When CANNING for Market.

Housewives and canning club men,
bers who wish to sell their canned
products are Urged by the bureau Of
markets. United States department of
agriculture, to study their markets at
the beginning of the season and pack
according to local demands for differ
ent products. Secure orders for canned
goods before putting them up, is the
advice Of the specialists. Small lots
of nonstandardized products are diff
cult to sell except among local buyers
and are not purchased by the army,
navy, commercial dealers, or any de-
pnrtment of the government.
Home-canned food can be kept over
from one season to the next, and those
who have not sold their goods have
reserves to draw from for their home
table. 1t is good policy. say the spe-
cialists, for the housewife to provide a
reasonable surplus beyond the prob
able home consumption for the next
crop year. While the bureau of mar
kets is giving aid to producers on mar
keting problems, 1t says that 1t is diff
cult to place producers of small guam
titles of different kinds Of products in
touch with buyers.

Max. Sweet Potato Flour.

Sweet potatoes, dried and ground
into flour in an ordinary kitchen
coffee grinder, can be used in a variety
Of ways in cooking. Specialists Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture believe that in many localities
where sweet potatoes are abundant
the making Of sweet potato flour in
the home may furnish practical way
to save the sweet potatoes from spoil
ing. The flour will keep well in dry
containers.
To make the flour the potatoes
should first be cut into small length
wise pieces and thoroughly dried. A
small drier that fits On top Of the
oven or warming closet Of a range or
gas stove can be used. II an electric
fan is available 1t will serve admir-
ably: The nut knife of meat grinder
also can be used for this purpose
Flour made by such process can be
kept for some time II put into a dry
container, or the flour may be made
from the dry potatoes as it is needed.
A quart of the dry potatoes makes a
cup of flour.
The use of sweet potato flour in
cake or bread making will materially
reduce the amount of other flour used.
The proportions may be half and half.
When used in cakes the sugar could
also be reduced little. Sweet potato
flour Is useful as a thickening agent,
having the same value in this respect
as cornstarch. Recipes for the use
of sweet potato flour have been tested
and found to be excellent by food spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.

Educating the Farmer.

The use of motion pictures in con-

things done on farm. More than 5000

The station agent at Highland wired
his division superintendent ''four cars
strawberries to Chicago" The super
intendent added these four cars to fig-
ures received from other station
agents, and wired the total to the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton.
The agent at Highland wondered
why anyone should want to know
about cars Of strawberries moving to
Chicago. A few years ago his Uncle
Henry had ''gone broke" raising
strawberries because he couldn't sell
them for enough to pay his expenses.
While he was wondering about this,
messages were coming to Washington
from all railroads and soon word was
flashed back to points in producing sec
tions showing that total Of 10 cars Of
strawberries We're on the way to Chi
cago, and that comparatively few ship
ments were going to other important
markets.
Shipment Diverted.
"Forty cars will swamp the Chicago
market tomorrow" said a strawberry
man. who received the wire from
Washington, and ne reached for the
telephone. Messages went to railroad
officials to divert certain cars headed
for Chicago to other cities where
strawberries were lot abundant.
Next day Chicago received only 20
Gears of strawberries instead of the
40 that would have gone there except
for the market news service of the
bureau of markets. Chicago could
use 20 cars but not 40. and because
the other 20 cars went to different
that gave them profit on their ship
ments.
Helping the Uncle Henrys.
Guesswork in marketing of fruits
and vegetables has gone. The market
news service is working for many
"Uncle Henrys" and also for dealers
and consumers. No one profits when
vegetable than 1t can consume, and
as n means of correcting such II condi
tion 1t Is necessary to know how much
produce is en- route to that city.
The market news service for fruits
and vegetables, with its many agents
md with assistance from railroad Off
cials, gives daily n picture Of market
conditions throughout the country for
both shipper and dealer and places
this picture in the form Of typed re-
port in the hands of all persons inter-
ested. The bureau of markets uses
leased wires to gather this informa-
tion and furnishes market news, in
cluding prices and supplies, to more
than $4,000 individuals in 80 states.
