The influence of prayer is universally

it would be well for every inhabitant OF

CROP ADVISER
WEEKLY REPORT

| Now that the season for harvesting
! the sweet potato crop is at hand,
| preparations should be made to bank
| a considerable quantity of the crop in
such manner as to insure safe keep
ing. Every year a large per cent of
the potatoes stored, are, on opening the
bank found to be rotten. This condI-
| ton arises from lack OF ventilation
Most farmers leave a vent at the top
J Of the bank, but make no provision for
the entrance of air at the bottom, and
this one thing alone is the cause Of
SO many spoiled potatoes.
The following plan for housing sweet
potatoes is probably as good as any
yet originated, and far better than The
old method OF banking.
Make a peak roof frame with ends
and ridge pole desired size, say ten
feet long, six feet wide and four feet
high. Now make q V-shaped trough
long enough to run the full length OF
the bank and project at each end. Set
the inverted trough on sticks laid
crosswise on the the ground so that
the air can pass out OF the trough
and up through the potatoes. Each end
of the frame for this bank should he
double with a six-inch space filled
with dirt, leaving hole under the
ridge pole for the air to pass out
After the potatoes are put in, the
bank should be covered with board
Tapped SO that there will be no leak,
and covered with dirt to keep out frost.
In freezing weather the ends of the
trough may be filled to keep out the
cold air No straw or wood floor is
necessary with this plan. The potatoes
can be taken from the field wet and
put in the bank with this method uf
ventilation and in short time will
be perfectly dry.
I saw some potatoes in August this
year as sound as when they were dug
nine months before, that had been kept
