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 tors at Valdosta. This concern has selling agents in one hundred and forty prin cipal cities, who wire the prevail 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 IRJn rm H W 1 • WLly • f V'> v V I'- 1 V >•# v .'. 1 ’ : w'""' -# ' r " ' S' ---£*■.'!o*- ' 'T.

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. HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH GEORGIA.
