geient alinntities of vegetables tor
home use during the entire year
proyided, ofseourse, the season con-
tinues to be favorable. The first step
of this project is already carried
out. Gardens containing a nice va
riety of vegetables are already
planted and yielding well. The sec
ond step of canning for winter use
is lust now in process and these CO.
operators have each worked out a
canning budget for their family ana
have in. mind about what 1t VIII
take to carry them through the WIN
ter months. The third step OF con
tinuing with a nice fall garden is
being urged and it is hoped Will De
carried out in many instances Ior
Delaware is particularly fortunate
in its long growing season.
These garden cooperators nave
kent a record of what it cost to get
the garden ready and are now send
ing in to Miss Louise r. WhitcomD'
Home Demonstration Agent a week

from. the garden. The value OF these
is being computed at TO-
