The sunsets seen from the western

most famous in the world. not only by
the Irish. but by American tourists.
who cannot help adding to the gIoryI
OF the scene by imagining their hone-.

Stand on the strand at, say Bartrau.
the pretty little village near Murrisk.
and watch the ball of FIRE slipping
down to rest behind AchiI. with All
the tumbling hills ablaze at their sum-
mits with the borrowed light, and you
VIII ADMIT that the Irish know how to
arrange their sunsets. At such an hour

already are being planned I'm Indiana
and other .Mid-Western States.
In Pennsylvania the increase in can
ming Is estimated as high as 200 per
cent. In Oklahoma typical family on
the Red Cross list last year now has
more than 500 Jars Of food stored away
In Minnesota, pork, lamb. beef and
even chicken meat are being preserved
The interest in canning has spread
from country folk to their city cousins
who have gone into markets, taken ad-
vantage of low prices and bought large
supplies Of fruit and vegetables for pre-
serving.
The extent of the movement is re-
fiected In reports from manufacturers
that the greatest shortage Of glass jars
In the history of the country now exists
Fifty carloads of jars were shipped
into Arkansas this year, as compared
with or 10 carloads In former years.
In all except a few States the farm
ers' storage bins and underground pits
are filled to the point of overf1owing
with potatoes, apples, cabbages, turnips
and other non-perishable edibleS.
Where grain crops have been large
and unmarketable farmers have built
extra bins and trench silos to store
the grain they later will feed to live
stock. Kansas officials are urging the
construction of these trench silos fol-
storing the surplus.
Reports from the State of Washing
! ton told how farm laborers assured
their families of food until Spring by
bartering their labor for produce.
In Oklahoma, farmers we're persuaded
to abandon their old "one-crop" plan
and grow crops for the table and stable
instead.

take surplus crops Of the farmers
hands and can them for distribution to
the needy later. In Tennessee the pre-
serving was done by work house inmates
and the jars are being stored in the
Memphis Court House. The State Peni-
Tertiary in Washington has charge OF
the canning.
Detroit plans to have inmates Of the
House of Correction do the work.
Community cellars, where farmers VIII
deliver their surplus crops for distribu-
ton to the needy, have been established
or are planned in washington ana

In Oklahoma community canning
factories for the use Of those unable TO
afford their own equipment have helped
hundreds of rural families prepare for
the Winter.
Only four States reported less activity
along these lines than in previous years
Nevada, Nebraska, New Hampshire
and South Dakota. In all other States
the vast store Of preserved food was seen
as the farmers bulwark during the
Winter.

FARMERS CANNING
REACHES new PEAK
National Survey Reveals AM
pie Preparation for Hard
Winter.
BY ROBERT ST. JOHN.

toopyrixht. 1891. the Associated Press)
NEW YORK, September 24.-Record-
breaking storing and canning activity
has placed American farmers In bet
ter position than In many years to face
the Winter, so far as food is concerned
This was revealed last night with the
completion of national survey by the
Associated Press, which shows that with
unprecedented foresight farmers in gen.
eral began months ago to prepare for
q hard Winter.
They now have enough food and
foodstuffS in cellars. storage houses and
on pantry shelves to last until the grass
turns green again. Farmers in some
instances may wear patches on their
clothes, but they will have a full larder
for their families.
In one State alone, North Carolina,
home club women have filled 100000
containers Of fruits and vegetables in
comparison with 100000 last year
Gov. Max Gardner said the live at

production Of $25.o00.00o in produce
