Show TV. I BY Harold G. Lindsay, USU Extension 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 user which can be stored. Our office has had many inquiries as to how to store fruits and vegetables. In this article I will explain briefly some general points on storage. My first suggestion would be to store only good quality fruits and vegetables. The quality certainly wont 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. home use is an underground cellar, one that has a dirt floor, roof and adequate a water-tigventilation. This type of storage is good for root crops such as carrots, beets, winter radishes, turnips and rutabagas. These crops should not be stored until late fall. Most of these vegetables could stay in the ground for a month yet. They all require a cool damp storage area between 35 degree and 40 degree F. If the air in the storage is too dry, they will shrivel. If the tempertaure is too warm such as 45 degree F and above, the roots sprout new tops and become woody. Turnips and rutabagas give off odors and should not be stored in a home cellar or basement. ht Dig Potatoes Soon Potatoes should be dug before the weather becomes too cold, as the tubers freeze very easy. They should be dug and held at temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees for two weeks to allow them to heal any skinned areas and small cracks and thus exclude decay. Wounds will not heal below 50 degrees. After curing, potatoes should be stored in a moderately moist storage area with a temperature of 35 to 40 degrees. If potatoes are stored in temperatures below 35 degree, they will develop a sweet taste. Pumpkins and squash should be stored in a dry, area at 55 degrees F. Root cellars are not adequate storage for squash or pumpkins as they will rot.

It would be a means of im- proving collections and also increasing revenue, he explained. Water Drainage Problem A water drainage problem which has seen water gather in front of the post office, was discussed with Public Works Director Gary' Carter. The water has resulted from new office building construction nearby. Carter suggested that install-tio- n of a drain would alleviate the ponding problem.

Honey said he would present the information at the councils next meeting.

The length of time apples can be kept depends on the variety, the maturity and soundness at harvest, and the storage temperature. For long term storage, the temperature should be maintained as close to 32 degrees F. as possible. Apples ripen about four times as fast at 50 degrees as at 32 degrees and become over ripe at 70 degrees and above. Our problem in this area is storing apples is the warm days during October and November. Apples such as red delicious, will ripen and become over ripe unless we refrigerate them during the warm days. Some folks have used an extra refrigerator to store a couple of bushel 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 offices in Tremonton and Brigham City.
