Sweet Potato Cure Plant Promises Efficient Storage
A detailed account from Wells curing methods in Long View Texas describes a power driven air circulation system to cure sweet potatoes at not more than seventy five degrees. The note cites Herbert Hoover's positive remarks on Texas yams and urges Dillon to build a premier curing house to export pure Porto Rico potatoes to northern markets. Instructions urge planting before June 20, use certified stock, and plan crate infrastructure and grading to ship in prime condition by fall.
