~sionally during the winter, and if 1t
becomes dry add sufficient water to
make it damp but not wet.
Root crops may also be stored in
the field where they are grown, in
s~oil-covered heaps. A well drained
location should be selected and about
three inches of clean straw spread on
the ground. The roots are then piled
on the straw in a cone. The heap IS
then covered with two or three inches
of straw, with the center drawn to-
gether to a height of about one foot
and tied to form a ventilating CHM
ney. The chimney should be about
five inches in diameter. The chimney
is necessary to carry off the foul air
and gases. The straw is then COW
cred with three or four inches of soil.
AS the weather gets colder, more soil
should be added so as to prevent
freezing. A ditch to carry away sur
lace water should be provided.
