Sussex Women Urged
To Can Vegetables
Full Larder WIN Guard Against
Possible Increase In Food Costs

Canning time is in full swing
and wise homemakers are securing
the cellar and attic closets for Jars
and tops to be filled with fruits and
vegetables.
Sussex women have been urged
since the January meeting Of Home
Demonstration Clubs to can every
thing possible this year as a guard
against possible increases in food
costs. Many farms have planned
gardens which are sufficient in size
to supply enough canned vegetables
to meet the needs of the family
through the winter months and al
low the needed two or more serv-
ings daily of fruits or vegetables.
Families whose gardens do not pro-
vide a surplus for canning will
no doubt find it economy to buy
vegetables from a neighboring farm
for canning.
