Store Potatoes
So They will Keep
J. F. Rosborough, Exten. Horti.
Within two weeks most home
gardeners, the entire family, pop,
and the hired hands, will be digging
picking up and storing the spring
Irish potato crop.
Let potatoes mature before they
are dug.
A potato crop should be ready for
harvest eighty days from the time
the seed are planted. Potatoes
be dug before the tops die, but they
should be mature if they are to keep
properly. To check the maturity ex-
ert thumb pressure on the skin of
few of the potatoes. If the skin is
tough and does not break or skin
easily, the crop may be harvested,
in areas where excessive rainfall
bts occurred a short timj before har-
vest, water blisters (small elevat-
ed white spots) are likely to occur
on the skin. Delay harvesting until
the blisters have dried. If harvest-
ing is done while the potatoes are
“sappy” or “blistery” heavy losses
by rottening may occur.
How do you dig them?
Potatoes should not be handled
like sticks of stove wood if they are
to keep. A turning plow or a middle
buster run 8-10 inches deep may be
used to dig the crop. Separate all
skinned or bruised potatoes from the
good ones. Use the skinned ones
first. If storage conditions are right,
the others will wait patiently for
their turn on the table. Remember
to handle them almost as carefully
as you would an egg. As soon as the
potatoes are dug, place them in the
shade so that they will not blister.
Good storage conditions are seeen-
tial.
A cool, well ventilated cellar is
satisfactory for potato storage, pro-
vided it has an overhead vent that
will allow the warm air moisture to
escape. The door and overhead vent
should be opened at night and closed
during the day to keep the interior
cool. If out building or the area un-
der the farm house are to be used
for storage purposes, cross ventila-
tion is essential. If exposed to light,
potatoes will turn green. Avoid
spreading the potatoes out on the
ground floor. Provide a slatted false
Two Minute Sermon
By THOMAS HASTWELL
RELIGION IS LEARNED BY
LIVING IT: We are born with cer-
tain intincts. We come into this
world with a natural desire for food
and shelter and drink and the hu-
man bodily comforts. We have in-
born in us a feeling that there is a
creator, a spirit, a mind ruling over
the orderly processes ol the universe
to whom we can turn in our extremi-
ty. These things we do not have to
learn or to acquire. We do, however,
have to learn to read and write nad
to understand the written word, to
think logically and constructively.
We have to learn the arts and the
sciences and human skills that we
may fill a larger place in the social
scheme. We learn these by study.
There are some things, however, that
we learn by living. We learn religion
by living. We do not inherit religion.
It is not merely a principle taught.
It is a vital experience in our lives.
In order to really know Christ we
have got to interpret and motivate
in terms of daily living the things
he taught. The story of the good Sa-
maritan means little to us until we,
too, have been a Good Samaritan.
We know little of Christ’s forgive-
ness until we too have forgiven even
those who have despitefully used us.
We can’t learn our religion as we
learn the multiplication table and
the alphabet. We must learn it by
living it.

space. Even willow poles or hay on
which the potatoes are spread will
allow the air to completely circle
each potato. Remember that pota
toes breathe and sweat just as you
and I. Ventilation picks up the mois-
ture and keeps the potatoes dry
which tends to reduce rot.
What varieties keep best?
Irish Cobbler is preferable to Bliss
Triump for storage. Try to have
some of both kind. Bliss Triump for
early “New Potatoes” have a place
for immediate use. The bulk of your
1939 planting, if to be stored, should
be in Cobblers, the kind to store for
winter baking or frying.

In one of his recent pronounce
ments Secretary of State Cordell
Hull outlines a “broad program of
world economic reconstruction.
Among the suggestions made by Mr.
Hull which should appeal to all
nations is an agreement among
tions that raw material supplies of
the world “must be available to all
nations without discrimination.” An-
other suggestion is that the regula
tion of the supply of commodities
“must be so handled as to protect
fully the interests of the consuming
countries and their people.” These
two suggestions touch upon points
of vital interest to many countries
of the world whose raw material
sources are insufficient for their in
dustrial needs. It will also appeal to
those countries whose supply of com-
modities is less than their needs.
Idealistic though it sounds, it does
furnish a basis upon which an en-
during future civilization might be
built.
