Two complete divisions (forty thous.

Decentralization is spreading among the

allow them to be bruised and crushed.
They should be uniform. ripe, and
sound. Select only large, firm berries
for preserving: the smaller and brok-
en- ones may be used for making jam.
All berries should be carefully sorted
and lightly washed by placing in .
colander and pouring water over them
rather than putting them into pan
Of water.
To retain the best possible color
and flavor, syrup for preserved berries
should be made OF berry juice OBJ
tanned by crushing. heating and
straining the softer, broken berries.
