Vegetables Can Be
Stored Eor Winter
There is no reason for discarding
surplus vegetables, or for dumping
them on a depressed market, says
H. R. Niswonger, horticnltorist of
the N. C. State College Extension
Service. But on the other hand, there
is no use to store vegetables that are
not of high quality, free from me
chanical injuries, insects and diseas
es, and mature but not over-ripe.
"If you put an inferior, diseased,
damaged product in storage it will
come out an inferior, diseased, dam
aged product, in worse condition than i
when it wait in," Niswonger declar
ed.
The problem of where to store
vegetables is important, and the
State College specialist makes the
following recommendations along this
line: Beans and field peas may be
picked in the pod, spread out in a
warm' dry place in the attic until
dried, and after being shelled the
beans should be placed in tight con
tainers and treated with carbon
disnlphkle to control weevils. ' -
Boot crops, such as carrots, beets
and turnips, should have the tops
cot of, leaving short leaf stems, be
fore storing. They may be stored in;
shallow crates and placed in the cel
lar. An occasional sprinkling with
water will prevent shriveling. Cab
bage and collards can best, be stored
in tranches out-of-doors. Another
method commonly need in Eastern
Carolina consists of pushing the
heads of the plants toward the North
and covering the stem and base of
the heads with soil The plants are
thus, left right in the row where they

$1*60 per hundred pounds for 4 per
cent milk with a premium on milk
of higher butterfat Right now, 2J500
farms arte supplying this milk plant
with about 80,000 pounds of milk a

good substitute for cash crops. -
QUESTION: Is barley a good
feed for hon? "> -- " ?
ANSWER: Yea. Pound for pound
it is not as efficient as corn but bar
ley does produce pork of excellent
quality. It does not pay to grind
oorn for -hogs but it does pay to
grind barley and the 'grinding in
creases its feed value by 17 percent.
If barief is substituted for com as
h^ feed^i Extension swine specialist
Ellis -Vestal, recommends that ISO
pounds of the whole barley replace
100 pounds of shelled corn. Because
of the usual droughts in summer, it
may be well to plant some jbarley
this faB fctf-hog feed next year.
