With balances of trade in favor Of the United States
in all of these neutral countries, the American dollar
should be worth not only its gold par value, but pre-
MUM of at least 10 per cent The reverse, however, IS
the case for the American dollar selling today, in these
neutral countries, at discount of Is per cent This de-
probation not only affects the cost of commodities I'M
PORTED from these neutral countries but also affects
the home consumption costs of all articles EXPORTED
to these neutral countries.
The merchants of the United States and through
them the cunsumers-are att disadvantage both ways.
When buying commodities in these neutral countries,
they get only Is cents worth of value for every 81 they
part WITH and when buying commodities produced in
the United States for consumption here they have to
pete with the foreign buyers of the same commodities
who by reason of the appreciation of their currency
in this country are able pay higher price than the
merchants here.

BABY BEETS

The following recipe for canning
baby beets is applicable to carrots.
Only young, tender beets should be
canned TO get high quality product.
The best variety for canning Is the
Detroit.
Sort the beets, putting uniform sizes
together. Cut the stems off, but be
careful not to cut off too closely or
break the root. This will cause loss Of
juice, color and flavor. Boil in an en-
ameled pan until three-fourths done,
peel, pack hot in layers in previously
boiled jars, fitting the second layer into
the spaces left by the first layer and
repeating. Cover with clear hot wa
ter; partially seal the Jars and boil
them in water bath for one hour con-
tlnuously, counting from the time the
water boils again around the jars.
Do not allow cold water to touch
the beets after they have been cooked.
If beets are packed In tin the cans
used must be inside-lacquered. Beets
.1b inch in diameter and over should
be cut or sliced before packing into
jars. When O steam-pressure Gamer
is used, process pints 30 minutes un-
der five pounds steam pressure.-Unit-
ed States Department of Agriculture.

VEGETABLE MIXTURES

Attractive and economical vegetable
mixtures to be served In salads, with
Iomelets, escalloped dishes, and gar
pishes for meat dishes can be canned
At home. This by-product may be
canned often when small quantities
are left from packing different vege-
tables whole. Any desired combina-
fions may be made. Vegetables ma
turing I'm the same season should be
used. A good combination for the
spring would be carrots, peas, string
beans and onions. A mixture which
could be made from the fall garden
might consist Of peppers, celery, on
Ions and small lima beans. (Beets can
not be used in such mixtures because
they discolor the entire contents of the
1ar.) All these vegetables are pre-
pared separately as for canning and
packed in layers in previously boiled
Jars. Each layer should be packed as
tightly as possible before the next is
ndded. When the jar is filed, cover
with brine (21h ounces of salt to one
gallon of water). Partially seal jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure is recommended. Process pint
Jars 45 minutes under pressure of ten
pounds. Seal Immediately and cool in
a draft-free place. When cold test for
leaks and store in a cool, dark, dry
place.
If the intermittent boiling process is
used, boil for 90 minutes on the first
day, and 60 minutes on the second
and third days. Before each subse-
quent boiling the covers must be loos-
ened, and after each boiling the COW
ers must be securely tightened to
make sealing complete. Cool, test for
leaks and store.
If a single-perlod boiling process is
used, place jars in the Gamer. and boil
for at least three hours. Seal, cool,
test and store.-United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
