Until recently there has been little demand in Eastern and Western markets for the South ern potato, but during the past few years the dlemanod has gradually in creased until there is now quite a 'neavy dlemand for Southern potatoes mll some mrkets. The favorite var iety is the Nancy Hall, the next in popularity the Porto Ricans. Recent prices for Nancy llalls on large markets range from $1.75 to $2.50 per bushel hamper. The sweet potato crop is on of the surest and easiest crops to raise, but it is also one of the hardest crops to keep in storage. Every season in the South a large percentage of the crop is a total loss because of inadequate methods used for storing it. There are several factors that make the storage problem a success or a fail II.P They are: 1. Careful handling. 2. Freedom from I disepse. 3. A thorough state of dryness. -. Maintaining an e'ven ti'epera ture while the potato is in storage. Successful storage really begins in the plant bed. A great many grow ers pay little or no Uttenition to the kinmd of potatoes they use for bed ding. Generally speaking most any kimd of potato will suit their i purpose, nut ('46: xaminat ion is made(14 of their be)(dd ingL stock it will b~e fouind that t here ale pot atoes there with rotten' endls, SOft spots5 and Irk blotches on them.

RY and FEED CO. g, S. C. will do Iuch toward dimilishingtr many of the dhgers due to rough handling . Under no consideration shcoutll bags he used to gather the crop. When bags are used the potatoes generally are damaged, thus defeating every at temptI)t at successful storage. Some varieties are more susceptible to bruising than ethicrs. In experimental work carried onl with regard to this particular problem it has been found that in every case storage rotting has been increased where skinned aid bruised potatoes were in the test. Potatoes that were handled carefully and which has not been damaged in handling had an almost imperceptible percentage of rot. When potatoes are freshly dug they contain a maximum amount of water, which is driven off as the potatoes are cured. I lowever, if they are placed in storage andi this excess moisture which is given o ff is allow ed to collect on them again they wvill surely be a dead loss to the owner. To keep theni successfully they must be brought to a proper condition of dry ness. This is accomplished by means of1, ventilaition and hear; in some cases by ventilation alone. The bank me thod depends on v'entila zion a lone. This method is very uncertain. Some years and perhaps for a1 series of years the hank method wvill keep them splendidly, but again there are years when the bank nmethod will prove to be disasterouca as for :Is storing the potatoes are concerned. The reason for this apparent uncertainty is that the io .istu cre given off by the potatoes has not been d1riven off and has been allowed to ccl leet ins ide the bank.

This is difficult to do with the bank method especially during a hard winter when cohl can penetratel the earth bank and chill the potatoes. Once they are chilled they are lost, for there are very few crops that are so easily hurt by chilling as the sweet potato. Storage house recommended by the Federal Government and the State Departments of Agriculture, have long since passed the experimental stage. They are a success and are in use on hundreds of farms and in many sections large houses have been erected by growers co-operating. or by merchants or dealers who are buy ing up potatoes in the neighborhood or storing for neighborhood growers at regular scale of storage rates. Simple Plans Without Cost Simple plants for storage houses based upon years of careful trial by the Denartment of Agriculture ire available without cost to those wlo intend to build, while it is stated that in sone cases ablndonled tenant houses or other buildings may be con v'rted(l into successful storage houses.
