By the cold pack method, however, all fruits can be successfully canned without sugar, it was explained. This cold pack method is one in which the product is sterilized after it is placed in jars and is found to be successful in canning fruits, vegetables and meat. By this method the products retain their natural flavor, color and texture and there is much saving of time and fuel.
 When canning fruits by the cold pack method, Mrs. Dean advised all women to can the products on the day they are picked. The operation is: cull. string and grade. Blanch in boiling water for two to five minutes. Remove and dip quickly into cold water. Pack in container. Add boil ing water to fill crevices. Add one level teaspoonful of salt to each quar- Partially seal. Sterilize, If in hot water bath, for 12O minutes. Remove jars tighten covers and pack away. For canning corn the recipe is to re- move the husks and silk and blanch on the cob in hot water for five to ten minutes. Plunge quickly into cold water and cut corn off cob with sharp knife. Pack in jar and follow above process except that it should be ster1 uzed in hot water bath for 18O min utes.
 Among the many important can ming suggestions made by Mrs. Dean are the following Be sure and steri- lize all jars and use only the best jars { No glass jars with rubber or metal in direct contact with the food is de- sirable unless cap is enameled or lacuuered. To test sealing rubbers l the rubber should be folded in half and if 1t does not crack it is proDapjS safe. Also, if the rubber. after being stretched, springs back into or1glna l shape.
