GEORGIA FARMER TELLS HOW
TO KEEP SWEET POTATOES
III. j. Rumsey, of Franklin County,
Gives an Interesting Interview.

IL
Gives an Interesting Interview.
Mr.. H. j. Rumsey of near Carnes-
Vile gave a very interesting inter-
view a few days ago on keeping sweet
potatoes. Mr.. Rumsey says he bought
some seed Boom potatoes 26 years
ago, and he has not been without
sweet potatoes since. Mr.. Rumsey
gave the following rules, which he
observes in keeping potatoes:
Mr.. Rumsey says it is just as i'm
portant for potatoes to ripen as it is
for fruit to ripen, and that sweet
potatoes cannot be kept well unless
they are allowed to ripen. He says
they sometimes ripen before frost
comes, and that sometimes they do
not ripen until several days, or per-
haps weeks, after frost. The method
of finding out when a potato is ripe
is very simple Take a potato out
of the ground, break off an end and
lay it in the sun. If the potato cures
with a white scab over the broken
place IL Is Ilp6y anu IL II IuI CD Win
a greenish scab over the broken place
the potato is not ripe. This is very
important factor in keeping potatoes,
and one Mr.. Rumsey says is very
easy to observe.
In keeping sweet potatoes Mr..
Rumsey says he gets the best results
from putting the potatoes in a dry
house. Next, he says the potatoes
should be put in the heap properly.
In gathering the potatoes lay aside
the broken and bruised potatoes for
immediate use, keeping only the un-
bruised potatoes. He says it will not
be advisable to place more than 25
bushels in a round heap, If more
potatoes are to be kept it is best to
make it long heap, or to make sew
eral heaps Never heap them till
the top of the heap is more than two
feet from the ground. Mr.. Rumsey
says many people make the mistake
of covering their potatoes too soon.
He says they should be allowed to
season thoroughly in the heap. Do
not cover them until you think they
are frozen. He says they will keep
all right in the heap without cover
till the weather is cold enough to
cause ice an eighth of an inch thick.
After the potatoes are thoroughly
seasoned cover with dry dirt at least
two inches thick over the heap, and
also allow the dirt to run down
through the creyices formed by the
potatoes.
Mr.. Rumsey urges precaution in
having a dry place for the potatoes.

to his opportunities, makes good and
behaves; if his later years realize
the expectations his foster parents
place in him now he has a great flu
ture. He has the boundless spaces at
lryington to romp in now, and the
boundless chances to grow up big
strong boy, a fine youth, to go to
college, and learn to be a man. He
may come into opportunities such as
few boys have. Years will tell wheth-
er the bundle some boy left on the

WRONG ICE BOX THEORY.

Many people make the mistake of
wrapping the ice in the ice box in
paper. The theory is that it saves
ice. 1t does, but it spoils food and
kills folk. If the interior of the re-

In no other way can it cool the box.
