CAN AND DRY
ALL SURPLUS
Secretary of Agriculture urges House.
holds to Can and Dry Fruits
And Vegetables

WASHINGTON, June 23.-"EYery
housewife this year should restore to
her home the often overlooked home
industries of canning. preserving,
picking and drying of perishable
fruits or vegetables" said David F.
Houston. Secretary of Agriculture, to-
day. THE large number of new back
yard gardens which have been planted
this year shortly will begin to yield
their extra harvest of beans, peas.
carrots, beets, sweet corn, and to-
matoes. The regular supplies also will
reach the markets and, as happens
each summer, the local supply at
times will exceed immediate consump.
tive capacity. Not to conserve much
of this surplusage of valuable food
would be sinful waste.

lions are such that no household is

lease 1t wholly frim individual respon'

ing and conserving food. All any
home should expect of others Is to
supply those foods which can not be
produced effectively by its own mem

Il urge every household. therefore.
to can all surplus perishable products
for which they have containers and
to dry and keep In paper any addi-
tional surplus suitable for such pre-
servation. :
Canning calls for no special skill
and for little equipment beyond
wash boiler and jars. Fresh products.
cleanliness and heat are the chief re-
quirements, as even sugar is not es-
sential for canning fruits under mod
ern procedure. Fruits and vegetables,
moreover, can be dried efficiently in
the sun, over a range or gas stove, or
before an electric fan. Homemade
shallow trays of wood or heavy wire
screen are the chief equipment re-
quired. Drying is a time-tried home
industry; conservation Of food by dry
ing is largely matter of restoring
to the home great meth
cd of seeing that her family had good
food in winter as a relief from a mon
otonous diet Of root vegetables. Can
ming and drying can be practiced as
effectively in city house or apart
ment as on a farm or in suburban
dwelling.
Canning, of course, already is a
profitable industry for women and chill
dren in thousands of homes and
trust will become almost universal
this season. To aid the home conser-
walton movement, the department Of
agriculture has issued new farmers
bulletin on home canning and another
on home drying of fruits and vege-
tables. These free pamphlets should be
read and followed in every household
which wishes to translate patriotic i'm
pulse into concrete service"

OF 1t was shipped out OF the state by

Nevada people should get busy
with Senator Pittman and make their
recommendations to him. The senator
has been working ardently to have
some action taken toward lettering
the conditions and enlarging the Car
son assay Office or reopening It as a
mint ever since the legislature passed
a resolution asking him to do so. OF
course congress is the place where
the real battle will be fought.
II stand ready now. as always
have in the past, to do my bit for Ne
vada and am willing to go the limit

must have something tangible on
which to base any such action and 1t
is up to the people to provide this.
an so far as the establishment OF
an internal revenue district in Ne
vada is concerned / know nothing per-
sonally except that Senator Pittman
has been working earnestly on the
movement. He has been hampered to
considerable extent because the
Liberty Loan and other war time en-
terprises have occupied the whole
attention Of those government de-
partments and officials who have the
final say in the matter.

News and Views OF Plsgah.

Pisgah, May 4.-Generally there is
good stand of cotton. The late
planting Is not up, owing to the dry
weather. Corn looks very we'll. If we
don't raise it, we will go hungry next
year and deserve to be If it is our
fault. The peach trees are loaded
with young peaches and with no dis
aster there will be fine crop. Every
thing for man and beast is being plant
ed by the wide-awake planters. OF
course there are lot of people that
never think of the future and will
continue to live from hand to mouth,
as they have always done with no
ambition to better their condition.
Such people are beyond the reach of
reason. With the bright prospects
ahead, I hope we can feed ourselves
next year without always depending
on the west for our living in a large
measure.
