country may benefit from the large po-
tato crop which was raised during the
past season, the United States food
administration is appealing to small
growers throughout the country to
take every precaution to prevent dam
coming winter through improper stor-
age methods. In a statement Just is
sued. Lou ID. Sweet, head OF the pO-
tato division Of the food admlnis.ra-
ton. calls attention to the chief causes
Of wastage and outlines the best stor-
age methods. The statement follows /:
1T is of great Importance that all
the potatoes raised this year should
be stored under proper conditions.
Even when every precautiOn is taken
the wastage Of potatoes during the
winter IS considerable: under bad con-
dltions OF storage il is very great in
deed
In order that the best methods may
be adopted by the small growers. those
who have not had the experience in
the storage of potatoes, should know
the chief causes of the wastage These
causes are:
Il. Sweating, heating and conse-
qu"nt rot: often due TO insufficient
ventilation.
49,. Eotting. due TO potatoes getting
wet AT the time OF putting them in
storage.
"3. Injury from frost.
-. Decay. owing to disease In the
tubers az the time Of storage.
-. Sprouting Of tubers in the
spring.
Losses May Be Reduced.
TT is not possible to prevent alto
gether losses from these causes, but
by using the best methods OF storage,
terially.
This may be done by taking care 10
guard against losses from each Of
these causes:
Sweating and heating occur II the
| freshly dug potatoes are piled in too
l large piles. so that the air cannot cir
culate between the tubers. The risk
! OF loss from this cause is greatest in
! the fall. Immediately after the tubers
| have been dug. and IL is. therefore. i'm
portant that potatoes when dug should
| not be nut in unnecessarily large piles,
nor kept in an !ll-ventilated room.
| III the potatoes nj the digging time
are allowed IN re, WEI and 20 into
storage in that condition. rotting is
sure IN occur Re careful to have
vour no,o,oes dry before storing.
"Potatoes are easily damaged by
frost. II they become frozen. there
market value is destroyed. Therefore
take precaution to protect the tubers
from frost before and after digging.
