Every farmer in this section should increase his acreage another year in sweet potatoes. The demand has been larger this year than it has been in several years and the supply has been reduced. This section of the state is splendidly adapted for the growing of sweet potatoes. The soil and cli- matic conditions are favorable to the growing of this much desired food and the market price has held strong the whole season. The Worth county Local says: “Sweet potatoes are bringing a good price in tha northern markets now at a time when the farmers of Worth county have none to sell. Several carloads have been shipped to New York from different sections of Georgia lately for which the farm ers received a good price. The timo is coming when no farmer in south Georgia can afford to neglect this crop which is growing in popularity every year. Commenung on the above the Moultrie Observer has the following: “It very often happens that way. “If our foresight were as good as our hindsight, we would do much better. We could have raised the potatoes this year but the price of potatoes went bad a year or two ago, and of course it was presumed that the price would always be bad after that. Those who had been growing potatoes quit." sis recent years the sweet potato has grown to be very popular in the north and the demand from that sec tion of the country has been unusual ly large. For many years the sweet potato was scarcely known outside the southern states, but since it has been introduced in other sections of the eouhtrry where the potato is not grown it has become one of the most -ouglU for food products. Sweet potato growing can be made • no of the most important industries in the stute. It is coming to the front and since the advent of the curing houses the sweet potato is an all year round food product, and one of the most palatable and heal thy. INCREASED SAVINGS AC COUNTS. That we are a provident nation is shown by the most recent reoprt of the government on federal reserve savings bank accounts. No section bf the country reports a backward tendency, and the south seems to be about a.-, prosperous as any of the other parts of the United States, judging by the amount of money we said away at 4 per cent with the tell ers at the bank windows. The Federal Reserve Board in Washington on Saturday gave out statistics from BSS banks to show what we are doing in the saving line. Just to read ’em will turn a pessimist into an optimist—or should do so. . avings bank deposits were 0.4 great er oil November 1 than on October 1. and 10 per cent greater than for lovembec 1 a year ago. That’s do 'g pretty well for a poor cotton ■ar and with cheap wheat and ..hip ng to Europe at a low ebb. Just hat we would have saved had condi t:ons been normal it is difficult to speculate upon. The total deposits reported imounted to $6,744,726,000 on No i mber i, as compared with $6,717,- '13,009 on October 1 and $6,136,- 210,000 on November 1 a year ago. Decreases occurred during the month only in the New York and Minneap olis districts, and the largest increase, ><f 1.3 per cent, took place in the Cleveland district. Savings deposits by federal reserve districts on November 1, 1923, are shown in the following table. The f ; "ures for the Boston and New York districts are those of large mutual savings banks, but in all other dis tricts reports of other banks are in cluded to make the figures represent ative : No. of District.
