1t is a common practise in storing
sweet potatoes, particularly with the
small gardener who grows compara'
lively few bushels, to dig the sweet
potatoes and store them away in
large pile in dry room without curing
them, that is drying them out with
heat, Immediately after digging.
As cold weather comes on and the
temperature in the room drops closer
to the freezing point the pile is then
covered over with newspapers, bur
lap or old carpets to prevent then
from freezing.
A This method of storage invariably
results in considerable loss from de
cay and will be much greater this yeal
unless proper precautions are taken tc
counterfeit it. Wet weather has ham
pered digging greatly and many have
been dug with considerable moisture
in them and considerable mud adher
ing. This Injuries the keeping quality
stored in the manner described above
will rot badly. TO counterfeit this
tendency sweet potatoes should be
cured out, that is dryed with artificial
heat Immediately after digging and
placing in storage quarters.
For this purpose some room, OF
place, should be provided about the
house that does not fall below 40 de-
grees Fahrenheit during the coolest
days of winter. The potatoes should
be stored in crates with Slated sides,
so there may be circulation of air on
all sides. These crates can be stacked
in tiers. This is the most satisfactory
way of storing for home use and
makes is possible to secure potatoes
from time to time without disturbing
others Picking over potatoes and
otherwise moving them about when in
storage is inevitably followed by con
siderable loss from rotting.
Immediately after placing in storage
a window or the ventlatorS should be
opened to permit the excess moisture
10 escape anu tlle TOOH Hedteu u
around So degrees Fahrenheit. An or
binary stove burning wood or if fla,
cilities are not available for heating
with such stove, an oil stove will
answer the purpose. The room should
be heated for about ten days, or until
the potatoes begin Ito show small
sprouts after which heating may cease
and the room cooled down to so de.
grees Fahrenheit and the temperature
held as uniformly as possible during
the length of the storage period. After
the potatoes are thoroughly cured the
mud will come off readily leaving the
sweet potatoes clean and smooth in |
appearance. Firing will drive off the |
excessive moisture in the sweet pota,
toes and they will keep until spring
with only very small loss from de, |
cay.
