Irish Potato Crop
Short; Sweets from
South Have Inning.

Washington, Oct. 1e.-The Irish
notato crop of the North, from all
reports. will be extremely short this
season. and the usual quantity OF
no-atoes will not be placed in stor-
ACE The sweet potato is the main
dependence of many southern people,
and special attention should be given
this year to taking the best care OF
the crop of sweets now maturing
throughout the Soutfi, according. to
United States department OF agflcul,,
ture specialists. The usual method
of storing sweet potatoes is to bury
them in pits in the open ground. gu.
investigation has shown that fully oo
per cent of the sweet potatoes SO
buried are lost and that some better
method of storage should be provided.
Where a considerable quantity OF
sweet potatoes is being grown on
any one farm, it is desirable that a
small storage house be constructed,
or three or four neighbors can go to-
eether, fit up storage house, and
use it jointly.
For the small home supply that Is
grown in the garden, a warm. dry
room over the kitchen or in some
part of the house where heat and
ventilation can be provided will be
suitable. Splendid results are OBJ
tanned by storing sweet potatoes IN
crates upon shelves near the ceiling
of the kitchen. In order to have
sweet potatoes keep properly they
should fibe be cured at temperature
of 80 degrees or IS degrees and then
stored where temperature of So or
go degrees will be maintained.
Demands for food are still great,
and it is regarded as essential that
the sweet potato crop of the South
be cared for properly, in order at
least partially to make up for the
shortage of the Irish potato crop in
the North

"Mcst of our seed stock for oui

crop is below normal this year,
which will tend to boost the price

best seed is to be secured" explains
Mr. Tull.
Commercial growers of Irish po-
tatoes or communities which grow
large quantities would display wis

Seed can not only be bought better
