the law which is now effeetive, hum

in the courts, as the merchants are not
willing to pay the fees until the law
has been declared to be legal

Washes Potatoes eefore STORING

washes fotatoeS BEFORE storing
Mr. Lewis Win Wrinkle, one OF the
largest potato growers in Northern
Michigan, recently gave. in the Chiea.
go packer, his method of handling this
crop. from which we take the follow.
Ing:
Il am farmer plowing aud work
ing 1000 acres Of land. raising hogs.
cattle and horses and also hay, grain
and vegetables. For five years I nave
washed all my potatoes and have nev.
Rr lost a bushel by rot after had put
them away in the cellar dig witk
a Hoover digger and pick up the po'
tatoes as fast as they are dug. They
are then hauled to a suitable rack for
washing, where a mill hose is turned
On them with forty pounds OF pressure.
In this way 100 bushels are washed
clean enough in ten minutes to bake
of boil l let them lie for few min
utes only. then pick them up in one
bushel crates, after which they stand
m the sun or wind for two or three
hours--long enough to dry nicely. The
potatoes are then packed away in
cool, dry cellar, where they remain I'm
III wanted for use or to sell
Il nave found this to be the most
practical way to care for potatoes or
other roots. The potatoes, being n
bIshel crates are ready TO sell by The
load or bushel and can be handled
very quickly and cheaply. No meas
uring Is necessary, no Weighing rs-
quired-already to sell, use or plant
4 The crates, II cared for, will last for
years. Z have put potatoes in bins Of
ten when they were a little wet or had
some defective ones among them and
In a few weeks have had to move and
sort them, but since have used crates
for potatoes and other roots mud that
when once put away the care add
trouble is over and no further atten'
lion is necessary
Il would recommend this method to
all farmers. large or small. All that
old fogyism Of storing potatoes with
dirt and mud on them is nonsense.
While we all know that potatoes will
keep well, if dry, with a little dirt on
them. / know they will keep II washed
perfectly clean and dry and that they
