SWEET POTATO SHORTAGE.
Osm-Fifth of tho Cnf h Loot Am
xlly Through Loch of Pra*«r
Sl*r.g. Facilities.
I '
One-flfth of the sweet-potato crop
of tho Southern State*—10,000,000
bushels of the average crop of 50,
000,000—is lout annually by decay.
Careless handling at harvest lire*
aad improper storage cause almost
tha entire loss. To sar« these 10,-1
000,000 bushels Lu the feral supply
this year and also take cars of the prob
able increase in production bt .the ob
ject of rtf oris specialists of the Uni
ted Stales Department of AgrieuV
lura arc making to Induce growers
•n the South to prepare wi'll-erder
ru storage houses as noon as possible
for the coming harvest.
Storage can bo provided by con
verting vacant buildings into storage
houses, or in specially constructed
buildings. Two thing* are can filial
in the storeroom—good insulation
and pruvision for thorough ventila
tion. These thing* ur* provided for
in plans for a model storage house
in Farms m’ Bulletin 018, “Storing
and Marketing Sweet Potato**." The
plans there described are fur a build
ing of 2.S00 to 5,000 bushels capaci
ty, but the principles of construction
can be - as readily followed and ap
plied in providing storage for 5*0
bushels ur for 50,000 bushels.
It is economy to build a substan
tial sweet-potato storage house, be
cause it will last longer and require
leu attention than a cheap, poorly
constructed one. It would be pos
sible to keep sweet potatoes in a
cheaper sml let* carefully construc
ted house, but tho attention required
and the additional fuel used Would
anon exceed the cost of tho extra rare
nnd material required In a better one.
The chances of loss are much greater
in a poorly built than In a well built
hmtEfL
Construction of Sweet-Potato Stor
age Hssss.
Storage house may be built of
wood, briek, cement, or stone. Wood
en houses ore preferable because Uwy
are cheaper and easier to keep dry.
It is difficult to keep moisture from
collcctl ag on the trails of a cement,
stone, or briek house. Tho house
should be built on poets or piets, so
as to si low a circulation of air under
it. The “d ugout," or a house built
portly under ground, fails because
it is practically Impossible to keep
this type of house <lry. and moisture
in the storage house will cause the
potatoes to rot. Tho «ill« should bo
placed on posts or pillnrs IS to IS
inches from the ground, or just high
enough so that a wagon bed will
be on a level with the floor of the
house.
On many farms in the South there
arc building, such as abandoned
tenant houses, that could be convert
ed into so eel potato storage bn usee
dt heflr Tittle expense. Where there
are such buildings they should be
used rather than to build a new
house. These houars will usually
need to be ceiled on tho inside. For
this purpose 2 by \ inch scantling*
should be set against tbs wall and
covered first with building paper
and then a layor of matched lumber.
The windows and doors should be
mnde tight and ventilator* put in
where needed. Tho bulletin already
mentioned dcscrib.n bow tbe bins
utuy be made.

UF.ES U. S. ALONE FIGHTING

Gerard
xV„ York World.
II Gsrnaany wins or tha war it ?
c. uw the United States mny hove to
UaSu. Germany alone. Junes W. CJcr
former Ambeaasdor at Brrlin,
mado this prediction at a lonchron of
the Broadway Amodation in tha Ho
tel Aster yesterday. It was supple
maated by an almott similar state
ment by Major Charles W. Gordon
<Ralph Conor), who served in Lin
trenches with the Forty-third Camer
on High landers.
Should the British fleet be demolish
cd and America's flrst line of de
fense not be developed enflicicntly
to aland off the Germans, Major
Gordon said a German array could
Invade America and practice in Near
York and othor rich and populated
ceotures worm frightfolaosa than him
been imposed upon stricken Belgium.
Urging America to thorough onJ |
speedy preparedness. Major Gordon
stirred him hearers by exclaiming:
j "Will you flght with your allies
when they a re strong, or wail until
they are worn down and fight the
battle against Germany atone!”
“Well flght now," was shouted
from all parts of the room.
"You cannot wla tha war with oth
er men’s children." asserted Major
Gordon. You’ll have to sacrifice your
own, too.”
“And ws xeill," cried several men,
while the big smemblago cheered.
Effect of Russia's Desertion.
■ “If Russia should go back on us,”
went on Major Gordon, "th*
of the British blockade would be neu
tralised, for Russia's storehouse
would be opened. When you think
of thooe millions of untutored men sus
ceptible to demagogic influence, you
ran see whet may happen. All gulns
in Mesopotamia and in the Caucasus!
woukl be neutralised. The French
line is wearing thin. If anything
happens on the eastern front, Ameri
ca will have to bear the brunt of the
balUe."
Major Gordon's msertion that Gcr
many la not breaking duwn and that
“the spirit of Germany's high com
mand and the military staff is un
broken" squared with Mr. Gerard's
statement along the same line. Mr.
Gerard said:
“The Germans mobilised 10,000.
000 mca In ten days . leas than it
would take in thla country to mobilise
20,000 men. Germany has lost half
a million man in prisoners, another
half million pertaanetnly locapadt
ated, 1,>00,000 killed—perhaps !».
000,000 seen altogether. But every
year since the war began she has
called up 400,000 sew men to the
colors, so that newly 12.000,000 men
are. In the German agny today.
In uiglng food cebnd&y as the
county’s prime duty at present, Mr.
| Gerard said all hotels and restaurants
should charge for butter and' bread
"by the piece.”
Weald Lessen Ceetly pleasures.
He inliraatad also that expensive
enjoyments should be curtailed, re
calling how at the beginning of the ;
war Germany stood carburet shows,
dancing and racing. Recently, he ad-1
desl, racing had been resumed with
greater crowd* than ever at the
tracks.
Business conditions in parts of
Germany, Mr. Gerard said. have
been bettor during the war than they
were before. The jewellers of Ber
lin were unanimous in saying their
sales had increased during the war
limes, “because you know soma peo
ple always make a great deal of
money out of war and can afford to
buy tuxurleo" Th« owner of Berlin's
biggest department store told Mr. j
: Gerrsrd his business had
greatly under nx condition*.
Mr. Gerard advleed harsher moth
oil* in dealing with aati-conacriptioh
iata, laying th* country hud "born
too indulgent with certain portion*
because of oor fondness for free
thought and fine speech."
Georgs McAnsny also advocated
viforooi methods, "physical as well
a* vocal.” in handling "conscientious
objector*.” At tho suggestion of Jef
ferson De M. Thompson, who pre
sident at th* luncheon, Major Gordon
waa elected an honorary member of
