WARTIME FISH SITUATION

Heavy drafts by the allies on the
meat stocks of the United States have
resulted in increased home demands
for fish. A broad view of the fish
situation is contained in a statement
just issued by the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration. Following are points
OF outstanding interest:
The Atlantic coast fisheries of the
United States normally produce over
two-thirds of all the food fish going
into fresh consumption throughout
the country.
Until 1917, when meatless days
were inaugurated, the use of salt
water fish was largely confined to
the coast areas and distribution to
the interior of the country was lin
tied.
The advent of the war in the
spring Of 1917 found the fisheries
very much undeveloped and the
available producing units compare
lively few in number and small in
size.
The fisheries, in common with
other food industries, have suffered
substantial losses of men through
army draft, Naval operations have
taken large toll of men, including
vessel captains and fishermen, and
have also taken many vessels from
the fishing industry.
In spite of the many varieties of
fish valuable as a food, only few
so into distribution as staples, owing
to lack of handling facilities and cen
tralized production, also because
many varieties are small in size and
highly perishable.
Cod and haddock fisheries are car
ried on from December to May in
spite of winter storm conditions, but
cold weather factors bring about de-
creased catches Most of the other
Atlantic coast and middle west fish
cries are suspended during those
because of the weather and
character of the fish.
Halibut fisheries of the Pacific
coast continue, but with decreased
catches because of the hardships and
uncertainties of winter fishing.
From present indications May,
1918, will bring a downward turn
n fish prices, resulting from a more
plentiful supply.

BY APPEAL THROUGH PRESS;
NEEDS MANY MORE

Over 5000 glasses Of various kinds
have been received by the navy in
response to its call through the news
papers for binoculars, Eyeglasses,
telescopes, servants, and chrono-

many more.
Heretofore the United States has
been obliged to rely on foreign coun-
tries for most of its supply Of such
articles. These channels Of supply
being closed. it has been necessary to
appeal to the patriotism Of private
owners for eyes for the navy"
All articles should be tagged with
name and address of the donor and
sent to Hon. Franklin d. Roosevelt,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, care
of Naval Observatory, Washington,
d. c. Those not suitable will be re-
turned to senders Careful records
will be kept of accepted glasses so
they may. if possible be returned at
the termination of the war.
AS the government under the law
can not accept services or material
without payment, 81 will be paid for
each article accepted

APPLES

Apples shrink more in canning than
most fruits, and for this reason should
be blanched for one minute. Plunge
them into cold bath, then pack.
Cover with a strip made of Ia ounces
Of sugar to one gallon of water and
process quart jars II minutes. Other
sirups can be used in place of part
of the sugar usually required.
This method of canning apples is
not economical, because the apple is
juicy and needs no water added. A
better method. perhaps. is to make a
sauce out Of the apples. This may be
done by Steaming them until tender
and passing them through the sieve.
Allow one cupful of sugar to each gal

dissolved, pack hot in sterllized jars

PEPPERS

The best sweet peppers for canning
are the Spanish varieties known as
pimentos. The fruit of these peppers
has very thick fresh, tough skin, and
is comparatively smooth and free from
ridges. The bell peppers are not suit
able varieties for canning. Peppers
should be ripe, sound, and free from
bruises. Sort. using the whole peppers
for canning and small or broken pep
pers for products such as sauces.

utes being careful not to allow them to
scorch. Peel cut out stem, remove
seeds. and pack dry in flattened layers.
No water or seasoning is used in the
preparation of these peppers; the

which almost covers them in the previ-
ously boiled Jars. Partially seal jars,

May Ban Growing of Tobacco.

While Switzerland produces only
small quantity of tobacco, the authOri-
ties there have raised the question of
suppressing its cultivation at this time
on account of the great demand for
more necessary productions that could
be raised. The planters of Broyce.
the center of the industry, have pro-
tested against this measure, even If
the government gives them indemnity
for the suppression of the planting OF
tobacco.
The little village of Montbrellon,
near Broyce, raised last year $4,000
worth of tobacco. The price obtained
was from $27 to $1,000 per 100 pounds.
as compared with former prices OF
$3.50 to 81 per 100 pounds. The can
ton of Vaud produces most of the to-
bacco grown in Switzerland, the aver
age crop in this canton for period
of five years being $4,000 pounds.

seven cents per pound.

FIGS

Figs for canning should be sQunu
and firm. Sprinkle one cupful of soda
over six quarts of figs and add one
gallon of boiling water. Allow the
figs to stand i'm the soda bath for FIVE
minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
Bring two quarts of strip, made by
using three pounds and nine ounces
sugar to one gallon of water, TO boil
ing and add the well-drained figs. IL
desired the amount of sugar may be
reduced, but ii is not advisable to at
tempt the canning of figs without any
sugar at all.
Allow the fruit TO boil in the strip
for one hour. Place the fruit carefully
in the jars and then fill to overlooking

STRING BEANS

String beans for canning should be

canning is more difficult and the fin

Refugee Is a good variety for canning.
Use only wel-sorted. small, tender
beans. Wash and pick over the beans.
String the beans and cut them into
two-inch lengths. Cutting diagonally

whole and packed lOg-cabin fashion In
square jars.
After the beans are prepared, blanch
by placing In cheesecloth bag In boil

the beans. Blanch only until the pods
will bend without breaking, then

Lima beans are treated the same as
