Vegetable* Can Be
Stored For Winter
There is no reason (or discarding
surplus vegetables, or for dumping
them on tire depressed market, says
H R Netswonger. horticulturist of
the N C. State College Extension
Service Bu; on the other hand,
there is no use to store vegetables
that are not high quality, free from
mechanical injures, insects and dis
eases. and nurture but not over-ripe
"ff you put an inferior, diseased,
damaged product In storage it ?.ill
come ou'. an inferior, diseased, dam
aged product, in worse condition than
when it went in." Neiswonger de
clared.
The problem of where to store
vegetables is important, and the
State College specialist makes the
following reccommendations along
this line- Beans and field peas msry
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 dis
ulphide to control weevils.
Root crops, sue'.-, its carrots, beets
nnd turnips, sliouid have th? tops I
cut off, leaving short leaf stems, be
fore storing. They may be stored in
shallow crates and placed in the cel
lar. An occasional sprinkling of
v iter will prevent shriveling. Cab
bage and collards can best be stored
in trenches out-of-doors. Another
method 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 grew.
>ct potatoes keep best in a dry
p'ire. and where the temperature
throughout the storage period is
around 55 to 60 degrees. Onions
should be kept in slatted crates in
the attic where the atmosphere is
dry and the temperature Is around
50 degrees. A basement or cellar Is
r.ot a good place to store onions
Pumpkins and squashes should also
be stored in ar warm dry room at a
temperature of 50 degrees.
