| CFrom FARMERS BULLETIN S41, United
States Department of Agricultural
! One of the most prominent features
of the food conservation program Of
| European countries has been the uni
yersal drying of fruits and vegetables
The surplus vegetables in the city mar
kets were forced by the governments
INTO large municipal drying plants.
Community dryers were established
In the trucking regions and even itin-
Grant. drying machines were sent from
farm to farm drying the vegetables
which otherwise would have gone to
waste. In addition, large quantities of
dried vegetables from Canada and this
country were shipped to France dur
ing the last two years, and there is a
possibility that dried fruits and vege-
tables may continue to be shipped
abroad in considerable quantities to
supplement the concentrated food diet
of the men in the trenches.
The drying of vegetables may seem
strange to the present generation, but
to our grandmothers it was no nov
city. Many housewives even today pre-
fer dried sweet corn to the product
canned by the old method, and say
that dried pumpkin and squash e:e *
cellent for pie making. Snap beans
often are strung on threads and dried
above the stove. Cherries and rasp-
berries still are dried on bits of bark
for use instead of raisins. In fact,
many of the everyday foodstuffs al
ready are dried at some stage Of their
preparation for market. The common
dried fruits, such as prunes, raislns,
figs, dates and apples, are staples in
the worlds markets, while beans and
other legumes, tea, coffee, cocoa, and
various manufactured foods, like
starch. tapioca. macaroni, etc, are
dried either in the sun and wind or In
specially constructed driers.
Even though the drying of fruits and
vegetables as practiced few decades
ago on many farms has become prac-
tically lost art" the present food
situation doubtless will cause a marked
stimulation of drying as means of
conserving the food supply This coun-
try is producing large quantities Of per-
ishable foods this year, which should
be saved for storage. canned, or prop
erly dried. Drying is not panacea
for the entire waste evil, nor should 1t
take the place Of storing or canning
70 any considerable extent where prop
or storage facilities are available or tin
cans or glass jars can be obtained
READILY and at low cost.

Advantages CT Drying.

The advantages of drying vegetables
are not so apparent for the farm home
as they are for the town or city house
hold. which has no root cellar or 9th
er place In which to store fresh vege-
tables. For the farmers wife the new
methods of canning probably VIII be
better than sun drying, which require
somewhat longer time. But shorter
methods of drying are available, and
the dried product holds an advantage
in that usually 1t requires fewer Jars,
cans, or other containers than do
canned fruits or vegetables also dried
material can be stored in receptacles
which cannot be used for canning.
Then, too. canned fruit and vegetables
freeze and cannot be shipped rs con-
yeniently in winter. Dried vegetables
can be compacted and shipped with a
minimum risk

Special Advantages.

To the housewife in the town the
drying of vegetables and fruits pre-
sents special advantages. During the
season when the market is oversup-
piled locally and prices are low she
can lay In stock, dry 1t, and put 1t
away for winters emergency without
It's taking up much of the needed small
storage space in her home. If she is
accustomed to canning her fruit and
vegetables and finds she cannot Sc
rure jars or tin cans, she can easily re-
sort TO drying.
With simple and inexpensive facill-
ties, all housewives can save quantl-
ties of food which are too small con-
venIently to can. A few sweet pota-
Toes or apples or peas or even a single
turnip can be dried and saved. Even
when very small quantities are dried
at a time, quantity sufficient for n
neal will soon be secured. Small lots
Of several dried vegetables, such as
cabbage, carrots, turnips, potatoes, and
onions, can be combined to advantage
for soups and stews.
Cleanliness is Big Factor.
Cleanliness Is as necessary In the
preparation Of vegetables and fruits
for drying as in their preparation for
canning, perhaps even more so. To
secure fine quality of dried products
much depends upon having the vege-
tables absolutely fresh. young, tender
ind perfectly clean. IL steel knives
are used in pairing and cutting have
them clean and bright so as not to dis
color the vegetable. The earthly smell
and flavor will cling to root crops II
| they are not washed thoroughly before
lihng, and ore decayed root may fla.
,or several kettles of soup If the slices

dried root vegetables can only be
made from peeled roots.

Preparing Food for prier.

In large factories the vegetables are
put through special shredders and
sicers not adapted for home use,
but convenient and inexpensive ma
chimes which can be used to great adj
vantage are on the market. The meat
used in certain cases; the common
kraut slicer will cut large vegetables
into thin slices. such as potatoes and
cabbage; and the rotary hand slicer Is
adapted for use on a very wide range
Of material. A large sharp kitchen
knife may be used when a handler
cutting device Is not available. Care
should be taken that the material is
sliced thin enough but not too thin.
From an eighth to a quarter of an
inch is fair thickness for most of
the common vegetables TO be sliced
and dried. Very small slices or strips
dry more quickly because they expose
a greater surface to the air than do
larger cut pieces. But if cut too fine
they are more difficult to handle in
drying, appear to lose somewhat in
flavor, and cannot be used so advan-
tageously to make dishes like those
prepared from the fresh foods.
The slicing machines are not suit
able for children's use, for they will
cut fingers as mercilessly as they do
vegetables and fruits. and even adults
should exercise great caution in their
use in the home.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1917-07-12

In The preparation OF large quant-
ties of potatoes peeler may be util-
lied. The potatoes are thrown by CEN
trifugal force against a rough surface
which, under streams of water provid-
ed by the perforated tin container
above, hicks off the outer skin and
leaves only the eyes to be dug out.
Blanching of vegetables is consid-
cred desirable by some housekeepers,
although it is not strictly essential to
successful drying. 1t is claimed that
the blanch gives more thorough
cleaning, removes the strong odor and
flavor from certain kinds of vegeta-
bles, and softens and loosens the fiber.
This allows the moisture in the vege-
table to evapofAte more quickly and
uniformly. 1t also quickly coagulates
the albuminous matter in the vegeta-
bles, which helps TO hold in the natural
havors. Branching consists of plung-
ing the vegetable into boiling water for
short time. Use a wire basket or
cheesecloth bag for this. After blanch-
ing the required number of minutes,
drain well and remove surface mOis-
ture from vegetables by placing be-
tween two towels or by exposing to
the sun and air for a short time.

INJUNCTION IS HELD
 ILLEGAL AFTER STRIKE

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. H. The Illionis state supreme court has reversed Judge Frederick Smith of the Cook county circuit court, who sentenced Jan Michalek, striking malleable iron worker, to 10 days in jail and to pay fine of $100 for violating an injunction. He was found guilty of causing the puDli- cation of strike notice and call for a meeting of strikers in Polish newspaper in Chicago.
 While Michalek will not go to jail tho fact remains that the strike was broken by the injunction, and the supreme court has lodged the request of the Chicago Federation of Labor, Michalek's defender, that it pass upon the right of a free press. The court cvades this re- quest, and makes no comment on
