she didn't care to make acquaintance

Besides cherries. there are apples, pears

We will can plenty of tomatoes, enough
to last through the winter, but we are
little skeptical about how successfully
other vegetables may be canned in a
farm kitchen. The Department of Agri-
culture says it can be done and gives de-
tailed instructions how to do it, but peo-
pie out our way who have tried to fol-
low these instructions have had only in
different results. Mrs. Brown tells us
that several years ago she put up forty
quart cans of lima beans as per instruc-
tons and lost every can.
Jane is not willing, however, to pass
up the vegetable canning proposition
without a trial, and she announces that
she is going to experiment with dozen
cans each of lima beans. string beans,
peas. succotaSh, corn and beetS, besldes
putting up cucumber and green tomato

she carries through this program and

which we are all fond.

Washington. July ls.-The Secretary
Of Commerce and tho Secretary of Agri-

their two departments will combine
In a constructive study or the supply

United states, which has now become
one of the big conservation and in

dustries which convert timber into

One OF the conditions which, In me
opinion OF the secretaries, makes this
study OF Immediate Importance. Is tho
fact that the United states. which con-
tains some 1900. 100000 feet OF
standing timber, is now reducing It's

Among the related Industrial and
business questions which will be con-

the foreign market for lumber and
