Storage Solves Problem
of Surplus for Gardeners

Each year the average gardener
has a surplus problem. His garden
normally produces more vegetables
during the summer than he and his
family can consume.
This surplus-of little value in the
summer-can be used during the
winter In preparing a variety of
tasty and wholesome dishes IL the
extra vegetables are properly stored
In cellars, attics, or other suitable
places. Storing of vegetables also
lightens the annual canning work.
Beets, late cabbage, carrots, eel
cry. onions. parsnips, potatoes, sweet
potatoes, satisfy, pumpkins, squash,
and turnips may be stored in their
natural condition. Beans of various
kinds, including the limas, may be
dried and stored.
A half-acre garden, according to
horticulturists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture, will, If
properly cared for, produce enough
vegetables for year-around use by
the average family.
Cellars containing a furnace usu-
ally are too warm and dry for stor-
ing root crops. but room may be
partitioned off in one corner or end
Of the cellar and temperature con-
trolled by means of outside windows.
Outdoor cellars may be built at a
low cost.

Indeed this fierce impulse to lead for
