ADVISES STORING PART
OF SWEET POTATO CROP

Since a large crop of sweet
potatoes is now being harvested
and marketed, particularly in
Georgia, South Carolina, Louisi-
ana, and North Carolina, Tar
Heel farmers should seriously
consider curing and storing at
least a part of their crop on the
farm this fall, believes H. M.
Covington, horticulturist for the
State College Extension Service.
Such curing and storing, says
Covington, should reduce the
glutted market condition during
October and early November,
when the price is usually the
lowest of the year.
The price usually begins to in
crease just before Thanksgiving
and slowly increases until the
following May. For this reason,
stored potatoes usually should
not be sold before January l.
On the other hand, Covington
says, it is not considered advis-

GROWTH OF SWEET POTATOES
easy FOR FARMERS TN AREA

Authorities on the production
and marketing Of sweet potatoes
see the area around Tabor City
and within the seven counties
that combine to put on the an
nual Yam Festival, as having
been blessed by the powers that
be in so far as having access to
proper soil and climatic condi
tons.
Long ago when sweet potatoes
were grown in gardens by most
farmers everywhere in the Caro-
linas, potatoes were knotty, too
large, too small or stringy and
totally unsuited for high quality
commercial products like big
city distributors had to have in
order to promote their sale.
It has took a lot of educating.
Both farmers and buyers have
had to learn just what was de-
sired by the city housewives who
in actual practice or the ones who

Increasing Demand And Consumption Biggest Yam Problem

to a shortage of recruiting per
sonnet, no one had been coming
to Tabor City in recent months
but that he expected to be here
regularly.
The recruiter will be in Fair
Bluff each Thursday afternoon
at THE post office and will be

Monday Tuesday and Wednes,

nave TO be convinced that yanS
should be on their dinner table
several times every week.
1t was found that a 20 or 30
mile strip running through Tabor
City had the right kind of soil
for the production of quality
vans. With that knowledge, the
sweet potato has taken it's right
: full place among the money crops
in the area.
Production this year seems to
be on the increase, according to
marketing specialists. This is as
i should be, say those interested
in the development Of Tabor City,
except for the one obstacle. The
increase in demand has not
grown in proportion to produc-
ton. This forever leads to a de-
crease in the prices that farmers
receive for their products. In
order to keep the yam growing
and marketing constantly on the
uprise, there must also be more
yams put on the dinner tables
by big city cousins.
To do this, buyers realize the
need for an extensive foreign
advertising programs that will
convince as many people of the
value of yams as a food as the
Hadacol company has that every
individual needs a bottle in his
medicine cupboard.
Just how long the produc-
ton and demand will be out of
proportion seems to be anybody's
guess, but it is known that the
consumption has made tremend-
Gus strides within the last five
years. A similar growth during
the next five years might easily
make the production in the area
less than the demand.
Sweet potatoes have long been
known to be one of the easiest
crops to get to market. Farmers,
however, have voiced complaint
at the sweet potato growth this
season because of the increased
cost of baskets. Marketing fees
also take something from the
overall price.
However, with the steady
growth in demand, sweet pota-
toes may yet turn out to be the
money crop for farmers in the
area. The season comes at good
time. Labor involved is not as
great as in some other crops. It's
fast growth and fast selling, and
they can be stored and sold all
along through winter months
when available cash is not in
Tabor City today is known as
the Sweet Potato Captd Of
The World" and ranM69ond
in the United States III total
sales. When the demand assures
every farmer of a good profit
margin on the yams he grows
then Tabor City will truly see
production at an all time high.

California S Win Sets
Conference Record
BY the Associated Press

PORTLAND, ORE, Sept. 30
California, obviously saving its
punch for worthier days, brushed
past Oregon today 28-7 to set a
record of 18 consecutive coast
conference victories.
1t was the opening conference
game for Coach Pappy Waldorf's
California Bears and it definitely
established them as a prime can
didate to repeat for the conference
crown.
California husbanded It's
strength, opening up only when
Oregon presented opportunities
that could not be ignored. Three
of their touchdowns resulted di-
rectly from Oregon fumbles, the
Bears then driving %, Is and 48
yards to score.
The other touchdown came
after a weak Oregon punt and
California took just six plays to
go 81 yards to the score.
The record of 18 straight con-
ference wins bests the mark pre-
viously shared by California and
Southern California.

Tatum Puts in Reserves.
Tatum began clearing his bench
and became sorry in short order.
Navy, beginning from it's 19 after
the kickoff, erratically moved as
far as its 49 when Zastrow was
trapped again far back. He eluded
pursuers and seemingly had re-
versed his direction to such an
extent that he'd passed his own
line of scrimmage before he threw
pass to Wilson.
Seemingly, Maryland's second
ary had lost all interest in Wilson
while seeking zastrow. Any
way, Wilson took the ball all
alone and scored handily after
catching the pass on the 18. Thus
it became 35-14.
Tatum left his reserves in the
game, but not for long. After
Maryland took the next kickoff,
Quarterback Frank Armsworthy

tory. A young Navy tackle. Ted

Navy Nearly Scores.
The gritty Navy team, faced
with this 21-0 deficit, made nice
drive just before the half ended
when it marched from it's 28-yard
line to within inches of a touch
down. ...
Zastrow had made a first down
on the one-foot line. with time
running out, Maryland's defend

by twice going offside. Officials
couldn't penalize touchdown and
could move the ball only frac-

There still was a lot of fight in
Navy in the third period, even
after Elmer Wingate and Dick
Modzelewski had chased Zastrow
back to his two-yard line, caused
him to tumble and recovered the
ball. The gallant Navy line held
twice from this distance and
thereafter was abetted by two de-

Midshipmen finally took the ball
on downs on their own 10.

On Ed Ball Farm
County Agent Plans
Interesting Project

Next Wednesday,, members of
the Caldwell farm trainee class,
their instructor, and County
Agent Floyd Henderson, will
start a project at the Ed Ball
farm on East street which should
prove interesting and educational
to many farmers who depend up
on the growth of grasses to feed
their livestock.
Under the supervision of the
extension service, the group will
seed plot on the Ball farm, with
twenty-five different grasse
which are adapted to this eli
mate.
Each variety will be seeded in
to three rows. Each three-row
section will>be separated from its
neighbor with a row of timothy
which is used as a divider or buff
fer during the propagation per-
iod.
The work was planned by Mr..
Henderson to better acquaint far
mers with the growth and pro-
ductivity of certain local grasses.
Farmers and farm trainee classes
are cordially invited to watch the
progress of the experiment plot.
