Second revision. Printed on both sides of off-white card stock with a hole punch along the top edge for hanging in a kitchen. The piece folds into quarters and measures 9" x 24" when spread out. This folding chart contains general directions for canning and timetables for processing non-acid vegetables, along with a chart for fruit and tomatoes. The information was produced by the Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science and originally issued in May 1933 as "Successful Home Canning". Subsequent reissues were titled "Home Canning" and this issue is the first appearance of the chart as "Wartime Canning". Wartime canning and victory gardens were symbols of patriotism and heavily promoted by the government. Home canning soared during World War II, reaching its peak in 1943, with more than 4.1 billion jars canned in homes and community canning centers. (Amy Bentley in Eating for Victory: Food Rationing and the Politics of Domesticity, University of Illinois Press, 1998). Creasing at the folds, with some light toning along the top edge; otherwise very good. A scarce example of the materials produced to support war efforts on the home front.
