BABY BEETS

The following recipe for canning baby beets is applicable to carrots. Only young, tender beets should be canned to get a 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 rerSdflng. Cover with clear hot wa ter; partially seal the jars and boil them in water bath for one hour con- tinuously, 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 tn the cans used must be inside-lacquered. Beets IA inch in diameter and over should be cut or sliced before packing into jars. When a steam-pressure canner Is used, process pints 30 minutes un- der five pounds steam pressure.-Unit- ed States Department of Agriculture.

Only young and very freshly gathered peas should be canned. Peas are best gathered in the early morning when cool. Work rapidly from the mo- ment they are gathered. Peas should not stand after being shelled. Get them into the previously boiled jars as rapidly as possible. Shell and sort, putting only peas of the same size and degree of ripeness together. Do not use hard, mature peas among tender ones or big peas with very small ones.
