There are three things necessary
for the successful storing % cabnages.
d) Carefully grown and carefully
handled heads Of a sort well adapted
for storing; t2) storage warehouses 20
constructed and arranged as to pre-
vent drip from the ceiling or root
striking the stored heads; and tSl
such an arrangement and control OF
the ventilation and temperature Of
the building as to prevent the con-
densation OF moisture on the cabbage
while in storage.
Cabbage 10 be stored in commercial
storage houses should be very care
( fully cut and closely trimmed SO that
no loose leaves get into the storage
house. In hauling cabbage from the
field to the storchouse. spring wagons
should be used and the heads should
be passed from hane 20 hand and
never thrown into the wagon body.
The same care should be observed IN
placing the heads in storage.
