Potato Project needs your support, both physical and financial By Doug Sharp The 13th year of the Cleveland County Potato Project (CCPP) is under way with potatoes growing and planting of sweet potato slips about to begin. These events will offer numerous volunteer opportunities. White potatoes will be harvested July 7 and 8. Individuals and groups are welcome to lend a hand. All ages welcome, from 6 to 96. In the meantime, de-bugging is now going full steam. This is also good work for all ages. Good nature lessons here, a good example of man versus the insect world. Sweet potato planting is scheduled to start June 6. Help is needed to assist the mechanical planter. Also, volunteers are needed to drive

to Autreyville, NC (Sampson County near Clinton) to pick up a load of potato slips. This is a trip of approx. 475 to 500 miles. It is a very scenic drive into the heart of sweet potato country. The ideal schedule is to pick up plants on Monday and plant the following days. CCPP is facing a criti-

cal financial situation due to the increase in prices. You can help by contributing to the Cleveland County Potato Project, 107 Quail Hollow Dr. Kings Mtn NC, 28086. CCPP is a 501c3 charity. Dates, times, locations, etc. are available by calling Doug Sharp at 704 472 5128.
