is very apt to conclude that she does

Community Canning

Middlebury may take pardonable
pride in the fact that it appears to be
the first town in the state to start a
community canning plant. In a single
story frame building, which lies only
twenty feet distant from the boiler
room at the Addison County Coopera-
tive Dairy Company's plant, on Sey-
mour street, just north of the railroad
station, the community canning opera
tions which were described in last
weeks Register will begin at eight o.
clock next Tuesday morning and con-
tinue every Tuesday and Friday, and
perhaps oftener, during the summer.
The proximity to the milk station,
with its abundance of steam for steri-
lization and its huge sterilizing watts
will give the canning kitchen every ne
cessary advantage, unless it is matter
of location Even in this respect it will
not be announcement for many farmers
transportation, but for some villagers
the problem of getting jars and produce
carried to and fro may be one of diff
Guilty unless some system is devised for
the collection and return of the jars
1t is hoped that this will be taken care
of, and every stimulant given to inter
est everyone in the economy and other
advantages of this community idea.
1t will be beneficial to the community
in many ways if we can start off ouri
first year with a record for canning that
will be worthy of notice throughout the
state We shall not only have made a
good contribution toward food preser-
walton and protected ourselves against
want next winter, but will have set an
example which we would be proud to
see other communities emulate.
Miss Emma A. Fuller, Home Demon
strator of the Addison County Farm
Bureau, deserves congratulation on her
initiative in this and many other pro-
gressive matters, and it is hoped she
may not be discouraged by apathy on
the part of many who are slow to enter
upon new schemes, or who are COM
planning if some hitch annoys them in
tackling a new idea.
Those who will give the community
plant a trial are urged to get their jars
and produce to the plant as early in the
day as possible. If vegetables are to be
canned, only the vegetables and the jars
and rubbers need be brought; but if

that produce left at the plant in the
morning will be ready for delivery in

The uniform rate for canning will be
