Both i^armers and Paokei’s ‘Go Into*Wigh’ for SReedy Hardest and Di&trlbntion of Eatables Which Are Kept Fresh the Year Round The desire of the American family to have fresh vegetables, fruits and other eatables readily available the year round, and at reasonable prices, is the basis for the rapidly expanding industry of, quick-frozen foods. Taking time by the forelock, annihilating dis- ' tances as well as seasons, this industry —almost unheard-of a decade ago— has grown by leaps and bounds. Of approximately a billion pounds of food frozen annually in the United States, more than , a third is quick- frozen by processes which preserve the original quality and flavor. While plants at central locations in farm ter* ritory for speedy harvesting and freez ing. Of 40,000,000 pounds of green peas quick-frozen in this country in 1940, more than a fourth was grown In this State. Other leading vegetables are sweet corn, ^een peas, lima beans and spinach. The chief fruits thus used are cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. A considerable quan* tity of New York poultry and Long Island ducks are frozen along with an increasing amount of sea food. The process of harvesting, cleaning, grading, otherwise preparing, packing and freezing is generally completed in from two to three hours. The actual freezing usually takes from one-half' to two hours, depending on the product and freezing method. This rapid-fire work would be im possible without ‘a high degree of co ordination of operations, with super vision by telephone from field to fac- In two and a half hours, green peas are harvest ed and taken to vinery (be)ow), carefully in spected in packing plant (right), packaged and then placed in quick- freezer (above). this is but\a fraction of the total food consumption, the bulk of rapidly- frozen products, comprising from 80 to 90 different kinds of vegetables, fruits, sea foods, poultry and meats, has more than trebled in the past five years. The production today is| valued at about $100,000,000 a year. About half of the volume of quick- frozen products are prepared for home use and distributed through retail out lets In small packages. The other half goes to hotels, bakeries, institutions and others, in' larger containers. New York State plays a,big role In both consumption and production of frozen foods of many kinds. According to the State Bureau of Markets, New York produces from 15 to 20 per cent of the nation’s entire pack of quick- frozen foods. At the beginning of this year, its storage warehouses held more than 20 per cent of the nation’s total pack of these products. Farmers in the central and western sections of New York State grow thou sands of acres of choice fruits and vegetables for packers in the quick- freezing industry. The latter erects tbry. The packing concern’s field man, who watchds over the crop from planting to ma turity, informs the farmer of the day and hour, for exam ple, when his peas should be harvested and brought to the vinery, which usu ally serves a number of farms in tbe vicinity. From there the shelled peas are rushed to the packing plant, which may receive supplies from several ■vineries. By telephone the field man keeps in close touch with both the vinery and the plant. Meanwhile the truck dispatcher directs with the aid of the telephone the hauling operationg of perhaps a dozen or more trucks. The State Bureau of Markets office at Rochester, in the heart of the fruit and vegetable section, directs largely by telephone—-its 40 inspectors who pass on the quality of products packed at many different places. Always kept at zero temperatures, these products are moved from the rural plants to strategic storage and supply houses in or near population centers. Prom there they are usually shipped on* short notice to retail stores, institutions and hotels, and may even reach the con sumer in house to house delivery trucks. In more than 90 per cent of the cases the orders in these stages of delivery are directed by telephone.
