and luscious to the taste The crop is
also unusually large about l,OO0,0 900
baskets. In years of heavy yield New
England peaches have been wasted-al-
lowed to rot on the ground This should
not happen this year. 1t is our patriotic
duty to prevent it if we can And we
can if we Will If New England people
housewives especially, knew the value OF
this New England crop, it would all be
marketed. Peaches may be preserved il
many ways-there are five different
methods OF drying them, all available il
almost any New England kitchen Be
sides canning, there are dozens of way;
they may be prepared for winter use
And recently discovered method vii
