PREPARE STORAGE ROOM
FOR SWEET POTATOES
(By Associated Press)

| Washington, May 22.-One-fifth Of
the sweet potato crop of the South
ern states-10,000,00 bushels of the
average crop of $4,000, 0,000-is lost an
nually by decay.
Careless handling at harvest time
ard improper storage cause almost the
entire loss. To save these 100000
bushels to the food supply this year
ard also take care of the probable in
crease in production is the object of
efforts specialists of the United States
department of Agriculture are max
ing to induce growers in the South
to prepare well-ordered storage houses
as soon as possible for the coming har-
vest.
Storage can be provided by convert
ing vacant buildings into storage
houses, or in specially constructed
buildings. Two things are essential
in the storeroom-good insulation and
provision for thorough ventilation.
These things are provided for in plans
for model storage house given in
armers' Bulletin 548, Storing and
Marketing Sweet Potatoes" The plans
there described are for a building OF
$500 to 5000 bushels capacity, but
the principles of construction can be
as readily followed and applied in pro-
v;ding storage for 500 bushels as for
10000 bushels.
1t is economy to build substantial
sweet Potato storage house, because
it will last longer and require less
attention than a cheap, poorly-con-
structed one. 1t would be possible to
| keep sweet potatoes in a cheaper and
/ less carefully constructed house, but
the attention required and the addi-
/ uional fuel used would soon exceed the
| cost of the extra care and material
required in better one. The chances
cf loss are much greater in a poorly
/ huilt than in a well-built house.
/ Storage houses may be built OF
wood, brick, cement or stone. Wooden
/ Itcuses are preferable because they are
| .heaper and easier to keep dry. ii
IS difficult to keep moisture from col
iccting on the walls Of a cement, stone
II brick house. The house should be
built on posts or piers, 50 as to allo"
:. circulation Of air Under it. The
/ "dugout," or d house built partly un'
Gerground, fails because it IS prac
| tically impossible to keep this type Of
, house dry, and moisture in the stor
age house will cause the potatoes II
rot. The sills should be placed OF
posts Or pillars II to Is inches iron

On many farms in the South there

such buildings they should be use'
rather than to build new house
