FOOD HU WAT ION
CON 11 ST LND'
The Home Preservation
of Food Contest has end
ed in this area. The
judge's report has been
sent to the University
office. This contest
includes all of Alaska,
so our winner, Mrs. J.
Dunlap, may not receive
the award given by the
National Carden Insti
tute; but she doos win
a hearty applause for
her fine storage of food.
The judges, Mrs. Neil
[Miller and Mrs. Howard
jEstelle, gave this re
ports
it-must oe a very sat
isfactory feeling for
;Mrs. Dunlap to look at
|the supply of food she
ihas put away for the
'winter, and realize that
'she is so adequately
[prepared.
At first glance, her
'meat supply seemed a
,little low for a winter
1 ahead, although she had
'an enviablo amount of
'frozen caribou and moose
|to lend variety. Both
canned and frozen chick
en give promise of many
good Sunday dinners.
Salmon canned in 195°
was sufficient for the
season ahead. She was
looking forward to
butchering a hog and
two young beeves at such
time cur* th^rs jjpuld be
vooi* -L J■:fo! \ \i"tha - i reV
er. These animals are
in the barn, so in a
sense, should be con
sidered as stored food.
Somo beef soup stock
and lard-still remained
from last year's supply
A few boxes of rasp
berries in the freezer
and a few jars of rhu
