Will YOU some of your subscribers kindly
answer the following questions:
l. When is tn best time to make lazy bed for
Irish potatoes. and which is the best method of
making it?
2. What is the safest plan for storing away
sweet potatoes for winter, and when is the best
time to dig them?
3. How cassava seed or stalks saved to
keep them from freezing? J. e.
DeLand. Florida. l..
1. March tosMay. Prepareyour ground
in the usual way for Irish potatoes, and
then cover the whole with heavy mulch.
9. To make q sweet potato house,
drive or set two posts in the ground, so
that the tops are not over fourfeet above
the ground; from one to the other put
pole or a 2x4, making the length accord
ing to the quantity potatoes to store.
Cut pieces Of boards six feet long and lay
one end on the pole on the
other or the ground, thus max
ing q n shaped house. Commence at
one end and store the potatoes, putting
on the top as you lengthen the pile.
After all are stored away cover the
boards with dirt, if you are where there
is danger OF heavy frost or light freeze.
The ends should be closed up, except near
the top for ventilation. Dig before a frost
kills the vines. II frost kills your vines
have them cut off at once, and you need
not then hurry to dig the tubers for
week.
3. Pile the stalks in compact heap
and cover with weeds and grass, then
cover all with dirt, leaving event" places
near the top which are so protected that
rain cannot get into them.

De Bonneville and Mrs Phoebe A. Hanaford
