No Market for
Big Potatoes.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov, 21, 1921.
Large sweet potatoes have no
j market value to speak of, accord- \
ing to statements made here to-!
I
day by potato growers. When I
j
large potatoes are mixed with
medium sized potatoes, instead
of adding to the commercial val
ue of the potatoes they are a de
triment, it is stated—making it
difficult to sell those of market- 1
able grade and quantity. It is:
pointed out that they are not on
ly lacking in value themselves;
but lessen the value of the medi
um sized potatoes which have a
place on the markets.
Market men say there is a
market for sweet potatoes not
i ■ over 3 1-2 inches in diameter and
hand ten inches in length. Any
I potato larger than this, it is stat
' ed, should not be placed in the
j same package or car with market
i able sw r eet potatoes—the specifi
cations for which are the great- 1
i est dimensions, as shown, and
j the smallest dimensions 1 3-4 in- 1
j ches in diameter and 4 inches long.
In view of the present effort
[ being made by many agencies to
‘ introduce the Georgia sweet pota
} toes into the markets of the
f North and East, it is advisable,
| state experts declare, forgrowers ■
j to recognize the limitations as to |
) sizes. Fair associations giving i
f prizes for the highest quality and
f best graded products will drive
[ home this lesson, experts show, '
| while fairs giving prizes for.the
( largest potatoes will discourage
production of those of the most j
I value.

evincing a new interest in diver

; nah, secretary, farmers of Jenk
ins are planning to plant this fall
and winter more than two million
Bermunda onions.
Marketing facilities are being
developed in that for a number of
