perishable should be stored by every
| family that has facilities to do SO. If
they have their own gardens, it is
| much cheaper to buy and store home
grown vegetables from neighbors than
to wait until winter and buy them
from the store.
Go to the wiseacres in your COM
munity who know the best ways of
home storage, IT ask advice of the
agricultural extension service of the
food administration in your state. Talk
meetings, at ladies' aids. church sup
pers or over the back fence. Get
everyone interested. A little talking
will do it
often several families will be able
to band together for community stor-
age to save labor and time in prepar-
ing the place to store products for
winter. Talk your community into
the idea now while vegetables are
plentiful.
