One hundred and thirty members

from every part Of the empire Of

from Denver discuss war issues.
Many OF the men motored from

cracy.
In spite Of the fact that Congress
man Timberlake was weary and
hoarse from q long series Of speech

spare himself In Friday nights ad-

ears of his audience.

to our quota every family in Weld
must average a 500 investment in
saving certificates before December

child in Weld must average an in

Eaton urged a campaign of cutting
out luxuries aud investing in war

ditures on luxuries benefits the gov

GREENS OR POT HERBS.

A large number of cultivated and
wild greens are edible, and when can
ned make succulent and valuable food
for the winter and spring months.
Among the cultivated green's are
Swiss chard, kale, Chinese cabbage
leaves. upland cress, French endive,
cabbage sprouts. turnip tops. young,
tender New Zealand spinach, beet
tops, .dandelion, young, tender dash.
cen sprouts, native mustard, Russian
mustard, collards, and tender rape
leaves. Among the wild greens are
pepper cress, b's-quarters, sour
dock. smartweed sprouts, purslane or
"pusley," pokeweed sprouts, dande-
lion. and milkweed GENDER sprouts
and young leaves.)
Can green's the same day they are
picked. Wash clean, sort thoroughly,
allowing no foreign weed leaves or
other vegetable matter to remain. Rid
the greens of all sand, dirt, and dry,
decayed or diseased leaves. Place the
green's in crate or cheesecloth and
blanch in live steam either in an i'm.
provised homemade steamer, or reg
ular commercial steamer, for Is min
utes. Remove the green's and plunge
quickly into cold water. Remove to
a freshly scalded pan or other vessel
and cut into convenient lengths. Pack
into hot jars, add hot water to fill the
container, and season to taste. If de-
sired, a few strips Of bacon, Clipped
beef, or olive oil may be added to the
green's. Partially seal jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure is recommended. Process pint
jars 40 minutes under steam pressure
of 10 pounds. Seal Immediately, cool
in a place free from drafts, test for
leaks, and store in dark, cool, dry
place.
If the one-period continuous boiling
process is used, boil for at least two
hours. Seal Immediately, cool, test
for leaks, and store.-U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.

ferahly in a piece of cloth which may
be lifted out conveniently. Cover the
jars with water. put the lid on the
boiler, and let the jars boil until you
are ready to use them. They should
be allowed to boil for at least 10
minutes AS it takes time for big
vessel of water to come to boil,
start this boiling of jars some time
before you begin to prepare your
fruit or vegetables. Try not to have
your prepared fruits or vegetables
wait any length of time to be put into
the boiled jars.
Meanwhile start water for blanching
to boil in a new enameled pail,
Use only new rubber rings. Shortly
before you will use the rubber rings
add a teaspoonful of bicarbonate OF
(cooking) soda to a quart OF boiling
water. Cleanse the rubber rings just
before putting them on the jars by
dipping them for one minute in this
hot soda water
Preparing Fruits and Vegetables
Select sound fresh fruits and veg
etables and carefully wash in cold
water Do not put soft berries into
water Rinse them by pouring water
over the berries in a colander, being
careful not to mash or bruise them.
Sort the product again and discard all
bruised or defective pieces.
With clean hands and scalded uten-
sils peel or scrope or cut up large
products into pieces of canning size.
If the hot jars are not yet ready
and they must have boiled for at
least Is minutes--cover each dish of
prepared product with a clean towel
Or scalded cover Better yet, prepare
only a small quantity at time and
rush into one or two jars. Then pre-.
pare another batch. The quicker the
product is prepared and packed into
the hot jar the better.
Just before placing in the jars put
the prepared product in the center of
clean cheesecloth square. Take the
cloth by the corners and plunge the
product into the clean boiling water
in the blanching vessel. Allow it to
remain in the boiling water only for
the time specified for the particular
product Remove Immediately and
either dip into cold bath or place di-
erctly in the jars, as directed for the
product.
Cold Dipping.
If dipping in a cold water bath is
advised for the product, the moment
the bag of blanched material is taken
from the boiling water plunge it into
vessel of clean, cold water-the
colder the better Allow it to remain
in the cold water only for the time
specified. Do not allow it to soak in
the cold water.
Packing the Jar.
Remove from the water bath the
jars and covers which must have been
boiling for at least Is minutes. AS
quickly as possible pack the blanched
land dipped) product into the boiled
jars. Pack quickly and carefully, u.s.
ing fiat and narrow wooden paddle
or wooden spoon. Eliminate all bub-
bles. Pack tightly but not so as to
mash or crush the product.
Fill the jar to within one-half inch
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-06-18

the product. Begin counting the time
for processing when the water around
the jars in the water bath starts to
boil
Sealing the Jars.
Remove jars from the bath at the
end of the canning period prescribed
for the particular fruit or vegetable.
Instantly clamp tightly or screw
down the lid on each jar as it is taken
out. Make sure there is no leak.
Store jars to cool in a draft-free place.
Test for leaks again next day. If any
jar shows any signs of leaks replace
faulty rubber, cap or container, and
reboil.
Where Only One Period Of Boiling Is
Required.
If the product is one that can be
canned by a single period Of boiling
in hot water bath, your product, if
tightly sealed and thoroughly cold,
is now ready for storage. Where only
one boiling is required, screw-top
cIamp-top or self-sealing containers
or cans can be used
Special Considerations.
A single period of processing in. the
| water bath has been found generally
satisfactory for canning fruits and
such acid vegetables as tomatoes.
Lima beans peas, corn, and certain
other vegetables having a high protein
content, or which, because of their
thick consistency, do not allow the
heat to penetrate to the center of
the can readily, are more difficult to
sterelize, and hence, where the hot
water bath is used, either by the
ingle-continuous, Or by intermittent
process, a small percentage of loss by
spoilage may be expected. However,
scrupulous care in the selection pre-
paration. and processing of these pro-
ducts will reduce this loss to a mini
mum.
A single-period processing with
steam under pressure of 10 to Is
pounds, in pressure Gamer or cook
err, is strongly recommended for the
handling of such products, for by it's
use loss due to insufficient sterili-
cation may be largely eliminated.
intermittent Boiling.
For the benefit of those to whom
the intermittent boiling or processing
may not be familiar, it may be ex-
planned that this consists merely of
placing the cans or jars of material
to be treated in the boiler or Gamer,
and boiling for the required length Of
time on each of three successive days.
By many this is considered a safer
procedure than the use of a single
long period of boiling.
If you employ this method, when
the jars are being given the second
and third boiling treatments. you
should loosen the clamps or unscrew
the lids slightly just before you place
them again in the boiling water
Tighten covers at the end Of each
boiling. AS the seal of the jars is
loosened slightly during each boiling,
the neta[capped jars, sometimes
called "heremetic" Jars, are not suited
to intermittent work. ars with self.
sealing wire-clamped tops are most
satisfactory to use in intermittent can
ming. Save your screw-top jars for
