Data Smith County will do
Its share to meet the world
food shortage which Is threaten-
ed this year, Mies Sadie Lee
Oliver, oounty Home Demon-
stration agent, predicts.
This county has always been
a big producer of garden stuffs,
Miss Oliver points out.
“However,” die adds, “most
people do not appreciate the
real eerlousnes* of the food sit-
uation. The Importance of plant-
ing gardens and raising all the
home-grown foodstuff possible
for canning and hom# consump-
tion cannot be overemphasized.”
Canned food of almost all
typos will be on the market this
year, the home demonstration
agent predicts, but there will
not be enough of It to go around
and the price will be high.
• By growing and home can-
ning a major portion of the veg-
etable and fruits needed for the
local population, people here
can relieve tha prating de-
mand In other parts of th* coun-
try and at tha same time re-
duce their food budget mater-
ially. *
Mrs. 'Clarence Hollabaugh,
market committee chairman of
tha oounty home demonstration
council, has announced that, If
there Is sufficient demand for
the produce arrangements will
be made to bring truck loads of
pineapple, apricots, grapes,
cherries, and tomatoes, as well
as other fruits and vegetables,
to Hereford during he canning
season.
Items which are not grown
here in quantity can be brought
in for canning from Bast Texas
markets at a time when local
vegetables are not available,
Mr*. Hollabaugh point* out.
Persona Interested In home can-
ning these supplies should con-
tact Mrs. Hollabaugh or the
county H. D. agent.
