try to keep potatoes from >.re
seasi n ; the next.
There are .just a few essential
things to remember in storing
potato??, which, if followed out,
wili assure success: but it does
no*, make any difference how
these tfeser»ti&!s are put into
practice, the results will be the
i
same,
In the first place, they should 1
be kept dry, not allowed to
freeze, and thev should have a
certain amount of ventilation.
H addition to this, whenever |,
possible, they should be cured
out before storing: however, this
is not absolutely necessary.
Trcf. H. M. Connolly. Assist

"e Ci.s.'S, the potatoes were
t en m ved from I ther places i:
Httrage into these houses, that
every one has j roved a success.
These houses are built with a
double wall with dead air spaces
between, and built up off the
groan 1 c as to allow free
circulation of air under the
house. 1 wili not undertake to
I
describe this house. nor to go
int . details with reference to J j
h-w it is arranged, for you can
pet this information in bulletin
I'i r.m from the Department at
V. .ishir.gton, D. C.
:
Mr. Connolly states that in no
ore case has the loss from decay
amounted to as much as 2 per
cert, in this house: but there
will of course be a certain
amount of loss from shrinkage,
which will probably run to about
]f> per cent, up to April 1. By
this method the potatoes are dug
and | laced in the houss directly ;
frjm the field an.l a heater is
pat into operation to dry out the
amosphere and, to a certain
extent, cure out the potatoes.
Tne heater is kept in opsration
for about 10 days, after which
tim i the temperature and
moisture are regulated by
ventilators.
This house is devised so as to
combine all the essential features
in curing and storing, and it:
seems from the past two vears
experience that it is meeting
these conditions; and is a most
practical and economical way to
store sweet potatoes in a com
mercial way.
We realize that the house
referred to would probably be
too large and too expensive for
the farmer where sweets are not |
g.-c wn :. r the* market. In a cast
of this klr.d, the farmer would
have to use surr.e method that

The p-tatces are brought out

are simply left on the ground
and piled up as high as they will
pile up in the shape of a barn i
roof. If the weather is fair'
they may be left in this shape j
for several days, when corn.
stalks should be placed over
them three or four inches deep,
placed close together so as to
shed the water: thev should not
come close enough together at
the top to exclude the air. Itirt

allowing them to get mere air
after they have gor.e through a
certain amount ef the curing
process.
We have been us.ir.g this
method ft.r five years and have
never lost more than 3 or 1 per i
cent, from rot. and in every case
where we have lost, the loss was
caused from alhwing them to
get wet or from some other
avoidable reason. A permanent'
shelter could be built and a bank '
cf this kind made under the
shelter each year, provided
necessary precautions are taken
to do away with the rotten
potatoes from the year preced
ing, so as not to run too much
risk from this source.
If one has plenty of barn room,
they can be stored in banks of
this kind and covered sufficiently
to prevent loss from freezing. I
have seen them kept in rather
! large quantities in barns very
satisfactorily: hut one should be
careful not to take too much risk
in storing them in too large
quantities in this way.
Cellars and other devices mav
be used, but the essential to
success, as stated in the begin
, ning. should be borne in mind.

The Base Line.
It should be remembered that
' the assessment is the base line
of missionary support. It is the
only fund that can be confidently i
counted on for the maintenance t j
of the regular work of missions. :
It measures, too, the interest
and co-operation cf the great '
mass of the church membership. '
Only one church in twenty
carries a special and n«>: one i
member in a hundred.
Failure to meet the assessment
means failure ail along the line,
it means failing interes* on the i
uirt of the church. It means '>
failure to mevt o;r (io-I-given :
oHortunities abroad. It means J
disloyalty V) Christ and indiffer- |
ence t'i our fellows. It cannot
be justified r excused on any '
ground whatever. Crops may
fail, business may be depressed.

under no conceivable condition

Ihe Assessment In Fu I.
We aie asking this year for
the assessment in full. To ask
tVr loss wi uid le an injustice t>
tlv v.vrl:, a lack of faith, and a
rejection n the church's interest
and liberality. There are some
churches ;i at wi'.i not meet i\
The!'' 1 aiv mar.y that can and
should go far beyond. We arc
paying t-'-'ay ! ss per cap;;;-: or.

missions than we did twenty-fi.-e

American churches in our giving'
jto 'his cause. It is hgh time
that we should awake for the
sake of the work and no less for
i
our own sakes. A church without |
the missionary spirit is dead or [
dying. An individual without it
is either ignorant or unchristian. ,
For every reason we must do at i
least this little that is asked of!
us as our share in the world's
evangelization.
how To Do It.
The responsibility rests upon
every pastor, lay leader, mission- 1
'ary committeeman, and member
of a missionary society. Lay J
the obligation before every J
member of the church. Insist |
on a contribution from each one.
! Make a soecial appeal to those of,
g'eater financial ability. Lay
the facts before them and ask
them to help. Set a Sunday for
full collections. Put all the
church organizations behind it
and make it a great dav for
missions. Special helps will be
furnished by the Board on re
i|ue-t. Collect all subscriptions
promptly. Let none go by
default.
Knlist your people in prayer,
?h;.t liod's world-loving Spirit
may come upon our great church
at (I leid it into worthy partner
? \ ip with liiii pi m for the world's
redemption. A hove all. pray

congregation, humbly, earnestly,

when (led is doing great things
for and by his church. He is
ready to bless us and make us a
blessing beyond all that we have
ever asked or thought. He waits
only en our readiness. Shall we
not let him have his way with
us ? ,
