MARKETING SOUTHERN-GROWN SWEET POTATOES. 
9 
Porto Rico, Nancy Hall, and other moist-fleshed varieties begins 
the latter part of August and continues through May. Over 95 per 
cent of the sweet-potato crop is harvested during September, October, 
and November, and half of the total car-lot shipments occur in these 
three harvest months. Stored stocks are shipped in the winter and 
spring, the heaviest movement beginning in December and ending 
in April. Tables 2, 3, and 4 give the monthly and yearly shipments, 
by States of origin, for the 1919-20, 1920-21, and 1921-22 seasons.
