CANS AND CANNING

Double Your Canning Output" is
the word that has been passed down
to every housekeeper in the land by
the national agricultural department,
along with the injunction to farmers,
gardeners and town-dwelers to in
crease the output of food to the ut
termost The enormous amount of
food that goes to waste every year
in culls and over-ripes has caught
their attention and shocks them as 1t
has shocked many for years who have
observed this species of unthrift.
Canning requires cans. Thirty per
cent Of this country's food is canned.
American canneries expected to put
up an aggregate Of seven billions Of
cans Of food this year. A host Of
canning clubs and individual house
wives expected to do their best. But
some three months ago the prospect
that the country would have cans
enough to meet the demand seemed
small and diminishing Then the
United States department of agricul-
ture and department of commerce
took hold Of the situation with vigor
Orders were issued. at their solicita-
ton, by the car service commission
to the railroads to put Gamers sup
plies on the preferred list, tinplate
manufacturers were induced to speed
up the making of tin-plate and give
the can makers the preference. The
war and navy departments were re-
quested to put the supplis for steel
billets for making tin-plate on the
same basis as those for armor and
shells. Packers were asked to use
no more tin cans for putting up non.
perishable and non-food products
Finally the two departments named
called a conference of representatives
Of all Industries connected with the
production of the tin can to consider
measures to conserve the supply OF
plate. cans and perishable foods. &C

ton of starvation there is a very re-

the world will lok in vain for revo-

least during the period OF the war.
On the other hand German in
trigucs in every country, large and
small, are working at supreme effort
in sowing seeds of discord. Those
who know the South are well aware
of the effort put forth the past few
months in all the Southern States to
incite the colorcd people to an upris-
ing against the whites one of the
many rewards promised being that
laws would be passed authorizing
marriage between black and white, in
that near future when Germany
should be in control here. That the
colored people of the South refused
to be disloyal to their country Is
creditable to their good sense and
patriotism, but the attempt did not
fail for want of earnest efforts on the
part of our enemies.

cording go Harry Snowdern Stabler,
who tells the story more in detail in
The Country Gentleman which we
here outline. At this conference a
committee of seven was appointed
composed of one each from the two
departments the tin-plate, can and
packing industries, the National Can
ners' Association and the National
Wholesale Grocers Association, to be
styled the can conservation commit
tee and to serve during the year.
This committee has issued report
endorsing the suggestions of the two
departments that for sixty days the
packing of non-perishable or non-food
products be suspended. 1t was
thought that in that time the can
manufacturers might catch up with
the demand in view of the prospects
for a largely increased output 1t is
fine example of the energy which
has been put into the matter of food
conservation.
Meanwhile the department of agri-
culture is drawing attention to and
describing other means of putting up
perishable foods for future use, as
told in the columns of the Times I'm
ion. Some of these will appeal to
those who cannot provide themselves
with canning outfits and will also add
to the amount ffoodonTdcptsEog-
to the amount of food on store when
the expected pressure comes next
winter. They are methods which
men and boys can put in practice, en-
bracing scientific drying and fermen-
tation. All methods help in provid-
ing a dependable stock of food.
Those who only put up. some for
their own use are helping somewhat,
for they will have the less food to
buy, but those who are conserving
a surplus supply are aiding in dis
charging Americas duty to feed our
soldiers when in camp or on the fir
ing line.
Perhaps there will soon be suffi-
cheney of tin cans, economically
used The fact that bottles and 9TH
er receptacles for food which are
made of paper pulp and paraffined
are being used commercially to con-
tain such articles as milk and syrup,
and serve the purpose well, suggests
that we are not employing our re-
