Likewise, rats and other destructive

With the use OF concrete floors the

SWEET POTATOES
NEED MUCH CARE
Bruise at One End viii Affect
Quality of Sound Portion
Keep Them Dry.
.(By r.. G. wEATHERsToNE)

(By IL. w loEN
Sweet potatoes need to be handled
carefully il they are to be kept
through the winter, and unlike most
other vegetables, sweet potatoes
should be kept in warm, dry place.
In the first place sweet potatoes
must be dug at the right time. They
should be dug before the frosts have
killed the tops for this Injuries the
quality of the tubers somewhat
After digging, the potatoes must be
handled as carefully as though they
were eggs. Irish potatoes can be
shoveled around rather carelessly and
often a bruise in one of the potatoes,
or even a decayed spot will not af-
feet the other part which Is left In
sound condition.
But not so with the sweet potato.
for bruise at one end will affect the
quality OF the sound portion at the
other end and will render 1t unfit for
use This fact Is not generally under
stood by many growers who handle
sweet potatoes as carelessly as they
do Irish potatoes.
This fact is responsible for many of
the potatoes of poor quality which are
served during the winter.
After being handled, the sweet pol
tatoes should be stored In warm dry
place. A temperature of 60 to 20 de
grees is about right for the prope
keeping OF sweet potatoes.
Some persons have stored them In
the sand or dust from the country
road to help preserve an even tenn
perature.
II the potatoes are stored In sand or
dust. care must be taken that the
sand lie perfectly dry.
Handled carefully. sweet potatoes
can be kept for some months and will
be found OF good quality late In the
winter.
