WILD BL4CKBERRIES
FOR THE TROOPS
Demand for Jam Offers Chance for Chill
dren to Practice Patriotism
and Earn Money.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 27.-Wilc
blackberries picked by children win hell
the army and navy to get the clever
million pounds of blackberry jam they
must have. In view of the shortage Of
cultivated backberries, the United
States department of agriculture urges
the women and girls and boys to gather
all the wild blackberries than can find
to supply commercial canning establish
ments.
Blackberry jam is particularly desir-
able because it has medicinal qualities
which counterfeit certain intestinal trou-
bles in addition TO its welcome place in
the diet as a sweet.
The wild fruit is not as PUPPY and is
likely to be more seedy than the Gull
tivated varieties, but there is an album
dance in many of the northern states
The difficulty of getting help on com
mercial scale has prevented the gather.
ing of the wild berries, but if the chill
dren can be enlisted to do their patriotic
part, it will give the packers chance
to supply what the military authorities
need. 1t is also pointed out that at
the prevailing prices they may get good
money return for their time and la
Dor.
In each community some local grocer
should be able TO learn the name of
manufacturer who may be willing to
buy the berries. In New York, for ex-
annie the canneries are So numerons
throughout the state that little trouble
should be experienced in finding a mar
ket.

In the case of the very young and tens
der sugar peas the whole pod may be
used Wash the fresh material, cut in
fourth inch pieces, blanch for six min
utes, olddip and spread in thin layers
on trays the same as for the whole peas.
After drying, the whole material should
be conditioned by pouring from one con-
tainer TO another every day for three or
four days so as to have a uniform cons
tent of moisture. If too moist, return to
drier till cured.
The dried products should be stored in
moisture-pro boxes or bags in cool, dry
places free from insects and vermin, and
for convenience the containers should be
labeled.

1t is decided economy to buy a

and to let them get dry before using, for
new, soft cakes wear away very fast
And it is well to pile the soap up, lay

apart, and others over the space thus
formed, and so on. The idea is to have
as much air circulating about the cakes
as possible to dry and harden them.

highest egg production obtained In any
Of the feeding experiments up to 1915

The Leghorns produce smaller eggs
