Storage Of Apples

Categories: Fruit Growing

We desire to store two or three thousand boxes of apples for three or

four months and propose to do it in this way: Make an excavation in dry

earth, putting at the bottom of the excavation straw. Upon this straw

place the apples, then dry straw over the apples, and upon the top of

this two or three feet of dry earth. Will it be a good plan to pour on

water from time to time over the top of this to keep the apples and all

wet, or should the apples be kept dry?
