Many vegetables can be kept for 
use during winter by proper 
storage. It is often cheaper and 
easier to store than to can them 
and , with some varieties , the stored 
quality is better than that of the 
canned product. Successful storage 
depends upon (1) selecting vegeta¬ 
bles of good quality; (2) picking 
them at the proper stage of maturity; 
(3) having the proper temperature 
and the right degree of humidity 
in the storeroom. 
The desirable stage of maturity 
varies with the crop. Cabbage , 
onions , squashes and pumpkins 
will not keep well unless fully 
matured. Beets, carrots , parsnips, 
turnips and salsify should not be 
allowed to become fully matured , 
as they are likely to become woody. 
Best storage conditions can be 
summarized thus: cool and moist — 
beets , carrots , salsify , turnips , 
winter radishes and celery; cool and 
moderately moist — cabbage and 
potatoes; cool and dry—onions and 
dry beans; warm and dry — 
squashes , pumpkins and sweet 
potatoes. 
All these except dry beans , 
onions , squashes , pumpkins and 
sweet potatoes may be kept in the 
same storage room if the cabbages 
are on shelves and the potatoes 
are in slatted crates or bins. The 
best temperature for most vegetable 
crops is just above freezing , i.e. 
32° F. If potatoes are included , 
the temperature should not go 
below 34°. A basement without a 
furnace is ideal. If the house has 
a concrete basement with a furnace , 
then a room protected from the 
furnace heat is necessary. 
Temperature can be maintained 
in a storage cellar by opening and 
closing windows. A dirt floor is 
best and , if humidity is low , water 
can be sprinkled on the floor. 
Root crops can be stored in boxes 
of sand or soil in the basement and 
kept just moist. 
Small quantities of vegetables can 
be stored outdoors. A handy way 
is to sink a box or barrel about 
half its depth in the ground. Put 
the vegetables in and put on top 
of them a mattress cover made of 
burlap bags stuffed with straw. 
Cover over with a 6-inch layer of 
clean straw or leaves and then 
cover this with dirt to hold in place.
