centage of produce preserved will be
retained by the city for use in Dis
trict institutions.
Harry M. Gardner. who has been
operating the city's penny milk pro-
gram, has been placed in charge of
the program. Mr.. Gardner started

District in 1884.
Facilities of the central kitchen,
where school lunches are now pre-
pared. will be used, including six
100-gallon pressure steam kettles

sufficient to take care of demands
OF gardeners. Mr.. Gardner reports
that space and facilities also will be
available for housewives to clean and
prepare vegetables prior to canning
The Agriculture Department has
promised to furnish several experts
on canning to assist Mr.. Gardner's
staff Of II assistants.
With District schools closing next
month, and Congress authorizing
the funds, the project will be ready

pates brisk business in canning as
most housewives seem to have lost
the art of preserving.
