WINTER STORAGE

Losses In Storage Can Be Largely Pre-.

Intelligent Management Of
Storage Houses.
By WILLIAM A. RADFoRD

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject OF building work on the farm. for
the readers Of this paper On account OF
his wide experience as Editor, Author and
Manufactures, he IL, without doubt, the
highest authority on all these subjects. Ad-
dress all inquiries to William A. Radford,
No. 1927 Prairie avenue, Chicago. ILL.,, and
only inclose two-cent stamp for reply.
Potato growers in the northern sec
ton Of the country use different
methods Of storing their crops through
the winter. Some employ the old
method of straw-lined trench with
straw covering and earth thrown
over 1t. Others have built Of timber
or concrete underground storage cell
lars. In some sections, notably Maine,
where huge crops Of potatoes are
grown, the tubers are carried through
winter, or until such time as they are
marketed, In warehouses which are
provided with artificial heat. In view
of these facts, investigators for the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture say, an intensive study of the
subject has not been made, and not
much reliable data available.
The reason for this lack Of inten-
sive study are given by William Stuart

and Storage Warehouses" when
potatoes are plentiful and relatively
cheap" says the bulletin, little atten-
ton is given to such wastage and loss
as usually occur in storage; in fact, a
consi derable loss was considered in
evitable. With high prices and scare
ity Of supply the need of conserv-
Ing the entire production for seed
and food purposes is Of the utmost i'm
portance."
However, it has been demonstrated,
the bulletin continues, that losses in
storage can be largely prevented by
the proper construction and intelligent
management Of storage houses. When
1t is considered that potatoes are one
Of the most important food crops in
the United States, it is sheer economic
waste to fail to provide proper means
of conserving the crop.
The primary object Of storage is to
hold potatoes, which are more or less
perishable, in q salable condition
throughout as long a period as may be
economically desirable. The main, or
late crop Of potatoes is intended for
winter use, and must be stored, the
early or truck crop being disposed Of
direct from the field as harvested. The
factors provided by the storage ware
house must be Of such character as
to protect the potatoes from extremes
Of heat and cold and from the light.
Other facts of less Importance per
haps. are humidity and aeration and
the size of the pile or bin in which the
potatoes are stored.
Various notions are current regard
ing the best temperature at which to
hold potatoes in storage. The tenn
peratures which are generally recon-
mended are between 80 and As de-
grees, Fahrenheit, the freezing point
OF potatoes being between 20 and %
degrees 70 hold this temperature in

the northern section Of the country,
where the principal Irish potato crops
are grown, there usually must be pro-
vision for artificial heat, as well as
storing the potatoes in water-tight
building, with insulated outside walls.
It was with this idea In mind-hold-
ing an even temperature in the stor-
age house-that the building shown In
the accompanying Illustrations was de-
signed. Also 1t will be noted from
the cross-section and detail drawing

show the materials used and the
method of construction.
1t will be noted that the exterior
walls Of the building are covered with
drop siding, nailed to the 2x4-inch
studs. Ship-lap sheathing is nailed to
the inside of the studs, providing
4inch air space between the interior
and exterior walls. This acts as an
insulation against heat and cold and
also provides means for air circula-
ton. A 22x2-inch timber nailed to the
inside wall provides mailing space for
the walls of the storage bins, which
are Of crib siding, permitting a
circulation Of air through the walls
Of the bins. The floor of the building
is laid of 1x6-inch matched flooring.
The building provides space for
seven bins, each by 9 feet, inside
measurement. 1t is considered the
best practice to extend the walls Of
the bins up only six feet, to permit
ease In filing and emptying and to
provide plenty of air space above.
These dimensions give capacity of
$50 cubic feet Through the center OF
these bins runs vent shaft, which is
perforated. The shaft runs through
