0000 STORAGE FOR K SWEET POTATO CHOP It is Not Required to Have Airy Patented Plans For i It * NO NEED TO PAY A;;Y FAfiCY PRICE. When Home Made Plans Arc Just a3 Effective for w Farmers. V There is n > mystery about building a satisfactory storage house for sweet potatoes. Southern farmers v. ho are paying large prices for paten. ed plans and equipment alleged to provide the only successful way of storing sweet potatoes, are being defrauded. Specialists of the Unit cl Slates Department of Agriculture v.hose attention recently has been cad led to instances in which farmers \v<ive paid as high as $750 for sets of plans, do not hesitate to brand such ^ activities as plain humbuggery.

Misleading Reports Circulated. Because reports have been mad' and circulated in the South that stor age houses recommended by the department are not satisfactory, it > ^ believed necessary, now that tlx* time to provide adequate storage fo> the coming harvest is at hand, to co rect such statements. One man with plans to sell has said that the shrink age of sweet potatoes stored in ho us es designed by th/? Government specialists is from 16 to 20 per cent, while in houses of his design theris practically no shrinkage. The fallacy of such a claim, department specialist < point out, lies in the fac* that shrinkage is essential to goou keeping of the potatoes. Sweot potatoes stored in the type of houj<" recommended by the department shrink from 8 to 10 per cent?ir weight, not hulk?by reason of evap oration oe .surplus moisture.

Four years of investigation with 100 houses under observation showed that the average lo-s by do c*y, after an average sun ago period orf 124 days, was le*s than 2 1-2 pe: cent. In determining this loss representatives of the department peisonally graded the potatoes in eac house?a total of 228.000 bushels , Every potato that had a decayc spot was thrown out and classed a decayed. In each case the potatoe; were harvested, stored, and cared for by fanners. In the department'.1 AU'r?

Copenhagen.?A remarkably frank article by the Berlin correspondent >J i ne r?uuof.ui Yuienden, passed by the foreign office censorship, disusses the scarnv side of the submarine campaign and the effect it has upon neutrals. It is generally recogr!:ad. iie says, that the longer* the. campaign continues. the fewer friends Clermany will have after thn w ar. This consideration, togetlier with the thoughts of many billions which another six months' war wou'd cost, were the two principal factors which, contributed to bunging a majority of the Reichstag into line upon a hist for immediate peace. The correspondent says now it is generallv a<i1 A ' mat the of foot of th 4 campaign has boon miscalculat nl not regarding the amount of tonnage destroyed, but as to the time required to make its effects felt in Kngland. The German people are still convinced that it will succeed ultimately if given time and they themselves are able to hold out. Disregarding Galician happenings as accidental, the correspondent says there can be no question of a big offensive, owing to lack of men,, as Field Marshal von Hindenburg frankly admitted, but there is no doubt the front can hold out. The correspondent gives as two of the most striking impressions upon his return to Berlin the disappearance of children who have been sent to the country in thousands and the appearance of a new type of Berliner a lank individual with skin hanging in folds who has supplanted the corpulent German. A few have loai less than 15 pounds in weight, many more than ,'10, but they are healthy and usually improved. Another feature is the disappearance of vegetables owing the drought.

Premier Lloyd George's skepticism regarding Ch mcellor Michaelis' good faith, his doubts whether the chancellor's reply to the Reichstag resolution really means what it pretends to mean, his belief that the reference of peace professing statesmen to the security of frontiers, capable of being extended at will to cover the absorption of Belgium and any other d< sired annexations, received unexpected justification and corroboration from German sou re* s in the growing frankness of criticism which the defunct Zukunft might envy. It was declared yesterday that Chancellor Michael is' speech was ambiguous and open to two interpretations which Lloyd George mentioned. It was added that the policy of silence of political aims inaugurated by exChancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg find continued by Herr Michaelis. had laid the German policy open to that lubious repute which Lloyd George criticised.
