MILLIONS LOST IN
SPOILED POTATOES

Millions Of dollars worn OF sweet po-
tatoeS rotted this past season due 10 d
lack of proper storage facilities accord
inc to VI. Hull, of the Extension Dlvls-
ion Louisiana State University. "Ihese
uotatocs rotted because they were stor-
ed in earth banks, put on the ground III
small heaps and covered with dirt III
stead Of being stored in properly con-
>tructod houSSc," says Mr.. Hull.
Indications are that the output OF
thp current season will be far i'll excess
.of previous years. With this in mind
the horticultural department has IN
.augurated a campaign for the erection
Of \ storage house on every farm i'll
Louisiana. Plans and specifications are
offered free to every farmer who makes
rpo,lpst for same. Personal assistance
will be given during the construction OF
the house and throughout the curing
period of the potatoes. More than fifty
such houses weer erected in the state
the past year and without a single
exception were attended with splendid
success. In a number of instances
abandoned tenant houses on other build
iugs were converted into storage houses
This is TO be recommended where such
IbuiIdiugs are available as they cal
usually be remodeled at small expense.
"Thq storage house, in addition t(
keeping the potatoes at minimum OF
loss from decay, possesses the follow
ing advantages:
~. The curing process improve:
the flavor of the potatoes and makes
them more Salable.
|, (2). The expense and labor of max
ING the dirt banks each year is done
away with.
60. The house can be entered ant
the potatoes removed during wet o
cold weather. This isn't practicabl
with dirt banks.
az. The house can be used for tn
storage of other farm produce after tn
removal of the potatoes"
