"The hay stacker is to stacking what the horse-fork is to putting hay in the barn, a saver of man labor. It enables the farmer to life the hay on to the stack by horse power instead of man power. The stacker is used almost universally in the West where stacking is the usual method of storying hay. In the East and South, where mush of the hay grown is stored under cover, the stacker could be used to advantage when it becomes necessary to stack, especially where labor is scarce. Where the stacker is used, a boy or woman, driving the team that hoists the hay, can take the place of a man in the haying operation.Stackers are comparatively inexpensive; there are several serviceable types which may be cheaply made at home." -- [2]
"The proper storage of sweet potatoes is one of the most important food-conservation measures that can be put into effect in the southern states. No perishable product produced in the South is as of great importance as the sweet potato, and none is so poorly handled. This bulletin describes in considerable detail the types of storage houses that have proved successful and the proper method of handling sweet potatoes from harvesting to marketing. For those growers who are not able to build storage houses, directions are given for saving the sweet-potato crop by using outdoor cellars and banks." -- p. 2.
