Economics Involved In Home Canning By Gaynor Maddux In other times "home canning" was the economy cry of women throughout the country. But today women are realizing that home canning is not the money saver it once was. "Times change, customs change and economic patterns change," states nutrition specialist, Anita Dean, at Michigan State University. "In the Middle West, where more canning is done than in any other part of the country, we have found thai the cost of the food women put up is often the biggest factor in the total cost of preserving food at home.

And the cost very often depends on the source of the food," she adds. "Gifts of produce from friends with overproducing gardens reduces the costs of preserving foods immensely," she says, "Growing your own produce vegetables and small fruits is probably the next most economical way to get food for processing. Buying from a pick-your-own operation, a farmer's market or a roadside produce stand during the height of the season is another fairly low-cost option." Family food preferences should determine what you preserve. Just because green beans, carrots or potatoes are plentiful does not mean you should can them. They are available all year around.

But foods such as peaches, cherries, ihubnrb and other foods of short availability should be top priority. "Failure to follow canning instructions carefully can lead to spoilage and waste and even food poisoning," cautions Dr. Dean. "If you are unsure about your skills, you would be better off freezing fond or buying commercially processed products." Storage of your canned foods is important, They need a cool, dark place that does not get cold enough for food to freeze. Storage in an overly warm area lowers the quality of the food.

And storage in a hard to get to spot may lead to waste because you have forgotten the food is there. "Because of the initial cost of a home freezer and the expense of operating it, home freezing is usually more expensive than home canning," Dr. Dean says. i.NKWSI'AI'KH KM'KHI'IIISK ASSN I Little Schoolhouse Forming New Classes to meet demand 3, 4 and 5 year olds Call for information Ml N.

If you spray them early with nicotine sulphate, lindane of aphis-killing multi-purpose spray, they may not be too bad at this time. But given the right conditions they multiply rapidly again at any time. Dahlias need spraying or dusting often in summer to keep them free of white ely, red spider and other pests.

You can do this once every two or three weeks until color shows in the buds. If you aren't satisfied with the greenness of your lawn, fertilize it about once a month through the summer with a nitrogenous fertilizer. Feed dahlias during their active growth period if you want good blossoms. Tuberous begonias should be fed about once a month, a teaspoon of cottonseed meal or commercial fertilizer to a plant.
