CANNING CENTER
TO BE OPEN HERE
FOR FALL GARDENS
According to information re-
ceived at the Area Conference
of Vocational Agriculture Teach-
ers in Austin the local canning
center will be able to serve those
who have products to be canned
this fall said Jack Edwards Vo-
cational Agriculture Teacher.
Although the program now in
operation will be closed in a few-
days we will be able to open
again under the same set-up this
fall. This new program should
start about September 15.
As all feed crops are short and
cs.nned products are going to
the government it is urged that
everyone should have a Fall gar-
den. Any surplus should be can-
ned. It is now time to start Fall
gardens.
According to early reports re-
ceived for the State of Texas
jmore than 6 million cans of pro
ducts nave been put up in tno
Vocational Agriculture canning
centers similar to our local cen-
ter. Mr. J. A. Marshall super-
visor of this iprogram. stated
that we would be able to operate
our canning center through the
local Department of Vocational
Agriculture again next year.
There is a possibility that we
would be able to help in the
butchering and curing of meats
this fall if sufficient interest is
shown. Those who would be in-
terested in a canning or' butcher-
ing center in operation for fall
gardens or butchering should
leave their name and number of
products to be conserved with
Jack Edwards local V. A. teach-
er in order that we may pfon
for this program.
