Tightening budget belts
Home canning, freezing in boom days
HEATHCUFF
By LOU IVY JOHNSON
County Extension Agent
Did you know that today's
economic situation is causing
many families to tighten their
belts and look for ways to
stretch their dollars? Many are
canning or freezing food at
home — some for the first time.
Food costs versus savings are
big factors that influence many
persons to test their preser-
vation skills. The greatest
savings are realized when you
grow your own produce or have
an economical supply. Foods
for preservation are often
available in season at
reasonable cost from curb
markets, local farmers or
overflow from neighbor’s
gardens.
Reliable how-to information
is the most important
ingredient in home food
preservation. If you don’t have
up-to-date directions for home
freezing, canning or drying,
don’t wait until you have a
bushel of beans some hot
summer night. You can secure,
without cost, reliable in-
formation on all phases of food
preservation by attending a
Food Preservation Workshop,
Thursday, June 5 in the Bowie
School cafeteria.
The registration date has
been extended through May 30
for the workshop. A donation of
$1 will be accepted. If you would
like to know what to bring and
did not receive a copy of my
May “People, News, Views and
Clues” newsletters, let me
know, or call the Extension
Office at 885-3726 or 885-3443. If
there is enough interest there
will be a 2:30 p.m. workshop.
Note: This is an excellent time
to get your pressure canner top
tested at 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
prior to the workshop.
Just before the close of the
workshop the canned products
(tomatoes and beans) will be
judged.
Only you and family mem-
bers can decide if you should
preserve food at home. It may
save you money, it can provide
good quality foods and it can
save time when you prepare
meals. The greatest satisfac-
tion may the pride and pleasure
you experience when serving
each product.
I will conduct training with
Extension Homemakers

Catfish output jumps
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Domestic production of farm-
raised catfish jumped 27 per-
cent in April from a year
earlier, putting overall 1980
production 17 percent above
1979, the Agriculture Depart-
ment says.
More than 3.8 million pounds
was processed during the
month, bringing the 1980 total to
16.3 million pounds.
The department also said
more than 2.5 million pounds of
catfish was sold, an increase of
29 percent over April 1979 sales.
The retail cost for fish last
month was up Just slightly from
March, according to the
Operation Price Watch index,
and stood 10.4 percent higher
than in April 1979.
Prices for Norway sardines,
king crabineat, canned solid
white tuna, flounder fillets and
halibut steaks were sub-
stantially higher than in March.
But those increases were
almost completely offset by"
lower prices for fishportions,
breaded shrimp, ocean perch
fillets, canned chunk light tuna
and cod fillets.
Freshwater catfish imports in
March totaled less than 1.2
million pounds, 89 percent of it
from Brazil, the USDA said.
That is a 23 percent decline
from February import levels
but an 83 percent increase over
the imports during March 1979.
