Properly Storing Spuds

lOPCAAJ StoAlhS SPuhS
Potatoes properly stored should
not sustain a loss throughout the
winter season of more than S per
cent, and under exceptionally good
conditions not more than 8 or a per
cent. according to specialists of the
United States Department of Agri.
culture. The maximum returned
from the crop after it is produced
depends on the care with which the
potatoes are harvested, stored. grad
ed, sacked. and the ability of the
grower to sell at the most ADVANTAGE
GUS time.
Approximately one-third of the
main potato crop is marketed at
harvest time, and the remainder is
stored as a reserve supply for winter
and spring 1t is physically impos-
sible, as we'll as economically un-
desirable. to attempt to market the
entire crop in the autumn. and the
only way in which potatoes can be
handled successfully. so as to insure
a uniform supply, is to provide suf-
ficient storage on the farm or at the
shipping station for from IS to rs
per cent of the crop.
Various types of storage plac
are now in use. ranging from pits or
cheaply-constructed dugouts to
large, substantially-built storage
houses. Plans for the construction
of storage houses are given in the
departments Farmers Bulletin SAT.
For successful storage, the tubers
must be protected from extrem es
of cold and heat; a temperature of
from IS to 40 degree F. is con.
sidered satisfactory. Stuff cient
ventilation must be provided to re
move foul air and excessive mois-
ture. The storage house must be
so constructed as to make it possible
to exclude the light, as the table

rates in the light.
The tubers should be dry and
reasonably free from dirt when put
into storage; an excess of moisture

Germans Consider
Sending Troops to
Fight Munich Reds

Berlin, April l8.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The German nation
al government is considering ser
iously the sending of government
troops, or at least German general
staff officers, to aid in the relief of
Munich from the communist forces,
although neither the Bavarians nor
the German governments wish to
cause such an invasion of state
rights IL it can be avoided.
The bulk of the Bavarian peas
ants, 1t Is reported, are still loyal to
the government of Premier Hoff-
mann. The peasants association has
issued a declaration asserting that
the devastation of the country, the
plundering of houses and barns and
the numbering of peasants by COM
munist bands have become intolera-
Bile.
Munich, 1t is said, is affected only
slightly as yet by the action of the
peasants in cutting off food supplies.
1t is declared that there is enough
food in the city to feed the inhabi-
tants for one week, but the COM
munnsts have seized all the supplies
and can live comfortably for a long
time if they do not feed the nom
communists.
Gandorffer, a leader of 4 small
section of the peasants which went
over to the communists, has been
arrested by the Hoffman, govern
ment.
