FARMERS' CANNING REACHES NEW PEAK National Survey Reveals Am- ple Preparation for Hard Winter. BY ROBERT ST. JOHN. (Oopyright. 1931, the Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Seplember 24.—Record- breaking ‘storing and canning activitly has placed American farmers in a bet- ter position than in many years to face the Winter, so far as food is concerned. This was revealed last night with the | eompletion of a national survey by thei Associated Press, which shows that with unprecedented foresight farmers in gen- eral began months ago to prepare for s hard Winter. | They now have enough food and | foodstuffs in cellars, storage houses and on pantry shelves to last until the grass turns green again. Farmers in some instances may wear patches on their clothes, but they will have a full larder for their families. In one State alone, North Carolina, home club women have filled 4,600,000 containers of fruits and vegetables in year. | which in 1920 was bought outside the State, & Furthermore, farmers spent less than usual in cultivating their a8 & result of the lack of financial assist- M ‘speclaiat in rural social anny, “in rural - ization in the Department of ml- ture, said: “The farmers’ main idea is to cut living expenses to the bone, hnfln! to break even in final payments on charges. In the South, especially, sin- cere efforts have been made this year to _accomplish this end.” % The survey revealed that in many States, notably Virginia, Alabama, Col- orado, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania, more mm crops were planted this season ever be- fore, the farmers in some cases even figuring out in advance a budget of their families’ Winter requirements. Bumper food crops were reported in |%nd Maryland, Kentucky, Ohlo, Kansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri and Ore. gon. In those sections the yield was great enough to assure the rural - lation enough garden produce to t until Spring, to afford a surplus now belng canned for the needy in urban sections, and to provide plenty of feed for live stock. A report from a county agricultural ag:nt in Texzs was typical of state- ments recelved from all parts of the country, It read: “He may not have enough to buy radios, automobiles and spiffy clothes, but the Texas farmer will have plenty | to_eat this Winter.” The average farmer is fattening his cattle on unmarketable grain and will THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Fifty carloads of jars were shipped into Arkansas this year, as compared with 8 or 10 carloads in former years. In all except a few States the farm- ers’ storage bins and underground pits are filled to the point of overflowing | with potatoes, apples, cabbages, turnips other non-perishable edibles. ‘Where grain crops have been large and unmarketable farmers have built | extra bins and trench silos to store the grain they later will feed to live | stock.
