; Effective han
! ding Of complaints and claims;
Educating the consuming public;
Increasing the value of farm lands;
Making bushes methods available
to all members.
The Season has given to the
men who would make the sweet
potato cash crop in the State q
clear vision of the difficulties be-
| fore them to be met and overcome
and this is half the battle.
The Association has secured the
best price possible for an unknown
