WORK FOR CONGRESS
Canning Method Being I'm
proved


When Congress meets in De 'm
Der, one Of the questions to be
thrashed out will undoubtedly be
The revision Of the pure food laws
to meet the demands of the gen
eral body Of consumers for still
further improvements in the meth
DDS in vogue in many food facto
ries.
One of The points overlooked III
the original ACT was the trea nint
Of peaches AMI apricot in canning
plants. Il Is the practice of many
canucfie, to lmme,se peaches in a
boiling solution Of caustic soda
aud allow the fruit to stew III this
chemical until the skins of the
fruit are eaten loose. The fruit is
then put through several washings
until the skins are washed away
This process is about a cent and a
half or two cents can cheaper
than peellng by knife. Those
who are calling attention to this
chemical treatment say that the
use of the I've is not the worst
feature Of tue process, but contend
that IN order to use this cheap
peeling process 1t is necessary to
use green and unripe fruit for can
ming. Ripe fruit will not stand
the lye-process but becomes dis
cOlOred and disintegrated in the
soda. The little flavor
which the unripe peaches have is
killed by the I've treatment so that
the result is a woody, tasteless,
canned peach which depends for
flavor on the syrup which is added
in the Canning process.
The way to tell a lye.peeied
peach is to wash away the syrup
and then taste the fruit. If it is
tasteless and pulpy the chances
are it is II lye-l,eeled peach.
In the several washings to
which the peach is subjected after
it is peeled by I've, most of the
chemical is undoubtedly washed
away but if any Of it is left the
consumer gets it with it's fruit.
Congress did not mention tins
subject in the pure food laws, con.
the Gamers who use
his method are not compelled to
state the fact on their labels.
The present agitation has for it's
purpose the enactment of a meas
ire to remedy this defect.
If this movement proves sue
'essful every Gamer will have to
tate on his label if the peaches
10 used were peeled Ivy caustic
'oda or any other chemical That
# course will put the question
light up to the consumer. If they
would as soon eat fruit which has
'een soaked in I've they can do SO
Many of course will prefer to have
heir fruit handled in the good old
ashioned kitchen way, by knife
FEELING, which also means much
or the quality of canned fruit by
,eeping intact the original fruit
lavor.
The last two years have seen
,reat advance in the methods used
T. various canneries and with the
lew law a still further advance in
he direction of Wholesome pro-
lucti0n will be assured. When
he processes employed in Gamer .
es are known to be perfectly
wholesome, there will be a greater
se Of canned fruits and the final
esult will be profitable for all con-
erned, including the farmer who |
'ill get y greater market for his
rOduct.
