ENROLL NOW

ages of lt> and 18 years to become
member of a Girls' Home
tion Club this year. It is Imped
a club can be organized in

NEWTON COUNTY FARM BUREAU WILL
BUILD A POTATO CUBING HOUSE 10
MR IB DEFEAT OF THE BOLL WEEVIL
Every day someone tells the farm
er to reduce his cotton acreage, make
more cotton per acre if he is u"pro
duce cotton profitably under boll wee¬
vil conditions. Practically every farm
er believes that he has got to reduce
his cotton acreage now that the wee
vil is with him, but what is worrying
the farmer is what shall 1 plant these
extra acres in in order to bring in a
good cash return. Of course, there is
not near enough corn, cats, and hay
grown now on the average farm and
we can well afford to put some of
these extra acres in these crops. Af¬
ter w T e have planned to grow plenty of
feed for our work stock w hy not plant
an acre or so in sw’eet potatoes? The
reasons we have neglected the rweet
poiato crop in the past is that we have
never had a good way of keeping them
and no market for them when they are
dug.
The sweet potato curing house will
save the potato and store it so you
can hold them until there is a demand
for them. At digging time you are
lucky lo get $1.0o a bushel for your
potatoes and, by the way, if you can
get $1.00 a bushel for your potatoes
at digging time you had better rai> ?.
more potatoes, for they are a lots
surer crop than cotton and you c; n
make more money per acre out of pv
tatoes on the average land than you!
can Good cotton. cured potatoes are now worth j
$2 per bushel. Can you afford to raise
and . tovo potato.', rr. ’! ;. w ’ r
per bushel? You can it you don’t lose
half of them by rot. Did you know
over six million bushels of. potatoes
Lav* rotted in Georgia this year? It
is safe to say that bill of the potatoes
rot that are i in banks.
The potato carirj; h a will save
95 to 9S per cent of the potatoes if
they are handled right. The farmers
and business men in Covington and
Newton county are organizing a siock
company tob uild a potato curing
house in Covington «nd to buy potan
toes. We have enough ’money sub¬
scribed to build a ten thousand busk
el house now, and tr* expect to build
the house in time V store potatoes
this fall.
This organization of farmers*jind
business men will operate this house
and it is their plans to let any one in
the county store potatoesi in this house,
They will store a bushel of potatoes
for the farmer for the entire season
for 20 cents. They will aLso bpy soim
potatoes from those that don’t care to
store them.
I would advise everyone to store as;
many as possible rather than sell for
the marke is low at digging time. !
Plan to raise a few potatoes this
year and support the best organiza¬
tion that has yet been started in the
intersts of the farmers.
If ... anyone. Wishes _ . . anv timber , infor-1 . „ i
mation on this subject see me and I’ll I
gladly furnish it.
