Ventilating shafts aid potato storage efficiency and safety
In bulk potato storage, upright ventilating shafts 12 by 18 inches or 18 by 18 inches are inserted at intervals to vent heat and moisture during the first weeks. Slat boards 3 inches thick with 1½ inch gaps nailed on four 2 by 3 inch uprights create shaft openings spaced 6 to 8 feet apart, reducing losses from heat, moisture buildup, and storage rats. A separate note states that 386,659 men were employed on Federal and State highway work in July of this year.
