serve Headquarters for information
pertaining to call to active duty in

vidual enlisted by this emergency

Storing Potatoes
For Proper Keeping

Farmers and home gardeners will
soon be digging and storing their
spring crop of white potatoes. The
length of time that they can be
stored will depend on the condition
the potatoes are in when they are
dug and how you store them, says
William c. Sloan, Assistant County
Agricultural Agent
The potatoes should be mature
before they are dug. Although pO-
tatOes can be dug before the tops
die, they should be mature if you
expect to keep them in storage for
any great length of time. A simple
method of checking maturity is to
press the thumb against the skin
of the potato and if the skin is
tough and doesn't break easily, the
crop is ready for harvesting. Care
must be taken in digging the crop
to prevent skinned and damaged
potatoes. Always use the damaged
potatoes first for they will not keep
we'll in storage. 1t is best to dig
in late afternoon to prevent dam
age from the hot sun. As soon as
they are picked up. they should be
placed in the shade.
A cool, well-ventilated cellar
makes a satisfactory place pro-
vided il has an overhead vent for
air circulation. The door and vent
may be left open at night and
closed during the daytime, thereby,
keeping the cellar cool. Potatoes
may be stored on a slated. false
floor to allow an air space below
of four to five inches. Plenty of
ventilation in the storage place will
take up the moisture and prevent
storage losses from rOtting. By
carefully following the above di- /
rectiOns your home garden pota-
toes will last for many months in
storage.

Farm Mortgage Debt
Has Hit New High
Cccnsinusa NON urus Dags1

the third largest increase Of any
state in the country. The farm
mortgage debt in Delaware declin-
ed following World War I until
1916 when it fell to low of Sc
million"
Dr. Bausman points out that
some of this debt is due to inflated
land prices. Land prices in Della
ware are still near their postwar
peak; roughly, double that of the
1858 period However, farm in
come in Delaware has increased by
20 percent since 1916. This is the
tenth largest increase of any state
in the country. Some of the Della
ware debt has increased values
back of it in the form of poultry
houses, poultry equipment, and
heavy farm machinery.
