BIG LUMBER COMPANY
BUILDS Z POTATO DRY
KIINS FOR FARMERS.

Seven modern sweet potato dry
kilns with capacity for storing
and keeping over 10000 bushels
of potatoes, have been erected ip
Washington parish by the Great
Southern Lumber Company. The
last Of the lot was completed in
Bogalusa during the last few
days. It has a capacity Of 5000
bushels.
After the potatoes are stored in
the kiln, a cheap heatig stove is
installed fred up and the tenn
perature is kept at about ITO de-
grees for ten days. When the
ten-day heating period is over, it
is not necessary to have the kiln
heated again except in case of ex-

"The Council Of National De-

to the attitude which should be
taken relative to improvements,

EVERY effort that this country
is capable Of making should be
applied to bring the war to a
speedy and successful conclu-
sion. The resources of the coun-
try in general way may be said
to consist of men, money and ma

Covington put in bigger acreages
of sweet potatoes them usual and,
as in Washington, the crop is the
best ever. The kiln will be ready
for business in week or two,
and will be filed to the limit.
The kiln built by the Great
Southern is one of the best kinds
in use. 1t has been thoroughly
tried out in Texas and many Sec
lions OF Louisiana and made good
A dry kiln as large as the one
erected in Bogalusa or Covington
is little too expensive for in
dividual farmers to undertake to
build, but they can be proftably
built and operated on the com
munity plan. Twenty farmers in
one community who have 100
bushels surplus each would do
well to form enough Of an organ
ization to get the kiln built. and
then the operating cost is prac-
tically nothing.
Louisiana will harvest the big
gest sweet potato crop in history.
The larger part of the crop will
probably be marketed at once but
that portion of the crop which is
not sold Immediately will either
have to be stored in dry kilns or
be allowed to go waste.
