which are withered or unsound. Wash
out all grit and dirt. If possible. use
only fruits and vegetables picked the

tables for blanching. Remove all spots

Blanch vegetables and all fruits ex-
cept berries by leaving them from
three to FIVE minutes in clean boiling
water, or by steaming them for sim
liar period in a colander over vessel

Remove the blanched products from
the boiling water or steam and plunge
them quickly into cold water, the cold
er the better. Take them out imme-
diately and let them drain. Don't let
them soak in the cold water.
From this point on, speed is highly
important. The blanched vegetables
and fruits, which are slightly warm,
must not be allowed TO remain out of
the containers a moment longer than
is necessary.

The waste of surplus fruits and veg
eiables in this country each year is
sarge. 1t would be deplorable if this
normal waste were allowed TO go on
this year when every ounce of food
that can be produced is needed. The
waste can be avoided in large part if
housewives win can as large part of
the surplus perishables as possible.
Any fruit or vegetable and practical
ly any other food may be canned sat

method of canning taught by the Unit

clubs in the northern and western
states. The homemade wash boiler

In order to conserve the supply of
tin cars, { is strongly urged that all
products intended for home use should
be put up, whenever possible, in glass.
The hermetic type of jar, however, is
not suitable one for intermittent
processing. for which the best type is a
