Show STARTLING EXPERIMENT Spray Keeps Vegetables Fresh a Year Results of experiments with a new spray meleic hydrazide which keeps potatoes, onions and several other vegetables fresh for a year or more, was reported by The Country Gentleman. The spray arrests growth. Growth is so slow after spraying that the vegetables fail even to die at the rapid rale normal during storage. Every living process seems slowed i down. Flavor and firmness are retained re-tained for a long time, apparently for about a year. Scientists reported experiments were so successful they "could hardly hard-ly believe them possible." Crops are sprayed before gathering. The spray does not affect the yield. It has been used successfully on potatoes, onions, on-ions, carrots, beets, parsnips and turnips. |
