Good Price Expected
For Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are expected tc
be a profitable crop for North
Carolina farmers in 1851, asserts
George S. Abshier, extension
marketing specialist at State Col.
lege.
Because of increased consumer
demand and reduced acreage
this years crop should bring
good prices, he believes.
Abshier explains that the
greatly expanded cotton acreage
and increased tobacco allotments
will out deeply into sweet potato
acreage this year. He says the de-
crease will be particularly notice
able here in the South.
"In view of the expected strong
demand and short supply" says
Abshier, North Carolina farm.
ers should find sweet potatoes a
very profitable enterprise this
year." The demand for the Porto
Rico variety is expected to be
particularly strong, according tc
the specialist.
Farmers who have enough land
and sufficient labor are urged to
grow as many sweet potatoes as
last year. The U. S. Department
Of Agriculture is recommending
the same sweet potato acreage
for 1851 as was advised for 1850
Crop specialists urge sweet pc.
