STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKER By VERNA 8TANTON Assistant 8Ute Agent Root vegetables will be fresher Mp.d have more nutritive value if their leaves or tops are trimmed oil before they are stored in home refrigerators or vegetable bins, giant scientists of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture remind house wives. Although bunches of carrots, turnips, beets, parsnips, and rad ishes may look more attractive in grocery stores with their leafy ?ops attached, those tops should be ?ut off as soon as possible because they dra\v~moisture "'ant!" nutricnts from the vegetable* The tops take up valuable space in storage con tainers. The plant scientist* ex plain that while the vegetable is growing in the. ground, the leaves manufacture sugar, starch, protein and other nutrients and pase them down to the roots for storage. However, once the vegetable is harvested and the roots are out of the ground, the situation is re t^rsed and the leaves draw on the ?joisture and nourishment of the roots to keep alive. These vegetables, especially if ^oung and tender, keep better in Ihe vegetable compartment of the refrigerator than in an open vege table bin in the kitchen, because the warm air of the kitchen soon dries and wilts the vegetables.
