Sun Drying is
Simplest Form of
Food SaOing

Simplest form of food conserva-
ton, sun drying. is to place pieces
OF food on sheets of paper or mus
lin and expose them to sun, says to-
days bulletin from the national
emergency food garden commission
of Washington, which is cooperating
with The News Times in a nation
wide campaign TO save food. At all
times care should be taken to pro-
tect the product from moisture. and
along towards evening the material
should be taken indoors. The food
should be carefully covered with
CheeSeclOth 10 protect from insects
Once or twice a day the material
should be turned and the dried
pieces removed. No exact time can
be given for drying but a little ex-
perience will soon make il easy TO
determine when the products are
sufficiently dried. When first dried
vegetables should be rather brittle
but not so dry as 10 snap or crackle,
and fruits rather leathery and plia-
BILE. Product will mold If not dried
enough.
BY Artificial Heat.
In drying by artificial heat,
cloth or wire trays may be suspend
ed over the range or dishes of food
may be placed in the oven. or spec
tally constructed driers may he
made or purchased. In oven dry
ing the fOodstuffs may be placed on
dishes or wire screens in a slow oven
with the door partially open. For
drying over a stove, a single tray
or series Of trays may he suspended
by a wine. or specially constructed
driers may be placed directly upon
the top of the stove. In drying by
this process. care should be taken
that the temperature is not too
high.
Drying by air blast takes advan-
tage Of the electric fan or some sim o.
liar device for creating a current Of
air and directing il along a series Of
trays stacked one above the other.
The number Of trays is regulated by
the size Of the fan. A combination
of this method with sun drying
gives excellent results. Drying by
this process may be done in "a

Proper packing and storage is Of
great Importance. Tin cans and
