at 15 pounds pressure rather than 10 pounds. Michigan State is interested in determining the cost of home canning to see if the consumer actually saves money. With so many new home canners. the possibility of improper procedures leading to food poisoning is great. In 1974 there were 20 outbreaks of botulism Seven people died, five of these deaths were attributed to home canned products An increase in botulism outbreaks is anticipated We talked with an attorney at the Federal Trade Commission who worked on their investigation of a possible conspiracy. They interviewed manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers across the country ■Rieir investigators found no evidence of conspiracy. They concluded that excessive demand was the problem There are 16 companies now producing canning lids. 12 of which are new companies With increased competition in the manufacturing of canning

lids the supply for the 1976 canning season should be adequate. But we will just have to wait and see.
