Back To The Simple Life,
Or At Least Part Way Back

Sioux City Tribune-When the
western country was new" and
means Of communication with the
outside world were limited, II was
necessary for each household to be
practically self sustaining In the mat
ter of food products. There were
some drones in those days, but the
majority Of people living in the isolat-
ed districts met the problems of exis-
tence with enthusiasm. The storing
of food supplied for winter, in partic-
tention of each member of the family.
Villagers were just as active in win
ter preparations as farmers.
"Old timers" remember the effects.
The staples included potatoes in
abundance; cabbage IN the head and
in kraut; dried beans; dried
corn. buckwheat for home grinding:
smoked hams and smoked side meat;
sailed pork. Luxuries and semi-lux-
uries included preserves, %tellies, jams
genuine apple cider, walnuts, hazel
nuts, hickory nuts.
People did not worry about fooo
spectators or food prices in those
days. Town jewellers usually had to
make a few purchases, supplement-
ing the products Of the gardens COM
mon to all townhomes, but the berries
requiring only the sport of gathering.
The boys and girls attended to that
part of the business with great sest.
Then came a gradual change. Cen
eral gardening siumped remarkably,
both in the towns and on the farms,
the raising and marketing of garden
products N~'ng left in the hands of
prof - 1.R!,. Its cheaper to buy
gar .n ~,sAuce than to raise Them"
was 5mmon explanation. Ex-
tens..e ovJring OF products for winter
also became a rarity. The Develop
ment Of the canning industry, and
maintenance of reasonable prices,
had made home storage unnecessary.
The theory depending upon 9TH
ers 20 furnish food when needed war
rudely Jared by conditions prevail
ing during the winter Of 1861, and
there has been a partial reversion to
pioneer principles. Probably at no
time during the past 25 years have
the people of the middle west indulg-
ed in so much food preparation for
winter as they have during the sum-
mer and autumn Of 1917.
IL food spectators are planning on
running riot this winter, as they did
a year ago, they are booked for dis.
appointments. II is the exceptional
household which has not stored pota-
toes, eggs, canned vegetables and
canned fruits. A surprisingly large
number even have included butter
among the stored products, and have
the assurance of experts that 1t will
keep. Householders will resist food
profteering down to the last jar of
tomatoes.
Wholesale and retail dealers in food
products should not ignore or minim-
lie existing conditions. They are In
position either to restore confidence
in the supply houses or drive house
holders still further along the way of
self supply md independence.
