ALL AROUND
THE FARM
STORING POTATO CROP.

Examples of Above Ground Storage
Used In Various Parts of the Country.
Prepared by United States department OF
agricultural
The insulated frame potato storage
house is not used very extensively and
as a rule Is better adapted to southern
than to northern climatic conditions.
The construction feature of such
storage house is the thorough msula-
ton of it's walls, ceiling, doors ana
windows. The type of house described
in farmers bulletin 548 for the storage
of sweet potatoes will serve equally
well for the Irish potato, but In the
case of the latter no artificial heat Will
be required. Facilities for heating
storage houses Of the type under dis
cussion in the north at least must be
provided for extremely cold weather.
This is usually accomplished by means
of an ordinary heating stove. This
type Of storage house is not to be rec
commended for northern locations, nor
is il 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 recon-
mended because it cannot be so eco
nomically constructed, nor does 1t FUR
nish as good a type of storage as the

The Aroostook Type of Storage House.
The Aroostook type of storage house,
with concrete or masonry basement
walls and wooden superstructure,
seems to be distinctively product OF
Maine and so far as has been observed
is not found to any extent outside OF
that state. 1t is an extensively con
structed house and is almost always
located on a 'sidehill or knoll in order
that advantage may be taken of a
ground level entrance. Few, if any, OF
| these storage houses have both front
and rear end driveway entrances on
| the same ground level, but practically
| all of them have a rear ground lever
basement driveway and front ground
| level entrance to the wooden super
| structure. When the rear entrance Is
| located in the end the basement is usu

| either side of the driveway. The floor
