ENOUGH GLASS JARS.
Manufacturing Capacity of One Type
of Jar is S5,O0o,oOO During Next Hun
dred Days.

Reports received by the United States
department of agriculture indicate that
there will be enough glass jars, new and
old together, during the entire canning
season TO take care of the bulk of the
pcrishablc fruits and vegetables.
Manufacturers state that of one type
of jar alone 100000 gross have been
distributed during the present season.
The manufacturing capacity for this
| type of jar is approximately 5000 gross
per day, or S5,000000 jars during the
next hundred days, and the capacity
can be increased if necessary.
Manufacturers of other types of glass
containers are prepared, it is stated,
to turn out many thousand gross a day.
Two weeks ago glass companies were
ready to Distribute Immediately enough
containers to hold over 1S,000,00O
quarts of fruits and vegetables.
The new jars TO be manufactured in
time for this season S canning, it is cs-
|timatcd, will enable American house
wives to put up over 2,000000 pccks of
beans, corn, peas, tomatoes, peaches,
plums, pears and apples, raised in home
gardens or bought in the market when
the supply is plentiful.
These figures do not take into account
the great quantities of jars in stores
and on housewives shelves.
Any kind of bottles, old or new, that
can be properly sealed can be used in
stead of cans or jars for conserving
many pcrishablc food products, accord
ling to experts of the department of az
riculturc. While glass or crockcry Jars
provided with sealing devices are need

Rain Was a Great Benefit.

The heavy shower Wednesday night
was an immense benefit to the gardens,
but came too late to save many plots of
beans and potatoes, which had dried up
during the dry spell. The potato yield
on many pieces is very light and in
some instances the planters will not
much more than get their seed back.
