SWEET POTATO STORAGE.

Are your potatoes rotting? Most
peoples potatoes have already begun
rotting unusually bad. If rushed
onto the market now the price will
fall. There is but one solution of
the problem and that is to store them
in storage house. Now do not
condemn this advice because of what
you heard about a storage house in
Covington last year. That house
was not properly arranged. But
judge this advice by the millions of
bushels Of potatoes successfully kept
and the thousands OF pleased farm
ers last year in this state because of
the storage houses. Some potatoes
were lost last year on account OF
the following conditions: Shelves
too near heaters, bottom shelf too
near ground, no partitions in shelv-
ing, no floor, no ceiling, but mainly
no ventilators near ground.
The house is being remodeled and
made safe for curing potatoes now.
When it was made known to the
Great Southern Lumber Company at
Bogalusa, who donated the house to
the farmers of St. Tammany parish.
that the house did not give satisfac
ton last year, and that it was not
built according to Government plans,
our good neighbor of Washington
parish said to have the house put in
good shape at their expense.
All faults are being corrected.
Steam heat from the power house
will furnish a constant and reliable
temperature.
Potatoes should be handled care
fully in bring to the house They
should all be sound. and brought in
boxes foot deep rather than in
sacks as they wont bruise so easily
this way. Put straw in wagon body
before loading.
The house will receive potatoes
from Friday until Tuesday, unless
filed sooner. 1t will hold 1000
bushels. The charges will be for
actual expepse-from &c to lOc per
bushel, most likely. The more stor-
ed the cheaper the cost per bushel.
These potatoes should be worth
$3.50 to s2O0 per 'bushel in four
months. They are likely to rot this
year unless you cure in a house
where some of the surplus sap, due
to wet fall, can be taken out.
Every farmer near by is urged to
try a load in this house this year.
The house is yours. Use it.
