HOME STORAGE WILL
HELP FOOD SUPPLIES

Proper storage of garden produce
will help conserve food supplies
during the winter months, reports
Eugene P. Brasher, extension hor-
ticulturist for the University of
Delaware. October is a good time
to make plans for garden storage,
and right now, world food short
ages make is especially important
to save as much homegrown food
as possible.
According to Brasher, the pit or
mound is the simplest type of con-
struction and keeps root vegetables
carrots, beets, turnips, parsnips-
very we'll. Vegetables are placed on
three to four inches of straw in a
level, well-drained place and are
covered with an additional three to
four inches of straw and enough
soil to maintain a constant tenn
perature.
For most home gardeners, the
basement is probably the most log
ical storage place, Brasher adds
Keep the storeroom separate from
the rest of the basement, with a
window to provide fresh air. A
space eight by ten feet will provide
storage space for the average fam
lily.
Carrots, potatoes, turnips and
pears can be kept in basement stor-
age. Sweet potatoes, squash ana
] pumpkins may be stored in the fur
mace room if only one room is avail
able. Cabbage should not be stored
indoors, because its odor will per-
meate the entire house.
