TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
In Camp County, Texas, sweet
potatoes have been grown on a
commercial scale for, at least, 30
years. In that time the curing
houses, sweet potatoes, or soil has
never been infested with sweet
potato weevils. For that . reason
the county has been on the weevil
free list ever since the sweet po-
tato seed certificate law has
been on the statute books of the
State of Texas.
