X ^ , v STORAGE-HOUSE “ ■i" . WMhinsWa, D. C.. July 1*.— There it no mystery about buildin? a satisfactory .storage house for aweet potatoes. Southern farmers who are paying large prices for pat ented plans and equipment alleged to provide the only successful way ' of storing sweet potatoes, are be- • ing .defrauded. Specialists of the United States Department of Agri culture whose attention • recently has been called to instances in which farmers have paid as high as 9750 for sets of plans, do not hesitate to brand such activities as plain humbtiggery. Plans of hous**3 , that incorporate the simple prin ciples of storage and conmon sens*' methods of construction, and which have proved successful by years ^>f careful trial, are furnished free by j the Departtpent of Agriculture to any farmer who will ask for them. Because reports have been mad' and circulated in ‘the South that storage, houses recommended !}>’ the Department of Agriculture are nor satisfactory, it is believed neoessarv. ■brink • to' 1# for cent- tft Weight. not bulk, by reason of evaporation of surplus moisture. Proper cur ing of sweet potatoes means getting rid of surplus moisture, and the' type of house which the specialists suggest accomplishes this by com bining the ordinary principles ol good ventilation ,with common sense methods of construction.

Four yoars of investigation with one hundred houses under obseYva tion showed that the average loss by decay, after an average storage period of 124 dStys. was less than 2 1-2 per cent. In determining thr: loss representatives of the depart ment personally graded the pot i -1 toes in each house—a total of 228.-j ooo bushels. Every, yctato thar ha»| a decayed',spot was thrown Ou* and classed as decayed. In ‘ n* h, ca-'^ the potatoes were harvAste', stored and cared for by farmers.
