down toward the bottom the mud has

them is to make a temporary lattice
work on the top Of four barrels. Law
bean poles across the four res so close
that the potatoes cannot slide through
On top of this place one bushel of pota-
toes at time and then turn the hose on
them. The water and dirt will drip
through the lattice work to the ground
and leave the potatoes bright and clean.
And us fast as cleaned the potatoes
should be spread out on canvas or
boards to dry before storing. They will
dry in very short time in harvesting
seasons. They must not be stored away
i'll Il damp, cold place while wet, or the
rot will surely set in.
IA good drying and storing place for
potatoes should be provided beforehand
III the barn. a latticed floor should be
made somewhere on the north side Of
the barn, and either stretched from NOW
to NOW or constructed on cheap frame
work. The floor can be made of bean
poles or cheap scantling. The spaces he
tween the Stats should be only about an
inch. If such storage place is provided
tho potatoes can be placed there even
when they are wet, for the dry air cir
culating through them soon carries away
the moisture. All through the rest of
the summer and the early fall the pota-
toes can be kept in this cool place in the
best of condition. If potatoes are to be
kept until late in the winter for sale,
they will turn out 80 per cent better if
cared for in the summer in this way.
All of the moisture is dried out of them.
