Miss Proffit, the county home demonstration agent, says the truck for canning this year will be less than in past seasons and she urges every woman in the county to watch for all the stuff she can get to can or preserve in any way and care for it for winter. The same reports come from all over the country. The dry summer has spoiled much of the garden stuff, and the early spring frosts killed the fruit and vegetables in many of the sections where that kind of food material is made for the canneries. So Miss Proffit warns everybody to go to unusual efforts to provide for the winter, and not to depend on what cannot be forthcoming from other sources. The latter part of this season may produce something in the gardens that can be saved for winter, and some fruit may yet be available. But she thinks nothing should be allowed to get away that can be saved.
