HOME GARDENING
AND FRUIT CANNING
SAVE LIVING COSTS
dull Times Urge New Eff
forts for Making
Economy.

Mother Is busying herself these
days In getting out the fruit jars.
busting on the pantry, shelves, and
laying in an unusual stock of sugar.
IL the crops permit, she's going to
set about her canning this year
with more vigor than she's dis
played at any time since they signed
those armistice papers
Home gardening is being revived
Nith wartime popularity. School
tgardens and war gardens are COM
'sing back to life. And suburban
families. digging furiously in the
: back yard; are intent on keeping
these miniature plots abloom with
, fruits and vegetables.
Economy Need KeaIized.
! According to the department of
agriculture, here's the reason for It
> all:
Folks are striving these days to
produce as much of their own living
necessities, right at home, as they
possibly can Food products grown
in the back yard, or concocted in
the kitchen, mean less dependency
on the corner grocery store and less
strain on the pay envelope. For
' dull times are abroad. and people
sare watching the corners.
Ofhcials of the states relation
service, which directs the agricul-
tural departments efforts to en-
courage home canning, report an
unusual interest this year in put
ting up" fruits, vegetables and
meats This is particularly evident
among the farmers and small-town
q communities. Despite the fact that
the department has conducted no
campaign, the demand for advice
in the Organization of canning
clubs" has sprung up with more
interest than at any time since the
war.
Develop Outside Sales.
In many communities families are
planning not only to provide their
own supply of canned goods, but
intend to produce for outside sales;
and jobbing business for home
canned products is developing in
many parts of the country.
Small boys everywhere are being
hard pushed for baseball diamonds,
because vacant lots have been
spaded up for gardens.
OF special significance, say off,
cials of the department of agricul-
ture. is the increased amount OF
vegetable canning. 1t is estimated
that vegetables will be canned this
year in as large quantities as fruits.
This is due largely to the wars
popularization of the cold pack"
method of canning. which decreases
the chance of spoilage. retains the
flavor of the product, and saves
time.
Sugar Drop Lessons Cost.
1t is unfortunate. officials say,
that in view OF the growing popu-
larity of home canning. due'to eco
nomic depression, the early fore
casts indicate extensive damage to
the fruit crop by freezing. Canning
has already begun, however. in the
soft fruits, especially strawberries
which were not damaged to any
great extent.
To counterbalance possible
shortage in the fruit crop is the
drop in the price of sugar. which
will reduce canning costs as COM
pared with last year.
