Since the hoC Al fAe'ii'oe'0 ecu
 uorspIf'' campaign last fall, 1
 howe observed a marked increase
 in the production of food stufss,
 ,nd with that increase in pro-
 duction. a fearful waste in this ,sw food material. From this
 condition has arisen new de- mapds for preserving this sur nI1s of raw fruits and vegetables
 n eat and sell. The big market
 in Arkansas is the tables of our
 homes, hence, if we are to ad- vocate with much force the growing of these fruits and
 vegetable, we should also be able to advise as to the best methods of saving and marketing them. In discussing the question of the importance of saving home fruits and vegetables and before offering suggestions as to how t can be done it would seem practicable that we first discuss the use of canning outfits that | all farm homes possess, or, de- termine the extent of what can be done with what we have to do with.
 All farm homes possess 8 washpot, a reservoir or a lard can, any one of which may be used for canning fruits and vegetables by inventing a false bottom of wooden strips one inch wide by one-eighth thick nailed together like lattice work. If an ordinary sized Washpot is used the false bottom should be made large enough to hold 6 or 8 quart 1 jars. A lid should be provided for washpot or whatever is used for a reservoir for cooking pur- poses. Enough water should be added after the false bottom and Jars are placed to come to the lid of Mason jar.
 Another cheap outfit used for canning purposes by a great many canning club girls is a worn out zinc tub. In using this cut out the bottom, cut out Q door about Onches square on one side, and on the opposite side cut a hole large enough for the elbow of a stoVe pipe, add two joints of ppe and this will serve as fur mace. On top of this furnace paee a good tub, allowing the flm of the tub to fit over the one used as a furnace. The good tub IS to hold the water, or is eae reservoir. Inside the tub used as a reservoir, place another luo or the same size, cutting aooQt nine holes the size of a quatef I in the bottom of the 'Alfd tub, This tub is to be used as a tray in which will be paced the jars when ready for coOAlng. Use a sugar barrel cover for a lid, or any clean uoafds nailed together to fit. ene eIllclency of the above out l' may be increased by connect ns two one inch ripes to the OO'tom of the tub used as a 4 4esefVolr. This will add greatly :: O'ne heating capacity.
