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 \

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
