methods which will protect them
from freezing, and remain in good
condition for many weeks. An I'M
heated garage, storage house or
shed will serve FOR a month or
more. depending on how low out
side temperatures fan.
A better method is a cold base
ment. or basement room, in which
the temperature can be kept down
to as near "a TO IS degrees as pos
sible, and ventilation provided. In
such a room. the vegetables should
be stored on shelves, racks, Stat
/ bins or solid boxes, raised off the
floor. A concrete floor should be
sprinkled every few days. and an
earth floor kept somewhat damp.
Pumpkins. squash and sweet po-
1 tatoes should be stored in a tenn
perature between SIS and SIS de-
grees. which is often found in a
heated basement. The crops requir-
ing lower temperatures may be
kept in heated basement for some
time If they are packed in boxes
with wet sand about them.
Where basement storage is not
practical, an outdoor storage pit
may be easily constructed. Such
pits, or root cellars as they were
called, are often found on old
farms. Where there is room. they
may be constructed at small ex-
pense by digging pit as large as
desired. and deep enough to stand
in. Lay heavy boards over the pit,
even with the surface, and cover
the boards with a mound of earth
A ditch should be dug around the
mound TO lead surface water away
from the pit entrance, which is
provided with a ladder or steps. A
door should be fitted to the 60
trance, preferably two doors with
an air-space between them, to keep
out the frost. In such pit the
fruits and vegetables may be
stored in boxes, bins or on shelves.
Where the quantity to be stored
does not warrant a large pit. va
rious adaptations OF the idea may
be used, as shown in the illustra-
ton. Vegetables may be laid in a
box. which is lined and covered
with straw. set in a small pit and
covered with earth. Vegetables
must be removed at intervals dur
ing the winter by removing the
soil.
Instead of a box. a barrel may
be used, or a conical mound may
be made to cover vegetables piled
up in a pyramid, as illustrated.
Vegetables stored should be in
good condition, not too old or too
immature; and tender vegetables
which have been exposed to frost
should never be stored. Avoid
vegetables with bruises or skin
punctures, as decay will start
from these, and never store vege-
tables which are wet. Even the
hardest vegetables should not be
stored if they have been frozen.
Do not close outdoor root cellars
tightly until the temperature in
side has dropped close TO freezing,
and do not cover vegetables in
earth pits until the soil has cooled
off thoroughly.

Sees Initiation
In Real Estate
Anticipates Sharp
Rise in Volues

Forces resulting from the var
program more powerful than those
which ordinarily determine real
estate values are set forth In the
juSf-published issue Of the Review
Of the Society Of Residential APP
praisers. Author Of the article IL
William MacRossie, New York
CITY appraiser. who concludes that
in general. initiation in real estate
values must be anticipated.
The necessary diversion OF indus
try. labor and capital from civilian
TO military uses. the initiation now
under way generally in the econ
omv, and the unhkelihood that
price or rent control viii be estab-
lished with respect TO undeveloped
land or vacant lots in subdivisions.
are the three major influences
toward rising prices. On the oppo-
site side Of the scales are the ex-
peeted rise in interest rates which
viii tend to restrain price rises.
and the heavier taxation in store
for the middle and upper income
brackets which will decrease the
demand for high-priced housing.
DEMAND GREAT
appraisers viii sense forces Of
buoyancy for old and new homes in
defense areas, until at least the
defense housing projects become
realized" he writes. In other
areas the supply of all types Of
houses will not respond to any in
crease an demand, which will lead
to an upward trend of values for
new and old houses alike.
Beyond all doubt the factor that
will bulk largest in housing values
during the defense and war effort
is the initiation which is under way
and which promises TO grow apace,
despite the increased controls,
some in operation. some about to
be imposed. some threatened, some
only wishfully under discussion"
MONEY To TIGHTEN
With regard to interest rates he
sees the market for money tight
ening on account of the flotations
of government securities. the larg-
er credit requirements to handle
/ the same volume Of nhvsical trade
and production at the higher price
levels.
"One major factor causing easy
money has been completely stopped
presumably for the duration. name
ly the gold imports" he writes.
The rising rate will tend to de-
press values, or at least restrain
their rise"

To Raise En-

Had IL not been for Victory gar
dens this year the country might
now being facing serious shortages
Of perishable foods: and the out
look for 1913 is such that every
family in the nation which has a
suitable piece of land should plant
Victory garden in 1913.
These are conclusions embodied
in recommendation to the depart
ment of agriculture by the nation
al garden advisory committee. of
which Gov. Prentice Cooper of
Tennessee is chairman. A state
ment issued by Gov. Cooper says
that the recommendation were
made after serious study and in
collaboration with officials of the
department of agriculture"
SEE SERIOUS NEED
1T is the earnest belief of the
committee that the importance OF
home food supply cannot be
over-emphasized." Gov. Cooper's
statement says. Beginning with
last January when many farmers
were still concerned about sur
| pluses, we have seen one shortage
after another develop; first it was
sugar. then coffee, tea, cocoa, fats
and now meats. So far there have
been ample supplies of fresh fruit.
and vegetables in most markets
but prices have risen and no one
can accurately predict what vii
be the situation next winter.
1T is therefore the wise national
course to expand the Victory Gar.
den program in 1e43 to include
every family in the nation which
has a piece of land suitable fol
this purpose. Naturally this doe:
not mean that people should be.

clearly demonstrated that there is
