port, the 4 II Committee reports.
A preference for home pre
served vegetable, fruits. Jam,
meat, rooked dKhes and baked
goods appears to have reached
a new high In 4 11. A stronger
emphasis on nutrition also ha
been a factor. Enrollment Is In
creasing, and with the recent
broadening of the program,
t-ontlnued growth Is expected.
As with other 4 II programs,
modern methods, knowledge,
skill and scientific Investiga
tion are all embodied In the
food preservation program, a
committee spokesman a a I d.
There are opportunities for test
ing, experimenting, trying dif
ferent methods, demonstrating
and exhibiting.
Upon completion, the food

Among the reasons for the up

recent emphasis on science In
4 II projects and a quickening
of Interest in working close to
