Plans for Sweet Potato Storage
House

It is not reasonable to suppose
that all of the sweet potatoes pro-
duced in this state can be eaten IN
3. short time, nor that all can find
ready market at harvesting
time. To save them for food it Is
necessary that they be properly
cured and stored.
The most practical means OF
storing five hundred bushels or
more sweet potatoes is in build
ing erected or remodeled for the
purpose, says A. P. Spencer of the
University Of Florida extension
division. A good plan is to build
"a cooperative potato storage
house, and by so doing it would
cost each person only small a
mount of money. Plans for such
a house 40x50 feet, 5000 bushels
capacity, have been drawn up by
the extension department, and
can be had for the asking.
The plans provide for a supply
of air from the floor Of the house
artificial heat inside to take VI
the moisture, and ventilators IL
the roof to carry out this air. 4
dead air space in the walls is made
by mailing building paper both in
side and outside of the building
and the walls made tight witt
good lumber, The same provision
is made overhead in the ceiling
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1918-09-26

If the storage house is located on
wet ground, it is necessary to have
a floor IS to Is inches above the
ground. but on sandy well drain
ed l.nd this floor can be dispensed
with. The bins are made of Stats
and have removable bottoms.
They must be set up off the floor
so that there will be a free circu-
lation of air on all sides. If the
bins are built across the house,
thew may be 4 feet wide by 8 feet
deep. Fill the lower ones first,
then lay removable bottoms and
fill to the top of the house, leaving
a 6-inch air space between the po-
tatoes in each bin and the bin a.
bove.
Any building that can be prop
erly heated, ventilated and made
tight may be used for sweet pota-
to storage. Wooden buildings
have proven most satisfactory, as
there is no accumulation of mois-
t,lre on the walls. An unused
store room can be remodeled for
the purpose, at small cost.

DEATH OF NR. JAMES B. TODD.

The remains of Mr.. James B. Todd
were brought to Franklin last Thurs
day and inferred in the family grave.
yard. The deceased at the time of his
death was resident of Livingston
parish, but was born and reared in
st. Mary.
Mr.. Todd belonged to two families,
maternal and paternal, that have
lived in this Parish for nearly a c n
tury--his mother belonging to the
Berwick family. His father, Nath an
X. Todd. was prominent sugar
planter and had lived on Bayou Sale
for great many years. James Todd
was an only son and succeeded his
father 10 the management of the family
sugar plantation known as the Garrett
Plantation. About three years ago
he left st. Mary Parish and has been
living on his farm in Livingston par.
ish. His wife, who was Miss Libbie
Gates, and two sons, James and AL
fred, and three sisters, survive.
Jim Todd, as he was familiarly
known to his associates and friends,
was u most exemplary citizen, and
enjoyed the confidence aud respect Of
all who knew him. and his death is
deeply deplored by them. He was just
forty-eight years of age and in the
prime of life; he had just established
good farm in his new home, and
was prosperous and contented, and
bad q bright future in his newly
chosen field.
To his bereaved family and numer-
Gus connections here we extend our
deepest sympathies.
