Ask the Old Farmer: 1 have an old china
cabinet that came out of a damp base
ment. It has a musty odor when the
drawers and doors are opened. Can you
tell me how to get rid of this odor? M.S.,

Make a solution of one cup of chlorine bleach
and one gallon of water. Wash the inside of
the drawers and the cabinet. Wear rubber
gloves and do not get any of the solution on
