Cookers Made Available
For Home Canning Use

B! the Associated Press
The Agriculture Department re-
ported today that distribution of a
limited number of pressure cookers,
disable for home canning of vege-
tables and meats, had been started
in Southern States.
The War Production Board has
allocated materials for the manu-
facture of 10000 such cookers this
year. They will be rationed by
County Farm Rationing Commit
tees.
The department said first cookers
were being sent to Southern States,
including the southern part of Cali
fornia. because canning crops would
be available there earlier than else
where. Saying that cookers would
be shipped to other areas as rapidly
as they are manufactured, officials
expect the entire allotment to be in
the hands OF users before the end of
the canning season.
