*Dried Sweet Potatoes Provide
Livestock Feed Equal to Corn
tK
Much interest has been evidenced •
by public, by fawners and stockmen
and even manufacturers of dairy and
stock food since a method of dehydra-
tion sweet potatoes was discovered by
a member of the faculty of the North
Texas State Teachers College some
time ago. Now it has been learned
that there is a mucn more simple, less
expensive way to dehydrate the sweet
potato. As the result of experiments
made by the experiment station at
Gilmer, a simple plan has been evolv-
ed to make this excellent feed avail-
able. The A & M College issues these
nsbmctions regarding the method.
‘'Mill sweet potatoes which can be
slU-etf, dried and stored at little cost
^inay solve a problem for many Texas
kfarr. ,-rs who face a shortage of live-
stock feed each spring. Hogs, cows
and work stock eat them with relish
and do well on them.
“A simple process for slicing and
drying sweet potatoes has been work-
ed out at the field laboratory of the
Texas Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion at Gilmer. Cull potatoes are
sliced about one-eighth to one-fourth
of an inch thick and spread on the
grass in the sun for one or two days’
rying. Then the dried potatoes, which
have decreased considerably both in
bulk and weight, can be stored in a
crib the same as ear corn or heads of
maize.
‘C. E. Bowles of the A. and M. Col
kge Extension Service, explains that
the average East Texas acre of sweet
potatoes yields about 25 bushels of
culls. These have little market value
and often rot or are fed at a time when
other feeds are plentiful. Twenty-five
bushels of sweet potatoes when dried
are equal in food value to nine bushels
of corn, Bowles says.
“A potato slicer similar to the one
built at the Gilmer laboratory can be
built for from $25 to $30 if the ma-
terials are bought. Except for the
knife, the motor, and possibly the
shaft, the machine can be built with
materials available on most farms. A
blacksmith can make the knife. The
Gilmer machine slices potatoes at the
rate of,a bushel per minute.
“Mr. Bowles, wtio is extension
specialist in organization and co-
operative marketing, is suggesting
that farmers in the sweet potato belt
club together in a small cooperative to
buy and use a slicer.”
