Marshbum BARNESYILLE, GEORGIA The Story of the Big House on the Hill Every town Has its “big house on the hill”—a rich man who has be* come financially independent and is perhaps the envy of those around him. But the base of all this prosperity has been thrift. He has banked his money—then invested it wisely with the cooperation of his banking con nections. Yes, the big house on the hill is built on the sound foundation of THRIFT.

Lee Hawkins, owner of the Barnesville Potato Curing Plant, is deeply interested in the develop ment of the sweet potato industry for Lamar county and vicinity, as he believes it offers a means of making a good profit to potato growers. Mr. Hawkins has a plan which he wants the growers to consider, by which he believes the industry may be properly developed and raadq sat isfactory to everybody. His plan is for the growers of sweet potaties to pool their potatoes as they place them in the curing plant and thus share equally in the expense of cur ing and handling them until they have been sold and the money re ceived in payment for them. It has been demonstrated that the*e is hard ly any doubt about the sale of all the potatoes which may be grown and cured. When they are placed in the curing plant they will keep and bring a better price. Mr. Haw kins has an idea that the “pooling” plan will work to a better advantage for all concerned. For example, if the sweet potatoes placed in the plant are pooled and a lot of 500 bushels are sold every owner of po tatoes in the plant will share pro rata in the amount received from the sale. He will be paid promptly his dividend and as sales are made he will be receiving dividends in pro portion to the quantity of potatoes he has in the plant and the price received for the quantity sold. Mr. Hawkins believes that cured sweet potatoes will readily sell for around $1.25 per bushel, which will net the grower around 75 cents per bushel. Sweet potatoes will grow in abund ance throughout Lamar county and the industry could be easily de veloped into one of great profit. Mr. Hawkins will be glad to talk with any farmer about the proposition.
