Dig Sweet potatoes
Before First Frost
' ' Don't leave sweet potatoes in the
r ground until frost nips jiienf,, warns
L. P. Watson, extension ; horticulture
ist at State College. i i J
""They are sensitive to cold and 'will
be damaged by ; frosty weather, he
. statedi.r.ClHniagedpotatoea. will
not keep as well as those which are
protected, '"t, s.. "?
If an unexpected frost should kOl
the vines1, he added, cut-them off and
dig the potatoes at once.
Watson also urged .growers to be
careful not t$ bruise or cut the po
tatoes 'in digging, hauling; or .stor
ing. Blemishes decrease their mar
ket value and increase their suscep
tibility to disease.' - , ) :
A', large two-horse turn plow with
a rolling coulter attached to the
beam and adjusted so as not to cut
the potatoes is a good implement
for digging. Or a "middle buster
may be used if the rows are barred
off.
Don't throw potatoes from one
row to another. Three rows may be
piled together, since potatoes from
the two outside rows may be laid
over in the middle row without
throwing.
When picking up the tubers, place
the different grades in separate
piles. This saves trouble later.
Leave the culls in the field.
Allow the potatoes to remain in
the field long enough for the surface
to dry so that the roots will be freed
from clinging soil. This also avoids
carrying excess moisture into the
storage house.
Do not fill hampers or crates too
full. Over-filled containers may
cause the potatoes to be mashed or
bruised in transportation or stor
age. Always clean out storage houses
and containers before putting in
potatoes. It is also good to let the
Btorage room and bassets air for a
few days after they are cleaned.
