SWEET CORN AT ITS BEST NOW. State Council of Defence Tells How lt May Be Kept For Winter Use.

The following information is put out by the Committee of Food Supply of the State Council of Defence.
 Sweet corn is just at it's best now l and this is the time to put down a SUD- ply for winter, Even if one hasn't a garden, it may be possible to order in quantity from the producer and so get it fresh and reasonable in price. Corn may be canned by the "cold pack" method of canning. Method of Canning: Can the same day as pick

 in jars. Do not pack too closely as
 corn swells when cooking. Leave
 three quarters inch space in the top of
 the jar. Add one level teaspoon of
 salt to each quart, and sufficient hot
 water to fill. Place rubber and top
 in position; seal r>'tially hut not

Caution: Do not use any kind of canning powders; they are unsafe.
 Dried Corn; Many people prefer dried corn and it is one of the easiest products to dry. Some housewives when getting the dinner supply pick a dozen or so extra ears and dry them either as the dinner is coolzing-if there is room in the oven-or on the stove or let dry while the after-din- ner work is being done and the fire is dying down, if one uses a range. Corn may be started in the oven to dry out and then be finished in the sunshine. Do not have the oven temperature over 145 degrees F.
