IN HER people to home food production and preservation? Are their expectations realistic? .How extensive is their gardening? Do they preserve any of their crop? These were among the questions asked in a study by Cornell University in 1975. DeVonya .Andersen, 16, food preservaKaysville tion qlub member reports these Results ofthe study. 4-- WHEN ASKED whether they gardened to save money, to have better quality food or just for a hobby or recreation, the 2,800 who replied hoped to save money, 54 percent considered gardening a hobby, while only 46 work, DeVonya has completed a local study of food preservation costs; those results will be reported this summer. The actual costs of home food preservation should be considered. The cost of home grown food should be compared to the cost of similar food purchased for preservation in quantities at local fell farms or markets. The quality of the home preserved items should be realistically analyzed against readily available commercially preserved food. THERE IS no such thing as food. free Someone, somewhere, has to pay for it in time, energy, know-hoand at least some outlay of dollars. Home production in amounts needed for food preservation requires a longtime commitment of family resources.

But even with all of that, there will be no increase in taxes. In fact, the 1980 fiscal year budget will run less than $5,000 more than the current years allocation. And the $ 268, 392 budget will include $250,000 in revenue sharing funds, with $100,00 for a building addition, $48,480 earmarked for police cars and equipment, $75,000 for parks department including $50,000 for park development and $24,000 for mowers. The streets department will obtain more than $18,000 for a pickup truck, sander, Christmas decorations and shop steel doors. CITY EMPLOYEES will receive a salary increase averaging about seven perfederal cent following guidelines. At the same time, the mayor and city council will retain their present salaries, said City Manager Randall Heaps. The mayor receives $100 a month salary and $131 for expenses (mostly travel) while the councilmen earn $75 monthly with $100 for expenses. None of the departmental other costs rising with inflation, Mr. Heaps said.

THERE ARE no general statistics citing the average dollar-cos- t needed to grow a given amount of fresh produce in a home garden. Conditions between individual gardens, weather, soil type, skill of gardener, and geographic areas vary too much for valid comparisons.

A Only the expendable cost seed, fertilizer, pesticides and water was considered. the expense for Adding needed tools, hoses and other capital items raised the cost another 33 cents a quart if the cost were absorbed in one season or two cents if amortized over a 20 year period. Unfortunately, the first-yea- r gardener will find that the outlay for tools must be spent the first year so that return for the investment requires a commitment to gardening over many years. . ADDITIONAL expenses are necessary if the produce is preserved at home. Equip- ment for preserving tomatoes is minimal but equipment for canning vegetables and for freezing may be costly. Homemakers needing to invest in canners, a pressure canner, and home freezer will find that the dollar cost per package of food preserved ' during the first years of preservation may be higher than the cost of comparable food at the corner supermarket. THE COSTS of canning peaches, tomatoes and green beans in upstate New York were calculated using a number of different cost variables. Homemakers who canned tomatoes could realize substantial savings, while the cost of purchasing peaches and preserving them at home approximated the cost of the commercially canned peach. Wig Gardening often helps stretch cash income, but the dollar return is low for hours of effort. And poor weather may cause crop failures and small yields, regardless of effort. Food preservation also is THERE IS no one right answer to the question, Does it pay to raise and preserve my own food? It depends upon your personal goals. You may not save a significant number of dollars. You will work hard. And you probably will experience one of the most exciting activities possible raising at least some of the food your family uses.
