Order Wheat Fertilizers Early

The demand for fertilizers to be

orders are placed thru farmers or

Tomato vIneq,ar.

In attempting to utilize the tomato
In as many ways as possible, it is not
uncommon practice. especially with
tomato club" girls, to make what Is
termed tomato vinegar" This prod
uct Is not vinegar, although 1t has
a sour taste and to certain extent, as
In salads and for table purposes, can
be used as a substitute for vinegar.
II Is really Tactic acid fermentation
Instead of acetic acid and for this rea-
SON is more like sour milk and sauer-
kraut Juice. II spells rapidly after
fermentation unless 1t is put into bot
ties, filled as full as possible, and
corked tight. After opening and ex-
posure to the air the product win spoil
unless kept very cold. In making this
product the juice is collected and all
lowed to stand in warm place for
few days. After 1t becomes sour it
should be filtered or strained and
stored in bottles filled full and eorked
tight. 1t is said that products of this
type are being used us substitutes for
vinegar In Austria. There appears to
be no reason why such product could
not be used In salad and meat dress
ings with entire satisfaction.
