GRADING SWEET POTATOES.

(M. Hull, Sweet Potato Specialist)
The success or failure of the sweet
potato industry of Louisiana de-
ponds, more than anything else, up
on careful grading. More trucking
industries have "gone upon the
rocks" through failure to observe
this practice than from any other
cause. If the sweet potato growers
Of Louisiana hope to compete with
the other Southern States it is high
ly imperative that they produce a
quality product and put 1t on Inc
market properly graded.
The U. S. Department of Agrlcul-
ture in submitting tentative grade
specifications for, sweet potatoes de-
scribed the purpose Of such standard
grades as follows:
1. To provide standard basis
of value, determined by size and
quality, upon which growers and
dealers can buy and sell all sweet
potatoes that have a market value,
at prices commensurate with their
real value.
2. To keep on the farm, where
they have a value as stock feed all
unmarketable sweet potatoes, to save
all handling, packing and freight
charges on these, and to conserve
the transportation facilities that
would be required to move them to
the market.
When all sweet potatoes are grad
ed in accordance with their size and
quality into certain fixed standard
grades, trading basis will be estab
lished and mutual understanding,
confidence and satisfaction between
the buyer and seller will be made
possible. This alone should result
in an Increased consumption of sweet.
potatoes because definite trade and
household requirements will be met
Quality Requirements.
An analysis of the quality require
ments will show that there are NO
kinds Of damage from which the
sweet potato may suffer.
1. Damage caused by elements
over which the grower has no con-
troll or which are hard to control,
such as frost, heat, insect diseases
and cracks from several causes.
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1922-07-29

This type of damage and subsequent
loss in market value is to be re-
gretted, but 1t is something the
gorWer at times must expect.
2. Damage caused by careless
digging hauling and handling, such
as excessive dirt, bruises, scars and
cuts. This character of damage is
cOntrOllable and the grower can
blame no one but himself If his crop
through carelessness does not meet
the standard grades.
Sizing
No attempt has been made to make
the sizing too refined. For all prac-
tical purposes in marketing the bulk
of the crop of good quality, 1t was
found that a range of diameters from
l Il to 3 1A inches would meet the
market demands. While there are
grades to take care of potatoes that
are above and below these d1mens-
ions there is no demand, as yet, IN
the market for them. 1t would be
we'll, therefore, for the grower to
confne himself to the U. S. No. !
defined as follows:
This grade shall consist of sound
sweet potatoes of similar varietal
characteristics which are practically
free from dirt or other foreign mat
ter, frost injury, dry rot, cuts, scars,
bruises, cracks and damage caused
by heat, disease, insects (including
weevils) or mechanical means.
The diameters shall not be less
than IL inches nor more than "
inches and the lengths shall not be
inches, but the length may be less
than inches If the diameter is
n inches or more.
In order to allow for variations
incidental to commercial grading
and handling, five per centum by
weight of any lot may be below the
least or above the greatest diameter
and lengths prescribed, and in ad-
dition, five per centum by weight OF
such lot may be below the remain
ing requirements Of this grade. No
attempt should be made to market
potatoes over 3 IL inches in diameter.
Sweet potatoes of this size, known
as "Jumboes," are not wanted by the
trading and consuming public and
any attempt to include them In the
No. grade only causes dissatisfac-
ton and will result in their refusal
by the buyers If located near
canning factory growers will find an
outlet for this size stock through
that channel. Greater returns as
rule, however, can be realized by
feeding them to the hogs.
The Importance of observing the
foregoing grade specifications can.
not be too strongly emphasized.
Quality, careful handling and grad
ing will always assure the grower
a good price for his product.

RAINBOW TROUT
IN LOUISIANA WATERS


A new game fish has been intro.
duced into Louisiana waters, and one
especially attractive to the sportsman
Tho rainbow trout. This splendid
fighter Is native OF the Pacific coast,
but has been introduced In different
parts OF the globe BY fish culturists
on the demand OF sportsmen for fish
that is q credit to the most sktllfm
fisherman. Some years ago the Con.
servation Department, through Com
missioner Alexander, determined to in.
troduce the fish 30 Louisiana anglers,
and E. A. Tulian, who had had fine
success In introducing them to the
waters Of the Argentine republic, be.
fore he became superintendent OF the
fisheries division of the Conservation
Department, secured eggs and newly
Matched fish from the Pacific slope,
from Wales, England, and Germany.
The fish was first introduced in the
fish pond OF DR.. ]. q. Gladney OF Min.
den. in December, 1917. and splendid
results were promised, but unfortu.
nately, DR.. Gladney, true sportsman,
died soon after transplanting, and the
pond was abandoned.
Two years later = shipment Of rain
bow trout were Wanted In the creeks
feeding the Tang1pahoa river, and In
creeks and other streams OF East and
West Feliciana parishes. BY regula-
ton of the department 1t was made IL
legal to take these fish for three years
from November 10, 1919, but a few
have been taken by fishermen who
knew nothing OF the species, and e1-
htbited as new and unknown species
Of trout. They have been observed in
Tanghipahoa streams by Messrs.
Richard and Walter Kent, and in a
few years In all probability this spe
cies OF trout will DO not uncommon In
all the Florida parish streams.
Scientists differ az to whether the
rainbow trout >is an entirely distinct
species, or whether It Is form of the
steelhead trout The fish Is subject to
great local variations, and the indiyid.
uals in some streams are so small and
50 brightly colored as to be popularly
and enormously regarded as distinct
species. Many anglers regard the rain.
bow az the gameet Of all fishes, and
this 10 probably true Of the typical
trout In California, but Il has been OBJ
served that those transplanted In
waters east OF che mississippi grow to
a greater size. but lose some Of their
activity. But this trout, wherever
found, can be said to have few, II any,
sporting equals among the salmon fam
lily. The rainbow takes the fly 50
readily that there Is no reason for 70.
sorting to grasshoppers or other bait
It ia a fish whose gameness will satisfy
the most exacting Of expert anglers.
aud whose readiness to take any prop
ar lure will satisfy the most impatient
OF inexperienced amateurs.
The size of the trout varies with 10
cality. depending on the volume and
character OF water supply. In the
Sierras it weighs from two to eight
pounds. In Arkansas specimens weigh
ing ten pounds have been caught, and
In New Zealand the claim Is made
that. thirty-pound specimens have been
taken.
