Storing Sweet Potatoes.

There is no mystery about building a
satisfactory storage house for sweet pota-
toes. Southern farmers who are paying
large prices for patented plans and equip.
ment. alleged to provide the only success
full way OF storing sweet potatoes. are being
defrauded. Specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture, whose atten-
ton 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 humbuggery.
Plans of houses that incorporate the sim
pie principles of storage and common
sense methods of construction, and which
have proved successful by years of careful
trial, are furnished free by the Department
of Agriculture to any farmer who will ask
| for them.
Because reports have been circulated in
the South that storage houses recon-
mended by the Department of Agriculture
are not satisfactory. 1t is believed neces-
sary, now that the time to provide ade-
quate storage for the coming harvest is at
hand, to correct such statements. One man
with plans to sell has said that the shrink
age 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 claim. Department
specialists point out, lies in the fact that
shrinkage is essential to good keeping Of
the potatoes. Sweet potatoes stored in the
type of house recommended by the De-
partment shrink from to 10 per cent in
weight, not bulk. by reason Of evapora-
ton of surplus moisture. Proper curing Of
sweet potatoes means getting rid Of surplus
moisture. and the type of house which the
specialists suggest accomplishes this by
combining the ordinary principles of good
ventilation with common-sense methods
of construction.
Storage houses built according to plans
suggested by the Department Of Agricul-
ture have been in use in every State Of
the South for five or six years. The De-
partment has no knowledge of failure in
any house built and operated strictly ac-
cording to recommendations. Four years
Of investigation with one hundred houses
under observation showed that the aver
age loss by decay. after an average stor-
age period Of 124 days, was less than
1-2 per cent. In determining this loss
representatives Of the Department person
ally graded the potatoes in each house
total of 228.000 bushels. Every potato
that had decayed spot was thrown out
and classed as decayed In each case the
potatoes were harvested. stored and cared
for by farmers. In the Department. own
storage house at Arlington. Virginia. sweet
potatoes stored in October last year and
removed the latter part Of June showed
loss Of less than per cent.
Farmers intending to build storage houses
should write to the Department of Aeri-
culture for Farmers Bulletin 548. Storing
and Marketing Sweet Potatoes" This bull
letin gives plans and lists of materials
needed, also tells how to convert buildings
such as abandoned tenant houses into
storage quarters.

Departed this life June 9th. 1917. at
the home Of her daughter, Mrs. Alfred
Wilson, at Bethesda, Md, Mrs. Jane f.
Poole. the beloved wife of Mr.. BENJAMIN
K. Poole. in the Saith year of her age.
A devoted mother has passed to her re-
ward, but has left bright record Of I'M
selfish devotion to home. family and friends.
while her two remaining brothers, one son
and two daughters mourn her loss.
She loved her Bible, and was a con-
sistent member Of the Episcopal Church,
which she loved to attend until enfeebled
by the infirmities Of old age.
She has gone to her grave.
Like beautiful dream.
And she dwells with her Savior.
Whose love is supreme.
Her sufferings are over.
And she'll now sweetly sleep
On her dear Fathers bosom,
Then why should we weepH
A home is provided
For saints here below.
And the angels have borne
Her to heaven we know.
Where her loved ones were waiting
To welcome her there.
And she'll dwell evermore
In that home always fair.
Then mourn not. my friends.
For your mother is blest.
Ever free from all suffering.
Her sweet spirit will rest.
The time will soon come
When well join her above.
Where no partings are known
For we know God Is love.

AN APPRECIATION.
Written Sunday Evening, June
10th, 1917.

The light of this beautiful Sab
bath day grows soft and softer. The
rays Of the setting sun sweep up
ward toward heaven. Slowly, gray
twilight spreads her mantle over all.
the shadows deepen, and nature lies
hushed in sleep. Beautiful sunset,
suggesting to our sad hearts the close
of the beautiful life of our dear
friend, Mrs. r.. w. Lilley. Her soul.
radiant with the loving deeds Of her
busy daily life, sinks to rest in the
arms of God. Her many friends are
saying: "To know her was to love
her" but to know her intimately
was to love her far better. Hers
was one of those calm, gentle, noble
spirits Of whose worth the careless
acquaintance did not dream. Many
are the homes and hearts in our city,
Of every church and class, who re-
member the great inspiration of Rev.
r. w. Lilley's life and ministry
among us. Yet how many have
heard him say again and again, Il
could do nothing without her" She
was not that type of woman who
was anxious to parade her good
works before men, but those who
appreciate the genuine in character
remember her as an ideal minister's
wife. She was an ideal mother
'Of that priceless army Of undisting-
uished mothers who seek no emblem
Of honor beyond the happy faces Of
their good and grateful children"
Those Of us who have been in touch
with her home life shall never forget
the kind, but firm control and alto
gether wonderful influence over that
splendid family Of manly sons and
loving obedient daughters. Until
our own life's sun shall set, we shall
treasure the precious remembrances
Of her who reigned in sweetness, in
dignity and in Goodness, as queen
Of that ideal home circle: broken
here, but we trust unbroken some day
in the Home Eternal.
