SEPTEMBER REMINDS us that fall
is just about here, and that we should
be making plans for harvesting and
storing our garden vegetables. While
many vegetables are canned and frozen,
others lend themselves best to common
storage. Unfortunately, the storage re-
quirements for different vegetables
vary, so one must understand the needs
of different crops in order to provide
the best conditions for each crop.
The facilities for storage in the mod
ern home are not always ideal. How
ever, the construction of storage room
in the basement is not a difficult task.
Since the Easements of most modern
houses are warm and dry, separate
room is usually needed. The room
should be built with access to a base
ment window The walls separating this
storage room should be we'll insulated
from the rest of the basement. Ventila-
ton may be secured by the opening of
the window.
Storage Cellars
Outdoor storage cellars are not as
popular as they once used to be. They
do provide ideal places for the storage
of root vegetables. Most frequently seen
today are potato storage houses built
principally by commercial potato grow
ers. These provide excellent facilities
for storing root crops. Other methods
of storage are sometimes used such as
pit storage.
Principal needs for most vegetable
crops are a damp atmosphere, tenn
peratures just above freezing, and pro-
vision for ventilation. There are some
exceptions and these vegetables will be
discussed later.
There are certain things that must
be watched in order to make storage
successful. One important thing is to
keep the storage place as sanitary as
possible. If decay ocurs in any of the
stored products, the decaying material
should be removed from storage as
soon as possible. Removal of dirt and
debris, and thorough scrubbing of the
storage once a year will help keeI
down decay.
The products being stored must BIZ
sound and free of bruises, cuts ant
other defects. This means handlin,
the vegetables with utmost care at har
vest time and when placing the prod
ucts in storage. In some cases. sucl
as with onions, the product must b.
well matured, or it will break down il
storage. In other cases, holding tn
product in well ventilated place, an
in warm, dry storage for several day
will help set the skin and prepare tn
vegetable to withstand storage withou
breaking down and decaying.
Waxing has been used, chiefly to pr,
vent Shrinkage, on such crops as CT
cumbers, rutabagas and carrots. I'll
vegetables simply are dipped in melte
paraffin or in waterway mixtur,
One must be cautious and not allow Il
paraffin to become too hot. Waxing
particularly important where the veg
table must be placed in a rather dl
storage. One must remember, hoy
ever, that if waxed vegetables are Ike
at too high storage temperature, the
products will spoil even more rapid
than unwaxed ones. Another method
preventing shrivelling in storage is pla

Vegetables placed in storage can fit
into three groups according to their
needs:
1. Those requiring cool, moist stor-
age: carrots, parsnips and other root
crops, celery, cabbage and potatoes.
2. Those requiring cool, but dry stor-
age: onions, and dried beans and peas.
8. Those requiring fairly cool, and
moderately dry storage: pumpkins and
squash.
Root crops such as carrots, parsnips, |
beets and potatoes store best at storage
temperature about 35 to 40 degrees F.
Storage temperatures up to so degrees
F. are satisfactory. A high relative hui
Nudity is needed (85 per cent or better)
to prevent excessive shrivelling.
Potatoes keep best at lower storage
temperatures (35 to 40 degrees F0.
However, the flavor and quality is bet
ter for potatoes stored at warmer tenn
peratures $50 degrees F); but there

sprouting if they are kept too long at
warmer storage temperatures. The
ideal Set-up would be to store the po-
tatoes at lower temperatures and bring
them into a warmer place a couple of
weeks or more before they are used.
The lower storage temperatures are
recommended for keeping seed po-
tatoes, but they should be warmed for
a month or so just before planting in
order to break dormancy and induce
Sprout formation.
Onions must be mature if they are to
store well. Immature onions break
down rapidly in storage. Immature
onions are recognized by their thick,
green necks. The stem of a mature
onion will have dried down to the base
of the bulb. Because of the short grow
ing season in Montana, it is important
that gardeners use early maturing on
ion varieties, or use onion transplantS,
if they expect to grow onion bulbs that
will mature sufficiently for storage
Sort over the onions carefully to re-
move any that appear to be immature
and to remove those that are bruised
or injured. A cool, but dry place suits
the storage of onions best.
Pumpkin and Squash
Important to the success of storing
pumpkins and winter squash is to see
that the rind or skin has properly hard.
ened Mature fruits will have hardened
skins, but immature ones will have
) soft skins. Those specimens which are
, immature may be cured by placing
t them in room at 80 to IS degrees F
for couple of weeks. This will aid il
: hardening the skin, and help heal an!

who knocked out Hurricane Tom

ingS. Cockell and Valdes look like
the next two opponents for Rocky
with both fighting to be first.
That leaves Baker on the out
side looking in, although he holds
a decision over Valdes, scored at
Huntington, W. Va, May 81, 1858
the Cuban'S last defeat.
After many dlsappointments
since he whipped Wallace in the
1949 Golden Gloves Baker finally
has buckled down to work. Since
he was stopped by Archie Moore
in March, he has run up a five
fight winning streak against Joe
Baksi, Embrel Davidson, Toxic
Hall, Wallace and Jimmy Slade He
has a 1851 pro record.
Wallace, best known for his
movie job in "The Joe Louis
Story" has a good 2O-4 record.
His main trouble has been habit
of laying off six months between
fights.
The match will be carried on
NBC radio and television.

Sweden In
Davis CupPlay
BY WILL CRIMSLEY

BRISBANE, Australia Up 49, Vic
Seixas and Tony Trabert sent the
United States into the Davis Cup
Challenge Round again today with
a smoothly contrived 6-3, GA, 6-3
doubles victory over Sweden S
Lennart Bergelin and Sven David
son.
The triumph made the Yanks'
margin in the best-of-five event 30
and makes tomorrow'S two final
singles matches mere formalities.
In fact, nonplaying captain Billy
Talbert said he would rest Seixas
and send national intercollegiate
champion Hamilton Richardson of
Tulane into the fray against David
son. Trabert will play Bergelin.
Until someone comes along 10
prove otherwise, Seixas and Ira
bert must be regarded as the best
tandem in amateur tennis. They
certainly looked the part in whip
ping Bergelin and Davidson,
pair of Swedes who had been at
the top of their games.
Some experts Down Under pre-
dicted that Sweden, in fact, might
gain the Challenge Round. But Tai
bert said his boys would win the
Interzone by so. Now he looks to
be right.
There was some doubt as to Ira
bert before the event got under
way. Tony admittedly was off
form, but from the impression he
gave in both his singles victory
and today's doubles, he could have
been playing possum. He wSs
tremendous. So was SeixaS, and
between them they gave the be-
fuddled SwedeS little to hit.
Thre was only one service
break in each of the first two sets
and two in the final set. But the
second break in the third set came
about in the final game after the
Swedes had given up. Actually,
they played quite well against
markedly superior tandem.
In the final analysis, it was the
Americans ability to come back
when they were behind that won
it for them.

Niagara University'S Purple Ea-

lege basketball circes, headed into
the Midwest today for a Saturday
night date with Toledo, but it won't
be until after Christmas that a
definite line can be drawn on
Coach Taps Gallagher's fine club.

Center Ed Fleming again was
Niagara's big man last night with
26 points. He played less than half
the game as the Eagles rolled up
q 54,31 halftime lead.
There was little action on the
college courts last night. At the

they will be tough. They upset St.
Johns of Brooklyn 77-69. Temple,
with 81 record, has only a 7O-65
