From present indications ths
crop of vegetables grown IN back

will be large. While most Of our peo-

generally been favorable anu the
Weld is destined to prove sat's1ac-
tory. Already some Alexandrlans are
procuring publications from the Ag-
ricultural Department in washington
which give formulas for canning
fruits and vegetables.
In the present food and labor situa-
ton, says Secretary Houston, Oh the
Department of Agriculture, no house
hold is justified in looking 20 others
to release it wholly from individual
responsibility and constructive &C,
ton in saving and conserving the
necessaries of life. A happy-go-lucky
: reliance upon the customary methods
of supplying our wants would be at
war with the conditions. The Grams :
!, portation system of the country Will
be ovcrburdened, and every locality
will be required to supply It's own
needs to a greater extent than ever
.hefore. And every individual Fam
lily will have to practice seif-heip IN
ian unwonted degree. Particular care
should: be taken that nothing is was
ted and that perishable eatables when
they are abundant are preserved
against winters want.
Tn plain terms, the long-overiooSed
home industry of canning, preserving,
picking and drying. will have to be
restored. The "cold pack" method Of
canning vegetables is simplicity it.

tin cans will be hard to get) are the
only equipment required; level
teaspoonful of salt for each quart jar
is the only preservative needed. The
vegetables are placed in the Jars
while cold, the jars placed in the
washboiler, covered with water one
inch over their lightly fastened tops
and the water is brought to boil.
Phis sterilizes the contents of the
jar and completes the process. The
period of heating and sterilization
varies: and the difference between
canning vegetables and canning fruit
is that in the case of the latter sugar
is substituted for salt. The simplicity
of the process makes it quite FEAST
Il tine--so, if there are a few her,
ries or string beans more in the
house than are required for the days

The probable scarcity Of jars us

drying advisable with respect TO ali
traits and vegetables that can he
preserved in this manner. Dried food
can be kept in paper bags, seated
against insects; and drying .s even
simpler than canning. Sliced vege-
tables and fruits are laid out IN the
sun, over a stove or before an cleo
trio fan. until the surplus water has
been driven out-that's all. Soaking
in water will bring back dried vegc-
tables practically to their Original
texture. and they may be cooked the
same as fresh ones.
