After wrapping, the packages were
moved to the locker room, which is
held above zero. Attendants use a
master key to get in Pi"kering's
locker and store away his packaged
pork for future use.
Vegetables require speedy careful
handling IC garden freshness is to he
preserved. This job usually falls to
the housewife. Peas and asparagus
will illustrate how it is dole. Asplu'-
agus Is gathered and carried to the
kitchen, where it is cleaned, Then it
is immersed inboiling water for two
minutes. This is a vastly important
step. This scalding inhibits the ac-
tion of the ferments which cause
spoilage. Next the asparagus is dried
and packed in containers—perhaps
one quart waxed cartons. Peas are
handled in much the sante manner
but packaged in cheaper ice-cream
buckets. After packing, these vege-
tables are chilled in the home Ice-
box until ready to be transported to
the locker plant where they are
placed in the locker.
The lower the temperature main-
tained in the storage room, the bet-
ter for the products. At 40 degrees
below zero the action of the ferment
ceases almost eutirely, and vege-
tables and meats will keep indefin-
itely. But cost of maintaining such a
temperature is far too high. About
zero appears to be satisfactory from
all points of view. At this level the
action of ferments is only half what
it is at 15 degrees F, Chemical action
goes on but at too slow a pace to do
much damage. Most foods will keep
from six months to a year,

present the first significant change in
recent times in the handling and
storage of farm foods. Benefits. of
course, can be enormous. The farm
wife escapes the drudgery ff can-
ning vegetables, preserving fruits'
and cold -packing meats. Butchering
cows and bogs. once limited to the
winter, can now take place at any
time. The farmer has a new variety
of foods to eat the year round, and
most of these foods are far richer in
vitamins than his usual diet.
Figures of saving that accrue to
locker users vary widely. One un-
biased survey indicated 330.00.
To get some notionof bow it
operates, let's start with Farmer
Pickering renting one of these kick-
ers . Last July, with pork price::
low, he decided to butcher a hog
and lay in a supply of reasonably
priced meat for his family. By but-
chering then instead of waiting for
the cold weather, he saved a nice
feed bill. Since be was busy with his
crops he decided to turn the whole
job over to the locker plant.
In his own truck he delivered the
bog. The butcher in attendance took
charge. For a fee of 31 he slaught-
ered the animal and hung it in the
"chill" room. Body heat was dissip•
ated over the course of two or three
days In this room where temperature

ONT, GOVT. HOG SUBSIDY
IN EFFECT ON MAY 5T1-4
Will Be Paid on Hog Carcasses "A"
and "B1" in Approved- Plants
The Ontario Government hog sub-
sidy of $1 per hog carcass grading
"A", and 50 cents per hog carcass
grading "Bi" will apply on all hogs
slaughtered in approved plants on
and after Monday, May 5th. This
subsidy will apply on hog carcasses
graded 111 packing plants where
a
Dominion Government hog grader is
in charge of grading operations, or in
smaller plants which have been ap-
proved by the Ontario minister of
agriculture. Grading will be done ac-
cording to the standards as defined
in Dominion hog grading regulations.
What The Farmer Must Do
To secure the subsidy the farmer
must have his hogs identified so
that the carcasses can be graded and
a grading certificate issued in his
name. In addition he must obtain
from the drover, packing plant or
shipper•, this grading certificate
signed by the grader, naming the
grades of the carcasses marketed.
The next step is to secure an ap-
plication form from either his ship-
per, packing plant or agricultural re-
presentative. and fill it out. He then
attaches all grading statements he
has received to application form
and mails both to the Hog Subsidy
Division, Ontario Department of
Agriculture. Parliament Buildings,
Toronto.
It is most important to remember
that all grading certificates and ap-
plications for subsidy must be for-
warded to the Dept. of Agriculture
at Toronto within sixty days of the
time the certificates are issued.
