TOMATO COST
RECORD TAKEN
Twenty-Five Farmers Cooper.

Results Noted
PLAN DEMONSTRATION

With the completion of the 1941
tomato canning season arrange
ments are being made by Kent
County Agent Russell E. Wilson to
obtain records from the tomato
cost of production and potash fer
tilization demonstrations which
were conducted on twenty-five
farms this year in cooperation with
Libby, McNeill and Libby and the
American Potash Institute. This
project has been carried on in Kent
county for the past four years, and
these demonstration plots have re-
vealed some very interesting data
in regard to the cost of growing
tomatoes for commercial canning
purposes, and the value of muriate
of potash for increasing the yield
and quality of tomatoes. In de-
termining the cost of producing
this crop all items including prep
aration of the ground, cost of
plants and fertilizer, and all labor
involved in the growing and har-
vesting operations are taken into
consideration. In connection with
the fertilization phase of this pro-
ject each cooperating farmer ap-

URGE STORAGE
OF VEGETABLES
Storage inexpensive Way to
Hold Fresh Vegetables
Through Winter
SEVERAL METHODS

Since food prices are advancing
at a rapid pace, Miss Louise R.
Whitcomb, home management
specialist for the University of
Delaware, is suggesting that farm
families store vegetables for win
ter use. Storage is the least ex-
pensive method of holding certain
vegetables that will keep fresh.
While discussing home vegetable
storage with w. H. Phillips of the
University's horticulture depart
ment, Miss Whitcomb was advised
that successful storage requires
good, healthy vegetables to start
with. Phillips also pointed out
that different vegetable crops have
different storage requirements.
Beets, carrots, winter radishes, win
ter apples, cabbage, white potatoes
and turnips keep best in cool,
moist atmosphere. One way to
provide this condition is to select
well-drained piece of ground and
dig pit a foot or so deep, from
four to six feet wide and any leng-
tn desired. Line the pit with
about six inches of straw and pile
the vegetables carefully on the
straw. Then about six inches
more straw is matted over the veg
etables and covered with enough
soil to prevent freezing. On low
ground, a mound storage can be
constructed by placing six to eight
inches of straw on the ground, pill
ing the vegetables on the straw,
covering them with an equal
amount of straw and then about
eight inches of soil. Another way
to store vegetables is to place
wooden barrel on it's side and cover
it with about four inches of soil.
Soil is banked around the sides so
the covered barrel looks like a
mound of earth. Over the soil,
place six inches of leaves or straw
and over this four more inches OF
earth. More leaves may be placed
on top if desired. The vegetables
are put in the barrel, the lid laid
in place and earth and leaves are
piled against the lid. Sand boxes
in the cellar can be used for beets,
carrots and turnips. The sand is
moistened from time to time.
Sweet potatoes and pumpkins keep
best in a warm, dry place, such as
basement heated by furnace or
near the farmstead kitchen range.
Onions usually retain quality when
kept in attics since they require
cool, dry storage conditions.
