DRAFTER MEN MAY
ENLIST IN ARMY

WASHINGTON, July 2i.-Those
selected for service under the draft
will be permitted to enlist in the reg
ular army or national guard at any
time prior to the call for exemption
by exemption boards, probably ten
days hence, Proyt Marshal General
Crowder announced tonight. They
will not be allowed, however, to join
the marine corps.
The first men actually drafted prob
ably will be detailed to the regular
army in order TO bring that branch
up TO its full war strength of 100000
il the $4,000 enlistments needed are
not obtained before examinations be-
gin. The rest will be put into the
national guard.
Exemption machinery for virtually
the entire country is complete. The
provost marshall generals office said
tonight that the names of the mem

Use Of Pitts, Dugouts and sorry Storage Houses to Hold
the Main Crop of Potatoes Discussed by the United States
Department of Agriculture

I frigerated storage houses. The latter
two methods are the most expensive.
Pitting is the most primitive method
OF storage, but II properly done on
well.drained locations is satisfactory
in so far as the preservation OF the
, potatoes is concerned. The chief
drawback to pitting is that the pota-
toes are not always easily accessible
in the winter.
Potato Storage Cellars
The dugout pit or potato storage
cellar is probably more widely used
than any other type of storage space.
Fitted with water.tight roof it is es-
pecially popular in the central portions
of the United States. In the arid and
semiarid sections a type with sod or
dirt roof is in most general use. AS
rule, the excavation for the cheaper
structures of the dugout pit or cellar
| type when erected on level or nearly
level land does not exceed three feet.
The soil Is removed from such an eX.
cayation, particularly if the dugout is
of any considerable size, is ample for
banking the side and end walls and
also for the roof. The cost of con-
struction may be greatly modified, nc.
cording to the character of the loca-
ton.
| In the cheaper dugout, where the
soil Is OF such nature as to remain
intact it is allowed TO form the side
and end walls, the roof being sup
ported on plates resting on the soil
and held together by boards OF joists.
This form of construction involves n
deeper excavation and constant ele-
ment of risk from a cave-in. In the
more expensive and substantial struc.
lures the side and end walls are built
of concrete.
insulated Frame Structures
Insulted frame potato storage hous-
es are not used very extensively. AS
rule they are better adapted to
southern than to northern climatic
conditions. The construction feature
OF such houses is the thorough insula.
ton of their walls, ceiling, doors and
windows. This type OF storage house
Is not to be recommended for north
ern locations, nor is it advocated for
the south except where poor drainage
conditions will not permit the use of
the dugout or cellar style of house
1t Is not recommended. because 1t can
not be so economically constructed
nor does it furnish as good type of
storage as the properly Ventilated
cellar storage house.
The Aroostook Type Of Storage House
The Aroostook type of storage house
with concrete or masonry basement
walls and wooden superstructure.
seems to be distinctiyely product of
Maine, and so far as has been OBJ
served Is not found TO any extent out
side of the state. 1t is an extensively
constructed house and is almost al
ways located on a sidehill or knoll
in order that advantage may be taker
of ground level entrance. That sucl
houses have proved satisfactory to tn
potato grower in Maine Is eviden
from the fact that practically no othe
style of potato storage house is /,
use in that state.
The Artificially Refrigerated Storag

(By Request)

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The stor-
age Of potatoes Of the main crop can
be accomplished most satisfactorily
throughout much of the United States
in the dugout pit or potato cellar in
some Of its various forms of construc-
ton, says a recently published farm
ers' bulletin OF the United States de-
partment OF agriculture. Potato Stor-
age Houses" In general, the bulletin
says, no attempt is made to store po-
tatoes of the early crop, since usually
they are sold for immediate con.
sumption.
While the dugout storage house is
in most general use. concrete or ma.
sonry houses with frame superstruc-
lures are. perhaps, most satisfactory
in cold climates. In some sections,
especially in the south where drain
age IL poor, insulated frame struc.
lures built entirely above ground must
be depended upon.
Purposes Of Storage
The primary purposes of storage, II
Is pointed out, are to protect the tub
ers from extremes of heat and cold
and from light. Account also must
be taken OF conditions of humidity and
ventilation and of the size of the stor.
age pile.
The temperature should be the high
est at which potatoes can be maintain.
ed firm and ungerminated, and which
diseases In check. Experiments OF the
department with artificially refriger-
ated storage indicate that SO degrees
+. Is sufficiently low for all practical
purposes and that in the earlier por.
ton Of the storage season tempera-
ture Of 40 degrees F. is just as salts
factory as lower one except where
powdery dry rot infection occurs.
All natural light should be excluded
from potato storage houses because
when the tubers are exposed to even
modified light, they are soon injured
for food purposes. A practical rule in
regard to humidity, the bulletin al
ready mentioned says, is to maintain
sufficient moisture in the air to pre-
vent the whiting Of the tubers and at
the same time to keep the humidity
content low enough to prevent the de
posit of moisture on the surface of the
tubers.
II potatoes are piled in too large
piles they may become overheated and
deteriorate. Six feet is a good maxi
mum depth to which to pile tubers in
bins, and the area covered by each pile
also should be limited. A good plan
Is to insert ventilated division walls
at intervals through the pile or bin.
These may be made by mailing rela.
lively narrow boards on both sides
OF * 4 uprights, inch spaces being
left between the boards. General ven.
tilation for the whole storage house
usually Is accomplished through ven.
tilating shafts in the roof.
Methods Of Storage
The possible ways to store potatoes
says the bulletin, are pits or earth
covered piles, in dugcut pits or potato
storage cellars, in insulated woodeT
structures, in substantial masonary oil
concrete houses. and in artiflcially re
