STORE VEGETABLES NOW.

It is remarkable how few American fam
slies have stored vegetables for their own
use in late years. Old root cellars and
storage pins have almost reached the
museum stage Yet no one denies that
home storage Of vegetables is a great
saver Of time, labor. money and shipping
space. m
Now is the time to start the home stor-
age idea going in your community. 1t Ia
time to get the people so convinced that
they must storc their own vegetables that
they will feel Ike pro-Gcrmans IL they
do not.
All root vegetables, cabbage and many
others which arc not rapidly perishabie
should be stored by every family that has
facilities 10 do so II they have their Own
gardens 1t is much cheaper to buy and
store homegrown vegetables from neigh
bors than to wait until winter and buy
them from tho store.
Go to the wiseacres In your community
who know the best way of home storing
or ask advice OF the agricultural extern
sion service Of the Food Administration ir
your State. Talk about vegetables stor-
age In your. club meetings. at ladies' aides
church suppers or over the back fence
Get every ono interested. A little talkinl
will do 1t. ~
