WHY TWO TOAVS OF BREAD COST FIVE CENTS In IF1S lOWE

81 wish to start another friendly riv,
among you to find out who can raise ths !.
garden for his winter needs. There are o..
ways to keep vegetables and fruit for wi,,.'
First, can them; second, dry or evaoo,.
them; third, store them in cellar just as a.
come from the garden.
Here is list of vegetables you NAV -.
It is only a suggestion. Every family -
want TO change it to meet its own needs Va.
tables to can:
Corn, tomatoes, string beans, lima be,,,
peas, cucumbers for pickles.
among these the tomatoes are the nos, =.
sential, for they are staple in SOUPS and -.
binationS with rice and macaroni that ara :.
pecially good during the cold months. A snls,
did bulletin about the canning Of toma,os. !;
the home has been published by the Agricrh
ural Department. 1t is Farmers Bulletin y.
52l, which can be had on application to tbe !.
partment at Washington, or which our os..
can loan to interested persons.
EVAPORATE THE VEGETABLES
THE next list Of vegetables is suggests =.
drying or evaporation. This process va, me-.
before canning became the fashion. Many :.
the old-fashioned housewives know all abOn, :
Hundreds of people believe that dried co,,
is far superior to the canned product. Il !,
certainly far less expensive. Fruit and ws.
tables can be dried or evaporated in an ave.
if steady, slow fire is kept up. 1t can b. =.
complished satisfactorily in the sun if the ii
ticle is covered with a netting to keep Of 4.
flies.
THE Department Of Agriculture is eivi,
demonstrations in Washington TO popular,I
this method with the housewife Of today. T,
department will furnish information glas
upon application to its canning departme,
If your husbands are clever they can make "
little ovens that will fit on the stove in Sy
a way that the heat will be carried eve,
around the vegetables held on CRATES This /.
been done for one woman in our vicinity v.
has used this home device successfully s
years.
"A partial list Of vegetables that are goa
dried follows:
"a
beans, pumpkin, squash
MANY fruits are delicious dried Il
cheaper to keep them way than in can
Apples, peaches and cherries are among the, |
We let hundreds Of bushels of these fruits II
to waste every season throughout this COUNT
for lack of picking up. During this cOmn,|
season, which is bound 10 see greater want thai
the world has ever yet known, this waste woG
be criminal.
THE last way we will consider for keeping
vegetables for winter use is to store them in al
COOL dark cellar Most of you can arrange
such place at little expense. Considering the
returns it will yield you it is worth some effort
Vegetables that will store well are:
"Turnips, onions, carrots, celery, endiye, %
tatoes, Hubbard squash.
"The vegetable cellar should furnish t'
mainstay of the table supply from ThanksgIT
ing until May.
"In our own family we had all these vegs
tables stored last year from our home garce-
We have not bought vegetable in year. II
deed, can't remember when our grocery bl
contained fresh vegetables.
IF properly picked and packed, apples VI
last until June, and they are worth the trouoA
Now, my plan that | want TO submit TO go
is as follows: Every man who enters TINS co,
test must consider it family affair His VII
will have to do the canning, and his chlldre
will keep the weeds out of the vegetables.
Each family should draw up a list Of veg
tables that it will need for its winter use, a,
calculate how many vegetables will be require
TO fill this order.
"For instance, one basket of tomatoes "
fill eighteen quart cans. How many quarts
tomatoes do you need for winter? How MAJ
tomatoes can you grow on a vine under ".
III ra+. II
need to set out?
$50 through the list Of vegetables you vi:
to raise. Calculate how large a crop you WE
and how many plants you will need to produ'
this crop.
"a prize of SO will be given TO the gardent
who comes the nearest to carrying out b
plan"
With this speech the movement was starte
Great enthusiasm was manifest over the pota'
contest. Other factories Joined the moyemeI
and it became town topic.
1t is getting popular TO talk about how cheal
ly one can live well for a day, instead Of groai
ing over how large an item necessities have b
come. And the end is not yet.
