FSA Canning In
Meriwether Hits
New High in 1941
PER FAMILY QUOTA HIKED BE
CAUSE OF IMPORTANCE OF
FOOD FOR VICTORY, SUPER
VISOR POINTS OUT
Greenville, Ga., Mar. 19.—Can
ning among the 221 FSA families
in Meriwether county took a decided
upturn last year, with the 1941 can
ning figure showing an increase of
over 5,000 quarts from the 1940
total, Mrs. Loretta Tigner, home
management supervisor, said this
week.
Family averages in 1940 were 192
quarts and last year that number
had been hiked to 249 quarts for a
57 quart increase per family, and
this despite one of the severest
droughts and poorest crop years in
a generation, Mrs. Tigner explained.
She attributes the canning gains to
better year round gardens and more
practical live-at-home programs.
To aid in the Department of Ag
riculture’s “Food for Freedom” cam
paign, the canning standards per
person have been raised from 85 to
100 quarts, the supervisor pointed
out. To meet the greatly expanded
food production goals set by the
FSA, most of the families are plan
ning to double the size of their gar
dens and plant more truck patches
as means of producing more food
for home use and preservation.
Over 170 of the families are buying
garden seed cooperatively through
the Meriwether County Purchasing
and Marketing Association at a sav
ing of approximately $340, with
these seed being distributed through
a local dealer. The packages con
tain 41 varieties of vegetables,
enough for a complete year round
garden, and were selected by garden
experts from the Extension Service
and FSA.
“More meat is being canned by
the FSA families than ever before,”
Mrs. Tigner said. “In 1941 be
tween 35 and 50 beeves were canned
and this year that will probably be
doubled. Farm people are just
more canning conscious. When I
came to the county in 1936 the can
ning average was 36 quarts per fam
ily. Proper education and direction
plus better equipment, such as the
pressure cooker, is responsible for
the tremendous canning increase.”

“WE ARE AT WAR!” That’s the headline we’ve all been
reading since Pearl Harbor. But there’s another headline just
coming into its own that’s just as news-worthy. It’s the head
line—“AMERICAN FARMER TO WIN THE WAR.”
Yes, the American farmer will win this war because he knows
what’s going on. He knows that production and production
alone is the only way to victory. He knows that a nation looks
to him to supply them with the material necessary to wage suc
cessful warfare. How does he know all this? He knows it
because the United States has the best system of news reporting
to let the people know what’s what and what’s needed. The Amer
ican farmer found out what was needed and he did something
about it.

Stockpiles of Food for Peace

ii 'rtnanrCv ■' '
Here is what the U. S. Department of Agriculture means when it
urges farmers to help produce “stockpiles of food for use after the
war.” The upper picture shows barrels of dried milk, just as good a
year from now as today. The lower picture shows a warehouse filled
with huge drums of cheese, even better with aging. These farm
products, plus condensed milk, dried milk, cured pork, and canned
meat and vegetables, constitute the stockpiles of defense food which,
says Secretary Claude R. Wickard, will be needed by hungry Europe
and “will exert the maximum influence at the peace conference table.”
