Jones County Gardens Have Heavy Yield
A county wide check on the Jones county AAA food exchange shows gardens unusually productive this year due to frequent rains and extra effort. Surplus produce remains with few takers as peas were light for home canning while other vegetables and fruit are plentiful. Housewives could grow 30 to 40 percent more food to free more for the army lends lease and war workers. Tomatoes gain importance as citrus substitutes may be short due to shipping limits. Corn onions potatoes apples and other local home produce will ease war shipping needs. Contact the county AAA office at Monticello or local food cooperators for details.
