IMPROVED MARKET
 FOR SWEET POTATO
Outlook Is Much Brighter Than That Of Last Season
 STATE CAPITAL St'HEAU THE AGE-HERALD
Montgomery. AIn..


 The outlook for yeet potato growers show great improvement over last season, according to re- port issued by N. H. Brown, suver- visor, markets division department of agriculture and industries. Last sea- son heavy Tupplics of sweet and white potatoes resulted in low prices, United States oepartme-. of agricul- ture's forecast shows a production of 95,500,000 bushels -eet potatoes Or a 15 per cent reduction of 1922 and a D Der cent less tn n U 1921 crop.
 HrTbama has yielded first place, which she has helc for seV eral years. to Georgia. The Carolinas and Mis- sissippi run close fo- third place in production.
 The largest proportional aecrease in production is noted in mid-Atlin- tic states of. Deleware. New Jersey. Maryland ana Virginia. They are the heaviest shippers, supplying one-hslf to two-thirds of the potatoes reach ing. the terminal markets, and since their 1923 production is cut one- fourth the real southern sweet po- -tato should have an opportunity to come into its own.
 A recent survey of the sweet po- tato curing houses in this state shows a decided decrease in the amount stored. This Is du to num- ber of important reasons. In past yearSnot enough attention was given to varieties demanded by the far away consumer. Grades have not been uniform. A recent communie a. tion received from a large broker in Houston, Te', asks for from one to twn cars per week of Porto Rican yams, United States, No. 1 grade. Every request reaching this ,1eice specifics grade and most of them specify variety.
 A peculiar situation exists in the fact that the true southern sweet potato, which is superior in every way to those varieties grown in other states, happens to be comparatively unknown by t, greater sugar spld" eating D. bile of the north

SEEK CAR PLANT

Local people are very much in- terested in the announcement from Southern railway headquarters at Washington that the company's car plant and repair shop at Gadsden, which was destroyed by fire last week, would not be rebuilt at that place. For several years there have been reports and rumors that the company intended constructing a similar plant here or removing the Gadsden plant to this place. Now that the plant has been destroyed the rumors are again current and it is likely that the matter will be placed before the railway officials at an early date in view of the' am nounced intention of not rebuilding in GadSden.
