TIN PLATE CONSERVATION

Aberdeen, Md.
TO THE MARYLAND GAMER:
From the report of the Committee or
the Conservation of Tin Plate which
met in conference at the Department Of
Commerce, Washington, D. c., Nav
lst, the following recommendations
were endorsed by the Secretary of Agri-
culture and Secretary of Commerce.
TO THE FARMERS:
That they cooperate generously with
the Gamers of the country in the effort
to permit no falling off in acreage
planted to cannery crops, and that they
recognize fully the vast numbers of the
population of the United States and of
the world that have become dependent
on the food supply conserved yearly in
tin containers.
TO GAMERS:
Whether buying cans from can max
ers or making them for their own use.
that it shall be their patriotic duty, un-
til an accumulation Of sufficient supply
of cans to care for the perlshabe crops
shall be apparent, to abstain complete
ly from packing non perishable foods.
You are earnestly requested to show
each one Of your growers the clause ad
dressed to the farmers, and in addition
to this, see that every county paper in
your vicinity publish copy of same, 50
that the farmers and growers will clear
ly understand that it is their patriotic
duty to furnish the Gamer with all pro-
ducts possible for them to grow as fu-
ture requirements will undoubtedly
necessitate supreme effort on the part
of the grower and Gamer.
Will you do your part in giving this
publicity? |
Yours very truly,

Secretary Treasurer,

SAVE THE Surplus

One of the thoughtless ways of vast
ing good food material is by leaving it
untouched to rot or dry up in the gar
den or orchard when the supply seems
greater than the demand and laborers
are few. This year it is imperative
that all vegetables and fruits be gath
cred from every garden-the surplus
must substitute for canned goods that
may be desired but will probably not be
available on the market next winter.
II your garden at any time produces
more than you can use Immediately, do
not allow the surplus to spoil. Every
can of vegetables or fruit means that
you have saved food materials that
would have otherwise been wasted.
Even the ''culls" should be eaten or
canned for home use. The slogan
should be can Of vegetables and can
Of fruit for every day next winter
whenever it is possible to 'save the
surplus" it tends to lessen the demand
on the purse and the market thereby
lowers prices of other foods which must
be purchased
But the thrifty housewife asks how
she may 'save the surplus" when con-
tainers and sugar are as high as they
are at present. Fortunately some OF
the methods do not require both of these
articles.
SAVE BY DRYING
Our grandmothers used the very
economical method of saving by dry
ing foods-meats and fish were salted
and dried, while fruits and vegetables
were pared and placed in the sun or
above the CRATE fire to dry. Why can
not we follow their example, using our
modern warming ovens to start the pro-
cess for vegetables and fruits and fin
ishing them in the sunshine?
SAVE BY CANNING WITHOUT SUGAR
Much of our canned fruit can be done
without sugar, for preservation depends
not upon sugar but upon thorough
sterilization and perfect sealing from
the air. A small amount of sugar may
be added when opened for serving. This
method is preferred. to the sweetened
fruits when they are to be used in de3-
serts such as pies and puddings.
The perishable garden vegetables
such as beans, peas, corn, squash and
greens are readily saved by using the
cold-pack canning method and the fam
lily wash boiler.
CONTAINERS
Old glass fruit cans are perfectly
good to use again if they are boiled and
fitted with new rubbers Save all fruit
cans for the preservation of bulky pro-
duce and use large medicine bottles for
fruit and vegetable juices.
SAVE THE JUICES
Vegetable pulp and juices, snch as
tomato and corn, are very helpful in
f1avoring other foods and in the prepa-
ration of cream soups. Fruit juices
contain the most beneficial part of many
of our fruits, hence the goodness Of the
fruit is preserved to be served on cereals
or puddings next winter Jelly making
is another good way Of using fruit juices
to advantage if sugar is available.
INFORMATION ON CANNING
Detailed instructions may be obtained
from the States Relations Service,
Washington, D c. by asking in writing
for pamphlets on methods and receipts
for canning vegetables and fruits at
home. Send for these pamphlets and
then make this matter of saving the
surplus an every family concern.

Not Always Happy.

It is customary but I think it is a
mistake, to speak of "happy" child
hood. Children are often overanxious
and acutely sensitive. Man ought to
be man and master Of his fate; but
children are at the mercy of those
around them. Mr.. Rarey, the great
horse-tamer, has told us that he has
known an angry word to raise the
pulse of horse ten beats in a minute.

The report of the State Board of
Agriculture for 1856 has been print
ed and copies may be secured by address,
ing the Board, at Dover. The report
gives the result of examination of field
seeds in 1916. These results indicate
that it is very important for farmers to
know whether their seeds are pure and
whether they will grow and it is sug-
gested that samples be sent to the
Board for examination. The seeds will
be examined'and report made on them
