MILLIONS LOST IN SPOIL
ED SWEET POTATOES

Millions of dollars worth OF sweet
potatoes rotted this past season due to
a lack of proper storage facilities, ac-
cording to M. Hull of the Extension
Division. Louisiana State University
The potatoes rotted because they
were stored in earth banks, put on the
ground in small heaps and covered
with dirt instead of being stored in
properly constructed houses" says Mr..
Hull.
Indications are that the output OF
the current season will be far in ex-
cess of previous years. With this in
mind the horticultural department has
inaugurated campaign for the cree
ton of a storage house on every farm
in Louisiana. Plans and specifications
are offered free to every farmer who
makes request for same. Personal as
sistance will be given during the con-
struction of the house and throughout
the curing period Of the potatoes
More than fifty such houses were
erected in the state the past year
and without a single exception were
attended with splendid success. In
number of instances abandoned ten
ant houses or other buildings were
converted into storage houses. This
is to be recommended where such
building are available as they car
usually be remodeled at small expen
Sc.
"The storage house. in addition L
keeping the potatoes at minimum O
loss from decay, possesses the follow
ing advantages:
"n The curing process improves
the flavor of the potatoes and makes
them more salable.
400 The expense and labor OF max
ing the dirt banks each year is don'
away with.
"(S) The house can be entered AM
the potatoes removed during wet o
cold weather. This isn't PRACTICABLE
with dirt banks.
"C4) The house can be used for tn
storage of other farm produce afte

MEREDITH'S PLAN OF
SOLVING H. C. |,
New Secretary of Agriculture Recon-
mends Useless Employees Be
Dropped.

Washington, Feb. ILLUMINATION
of useless employees in nonproductive
business, speeding up of industry
commensurate with the present
activity of the farmers and deter
mination of retailers and jobbers to
exact only a reasonable profit were
recommended as a solution for the
high cost of living problem by Edwin
T. Merideth on taking the oath of
Office today as secretary of agri-
culture.
The cost of living problem, he as
serted, cannot be solved through
efforts of one class, but all business
and all labor must recognize the So
luton as a common duty or "less and
less will there be farm produce to
divide among the people and higher
and higher will go the price of that
produced"
Farmers of America" said the
secretary, "are willing to assume
their part of the responsibilities in
meeting any problem threatening the
welfare and stability of our country,
but this high cost of living problem
is a mutual one and they ask that it
be reached by all the people as a
common problem.
"They ask that those engaged in
distribution eliminate the lost motion
and not put so great burden upon
production as there is upon it today.
In other words, they ask that there
be an adequate number OF producers
of wealth, and this includes property
and food of all kinds and only such
distributors as is necessary to per.
from the services required. They ask
that the banks, railroads, wholesale
houses, retail establishments, fac
tories, all of which are vitality neces-
sary to the former and recognized by
him as such, be speeded up along with
him, that the work done by three men
may be done, if possible by two and
the burden of transportation and
distribution be thereby lightened.
