Storage tips for harvested crops from Iowa State experts
Iowa State University extension horticulturist Ben Vance advises careful handling of potatoes to avoid bruising and greening, with curing in a dark building for four to five days. Store potatoes at 38 to 40 degrees. Carrots store well in plastic bags or layered with sand, while apples may cause bitterness due to ethylene. Parsnips can be stored in ground or in boxes with straw or leaves to prevent freezing.

Bremer County extension notes Iowa State University economist Futrell expects the U.S. GNP to total 620 to 625 billion in 1964, about 6 percent above 1963, with continued expansion in 1965. Higher incomes and tax cuts should boost consumer spending while government outlays stay high. Plant and equipment investment may rise 10 percent in 1964 and inventories remain lean. The outlook appears positive for grains, cattle, hogs, dairy and poultry, with farm management and marketing guidance included.
