NATURAL STORAGE
OF GARDEN CROPS
Government Experts Tell
What to Do to Keep
Food For Winter.

tsnec,a1 Dispatch to West virginian)
WASHINGTON, D. G., July TO-
In order that householders may utilize
SPARE time during the summer to put
their cellars in shape for the winter
storage Of the surplus vegetables
which will be grown on the home gar
dens that have been planted this year.
or that they may make plans for other
methods Of natural storage, the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
has prepared the following discussion
on the storing Of vegetables;
To those persons fortunate enough
to possess land for the growing OF veg
etables sufficient in quantity for the
needs of the family, storage is an eco
nomic necessity. Likewise it is an
economic necessity to grow vegeta-
bles to store. A half acre garden should
produce far more vegetables than the
average family can consume during
the maturing period Of the crops. Only
a small portion of the garden should
be planted to those vegetables which
must be used as soon as they reach
maturity. The remainder should be
devoted to crops that are to be
canned, dried, or stored, 1t is COM
paratively easy to keep by storing
such vegetables s,potatoes, beets, car
rots, parsnips, satisfy, turnips, cab
bage, celery, onions, sweet potatoes,
dry beans and dry lima beans. Some
Of the crops may be stored in the cell

or in caves or outdoor cellars. Others

order to avoid steps down to the level
of the floor, with the consequent ex-
ira labor in storing and removing the
vegetables, side hill location is de-
sirable for the cellar. An excavation
is made into the hill Of the approx
mate size of the cellar. The dirt from
this excavation may be used for Gov
ering the roof and for banking against
the sides of the structure. A frame
should be erected by setting posts in
rows in the bottom Of the pit near
the dirt walls, saving these OF at a
uniform height, placing plates on top
Of the posts, and erecting rafters on
these plates. The whole should be
boarded up on the outside of the
posts, with the exception Of a space

structure, except the door, is covered
with dirt and sod. The thickness Of
the covering will be determined by
the location. The colder the climate,
the thicker the covering. The dirt Gov.
