But on the other hand, there is no use to store vegetables that, are not of high quality, free from mechnical injuries, insects and and diseases, and mature but not over-ripe. "If you put an inferior, diseased, damaged product in storage it will come out an inferior, diseased damaged product, in worse condi tion than when it went in," Nis wonger declared. The problem of. where to store vegetables is important, and the State qollege 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 containers and treated with carbon disulphide to control weev ils.
