Be Canny.
Get that canning impulse.

Get that canning impulse.
Make your hoe this summer;
keep your can opener busy next
winter.
Regrets are the only things
ever canned in the jars you for
got to order.
Can nothing that can be kept
without canning. Dry such veg
etables as corn, string beans,
navy beans, mature lima beans,
okra, etc.
You can brag about your gar
den all winter if you have your
canned evidence on the dining
table.
Concentrate products especial
ly soup mixtures, so that each
container will hold as little wa
ter as possible. 4
Really there is nothing to can
ming fruits and vegetables ex-
cept care, cleanliness, fresh
products, jars and heat.
Home canning is kitchen pa
triotism.
Canned fruits and vegetables
help fight the blues.
Let empty cans and fairs wait
for fruit. Don't try to make
fruit wait long for containers.
Home preparedness cans load
ed with food.
The awful question: What
shall have for dinner?" is cas-
lily answered if your shelves are
full of home-canned products.
If you have more preserving
jars than you can fill, lend them
to neighbor who will make
them work for the nation.
You put a lid on waste every
time you seal a preserving jar.
