the Home Drying Manual, published by
the National Emergency Good Garden
Commission, by writing to the commits
sion at 2l0 Maryland building, Wash
ington,
This manual will give you q great
deal more detail about drying than this
series of articles, which is merely in
tented TO give you the principal facts
about the drying system.
Your meat grinder, your kraut slicer
and your hand chopper will do admir-
ably to prepare the foods you want to
dry. The sicer will cut large vege-
tables, such as potatoes and cabbage.
into thin strips. Then there is rotary
hand sliccr which you can buy that will
help a lot.
If you dom t want to buy these
things, use sharp kitchen knife.
Slice the foods thin, but not too thin.
From an eighth to quarter of an inch
is about right for most foods to be
sliced.
If they re sliced thicker than this

Cleanliness is as necessary in prepar-

Have your knives clean so they

knew what we were fighting for. and ne

Land Bank For Baltimore.

Baltimore has been selected as one Of
the twelve cities for farm loan bank.
which win have charge Of the work Of
extending loans TO farmers under the Rural
Credits Act The Baltimore Bank District.
to be known as District No. 2. is composed
Of Maryland. Delaware. Penasylvanis. Viz
einia. West Virginia and the District Of
Columbia.
Upon this subject the Baltimore News
edItorislly says:
This city is. Of course. to be coneratu-
lated over its selection as one Of the Farm
Bank centers- AS the system grows. Bal
timore ought to be drawn more and more
closely in touch with the agricultural field
centered here. And yet Maryland. Pennsyl-
Vania. Delaware. Virginia, West Virginia
and the District Of Columbia do not compose
a district Of exalted agricultural POSSIBLE
ties. Its farms are old and well established.
II is fairly thickly populated. with good Dor
rowing facilities already. The farmer in
il has not much difficulty today in placing
q mortgage on uniDcumbered property on
reasonably satisfactory terms. He can do
IL without consulting his neighbors and
certainly without waiting until nine or
more Of his neishbors feel impelled to join
with him as borrowing club. all actuated
by motives which viii stand the scrutiny
Of board whose duty it is to pass upon
the purposes for which loans are made.
The farmer will not be able to borrow
from the Land Bank to buy Ford. This
is one Of the things to be remembered.
But he can do 80 to build barns, buy reap
ers OF fertilizers or fences or even new
land. provided, apparently. that there are
nine or more other farmers in his commu-
nifty equally ambitious and forward with
schemes Of improvement
This association idea is the basis of
the system. That its development requires
considerable educational effort goes with
out saying. IL is very satisfactory to have
one Of the banks located here: but TO get
full profit from il means missionary work
and IL success comes. 1t win be marked less
in increased financial transactions or closer
relations between the city and rural COM
munities than in wholesale improvement
In agricultural conditions. from housings to
crops. throughout the district"
