basis. It will furnish all the la
Dor, and retain fifty percent
of the finished product. The
proceSsed foods will be used in
the school lunch program.
All patrons who are contem-

consultant, p. M. Collier, in
forming him what produce they
plan to process and on what
date in order that the cannery
staff can be adequately pre-
pared for such work.
