Proper storage space is all that is necessary. Root crops, such as beets, carrots, turnips, rutabagas, .salsify, parsnips and winter radishes, also late varieties of cabbage and potatoes, may be stored in tha basement. _ In a house heated with a furnace, a satisfactory storage room can be built by partitioning off a section of the basement, preferably in a cor* ner where a casement window can T>e used for ventilation and control of storage temperature. Both outside and inside walls, as well as Ceiling and door, should be covered with insulation board, and a fill-type or blanket insulation should be put on the ceiling to prevent heat penetration. For the floor, use tnoist sand covered with a slatted framework. Ventilation can be provided in the -Storage room by removing a window Sash panel and inserting a cold air flue with outlet near the floor. This " flue should have a damper that will permit easy control of tha venilation and temperature. It is also well to provide an outlet for warm air by replacing another pane in the window with a small door. These openings should be screened to keep out flies and rodents. Darken the tremaining portions of tha window, as light wiU damage the vegetables. The West McHeritf State Bank was organized nearly 40 years ago in the year 1906.
