V. E. Fountain Declares Year
Market For Sweet Potatoes
Possible

Tarboro, Aug. 15.-V. E. Foun-
tain, president Of the Edgecombe
County Sweet Potato Growers
Association and vice president cf
the Eastern Carolina Federation
assures the sweet potato growers
Of North Carolina that there can
be established an unlimited de-
mand for the sweet potato in
Northern produce markets. He
states that after having personal
interviews with several Of the
biggest Northern produce dealers
he is convinced that the North
thern people are especially anx-
ious to secure sweet potatoes al!
the year round instead of three
months only as heretofore. He
believes that the success Of the
sweet potato as money crop de
pends largely upon the organic
ing Of the sweet potato growers.
it is especially essential that
the local growers build central
storage houses, organize local
association and then join in i
Statewide federation which will
market all the potatoes and gov
ern the production as the demand
is established. He states that
the Edgecombe county growers
have already organized CO.
operative association and have
1oined the Eastern Carolina Fed
Grafton and recommends that ali
other growers in the State who
have not organized do so ano
make the sweet potato one OF
the States best money crops.

In an interview yesterday, Mr..
Sobt. G. Josey, Jr., who has
been spending sometime in the
mountains Of Western North
Carolina, said that everything
which has been written and said
ABOUT the boil we6vil and condi-

from first hand information
which he has from residents of
the boil weevil infected area

Mr.. Josey said that he talked
to wealthy landowner Of South
Carolina who told him that the
only way to meet the situation
was to practice diversification in
farming, grow live stock and
get on a cash basis. This gen
tlemen told him THAT any mer.
chant or businessI man who tried
to do a credit business under
boil weevil conf hitions would

Mr.. Josey said that in his
opinion, the program which is be.

the situation if it was followed
