WASHINGTON - Senator Dick Lugar (R-Ind ) said that Indiana farmers and consumers were the big winners in the Senate's consideration of the Farm Bill this past week Lugar spearheaded an effort in the Senate to cut the federal expenditures in the bill in order to lessen deficit spending and lower interest rates, while still providing needed basic farm support programs. Lugar's actions have been reported m the national media as a major defeat for the special interest groups which have historically controlled federal farm legislation "We have taken a giant step moving into a new era of supporting the market principle in American agriculture, away of production long held dear .and proven successful in Indiana, but

denied elsewhere," Lugar said Lugar won several votes during the Senate floor debate to reform what he called the "feudalistic" peanut program, to stop the federal government from getting more control over crop production, and to lower the overall cost of the Farm Bill to the taxpayers by more than $2 billion The Reagan Administration supported Lugar in his efforts to lower the cost of the Farm Bill, which exceeded the President's budget restraints as originally passed last May by the Senate Agriculture Committee, which is chaired by Sen Jesse Helms <RN.C.). Lugar had been alone on the committee calling for the spending cuts “Indiana farmers and. for that matter. Americans everywhere

want lower interest rates.” Lugar explained "This can be done only by controlling federal spending President Reagan and the new Republican majority in the senate have been taking the lead to do this. We will continue to work to cut deficit spending fairly, whether it be in the defense budget, social and urban programs, or farm legislation And it will be done in such away to keep our nation's security strong, provide assistance to our farms, and help our cities and towns, the poor, sick and elderly.” Lugar concluded. “It will also be done in away to eliminate unneeded government regulation and special interest programs, and to encourage the production of new jobs. We have alreadydone much The President’s tax reform bill will help farmers and small businesses with changes in the estate tax. Home building will be helped with the savings incentives And the average wage earner will see the benefits when he finds more money in his pocket after pay day when the first part of the tax cut starts October 1. But more has to be done, or we will slip back into the malaise of the previous administration and Congress.” Wrong organization given the credit tn previous issues of The M-J the wrong organization was given credit for the dunk tank held during the Old Fashion Park Day at Syracuse Articles noted the American Legion was in charge of this event when in fact, the Sons of the American Legion, under the direction of Paul Stouder. was in charge of the event

PUTTIN’ UP ’MATERS If you've had a bounteous harvest this year, it may be that you’re on the verge of hoping you’ll never see another tomato again. That feeling won't last, though, and supplies of home-canned fruit that seem overwhelming in autumn have away of melting away come February. So if you want to rescue any green tomatoes left on your vines before the first frost bites them, you can extend your garden harvest for a couple of weeks. The green fruit can —for example —be placed on windowsills, counters, and tables where it’ll continue to ripen off the vine. On the other hand, if you don't want to clutter up your entire house with slowly reddening tomatoes, you may prefer to wipe the fruits clean, wrap each one in newspaper, then pack the 'maters in cardboard boxes and store them where they won’t freeze. Check the fruits for ripeness each day by gently squeezing them and removing any that feel soft. You can use these fresh, canned, or however you like Then again, you can do as several of our readers have suggested . uproot whole tomato vines just before frost, shake of the dirt, and hang the plants upside down indoors. The fruit will then ripen in its own time... if you're one of the people for whom this trick works well There is yet another possibility: Tomatoes may grow and produce all year if planted inside in big pots and judiciously pruned to manageable size If you’re venturesome — and have plenty of space near a large south window — go ahead and give it a try. Once you’ve harvested that last-minute crop, you may want to process the beauties that were picked ripe. The boiling-water bath, a technique which calls for canning jars, is about the most common way of preserving tomatoes. Unfortunately, some regions seem to have a constant shortage of jars during the canning season. You may already be aware that some commercial food products — mayonnaise and other salad dressings, mustard in large quantities, etc. — come in jars that fit one or another of the standard-sized canning lids (regular, wide mouth or No. 63). These can fr guentiy be used as substitutes for proper storage jars, but home economists of the agricultural extension offices discourage the use of such containers for canning methods other than the boiling-water bath. Sometimes, however, jars are easy to obtain but canning lids are scarce as hens' teeth! Well, good news! Many commercial goods are sold in glass containers that come fitted with self-sealing tops, and both the jar and the lid are reusable. — Any time you come by a jar with a metal twist-off lid. look inside the cover. If you find a built-in plastic ring, you’re in luck. That band can be softened by heating, and the top — properly handled — will reseal its matching container At canning time, keep such lids in boiling water until you're ready for them Then place the tops on the appropriate jars (now filled with hot produce), screw them down firmly (but not too tightly), and process the batch in the usual way. The containers will self-seal as they cool. Fair warning Canning with resealable commercial jars and lids is definitely not recommended by most experts. All the sam**. manyfolks have done it successfully and have experienced no more failures than occur with regulation equipment. Jars with resealable lids contain a mind-boggling array of foodstuffs: salad dressings, breakfast drinks, nondairy creamers, instant coffee, sauerkraut, pickles, pigs' feet, orange juice, jellies, peanut butter, dry-roasted nuts, etc. If you don’t use very much of these storebought products, you might be able to obtain empties from in-laws, friends, rummage sales, or recycling centers However, no closable glass jars — even those that won’t qualify as canning containers — should be wasted. Any that can't be resealed and won’t take standard lids can be filled with jams, jellies, and preserves topped with paraffin Used baby food jars are fine for small amounts of jelly, too, or as freezing containers for infant-sized servings of homemade purees or whatever. Any nonresealable bottles can be stoppered with corks to store such products as catsup. While you're collecting offbeat containers, keep an eye open for secondhand lots of “real" canning jars . . . which are often still available at farm sales and auctions The green and blue glass type are now considered antiques and are frequently priced out of sight. Ordinary quart and pint Mason jars, however, regularly turn up for sale by the boxful, and may be priced quite reasonably. "Waste not. want not” is an old adage that makes real sense in these days of exorbitant food prices. If you take a little time, you can “waste not' either your last-minute tomatoes, or your supply of glass containers - .
