iScker plants in the South.

, -i ers, Inc. This plant will
' xd'. last word in modern effi
pt , and will provide Duplin
' prfV Warsaw the facilities
iee i for the processing and

fi . Mcial and construction
lgem f are being made,
ever, f success of the plant
.ependeTi upon the farmer pa
ns who will find this plant o'
. mendous value in their food
Reserving problem. For the suc
cessful operation of the plant, at
least 200 lockers in this plant must
be rented by those from the rural
S'.tions who, in fact, find them
even more , profitable that the
folks living in town.
The plant will provide a capa
city of 500 lockers. Each will bo
6 cubic feet in size and of the
very latest design. The processing
equipment will provide ample
space and facilities for the curing
of a very heavy volume of pork,
the processing of beef, poultry and
'-"s other meats as well as vegetables
and fruits. In the pork curing sec- j
tion, which is provided for the.
curing of pork for home use, there
Is space to handle up to 2000
pounds of pork at one time. The
Warsaw plant will not be depend
ent upon the weather for the cur-
big of pork as the plant will make
Its own weather and will maintain
a temperature in the pork curing
room of around 35 to 38 degrees at
i all timeij,. Under those perfect con
ditions pork can be cured to per
fection which will guarantee its
?eping when it is finally taken
me.
Beef, when brought in, is hung
in the Chill and Aging Room and
is kept there until it is ready to
be processed. When the processing
stage is reached, steaks, roasts,
and hamburger are prepared pro
perly, trimmed, wrapped and then
frozen under perfect conditions
and placed in the locker to be
available when the locker owner

In addition to the advantages of SSgt. H. G. Best, Jr., son of Mr
a frozen food locker plant for the an(j Mr.s. Henry Best, Rt. 1, War
preserving of food for home use, j saw returned to Warsaw Tuesday
there is also a tremendous oppor- after having been overseas for
tunlty given for the processing of ' more tnan three years m the Paci
food through this plant to be sold fic area He was Wjth a Truck
on the open market at special group and spent a iong period of
prices and an ever-increasing mar- time in Austraiia iater going to
ket where the demands far exceeds the Philippines where he suffered
the supply, thus these plants stim- an illnpsK nnH was , the hosoitai
ulate a better market for the
farm since the plant itself serves
as a local manufacturing plant for
food production.
The low cost of $15. a year, ave
rage, for the rental oi the lockers
is very reasonable indeed when
you compare the cost of operating
a home-refrigerator. The small ad
ditional charge added thereto for
processing brings the total cost
well within the range of all users
of kickers. The Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture issued a state
ment some time ago that where
the owner of a locker in a frozen
food locker plant properly used
that ldcker there would be a sav-,
Ing of over $100 a year in the
. . v. ,.u . ii I
food bill of the family,
The citizens of Dunlin County
h wirum havo fun reason to
be glad of the plant now being
