OUTDOOR PITS ARE
GOOD FOR STORAGE
Vegetables for Winter May
Be Kept for Months.

BY e. H. Nissley. Professor Of veget "a
Agriculture WNU Service.
A possible answer to the problem
of getting better prices for vegeta.
bles at this season may lie in the uti-
lization of outdoor storage pits on
more farms.
Many growers who are not
equipped with storage facilities haul
their surplus crops to market and
this often lowers prices. An outdoor
pit makes it possible to store vege-
tables successfully for months.
Crops which may be stored for
winter use or sale include beets,
turnips, winter radishes, carrots.
rutabagas, parsnips, satisfy, horse
radish, cabbage and winter apples.
The outdoor pit is inexpensive to
make, A well-drained location is
important because excess water
must be drained away from the
storage pit during heavy rains. The
pit may be from one to two feet
deep, about four to six feet wide
and as long as necessary to accom-
modate the crops to be stored The
inside of the pit is lined with from
four to six inches of straw or hay, or
other insulating material. Never
use corn fodder because it draws
mice and rats.
In preparing the crops to be
stored in the pit, select only we'll
matured and disease-free vegeta
bles Carrots, beets, winter rad
ishes, turnips and parsnips are
pulled and sorted and the tops are
either twisted or cut off. leaving
an inch or more of the stems at
tached. This is important, for if
the roots are trimmed too closely
they have tendency to bleed
excessively and shrivel. Cabbage
is pulled with the roots attached.
and placed in the pit with the stem
end up so that any water coming
through will not enter the head.
After the crops have been care.
fully placed in the pit, cover them
with layer of from four to six
inches of hay or straw. and just
enough soil to keep the covering
from blowing away. A means of
ventilation must always be provid
ed. This is usually made either
from bundle of straw six inches
in diameter, or from old stove pipe
or terra-cotta pipe. This will allow
warm air and excess moisture given
off by the stored roots to pass out OF
the pit and permit the cold air to
enter. AS the weather becomes
colder, additional layers of straw
or hay and soil are necessary to
keep the roots in the pit from
freezing.
Pumpkins, squash and sweet po.
tatoes require a warm, dry place
and location near the furnace is
preferable.

Potatoes for Poultry Feed

Potatoes for Poultry Feed
When potatoes which are unmar-
ketable are available, they can be
used for poultry feeding, either for
fattening poultry or for egg produc-
ton. They must be cooked before
feeding, and serve simply as par
tial substitute for grain. For the
finish feeding or fattening, mashed,
cooked potatoes can be mixed with
the dry mash about half and half by
weight or volume, and sufficient liq-
uid skimmilk or buttermilk added
to make batter.

Tvo4ite Recipe
OF the Week

Succotash is excellent to use in

|kNTI-LYNCHING ' BILL SUPPORTED
U. s. Senator LOnergan Declares Self in Favor
 of Measure
Especial to The Democrat)

kBpeCh8k UD 1nG OEmUCrAtI
 Washington, D. c. - Declaring that mob violence and lynching should not be tolerated in the Unit ed States, Senator Lonergan (d) Conn, today expressed himself in favor of early action on anti-lynch- ing measures now pending in Con- gross.
 He referred particularly to S.1709 introduced by Senators Wagner of New York, and Van Nuys of Indiana which he favors.
 "Anti-lynching measures of this kind" he said, "have been intro- duced in Congress for many years. Tn the Sixty-Seventh Congress a bill having similar purposes to S.1709 was passed by the House of Representatives, but was not ale lowed to reach a vote in the Sen- ate. At that time a question of constitutionality of the legislation was raised, but subsequently, all doubts in this respect were dispell- ed by eminent legal authorities"
 The senator said that in his opin- ion a law prohibiting 1ynching and mob violence would be an aid to the several states in assuring their citi- zens the equal protection of the laws, both state and federal, to which all citizens are entitled.
