orable mention in a recent issue of

State Department of Agriculture

the Northern markets becauss it ap- f?k
peals to a cheaper class of trade and cpj

interior grading and packing.

in this Beaufort house, the doors are
closed and the roof drafts opened,

force the air through the furnace :
and into the rooms where the pota- j
toes are. When fully cured (after a j
period of 10-14 days), the air is j
turned off. The temperature and i
humidity are well regulated through
this method. This house has the j
greatest storage capacity of any!
house in North Carolina. The vari- i
eties stored are Porto Ricans, Nancy I
Halls and Jersey Yellows. Theie is j
a growing tendency in this section
to plant Jersey Yellows, both for
early and late crops as these vari
eties grow to large size early in the
season and yield a large proportion
of number ones. Also these varieties
and thu.s insure their agricultural i
prosperity. He deserves the coop- i t-hn
eration of all public agricultural
workers.
