How Whittling Saved Food.

Demonstrations of food drying spread last year over Kentucky as a part of the national food saving work, according to the U. S. department of a’gpfculture, and in that state 1,800 homemade driers were constructed. Here Is one reason: The home demonstration agents preached the nee<J fordrying so earnestly that many men who had been whittling on street corners to while away the time became interested. They whittled for a purpose and made homemade driers. In Kentucky alone 306,000 pounds of dried products were saved last year.
