How To Keep Sweet Potatoes.

We would hke some infnrma-i
tiou ab >ut sweet potatoes, plea-e.
We have at present about eight
acres in potatoes, th.it are doing
Hue. We have been successful
in growing them for several years
past, but whenever we could
not sell them to advantage when
they were dug ?n 1 had to
bank them waiting tor a better
price, we have lost a good
many by rotting. We do not
know what tlie trouble was, and
would appreciate suggestions
from you as to banking, etc, so

Comment by the Editor:
Keeping sweet potatoes is an
other one of those things that
require exactness in carrying
out details. The loss ot sweet
potatoes results from three things
?1st digging when the ground
is wet and waning too long to dig;
2nd?covering too quick'v and
not allowing the potatoes to undergo
the sweating process and
becoming thoroughly dry, and
3rd?insufficient covering and
allowing the hills or banks to
become wot from winter rains.
Down in your locality we would ,
build you an open shed, covering 1
it rain proof, and pr tecting it
on north aud eastern sides, s>as ':
to prevent wat.T trim blowing;'
under when we have the wind I(
with the rain. Then w ? woul i '
batik the potatoes in the old 1
fashion* d way; using pi nest raw. {
cornstalk and earth. We would '
dig out a place tor hill an 1 put '
down laverof pine straw and put 1
potatoes in liill as we wanted
them. Coyer with stalks and t
straw, and leave until the cold [
weather conies and they had
fully sweated out. We would
not cover well up with earth until
December 15th. So much for
b ulking; now as to digging. D
not wa't after the first ir>s! bit

comes while the earth is dry. We
