by a good frost to negm the work It Is
wel. to let the potatoes stay in the ground

Many are of the opinion that t‘ Is b tte*
to l*g before Hu* vines are touched by

dry. but our own extensive experience
and not a* cord with thl IMtatucs will
k< - p lietirr when *lig shortly after a sni

been chucked l*\ frost.
As tb* crop Is very short this season
particular -aic* should be used to put
them up just right
When only a few hundred bushels ar
. auked it Is well to put thirty or fort 7

Horn** seasons we have found it neces
sary to glv the potatoes a good wetting
ofter they were banked as a means of
warding off dry rot. In fartt It required
an exH*rence of stout fifteen years to
teach us this important fact In regard to
keeping sweet potatoes: To wit, they can
be put up too dry easy, but It Is Impossi
ble almost to put them up too wet. If we
had our choice we would dig and I ank po
tatoes while a siow rain was falling rather
Hum dig fter a dry spell of four or tiv *
w.eks We have dug and bunked potatoes
white a steady rain was falling with th*
result of not a peck of rotten ones In .1
hundred bushels Then again we have
dug and banked after a long drouth, and
w hile the soil and potatoes were very dr>.
arid I early *U of the potatoes rotted. We
hax* found that very dry potatoes after
fermentation or "sweating' almost In
variably develop dry rot. while potatoes
e< ntalnlng all th** moisture they tan hold
are not so affvetad.
At this date (Nov. X>. ntxd as high up
as latitude 33. there has been no frost to
heck even the tendered plants of th
garden. The tomat**cs and txepoers and
eggplants and b*n are still being cull
