Expert Tells Benefits
of Home Canning Plant

Pullman That a saving of nearly
800 per cent can be made in the home
canning Of fruits and vegetables is the
opinion of o. H. Benson, Of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
who recently gave canning demonstra-
tions and practical instruction in
methods of correlation, supervision,
etc., before the conference of county
agricultural agents. Mr.. Benson had
compiled statistics which showed that
the average cost Of a can Of vegetables
of the No. 2, or one-quart size, at the
stores is Is cents, and contended that
the average cost per can Of putting up
the vegetables in the same size cans
at home is only four cents, the ii
cents difference representing the prof
it's of the manufacturer and the sever
al middlemen.
Mr.. Benson had on display several
homecoming outfits, which may be
purchased at from $14 to $24, accord
ing to size, and gave practical demon
strations in the canning of greens, to-
matoes and corn by the home process.
By working full day, said Mr.. Ben
son, it is possible to can 600 quarts OF
the vegetables, while any girl should
can 800 quarts without any trouble.
In support of his claim that four cents
per can will cover the cost Of home
canning, Mr.. Benson presented statis-
tics which he has gathered during the
last three years in IA different states.
