not a j great deal that could be saved,
because of the long, hot, diy sum
mer, Which cut short vegetable crops
of almost every kind. Prospects this
year, 'however, are ju&t the reverse,
with prospects of a number yield of
all these vegetables, so that there,
should be an abundance for canning
and preserving. A good deal more
preserving and canning of fruits is
also expected, as these, crops are bet
ter than in 1932, at leas' S o far.
