When vegetables in storage}
fail to keep well, we are nat-
urally interested to know the
reason, so that next year the
trouble can be avoided. The

mind is that the storage con- |
ditions are not satisfactory. |
|They may be too warm, too |

jhave sufficient air circulation.
One basic fact which may
Jescape attention is, that some
jvarieties are good keepers
while others are not. To try
to store a poor keeping vari-
ety one must have all the
other factors at close to their
