monthly report issued by the state
board of agriculture. Wheat is thresh-

prospect for 1918 is 1899 per cent

STORING DRIED FOODS
Paper Bags Will Door Glass and
Tin Containers-Keep in Dry Place.
BY GEORGE MARTIN.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Now we come
to the packing and storing of the
fruits and vegetables you have dried.
Altho not necessary, tin cans or
glass jars make good receptacles for
storing dried products.
Pasteboe ard boxes with tight covers,
stout paper bags, and patented par
affin paper cartons also afford am
pie protection for dried fruits and
things, when protected from insects
and rodents.
The products must be protected
from the outside moisture and will
keep best in a cool, dry, well-ventil-
ated place. In humid regions, air
tight containers should be used.
If you pack just enough for a meal
in each container, it will not be neces-
sary to open a container the contents
of which cannot be consumed in a
short time.
If a paper bag is used the upper
part should be twisted into a neck,
bent over and tied tightly with Irvine.
