FAULTY SWEET POTATO
STORACE-HOuSE
PLANS
The Department of Agricul-
ture Learns Southern Sweet
Potato Growers are Paying
Exorbitant Prices for right
to Use Patented Systems.

Washington, d. c., July
There is no mystery about build
ing a satisfactory storage house
for sweet potatoes. Southern
farmers who are paying large
prices for patented plans and
equipment alleged to provide only
successful way of storing sweet
potatoes, are being defrauded.
Specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture whose
attention recently has been called
to instances in which farmers
have paid as high as $3.50 for sets
of plans, do not hesitate to brand
such activities as plain humbug-
gerry. Plans of houses that in
corporate the simple principles of
storage and common sense meth
DDS of construction. and which
have proved successful by years
of careful trial, are furnished free
by the Department of Agricul
ture to any farmer who will ask
for them.
Because reports have been
made and circulated in the South
that storage houses recommended
by the Department of Agriculture
are not satisfactory, it is believed
necessary, now that the time to
provide adequate storage for the
coming harvest il at hand, to cor
rect such statements. One man
with plans to sell has said that
the shrinksge of sweet potatoes
stored in houses designed by the
Government specialists is from 16
to 20 per cent, while in houses of
his design there is practically no
shrinkage. The fallacy of such a
claim, Department specialists
point out, lies in the fact that
shrin kage is essential to good
keeping of the potatoes. Sweet
potatoes stored IN the type Of
house recommended by the Depart.
ment shrink from $40 per cent
in weight, not bulk-by reason
of evaporation of surplus moist.
ure. Proper curing of sweet pc
tatoes means getting rid of sur.
plus moisture, and the type of
house which the specialists sug
gest sccomplishes this by combin-
ing the ordinary principles of
good ventilation with common
sense met hOds of construction.
