2 Agricultural j -8jj ^ Department Cot How to Keep Sweet Pota- seei toes. ^os i: Southern Cultivator. I notice in your issue of Aug. Net ust 15, a request for the best c method of housing sweet pota- 285 toes, and note that the plau you Co? give is the old one?very good, ves by the way, but not near so satisfactory as a method I have lol Nel lowed for six or seven years past, c and in that time have lost no 1 potatoes. A Mr. Brabham, o! 75 Bamberg, S. C., was ttie origin- woi ator, and the farmer wiio tries it the once will never return to the old elm plan. I have tried storing the el, potatoes, both wet and dry, and ot they kept perlectlv either way, oak the loss at no lime exceeding oou two per cent. my Dig one or more pits of sulli this cient size to hold your crop?a to | convc bent one being 3x6x4 leet strc deep, care being taken not to a fii go deep enough to reach the water level, it being essential that 1 the pit should be dry in all seasons. Dig tuliers at the usual Mar time, just belore or ailer vines I J*'*11 have been killed by lros', and coin store them by pouring in on iho by t naked earth. Fill to wilhm six ,'l;nl V inches of the top and make a bad covennu that will shed the rain. To do this place boards around -n,(! tin- pit, having the plank on the north sole twelve inches higher to give it 111"* proper slope for Ho throwing water. Ivir'h can be banked up around these boards to keep out i he cold wind. The'Sou covering should he waterproof,! I and alter very cold weat her set-11 it \ in a little straw or o'd sacks q |. thrown on Ion ot liio > otnJnn.! . -I' " I" ' I " ' will be all that is necessary to to 1 protect * hem. The earth, beiiii: see a good absorbent, will take off! and all moisture from the potatoes van and the cover not being air- ( tight, also assists in dispelling' the dampness. i Cor The potatoes, being below tbo 1 1 level of the ground, will not be trui subj ct to variations of tempera- i the ture. and will keep without [you sprouting or rotting until June1 It or July. A pit such as this can tho be dug under a shed or under a or 1 house that is sufficiently high the from the ground. My pit last the year was under my kitchen, c<?v- sacl ered bv an old door resting flat the upon it and the potatoes kept It a perlectlv without even the pro pla nof i r\?\ of n * ? ?? n? /? ?-?d *" ^ mi/iuMi wi siian, aiiu wt)i? cuu* veniein to get at. Let your readers store part ot their crop bv J^ your plan and part by this, and any they will never again return to "ni1 the old me hod. B. F. M {j?p I>cr\Vitt'?
