They all require a cool, damp storage area between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If the air in the storage is too dry, they will shrivel.

Turnips and rutabagas give off odors and should not be stored in a home cellar or By Harold G. Lindsay USU Ext. Agent Box Elder County The frost during the early part of this week made us realize our growing season is over for the year. We must prepare to store those vegetables and fruits for winter use which can be stored. Our office has had many inquiries as to how to store fruits ;:jid vegetables.

If potatoes are stored in temperatures below 35 degrees, they will develop a sweet fruits and vegetables. The quality certainly won't be improved with storage. Produce that is wormy, diseased or bruised will not keep long. Remember, not all fruits and vegetables require the same storage conditions. The ideal storage facility for home use is an underground cellar, one that has a roof dirt floor, a water-tigand adequate ventilation. This type of storage is good for root crops such as carrots, beets, winter radishes, taste. Pumpkins ht area at 55 degrees F.

Onions with thick necks and those that have been injured will not keep and should be used immediately. Sound onions should be storconed in tainers such as mesh bags hung from overhead hooks. A dry, unheated basement is an excellent storage area for onions. The length of time apples can be kept depends on the variety, the maturity and soundness at harvest, and the storage temperature. For storage, the temperature should be if i ' j Yamaha and Kawasaki Snow Jet snowmobile lines maintained as close to 32 degrees as possible. Apples ripen about four times as fast at 50 degrees as at 32 degrees and become overripe unless we refrigerate them during the warm days. Some folks have used an extra refrigerator to store a couple of bushels of apples in. If a refrigerator is used, the apples should be stored as soon as possible after picking, at 32 to 35 degrees F. Some, more detailed, information on storage will be available at the USU Extension Office in Tremdnton and Brigham City.

These three figures total 62 million persons who are receiving all or most of their livelihood from tax revenues. There are only 78 million persons on private payrolls. Each of us are supporting almost one other with our taxes. SOCIALISM? YES! Today the federal government wants to do it all. Let's d wake up, America, we can do it for the cost on our own, and while we are doing it, we can also preserve our freedoms. I read in the paper last week, the UEA is pleading for federal funds; they want 30 percent federal funding of education in Utah. Socialized Education. Why? This is the one area where we ought to steer clear of federal controls. We accept their funding, we accept their controls, their planning and their curricula. WE will lose complete control of our educational programs and what our children will be taught. Must we have this? One more area of SOCIALISM that is the most powerful tool of the Communists is PROPERTY CONTROL. LAND USE. In the last two decades, 100 million people have been slaughtered because they wanted to own and control property could this happen to us??? Many good people fought a great battle two years ago to get the Utah Land Use Bill defeated. Surveys show that 73 percent of the people of Box Elder County were opposed to Land Use. Now read this, and read it carefully. SENATE BILL USE- - came up for a final vote. Our NO. present State Representative voted YES for LAND USE.

Utahns will enjoy an estimated total personal income of $6,650 million in 1976, an increase of $713 million or 12 percent above the 1975 total reported by the U. S. Department of Commerce. This forecast is based on data available through the first nine months of the year, plus an estimate for the last three months in total wages and salaries, net farm income and proprietor's and property income.
