representatives of the different
counties which the J. y. Highway
has been laid in Mississippi, and
find that some of them are not doing
anything toward the building Of that
highway and some have not even ar

the locating of the J. D. Highway

themselves to go to work and as speed

Since sweet potato canning fac

preference for the Nancy Hall and

and practically all Northern Mar

facity.
There are many so-called patented
or forced air system being intro
duced on the market; these houses re-
quire machinery which is expensive
to install and to operate, and, too
they have yet to prove as efficient
results, consistent with cost of con-
struction, as, the house recommended
by the United States Department of
Agriculture.
The ultimate aim in building stor
age house is to avoid spoilage from
decay, congested markets, and to dis
pose of the potatoes satisfactorily
by curing, and by continued market
ing over to longer period of time; and
it is acknowledge that successful
marketing is based on quality pro-
ducts. The curing, or storage house
is not cure of all ills; thus growers
must exercise extreme care in select
ing seed stock to see that it is free
of disease. Unfortunately, some
growers have habit of bedding out
partially diseased potatoes, feeling
that since they are unfit for eating
purposes they will develop few
slips or draws. This is very bao
practice and a first class potato can
not be expected to result for the use
of such diseased seed-stock. Sweet
potatoes as a rule should not be plant
ed in the same plats or field yeal
after year; by this practice various
field diseases develop and the storage
houses will not cure out the potatoes
as efficiently as would be the case
otherwise, although some of the so
called forced air systems claim sucl
as one of their many virtues.
The progress-itemizer., 1920-03-19
SOILS

Sell type are important; however,
the sweet potatoes will grow and
make fair yield on wide range of
soils, varying from poor to rich and
from light to heavy soils. A well
drained, sandy loan soil of moder-
ate fertility with clay sub-soil is
preferable but since the sweet pota
to has tendency to grow downward
rather than to the side or above the
base of plant as is the case with its
IRISH brother, deep preparation, there
fore, is absolutely necessary.
The progress-itemizer., 1920-03-19
STORAGE

To meet the grave situation which
would naturally develop if all pota-
toes were rushed to market at har-
vest time in green state causing the
markets to become confestdd, and
since moreover, the potatoes would
keep but short time, condition
which would result in grave losses,
specialists nave improved on plans
of storage house for the curing of po-
tatoes and splendid success is report
ed.
The storage house recommended by
the Government is not only proving
90 to SO per cent efficient, but is
very easy and cheap to operate. The
process is simple: the house is heat
