Notes BY THE COUNTY
Demonstration AGENT

On Friday, March the third meet
lists Of this district was held in Flor
ence. AT this meeting sweet potatoes
was one Of the important topics Of
discussion.
Mr.. Y. Is. Young, president of the
South Carolina Sweet Potato Asso-
citation discussed the matter of mar
keting banked and cured potatoes to
some extent. He states that the AS
sociation has this season sold 4 num-
bcr Of cars of banked stock at fair
ly good price, but that the matter of
selling banked potatoes is very un-
satisfactory. He wants the farmers
selling banked potatoes to understand
that they are taking quite bit Of
risk. For in spite Of every prccaution
there is danger Of them going bad in
transit. In fact one or two cars this
season have arrived at their destina-
tion in bad order. The selling of the
banked potatoes by the association
this year is only an emergency pro-
position according to Mr.. Young, and
it is doubtful if they will continue to
TO this in the future. Since the pco-
pie have them on hand this year and
as money is badly needed in the
state, they decided to take chance
on them this year.
On the other hand, not one car of
cured potatoes has gone bad, and a
great many more Of them have been
sold. The prices for the cured pota-
toes has also been very much more
profitable to the growers.
Mr.. Lewis, marketing agent, who
has inspected most of the cured po-
tatoes that have been shipped stat
cd in the meeting that the best and
most nearly pure Porto Rico Pota-
toes that he had seen in the state
were some from the Manning Curing
House. Some other houses averaged
as good but some came up to the best
in the Manning house.
In this connection, I wish to advise
our farmers to be careful where they
get their seed potatoes or their
sprouts If possible select them from
some source that you know and pick
only the good pure stuff. Remember
we have as good in Clarendon County
as there is in the country, and o
great deal better than most places.
The cooperative marketing Of cot
ton came in for great deal of dis
cussion and the county agents were
unanimously of the opinion that the
association would go over the top
in their respective counties. In some

RED CROSS NOTES

An interesting opportunity for Red
Cross volunteers to be of unusual
service is in transcribing stories in
Broillc for the blind. 1t is so very cx-
pensve to make plates for printing
in the Broille that our blinded sold
icrs and the hundreds of other blind
in the U. S., Alaska, Virgin Islands
and other territories are depending
on these volunteers to give them
varied and interesting literature.
Lessons will be given to those ntor-
csted through cooperation with the
Library Of Congress. We are hoping
to have such class formed in Mann
ing in the near future that we may be
able to do our bit toward making
Our Boys lives more pleasant.
