Reasons For Drying Fruits And
s Vegetables

One OF the most prominent features
OF the food conservation program Of
European countries has been the uni
versal drying Of fruits and vegetables.
The surplus vegetables in. the city markets
We're forced by the Governments into
large municipal drying plants. Com
munlty drlers were established in the
trucking regions and even itinerant
drying machines were sent from farm to
farm drying the vegetables which other
wise would have gone to waste. In
addition, large quantities Of dried veg
etables from Canada: and this country
were shipped to France during the last
two years, and there is possibility that
dried fruits and vegetables may con-
tinue to be shipped abroad in consid-
cradle, quantities to supplement the con-
centrated food diet Of the men in the
trenches.
The drying of vegetables may seem
strange to the present generation, but
to our grandmothers it was no novelty.
Many housewives even to-day prefer
dried sweet corn to the product canned
by the old method, and say also that
dried pumpkin and squash are excellent
for pie making. Snap beans often are
strung on threads and dried above the
stove. Cherries and raspberries still
are dried on bits Of bark for use instead
Of raisins. In fact, many of the every
day foodstuffs already are dried at some
stage OF their preparation for market.
The common dried fruits, such as prunes,
raisins, figs, dates, and apples, are
staples in the worlds markets, while
beans and other legumes, tea, coffee,
cocoa, and various manufactured foods,
like starch, tapioca, macaroni, etc., are
dried either in the sun and wind or in
specially constructed, driers. /
Even though the drying of fruits and
vegetables as practiced few decades
ago on many farms has become prac-
tically a Sslost art" the present food
situation doubtless will cause a marked
stimulation of drying as a means Of con
serving the food supply. This country
is producing large quantities Of perish:
able. foods this year, which should be
saved for storage, canned, or properly
dried. Drying is not a panacea for the
entire waste evil, nor should it take the
place Of storing or canning to any con-
siderable extent where proper storage
facilities are available or tin cans or glass
