FOOD WASTE OF ABOUT

From Farmers Exchange Bulletin.
"For partial immediate relief, cv-

consider earnestly the matter Of food
conservation and the limitation OF
waste As nation We seem 20 have
a disdain of cconomizing. In many

nous.
"The food waste In the household,
the experts assert, results IN large
measure from bad preparation and
bad cooking, from improper care and
handling. and, in well-to-do families,
from serving an undue number Of
courses and an ovcr.abundant supply
and failing to save and utilize the food
not consumed. As AN instance Of i'm
proper handling. it is discovered that
in the preparation of potatoes 20 per
cent of the edible portion In many
cases is discarded. Secretary Of Ag-

COMMUNITY CANNING CLUBS.

From Farmers Exchange Bulletin.

In past years the thrifty housewife
has always laid by her winter reserve
Of canned fruits and vegetables. But
at this time there arises in the minds
Of many the question as to whether

high prices OF sugar, OF the products

To cut down the expense and to
make the work easier many Of the
women in various parts 81 the coun.

clubs These community clubs meet
at specified times in certain districts
where the product to be canned is
plentiful and all together do the
work of canning the product Each
lady has beforehand stated the
amount which she desires to pur-
chase. Sh" furnishes her own jars, or
containers and pays for whatever
product is used. OF course the details
for purchasing and cooking will vary
with the locality and local conditions.
For instance, fruit will be rather
scarce in the valley this year, yet
the Hope district will have an average
crop. Ladies' frnm certain communi-
ties could go out to Hope, and by this

The Department Of Agriculture has
sent out a warning in view Of a
threatened shortage Of preserving
jars and cans, and suggests utilizing
the following.
Glass bottles - especially wide
nccked ones-are useful for putting
up fruits. jellies, and preserves.
"Pu. up fruit juices in ordinary
