CANNED BERRIES
Rv Mrs. F. s. Eubanks

Written for The Robesonian.
For dewberries, blackberries, and
raspberries, practically the same
methods of canning may be used. The
condition of the fruit will have much
to do with the quality of the pro-
duct. 1t is necessary to can all va
rieties of berries in glass or else put
them in enamel lined cans, because
if canned in ordinary tin cans the
berries will lose color and flavor very
quickly and if very acid frequently
will eat the tin. -,
The. flavor of canned berries viii
be finer if sugar is used in canning
1t is best to make this into syrup
about 1 IA lb. of sugar to IL gal
water. -.
Have your jars thoroughly sterillz
ed. Wash and pick berries and paci
solidly in jars. Pour over syrup, pu
on rubber, screw down lid about three
fourths tight. Put jar into came
in moderately hot water, the waite
not coming over half way. un on tn
lar. and after water reaches boiling
point exhaust three minutes. ScreV
down firmly the lid and boil for i
minutes.

AuutUCI~ ON " ToyCIbCSIIC
The tea room at "Ardlussa,' in
Cumberland county, conducted byMrs.
F. w. Vaughan, opened on Tuesday
afternoon, June IL. under most ia
vorable auspices. It is the purpose
of Mrs. Vaughan to conduct this room
during the entire summer from 5 to
8 p. m. daily. This will be great
convenience to the people of Lumber
ton in going by auto to and from
Fayetteville, since they can stop at
Ardlussa and get nice refreshments
at reasonable prices. There was a
goodly number Of people in attend
ance at the opening and the opins on
was universally expressed that the
enterprise would be a success from
the beginning.
The springs at Ardlussa are famous
throughout southeastern North Car
DINA for the health-giving qualities
of the water and many have wonder
ed on this account and because Of the
attractive location and environments
why the place has not been converted
into a regular resort with a preten
tious hotel on the property.-adv.

In an effort to carry out the
purpose of the act of Congress
providing funds for cooperation
in the employment of an agri-
cultural agent in every agricul-
tural county in the United States
the Department of Agriculture
and the extension divisions Of
most of the agricultural colleges
in the North and West are con-
Quoting a campaign to establish
a farm bureau in every agricul-
tural county. This campaign is
carried on in frank recognition
of the fact that the extension
workers and specialists of the
colleges and the department
need the help of farmers in the
great task Of planning to make
American agriculture more per-
manently prosperous while pro
noting the greatly increased
production which the worlds
needs so urgently demand.
Farmers are responding prompt
ly and heartily to this rapidly
developing attitude Of the agri-
cultural specialists. This was to
be expected; for farming is real
