The kind of fence around the farm

Hot water may be a good cure for

STORAGE OF SWEET POTATOES
There 10 No Difficulty in Keeping the
Tubers II Free From Disease and
Carefully Handled.

The farmers of the south, who as
rule grow only few acres OF sweet
potatoes, follow the practice of stor-
ing them in pits or banks. When free
from disease at the time OF storing,
this method has proved fairly success
full for keeping the hardy varieties OF
sweet potatoes, commonly grown In
the southern states. but the more deli
cate Jersey type, which is in demand
in the northern markets, cannot be
successfully stored in this way. There
is no difficulty, however, in the keep
ing of sweet potatoes II they are free
from disease, carefully handled and
stored under proper conditions.
Two or three types of sweet potato
storage houses are used by growers
in the northern part of the sweet po-
tato region. One consists of build
ing which is constructed entirely
above ground and is provided with
double walls, plank, concrete or
earth floor, bins for holding the stored
potatoes and suitable heating and ven
tilating facilities.
Another type of storage, used by
growers in New Jersey. consists Of q
basement under the dwelling itself or
under an outbuilding. but only part
way under ground. end provided with
plenty of windows for ventilation. A
basement storage must be dry to in

SMALL END Fer THE FARMER
Organization of Entire Truck Grow.
ing Territory of Southwest Into
Zones Is Suggested.

Cooperative organization among
the country's farmers for marketing
purposes and to secure needed legis-
lation is urged by b. F. Yoakum.
chairman of the Frisco railroad sys-
tenn, in a strong article in the Feb
ruary number of Dry-Farming and
Rural Homes. Mr.. Yoakum has fig
ured that the mechanic who makes
plows, hoes, harvesters and reapers
wagon and harness makers, three and
a half hours, and railroad employees
engaged In hauling farm products to
market, two and a half hours. The
farmer, based on last years value of
all farm products. works ten hours
to earn that dollar.
Is such a division of the product Of
labor fair? asks Mr.. Yoakum Have
the men whom these six and one
half million farm owners elected to
represent them in congress given
them due consideration?
A farmer when he has raised his
crop has performed only half his
duty; the other half is selling. which
determines his profit for the years
work. 1t is just as important for the
agricultural producer to know what
the markets are as 1t is for the lum-
herman, the coal and ore producers.
or the manufacturer to know what his
goods are worth in the market and
what competition he must meet in
his selling.
1t would be possible to organize the
entire truck growing territory Of the
southwest into zones of distribution
and to control the output in such a
way as to prevent congestion and
wasteful prices by overcrowding the
markets.
The government Of the United
States should assist the formation Of
such a cooperative marketing system
by establishing ample sources of d.
rect information on markets and by
distributing that information to the
producing communities. The time
has come when the government must
pay more attention to legislation for
the benefit of the farmers than 1t has
paid in the past.
In reducing the high cost Of selling
we have one of the biggest questions
that must be answered in formulating
a constructive program for the better
ment Of agricultural citizenship in
this nation. 1t is good basis upon
which to proceed to save as far as
possible the so cents on the dollar. as
shown by the department of agricul.
.ture as an unnecessary wasteful ex.
pense in passing products from the
producer to the consumer.
To do so will add millions to the
farmer and save much to the con-
sumer.
