OAsk the Old Farmer: I'd like to dry some of the beans from my garden
this year, but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. Can you advise
me? AW, Pa.
Good for you! Drying your own beans is so simple, we often wonder why
ATUfM more people don't do it Shell the beans and spread them out in a warm airy
,sp tcifl place to dry When they're completely dried, heat them in a 250° F oven for
an hour to Kill any bacteria Store them tightly covered in clean jars
v ** Home Hinti: When picking your own strawberries, leave the stem on and the
bemes will keep a little longer

IfOQl a Cr©l, „ - COOLING PAD SYSTEM
Kool-Cel Pads
Kocl Cel pads are cellulose cooling cells 4" and 6“ deep, 12” wide and available In 12**
increments from 24" to 77 tall with two pieces of 4“ combined to make 64" and 96" tall
pads The cooling cells are made from a specially formulated cellulose paper impregnat
ed with insoluble antirot salts It is designed with an exclusive cross-fluted configuration
which induces highly turbulent mixing Inside the pad between the water and the air, and
contributes to the evaporative efficiency The cross-fluted design makes Kool-Cel a
strong self supporting pad with high evaporative efficiency and low pressure drop (resis
tance to air flow).
A face velocity of 250 feet per minute for 4" an 400 feet per minute tor 6" is recom
mended for the most economical cost and operation of the Kooi-Cel system.
