It was the second week in May be-
fore I decided to be a pantry demon-
strator. Our club being a new one,
we were slow getting our ,work start-
ed for the year.
I knew very little' about 4-H pan-
tries but what I did know about them
seemed very interesting indeed. This
way of canning to fill an estimated
budget, and planning well balanced
meals the year around.
I had very little in previous years,
and never had a convenient place to
store my products, so the plan of
having a real pantry lined with
shelves of good things to eat certain-
ly seemed good to me.
W’e had our usual garden place
planted but planted a much larger
one in a suitable place in the field. I
planted several “new” vegetables
that is, ones that I never had before
such as asparagus, carrots,, Swiss
Chard and other greens. I had, and
used 26 different kinds of vegetables
from my garden. I spent exactly
$3.75 for seeds and plants.
The next thing I did was to esti-
mate a budget for my family of three
This was very easy to do by using
the leaflet headed “4-H Pantry” we
all received thru our Home Demon-
stration Agent. And now as the
early vegetables were ready to can it
was surprisingly how fast my bud-
get was being filled.
June and July were busy months,
and having a good time along with
the work. Besides my own, I helped
to can over 1400 containers. Helped
11 different families, some of whom
were not club members, and taught
7 people how to use the canner and
sealer.
In the meantime I had started a
recipe file, using only tried recipes.
Later, I made a bulletin file, and then
a weeks menu file, using products
from my pantry and any substitutes
needed for an adequate diet for my
family. I also have an emergency
shelf in a convenient place in my
kitchen.
In a little room adjoining my kit-
chen that we had fixed best we could
to keep out the cold (also heat in the
summer) we lined two walls with
standard shelves leaving a 27 inch
space at the bottom which we made
into cabinets to store dried fruits,
beans, homemade syrup, peanuts,
pecans, pop corn, and a temporary

potatoes. I also have a place for
our years supply of lard.
Ajl this is conveniently arranged at
very little expense as part of the
lumber used was on hand. Total
cost of new lumber $3.00. There is
no cost for labor as . my husband
made the shelves and cabinets in one
days time and I finished the other
work at odd times.
Quite a number of people have seen
my pantry also my recipe, menu and
bulletin files, and all agree that the

In addition to this our family have
all the milk and butter we need the
year around, and is on the table at
all meals. We also have some cream
to sell. While we nave only a small
flock of chickens they furnish our
egg supply with some to sell. Also
we raise quite a few broilers and
friers every year for our own use
and for market.
I have tried to have a year around
garden this year but due to the dry
weather about the time the fall gar-
den should have been planted, ours
was a little late and not all the seed
came up. But at this time I have
six vegetables in my garden (includ-
ing turnips and turnip greens), some
of which will last thru the winter
providing we do not have a severe
one. And I feel like I have been fully
paid for my efforts.

I was a few cans short on tomatoes
and with cream checks I had been
saving for this purpose, I bought the
required amount already canned. It
was cheaper to do this than to buy
tomotoes and can them as I was buy-
ing cans too. I don’t count this as
an expense as it was an exchange of
of products I had for one did not
have.
Products listed in quarts and
pounds and their values:

Total $340.98
What I spent on my pantry I con-
sider very little. The work did not
cost me anything, only the lumber
and nails, these were something
around $4.00
I have done all of my canning my-
self. Canned my corn and black eyed
peas on the halves. Besides these I
canned 195 cans of other things for
my neighbors, making a total of
1,085 cans this season. I am expect-
ing to can two calves on tne halves
■between now and the first of the
year.
I db-not know of anything else that
I could have done during the summer
that would have been of greater help
to me and my family during the win-
ter as the canning that I have done.
After my canning was finished I
decided To make out a menu for each
meal for each day of the week. As-1
am some days I am busier than others
I find this to be quite a lot of help.
I also have my recipes that I have
been collecting for years, all are
tested recipes which makes them
easier to go by.
In my weeks menu I have used
what I have canned including milk
and butter. I have jelly, jams and
relishes that I have on the table at all
meals. I also keep grapefruit and
apples the entire winter. .
As my husband is away all day
and my little girl is in school, I have
our main meal in the evening.
You will see by my menu that I
have milk evey meal. Some kind of
cereal at least once a day, leafy
vegetables three times a week. Starchy
foods at least once a day, and one
of the others every day. Also two
servings of fruit each day. Two of
protein each day and one sea food
each week. I also have enough
tomatoes to serve at least three
times a week.
My pantry contains enough to sup-
ply my family for the entire six non-
producing months.
