To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the long run we get the most out of them to sell when the roads are good, in the fall, and save further shrinkage and risk and interest. Once in a while we might make by holding, but sometimes we would lose practically the entire crop. I have seen potatoes so low in the spring that they would not pay for marketing, when the fall before they would sell so as to pay cost of production and 50 per cent, profit. Last week (June) car loads of old potatoes were offered in Cleveland to any one who w...ould pay the freight, without finding buyers. This is slaughter, and I will never take any such risk. If you have no room in 'doors and want to dig and store potatoes outside, put about fifty bushels in a round heap and cover with straw. Begin by placing a layer of forkfuls around base of pile, then another layer a little higher up and lapping down over first, and so on up, capping well with straw on top. Put a little earth on top to hold last forkful. I have covered many a pile in this way so it shed rain perfectly.
