Canning or Drying Corn.

For canning on the cob, select corn OF
uniform ripeness and size and proceed
with the canning as soon as possible
after the corn is picked. II too ripe, the
corn will turn dark in sterilization and
| il will be rather hard and tough; il
not ripe enough, il will be fiat when
served. Remove husk, silk and shank
and any defective parts. Blanch the corn
in boiling water for six minutes and
plunge quickly into cold water for few
minutes. Pack in jars, alternating tips
and butts, add level teaspoonful of salt
to each quart and fill jars with boiling
water. Place tops in position, partially
tighten them and steriIize three hours
and half in boiling water. Remove
jars, tighten tops and invert TO cool in
place free from draughts.
Corn Off the Cob.-Blanch corn in boil
ing water for six minutes, plunge quick
ly into cold water for few moments
and cut the corn from cob with sharp
thin blsded knife, cutting half to two
thirds down the kernel and scrape out
remainder; always cut from tip towards
the butt. Fill jars at once to within a
quarter of an inch of the top, add
level teaspoonful of salt to the quart
and fill with boiling water. Adjust and
partially tighten tops and sterilize for
three hours and half in boiling water.
After complete sterilization, remove
from boiling water tighten tops and in
vert to cool in place free from draughts.
The whole process of canning corn should
be carried on as rapidly as possible.
Drying Corn OFF the Cob.-Prepare
corn as for canning and cut from cob or
without blanching, being careful to save
all the milk which is pressed out. Dry
the corn alone or mix it with sugar and
salt in a double boiler at the rate of
FIVE pounds of corn, half cup sugar
and one-fourth cup salt. Keep stirring
until milk is absorbed, spread mass on
plates or trays and dry in a slow oven,
7r in the sun, occasionally stirring to
prevent scorching if in the oven.

Problems Are Discussed.

Numerous problems to which the
council Of defense is expected to give
attention in the immediate future were
discussed at Thursdays meeting. A re-
port by DR.. William c. Woodward, Dis
trict health officer, explained his OBJ
servations as to market conditions,
which he and Charles F. Nesbit, chair
man of the committee on food supply
and conservation, had jointly investi
gated. His report dealt chiefly with
conditions ct the fish wharf and told of
alleged false reports as to prevailing
prices of fish. 1t suggested that a
means of acquainting the public with
correct prices be devised.
The report also advocated that the
opening hour of the markets should
be not earlier than am, because of
the alleged practice of dealers and
spectators in buying up all of certain
products and reselling them at an ad-
vanced price through the same mer-
chants.
The council gave consideration to a
statement made by Miss Hedges of the
bureau Of plant industry. to the effect
that cherries are rotting on trees in
nearby territory and peas and other
produce are being plowed under be-
cause there is not sufficient labor to
gather them. 1t was suggested that
effort be made to furnish the necessary
labor through the Boy and Girl Scouts
and the boys working reserve in order
that this food may not go to waste.
