One of the best books I’ve seen on home canning and freezing is the Ball Blue Book. It contains step-bystep instructions and drawings on canning methods, recipes, and charts to help you estimate the number of jars a bushel of produce will make, the length of storage for frozen food and signs of spoilage. Write Ball Corporation, Consumer Affairs, Dept. WL, P. O. Box 2005, Muncie, Ind. 47302. Price is $2.50.
The Virginia Department of Agriculture has compiled a list of pick-your-own and fresh-picked vegetable farms, several of which are close by. Call the Rappahannock Extension Office for a copy or write the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Market Development Section, 203 N. Governor St., Richmond, Virginia 23219.
After you’ve done your canning, make plans to enter your best in the Culpeper, Madison, Rappahannock
