Arrangement OF interior.
The arrangement of the interior Of
the house depends upon the methods
Of storage used. Some growers store
potatoes in-boxes, crates, baskets, or
hampers, while others store In bins.
The smaller containers are to be pre-
ferred to bins where 1t is practicable
to use them, because they eliminate
considerable handling and reduce the
amount Of decay. Many growers store
in the hampers that are to be used for
marketing the potatoes. This Is .
satisfactory plan. az It requires NJ

Hrom tho United States Department Of
Agricuiture)
Sweet-potato storage houses may be
built Of wood, brick, hollow tile, ce-
ment, or stone. Wooden houses are
preferable, because they are cheaper
and easier to keep dry than the other
types. II Is difficult to Seep moisture
from collecting on the walls OF q ce-
ment, stone. or brick house. Where
such houses are built for sweet-potato
storage they should be lined with lum-
Der so as to keep the air In the house
from coming in contact with the ma
sonry walls. II Is best TO build sweet
potato storage houses on foundations
that allow a circulation of air under
them. The "dugout." or house built
partly under ground. is not satlsfac-
tory for storing sweet potatoes In the
South. because It is practically impos-
sible to keep this type Of house dry. and
moisture in the storage house will
cause the crop to rot.
Foundation Of House.
The. foundation Of the storage house
may be in the form Of piiiars or solid
walls and should be OF such a height
that the floor is about on the level
of the bottom Of the wagon bed, while
the footings should be carried below
the frost line or to solid ground. Grid
ers o by 10 or 8 by s inches in size
are usually placed on the pillars.
Where cement, brick or stone
foundation walls are built, they should
extend 1S to 20 inches above the
ground level; and plates 2 to 3 inches
thick and s to 10 inches wide should
be placed on the wall. In using walls
for the foundation II is necessary to
provide means for ventilation under
the house. This can be done by plac-
ing small windows In the foundation
every 10 to II feet. Even where solid
outside foundation walls are used 1t Is
advisable to use pillars for the CEN
ter supports. The rows Of pillars
should be not farther apart than 8
to 10 feet.
The space between the walls should
be left open, because any material used
to keep out the cold will absorb moist
ure. Many storage houses have been
built with sawdust, shavings or sim
liar material between the walls, but
this practice should never be follow.
ed. Sawdust will take up moisture
and when once wet win never dry out.
This moisture will keep the house damp
and cause the walls 70 rot. The air

Practical Loyalty

Grandpa sat thumbing the Liberty bond
Which he had bought that day;
And Granny knitting khaki sock
In her nimble, placid way.
While one stalwart son on the hillside plowed,
Another had gone to France.
A daughter was fashioning cast-of clothes
Into little Belgian pants.
The mother was sewing to help Red Cross
And saving sugar and wheat,
While her husband toiled at the big steel mill
And seldom asked for meat
Outside in the yard by the lilac bush
Were three little blue eyed scamps
Who recently rif1ed their tiny banks
To invest in more thrift stamps
Then grandad lifted his silvery head
And thoughtfully looked around.
Then his feeble hand sought out grandmama's
And paused there when it was found.
