the vegetable industry’s com
petitive position in the future are

New Jersey Annual Vegetable
Meeting to be held Tuesday
through Thursday, Jan. 14 to 16, in
Atlantic City.
The event is sponsored by the
Cooperative Extension Service of
Rutgers University’s Cook College
and will be held in the Resorts
International Casino Hotel. The
meeting is the largest of its type on
the East Coast and is expected to
attract some 2,000 participants,
said W. Bradford Johnson of Cook,
program coordinator.
Presentations on sweet com,
sweet potatoes, small fruits,
tomatoes, peppers and white
potatoes will be held in addition to
general sessions, said Johnson, a
retired extension specialist in
vegetable crops at New Jersey’s
State University. Special sessions
also will be held on pest control,
bedding plants and processing
crops.

Association of New Jersey co
sponsors the meeting with the
cooperation of the State Potato
Association and the New Jersey
Indoor
humidity
MEDIA - When a
house is sealed and
heated during the
winter months, indoor
humidity drops. This
happens because warm
air has the capacity to
bold much more
moisture than cold air.
Initially, the amount of
moisture is the same for
air both inside and
outside. However,
warm air, with its in
creased thirst, registers
a drop in humidity and
begins to steal moisture
from its surroundings.
Dry skin, nose bleeds,
chronic bronchitis,
• sinusitis and asthmas
flare as respiratory
passages to yield,
moisture. To make your ■
winter more healthful, •
Extension home 1
economist, Greta C.
Vairo, suggests adding
humidity to the air you
breathe.
Of the appliances
being marketed for this
purpose, authorities
favor humidifiers over
vaporizers. Humidifiers
operates on the cool
mist principle. They
produce water droplets
and may be used for
sick room relief as well
as for general
humidification.
Because most stan
dard vaporizers
produce hot mist or
steam, burns and scalds
occur if physical contact
is made with a hot unit.
This can pose a problem
during filling or in
homes with small
children. Newly
marketed cool mist
vaporisers, on the other
hand, MM no such
threat. They are highly.
effective when used in a ,
sick room, bat -less
energy efficient than
humidifiers -when it
comes to general
household humidifying.
Department of Agriculture.
An extensive trade show will be
held in conjunction with the
meeting, with over 100 exhibit

techniques.

Tuesday, Jan. 14, with welcoming
remarks by Alan Ebert, president
of the Vegetable Growers’
Association, and Dr. Stephen J.
Kleinschuster, dean of Cook
College and director of the State
Agricultural Experiment Station
headquartered there.
David C. Sorensen, agricultural
agent for Carroll County, N.H. and
past president of the National
