COUNCIL OF Defense
PLANS POTATO DRYER
BODY REALIZES NECESSITY OF
THIS MODERN METHOD
Curing Of Crop Would be Hastened
Thereby and Would Save Many
Of Tubers from Rottlng

At its meeting on last Wednesday
May 21, the parish council Of defense
discussed at great length the erection
OF potato drying plants throughout the
parish, ano requested Mr.. ]. A. Durio,
chairman OF the food supply and dis
tribution committee, to obtain the ne.
cessary data as to cast, etc. and call
meetings of citizens at different
points to endeavor to interest them
in the matter.
Opelousas, it would appear, has a
good chance of securing dryer for
the crop of sweet potatoes this fall, as
DR.. John A. Haas and Mr.. e. M. Boag-
nj, both of whom are farmers on a
large scale, and many other prominent
citizens, have already expressed a
great interest in the matter ands have
showed a willingness to assist.
By way Of parentheses, it would not
be amiss to say that such plant is
an absolute necessity in this country,
especially since the farmers, follow
ing the demands of the markets, have
gone into the planting of the yellow
flesh potatoes to great extent. It
is well known that these potatoes, In
such large demand, do not keep as
well as tn eold-time varieties and rot
quickly unless artificially cured, and
this latter seems impossible without
the modern drying plant, so lately
erected in many localities South.
St. Landry is BY far and large the best
potato country in the south and IN or
der to save its crop it should have
these driers,
