Principles and Methods
of Fruit and Vegetable Drying

When the food is sufficiently dry it
should be impossible to press water
out of the freshly cut ends. It should
not show any of the natural grain of
the product on being broken. but It
should not be dry enough to snap
or crackle. It should be leathery and
pliable.
Don't use a closed box. It will re-
tain the evaporation from the food
and cause mold.
Certain products, especially rasp-
berries, should not be dried hard, be-
cause If too much moisture is re-
moved from them they will not re-
sumo their original form on being
soaked in water.
On the other hand, dry the products
sufficiently or they will not keep, but
will mold Don't bake it or scorch 1t.
but dry it uniformly, through and
through.
This point cannot be stressed too
much.
It is advisable to Condition" prac-
tically all fruits and vegetables after
they have been dried Do this by
pouring them from one box to another
every day for three or four days, to
give them a uniform moisture.
II the material is found to be too
moist 1t should be returned TO the
drying trays for a short time.

BY GEORGE MARTIN.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-It is I'M
portant that you read this article
carefully because in it Uncle Sam
tells you how to avoid failure and
disappointment in your war conser-
walton food drying.
There arc three ways to dry fruits
and vegetables: sun drying. drying
by artificial heat and drying by air
blast. Yru may combine all three.
To be dried quickly and properly
all fruits and vegetables must first
be cut into slices or shredded be-
cause they are either too large to dry
quickly or are covered with a skin to
prevent drying.
In drying by artificial heat, expose
the food first to a gentle. then 20 a
greater heat. This prevents the cut
surfaces becoming scorched and hard,
thus covering the juicy interior and
preventing drying. Don't subject the
food to greater temperature than
145 degrees Fahrenheit. Get an oven
thermometer to keep track of this.
It is very important and must be
watched closely as the temperature
In a drier rises quickly.
The time required for drying varies.
Some vegetables can be dried in two
or three hours. Turn the food being
dried several times to secure uniform
dryness.

Former Governor Charles R. Miller.
Mayor John w. Lawson and Colonel
]. Warner Reed met at noon in the
mayors Office with the executive COM
mittee appointed to arrange for a fare
we'll demonstration for the State
troops. Nothing definite was decided
upon, but another meeting will be held
at $50 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
The present suggestion is, if the
troops go to the state Rife Range, to
try to have them brought back some
night for demonstration The plan
is to have a monster parade and then
have the soldiers march to Washing
ton Heights for a general jollification
outdoors. Or else, after the parade,
1t might be arranged to divide the
companies and send them to the diff
ferent halls in the city for a dance.
There is positive assurance Of a
substantial fund TO buy tobacco and
other necessary articles not provided
by the government for the Delaware
troops. Names of those who will make
this possible are not announced.
