Giant strain.

WINTER STORAGE OF Root crops such as beet, carrot, 
parsnip, potatoes, rutabagas, sal- 
ROOT VEGETABLES sify and turnip may be stored for 
winter use in either a root cellar, dark basement or in outdoor 
pits. In any case, the storage should be well drained and venti- 
lated. Tops should always be removed, When storing in root 
cellar put in alternate layers of roots and sand; this will prevent 
shriveling. Storing in pits may be accomplished by making a shal- 
low excavation 3 or 4 feet wide and 6 inches deep. Put a good 
layer of straw in this trench and over the sides. Pile the vege- 
tables in a conical pile, the length depending upon the amount to 
be stored. Next cover the vegetables with one or two feet of straw 
and as the weather gets colder cover with sufficient soil to prevent 
freezing. Some ventilation is necessary and can be secured by 
leaving a slight space at the top with the straw exposed, or by 
inserting a drain tile or wooden ventilator. Ventilator should be 
provided with a cap to keep out the rain and with a screen to 
exclude rodents.
