SECRETARY OF ACRICTvTTyrpR
URGES EVERY HOUSEHOLD
TO CAN AND DRY SUR
PLUS FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES

Every housewife this year should
restore to her home the often over
looked home industries Of cannino
preserving, picking, and drying Of
perlshable fruits and vegetables. The
large number Of new backward gard
ems which have been planted this
year shortly will begin to Weld their

Deets, sweet corn, and tomatoes. The
regular supply also will reach the mar
kets and, as happens each summer,
the local supply at times will exceed
immediate consumptive capacity. Not
TO conserve much of this surplusage
OF valuable food would be sinful waste
The present food and labor situa-
tions are such that no household is
justified in looking to others to release
II wholly from individual response
bility and constructive action in say
ing and conserving food. All any
home should expect of others is to
supply those fods which can not be
produced effectively by it's own men,
bers. The railroads will be burdened
with the transportation of staple
foods and civil and military neces-
saries from localities of production
and manufacture to districts incapable
OF supplying their own needs. It fol-
lows that all locally produced foods,
conserved by home methods, lessen the
winter pressure on transportation
agencies and also release similar
products Of factories for other pur-
poses.
urge every household, therefore, tc
can al lsurplus perishable products fol
which they have containers and X
dry and keep in paper any additiona
surplus suitable for such preserva
tion.
Canning calls for no special skill
and for little equipment beyond wasl
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 i
the sun, over a range or gas stove
or before an, electric fan. Homemad
shallow trays of wood or heavy wir
screen are the chief equipment re
Iquired. Drying is a tirne-tried HON

CORN LOSES QUALITY QUICKLY

In order to obtain the very highest
quality Of sweet corn, it ia necessary
that the corn be delivered into the
hands of the consumer in very few
hours after harvesting. Sweet corn
will lose 80 per cent Of its sweetness
in IL hours. Corn pulled in the even
ing, as is the case with most of the
marketed products, and placed on sale
the next day cannot compare in quail
ity with corn harvested in the morn
ing and sold to the consumer before
noon. Corn which must, by forced
circumstances, be harvested in the
evening should be handled in such way
as to avoid large piles. When placed
in large heaps or in barrels it Is
likely to heat before morning. Heat
ing hastens detoriation.

POTATO RESTRICTION REMOVED

Restrictions on inlportations of po-
tatoes into the United States from
Canada and Bermuda are removed af-
ter July / under an amendment to
regulations Of the Federal Horticul-
tural Board, signed recently by the
Secretary Of Agriculture. The amend
ment also permits the importations Of
potatoes from any foreign country in
to Hawaii for local use only.
The ruling in regard to Bermuda
and Canada is based on the fact that
inspection Of potatoes imported from
those two countries during the last
three years has shown that no serious
potato diseases not already occurring
in the United States exist in those
regions.
Potatoes for local consumption are
to be allowed to enter Hawaii from
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1917-07-13

any country, since few potatoes are
grown on the islands, and there Il
therefore little danger Of diseases
damaging local truck crops. All ship
meats Of potatoes arriving in Hawaii,
however, still will be inspected before
they can be removed from the docks.
The quarantine against potatoes
from Newfoundland and the islands Of
St. Pierre and Miquelon, on account Of
the potato-wart disease, remains In
full force and effect.
