Co-operative Marketing
For Sweet Potatoes
The first attempt to market
Georgia sweet potatoes on the co
operative marketing plan will be
made within the next. week. The
Georgia Farm Bureau Federation 1
through its marketing exchange,
has devised a plan for handling
sweet potatoes for growers
throughout the state, and it is said
indications are it will prove bene
ficial to all growers.
The exchange is now forming a
sweet potato organization, and
when the bulk of the crop begins
to come in next month, it is said,
this organization will be ready to
function.
However, in order to take care
of the sweet potatoes which have
already started coming in from
several counties, the exchange has
made arrangements to care for
them by co operating with the
Southern States Produce Distribu

This concern has selling agents
in one hundred and forty prin

ing prices on all comodities each
day direct to fc headquarters. The
agents also wire the amount of
commodities their markets re
quire.
The agency then takes the best
price quoted and sells direct by
wire, Shippers bill their potatoes
direct to the agency, or to Atlanta,
from where they are reshipped to
the city buying.
P. H. Sanders, in charge of the
Farm Bureau exchange, says that
new sweet potatoes are beginning
to arrive and that he believes the

j arrangement with the selling
agency will work to great advan
tage. He said the first few cars
would be sold in Atlanta, and that
the exchange would handle these
direct.
Mr. Sanders said indications are
the Georgia sweet potato crop
this year would be extremely
good, and the growers would re
ceive an excellent return for their
crop. He said co-operative mar
keting would guarantee the far
mers a better price, and at the
same time place the potatoes on
the market in better condition.
Full details regarding the plan
are being mailed out in bulletins
issued by the marketing exchange.
