 Few Potatoes Stored
 A recent survey of the sweet po- tate storage. and curing. houses in Alabama discloses that the volume in storage on December 15 last was lass than half the volume in storage one year ago. What is most signifi- cant is the fact that only one-fifth of the storage capacity in the state is being utilized. Alabama seems to have been less successful in the eff fort tc' cure potatoes than any state in the sweet potato belt. judging by the fact that her decrease in stored stock is more marked than any other state. The southern states as whole show a decrease, while the northeast ern belt increased it's cured and stored stock. From expression given by rept rters, failure to profitably market the cured stock last year is the chief cause of the falling off shown. Some very severe losses have been taken in this state by builders of commercial curing houses. Another survey will be made in March.
