Women Can Help to Conserve Foods.

Women Can Help to Conserve Foods.
Women can be Of great service in
helping to supply the world with food
by giving special attention to the saw
ing Of orchard and garden crops. ...
By canning surplus beans, peas,
corn, tomatoes, beets, spinach, pump
kins and squash.
By canning or preserving apples,
peaches, pears, cherries, ounces, ber-
ries and wild fruits. ...
By canning or storing root crops,
cabbage and other vegetables properly
so that they may keep through the
coming winter or even longer.
Every can of vegetables or fruit
means the saving Of food material that
might be otherwise wasted.
To meet possible shortage in jars
and cans, all glass bottles, especially
wide-necked bottles, should be saved
and used for fruits, pickles and pre-
serves. The regular jars and cans can
then be reserved for vegetables or for
soups and meats.
