PLAN FOR PITTING POTATOES AT WILLISTON STATION
RE G BCHOLLANDER of the Williston North Dakota Substation explains field pits as a storage method for potatoes. A pit five feet deep six feet wide ten feet long is dug and ventilated at ends. Boards and manure cover the pit with soil on top until the soil freezes. Ventilators remain open until freezing risk passes, then straw is piled on. Ventilation reduced spoilage. earlier years without vents caused heavy losses. For 1910-11 shrinkage about 6.9 percent. 1912-13 about 7.7 percent. Recommended only when root cellars are unavailable, and better than a hot basement.
