With reference to the rottng of potatoes
an experienced grower says that when there
is trouble OF potatoes rot.ing they should be
lime cured. His methods Of doing this is

take Stacked lime and scatter It ever the
potatoes until they are white with thin
coating OF the lime. The action of the lime
has the effect OF absorbing the moisture of
the tuber and stopping the heating or fer.
menting that 30 often causes the rot. in
