SAVE FOOD THROUGH

SAVE FOOD THROUGH
RIGHT STORING = Storing
i'd is just as important as buy
ing. If foods are not properly
cared for, money saved by care
full buying may soon be lost.
In this day of mechanical
refrigerators, freezers, vegetable
compartments and similar equip
ment, the basic problem of stor-
age is sometimes forgotten. Moist
foods should be kept moist; dried
foods should be kept dry; frozen
foods should be kept frozen; and
fresh foods as nearly in their
fresh-cut or field-ripened condi-
ton as possible.
All perishable foods need re-
frigeration. Most refrigerating
equipment collects moisture in
the form of frost ON the freezing
coils. A large part of this mois-
ture may be drawn from the
foods as well as the air in the
refrigerator. Consequently, most
foods, with the exception of
thick-skinned fruits like oranges,
should be wrapped or covered to
prevent this loss of moisture and
shrinkage in weight and size and
to avoid the transfer to food

| CELERY rs TOPIC
| FARM MEETING
IN HYDE COUNTY
Nebraska Farm Group Con-
siders New Crops Along
With 1854 Plans
By Pratt Williamson, Jr.

Forty-fve farmers attended
produce meeting at the Nebraska
Community House Friday night.
Leon Balance talked to the group
about the growing of a crop new
to Hyde County-celery. Leon,
along with Sam Dudley, Leland
Dudley, and George O'Neal, re-
turned to Engelhard early last
week from a four-day trip to Flor
ida to observe celery farming
there.
This year celery will be produc-
ed commercially in Hyde County
for the first time. In fact, this will
be the first time that it has been
produced anywhere in North Car
DINA on large scale. Leslie Sim
mons of Fairfield, along with three
of the Engelhard men, Leon, Sam,
and Leland, are proceeding with
plans to try growing celery for the
first time. In all, Is acres will be
put in, with the seed being furnish
ed free of charge by Chase & Com
pany, well-known produce buying
company. Chase & Company has
previously brought the sweet corn
produced by a number of Hyde
County farmers; they are now
backing the celery venture and
have agreed to buy all of the celery
produced.
County Agent E. L. Topping
believes that celery is good pos
sibility for Hyde. He points out
that the celery produced in the
county will go to market at time
when no other area in the United
States is producing celery. AL
though the expense of growing
celery is high, due to the amount
of labor required to handle the
planting and harvesting, the price
paid is correspondingly high. Plans
call for the irrigation of the celery
fields; a liquid Cleaner" will be
mixed with the irrigation water
which will kill all kinds of plants
except celery, thus solving the
weed problem.
Two representatives from the
Plymouth produce market also at
tended the meeting Friday night
to explain how the new market
there will work. Products which
the market will handle for farmers
in nearby counties include: bell
peppers, tomatoes, snap beans,
squash, cucumbers, sweet corn and
cabbage.
