Dear Mrs. Covington:
Your letter of July 9th to Mr..
Hudson in regard to the keeping
of Irish potatoes has been re-
ferred to me. In reply allow me
to say that the early crop OF
Irish potatoes or the ones that
are dug in June and July are
much more difficult to keep in
their original condition than the
fall crop. However, the meth
DDS employed are the same for
both.
1t is essential that the pota-
toes be kept at a low tempera-
ture, protected from both ex-
tremes of heat and cold, and pro-
