A departmental guide details harvest timing for mature sweet potatoes, careful digging to avoid bruising, proper handling in baskets, and storage facilities. It covers temperature control, rotting prevention, shipping in crates, and a suggested 1000 to 2000 bushel storage house costing 100 to 490 dollars, with double walls and ventilation.
Practical guidance on storing sweet potatoes in crates and hampers to reduce root pressure and improve ventilation. Recommends disinfecting reused bins with formalin or copper sulphate, with specific mixing ratios and a second spray after 24 hours. Curing begins at 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 days to two weeks, then gradual cooling to 40 degrees, with ventilators adjusted by weather.
Mississippi Station experiments show green feeds digest easily and stimulate appetite. Silage is the best cheap form for winter succulent feed. A given amount of corn or other silage yields more milk than the same amount in stored hay.
The article argues silage produces more milk per acre with less waste and material loss than fodder. It cites Colorado data on corn losses in shocks versus silage and notes kafir and other feeds, stressing silage as a superior base but not a complete ration, needing high protein supplements like alfalfa or peanut hay.
The text notes a shift toward horses and mules as the automobile spreads. It says demand for medium and heavy draft horses remains strong, while automoblie use grows. In Mexico the army mule outpaces trucks, with the government seeking more of these steadfast animals.
Lime is essential to agriculture, improving soil tilth, humus, moisture storage, and crop yields. More lime allows longer cropping, heavier yields, and greater profits for farmers.
