Vegetables Keep Well in Shallow Outdoor Pits

In shallow outdoor pits, root vege-1 tables can be piled in conical heaps. I insulated against freezing, by heavy i layers ot straw or excelsior and, covered with earth which will keep them sufficiently moist to prevent ( drying and shrinking. The only expense involved is the, labor and the insulating material.l yet this method keeps the vego-i tables better, as a rule, than expc:.-; sive storage rooms. It involves inconvenience, in Uiat the pit must be opened up in order to get at the vegetables inside it, and all must be removed together. But by makIng each pit small, and mixing the | Vegetables stored In it, a supply sufficient for one or two weeks can be dug up at a time. They can be stored in the garage for the period necessary to use them. The illustration shows the method of preparing such a pit. The size should depend upon the amount to be stored in it, preferably not more than a two weeks' supply of mixed vegetables. Select a space from which water drains quickly and make an excavation between six Inches and a foot deep. Line this with a foot of straw or excelsior, and pile the vegetables upon this in a mound two feet high. Then Cover the vegetables with a foot of Straw, excels’or or dead leaves, and throw over this at least six inches at soiL Then another foot of straw I or leaves and enough soil to hold ft down. The insulating material should emerge from the soil at the top. as < shown by the illustrations; this will allow some ventilation. A shallow ditch dug around the mound will carry off surface water. When the temperatures grow colder it may be desirable to throw more dir: over the mound. Democrats believe that It would lih worth another try during the possible special session to act on the servicemen's vote. The Democrats want the polling hours extended In order to accomodate war workers- most of whom are counted ar Democrats. The workers are allowed as much as 1 four hours off to go to the polls, j but it's believed that they would ; rather give up their vole th-M the wages Involved AUDITOR SPEAKS ON (Coattausd From rags 1) announcement has ever been made.

Betz, vice president, in charge of the company's operations in this area. To further tbm program federal food agencies have designated potatoes the "Victory Food Selection" during this period. Betz said potato growers will produce a history-making crop of 469.545.000 bushel* this year, #8 million more than laet year, and 41 million bu-hels more thaa in any previous year. The food chain executive pointed out that the following procedure is recommended for successful home storage: “Potatoes keep beat between 34 and 55 degree*. If the storage room 1. not rather dark, the potatoes should be covered with paper or bags. Most varieties store satisfactorily until mid-winter They should be free from dirt, bruise-, blight rot and dry rot. and be mature." o I Modern Etiquette t [ By ROBERTA LEE Q.
