Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 279, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 November 1910 — Storage Cellar. [ARTICLE]

Storage Cellar.

The cellar or other similar room in which vegetables and fruits, either green or canned, are stored for winter should have the windows open on mild days for ventilation and for lowering the temperature of the room for chilling the store. The cooler they are held, without freezing, the better they will keep. Bacteria which cause fermentation and decay cannot grow and multiply in low temperature. Dry cold will always hold them in check.
