not ready to be dug.
The second essential, CAREFUL
handling, should be observed in
digging. Sweet potatoes should be
sorted in the field and gathered in
padded baskets or boxes to pre-
vent bruising or breaking the
skin. The baskets or boxes
should be loaded on the wagon,
hauled to the storage house, and
the potatoes carefully placed in
the bins. When they are to be
hauled very far, a wagon with
bolster springs should be used.
Sweet potatoes should never be
thrown from one row to- another,
loaded loosely into a wagon body,
or hauled in bags, because either
of these practices Will bruise them
and afford an opportunity for dis
ease to enter.
The third and fourth essentials,
thorough drying and a uniform
temperature, may be secured I'm a
storage house where artificial heat
can be supplied. The house must
be constructed in such a way that
it can be thoroughly ventilated
when necessary, and yet be made
nearly air tight in cold weather
Plans for building storage
houses, and for utilizing old 8uiId-
ings for storage purposes cam be
had by writing to the State Elk
pertinent Station, Gainesville.

Instructions Given for Handling
and Housing Them

Not as large an acreage was
planted in sweet potatoes in Flor
ida this year, according to report,
as usual, says the State Market
ing Bureau. If this is true, the
need Of extreme care with the
crop is most essential. Weevils
are doing damage in some locali-
ties.
From a circular just issued by
The Louisiana Extension Service,
some facts are taken that are
worth considering. 1t is suggest
ed that the tubers be allowed to
fully mature before digging.
TO keep sweet potatoes in good
condition they must be (1) well
matured before digging; (2) care
fully handled; (3) well dried or.
cured after being put in the house,
and az kept at a uniform temper
azure after they are cured.
The grower can judge when his
sweet potatoes are ripe by break
ing or cutting one of them and
leaving it exposed to the air for a
few minutes. The cut or broken
fsurface dries, if it is mature, but
