Waste Not. Want Not.

Washington, D. c., July 22.-Those
who Needed the advice of the United
states department of agriculture to
plant gardens this year are now Won
dering how best TO preserve their
surplus fruits and vegetables. The
specialists Of the department. who
have tried out various methods Tor
canning, preserving, drying, picking.
and making Jam, have recently issued
bulletins showing how this work may
be done successfully. Anyone can have
these publications for the asking, SO
ignorance of the proper procedure will
not serve as a legitimate excuse for
allowing any garden produce to spoil
this year.
Farmers Bulletin $50, Home Can
ming OF Fruits and Vegetables shows
-how fruit NAV be canned, especially
under conditions existing in the South.
Some products in that section, the
bulletin states. should be given inter
mittent sterilization. This consists OF
applying boiling temperature to prod
ucts already packed in containers for
a certain period on each of three sue
cessive days. The bulletin also gives
tried and tested recipes for making
jams, fruit buffers, marmalades, pre-
serves and jellies.
When canning Is not feasible or
cans and Jars are too expensive. dry
ing offers a means of saving large
quantities of surplus products which
60 to waste each year Drying also
affords a way of conserving portions
of food too small for canning. Dry
ing may be done in the sun. over the
kitchen stove. or before an electric
fan. Farmers Bulletin Sal tells how
to do this. using one OF the driers
now on the market or a home made
apparatus.
These bulletins are sent out upon
request to the division Of publications.
