Del Monte Tells Joys Of Home Canning Futures Trading By MILTON MOSKOWITZ Soaring prices coupled with an increased demand for natural foods have touched off what some people call renaissance in home To help families interested in canning their own fruits and vegetables, a major corporation recently penned a how-to-do-it essay and included it in the quarterly report it sends to shareholders. nothing magic about the canning process," said the corporate essay. enough to destroy the organisms present in the food and airtight sealing are the two major Now what company do you think would take the trouble to pass on this advice? not, as you might suspect, a producer of mason jars. It is, in fact. Del Monte the nation largest canner of fruits and vegetables.

Del Monte concluded its little essay with these words: think find the canning experience pleasant, rewarding, and satisfying. We know we have, and been at it now for 57 years." If you write to Del Monte (at P.O. Box 3575 in San Francisco 94119), they will be happy to send you this brief introduction to home canning. Of course, if enough of you write, Del Monte might begin to worry. After all, why buy Del Monte when you can pack it yourself? That, however, is a highly unlikely development and Del Monte knows it.

For one thing, you certainly couldn't buy fruits and vegetables as cheaply as Del Monte does unless you have your own backyard garden. If you had to depend on the supermarket supply, it would be cheaper to buy the Del Monte product. These days, Del Monte can well afford to be magnanimous toward home canners. Its annual sales volume is about to cross the $1 billion mark for the first time and making more money than ever before not as much as Campbell and Heinz but considerably more than Libby, McNeil and Stokely. When frozen foods burst upon the scene after World War II, it was thought in some quarters that the canners would suffer.

But they have held their own. Per capita consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables has declined it now represents 60 per cent of the market. But of the remaining 40 per cent, cans take 33 per cent, frozen 7 per cent. Some commodities, such as peas, have swung CHICAGO (AP) Farm commodity futures prices plummeted under widespread selling on the Chicago Board of Trade Monday Limit declines were posted in nearly all pits. Soybeans were down the limit of 20 cents a bushel, soybean oil lost 100 points, corn was down 10 cents and oats 6 cents Soybean meal tell back $6 50 a ton and wheat futures were down 16 cents Iced broilers closed little changed to about cent a pound higher The buying in broilers was strongly influenced by the government's order calling for the destruction of several millions chickens in Mississippi Prices had been irregular on the opening, except for wheat Selling then sharply cut back prices in the soybean complex A major factor in the selling was word that Peru had begun marketing fish meal and oil, products that compete with products in world markets When oil futures fell the limit and remained locked there, selling expanded in soybeans and meal At the close, soybeans were down 20 cents a bushel.

May 6.15'%; wheat declined 16 cents. May 474, corn was down 10 cents, May 2 93' and oats lost 6 cents, May 1 36 () heavily into the frozen column. Others, such as green beans, continue to sell heavily in canned form. Del Monte is No. 1 in this business by a wide margin.

It accounts for 16 per cent of all sales in canned fruits and vegetables. Output per year: Two billion cans of food. Home canning is not about to make a dent in that avalanche. While Del Monte is offering tips on how to can your own food, it is at the same time plunking down $5 million for a nationwide television campaign to sell your children on eating its canned vegetables. Appearing now in 76 markets, the new series of commercials features comedian Bill Cosby cajoling youngsters as follows: right into that corn, ya? got vitamins in it.

The kind you need if you plan to be bigger than three feet tall. You plan on that, ya? Well, start off by that corn in your mouth. right MMM. Feel bigger already, The food industry has long insisted that nutrition is a bum seller. You they have said, convince people to eat good for them.

This may be why, in another one of these new Del Monte commercials, Bill Cosby says: you know that if you eat these your mother may just give you (Copyright Chronicle Publishing Co. 1974) CHICAGO (AP)- Monday High Low Close WHEAT May 4 94 473 4 74 Jul 4 49 4 25 4 29 Sep 4 46 4 25 427 Dec 4 505.31 4 31 CORN May 3 03 2 93'4 2.93'/4 Jul 305 2 2 9434 Sep 2 95 2 2.843/4 Dec 2 76 2 6514 2 Mar2 80 2.69'% 2 71 OATS Mar 1.421.36 1 36 Jul1.451 381 38 Sep 1 1 40 1.40 Dec1.47 1.39’/41.39% SOYBEANS May6 38 6 6.15'% Jul6 406 18' 2 6 Aug6 38 6 17 6.17 Sep 6.27 6 6 Nov 6.195 98598 Jan 6.18 6.016.01 CHICAGO (AP) Futures trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Monday HighLow Close LIVE BEEF CATTLE Apr 41 7040 90a40.90 Jun 44 8543 92 a43 92 Aug 47 60 46 55 a46 55 Oct 47 70 46 82 a46 82 Dec 46 9047 12 a47 12 Feb 48 5047.50 a47 70 FEEDER CATTLE Apr 45 5043 80 44 80 May 45 0044.50 44 50 Aug44 5044 5044.50 Sep 44 6044 60 44 60 Oct44 35 44 35 a44 35 SHELL EGGS Apr 47 95 45 2045.20 May 45 3043 20 43 50 Jun 45 70 44 2544 25 Jul 48 00 46 85 46 85 Aug 47 65 47 1047.10 Sep 53 00 52 60 a52 85 Oct n51 50 Nov 52 50 52 5052 50 Dec 54 50 54 50 54 50 IDAHO POTATOES May15 9715 60 bl5 97 LIVE HOGS Apr 33 25 31 5231.60 Jun 35.70 33 87 34.15 Jul38.20 36 2536.40 Aug 38 75 36 6536 85 Oct 39 1037 0037 45 Dec 40 50 38 7539 05 Feb 41 90 39 90 b40 40 Apr a38.50 Thomson Constituents Respond To Questions WASHINGTON, C.

Los Angeles Times Wire LOS ANGELES If gasoline supply is going to be uncertain for as far ahead as any one can see, could suppliers and users try to protect their needs in a futures market? Gasoline futures, so far, are little more than a gleam in the eye of Warren Lebeck, president of the Chicago Board of Trade, the leading exchange for commodities such as wheat and soybeans. Like other commodity exchanges, it has been looking for new commodities to add to its list, anything that involves shifting patterns of supply and demand, fluctuating prices and a need to nail down future prices with a contract bought today. have started a feasibility study of trading petroleum and all its Lebeck told Los Angeles area commodity brokers at a recent meeting of the Commodity Traders Assn. of Southern California.

He said that the study will encompass all energy sources, including coal. Richard L. Sandor, vice president and chief economist of the board of trade, said the exchange has just hired senior economist from a major energy company to direct the research project, which is expected to take about 12 months to complete. The only petroleum product traded on futures markets now is propane gas. Contracts for future delivery of propane are traded by a group of brokers associated with the New York Cotton Exchange.

The idea of trading gasoline futures was met with some raised eyebrows at the American Petroleum Institute in Washington, D.C. Nobody there would comment for the record, but one marketing expert hazarded a guess that futures trading might be used to hedge against price uncertainties especially with the chance of government-ordered rollbacks or the doubtful production capabilities of wells which have had all the easily accessible crude oil sucked out of them and might be reactivated only under the spur of soaring prices. The biggest uncertainty, this expert said, is the high prices of oil from Canada, Venezuela. Arabia, Africa and Iran will hold Another speculative factor could be the relative volume of higher-priced foreign oil and lower-priced domestic production. But, he added, the whole idea of futures trading could run afoul of federal law if the government should maintain rigid price controls.
