Preventing Fat Mold When Storing in Cold Rooms
Mrs M C R asks how to stop mold on stored fat. Answer: mold comes with moisture in fat or container. Cook fat until all moisture is gone, then store in a dry container. In a dry automatic refrigerator keep fat uncovered only if both fat and container are moisture free. In an ice refrigerator the air may not be dry, so uncovered storage may not help. Egg feed ratio is less favorable this year.

L. C. Grove, extension horticulturist at Jawa State College, warns that removing green foliage from peonies and iris weakens plants and reduces blooms next year. Leave leaves to store food, cut seed pods from peonies and flower stalks from iris, and transplant iris in August by breaking crowded clumps into smaller ones.
