May Still Whitewash Fruit Storage Rooms
Iowa State College specialists say there is time to whitewash fruit and vegetable storage rooms though some crop may still be stored. They advise mixing 2 pounds cement per 10 quarts of whitewash, stirring in just before use, and adding a heaping teaspoon of ultramarine blue. The cement aids setting and blue counteracts browning. Apply a thin coat and do not let mixed cemented whitewash stand overnight.
