Community Canning Kitchens

Many of the readers of the Farm Blu
reau News already know that at the
community canning kitchen which was
operated at Middlebury by the Home
Demonstration Department of the
Farm Bureau last year, over 1000
quarts of vegetables, fruit, and meat
were canned for people from ten differ
ent towns The season is fast approach
ing when this kitchen will be reopened
and now is the time for everyone who
intends to have canning done to think
about the vegetables,
Last year many people came to the
canning kitchen inquiring where they
could purchase vegetables for canning.
Many also remarked that if they had
known there was to be a canning kit
chen they would have planted more
vegetables of every kind. 1t is not too
late now to set out few extra tomato
plants or to plant more peas beans,
beets, etc DO 1T TODAY!
Many Of the village women who do
not have adequate garden space have
asked that some way might be arrang-
ed whereby they could purchase lar
ger quantities of green peas, string
beans, etc, for canning. Although there
may not be a sufficient supply for all,
the Home Demonstration Agent has
arranged to have several reliable people
plant an extra quantity specially for
canning.
If there are any people near Middle
bury who have planted more than they
expect to use for home consumption,
they may be assured OF a market
through the canning kitchen. Last year
the workers at Middlebury were so
busy with the strictly canning work
that they had no time for the COM
munity market phase which should 90
hand in hand with any canning kitchen.
However, it is expected to make this
part quite a help to everyone this
year. A concrete floor is soon to be
at the kitchen and several
other Improvements are to be made
which will greatly add to the efficiency
and enable the workers to care for
larger quantity Of produce than could
possibly be done previously
Last year our Middlebury kitchen
was the first Farm Bureau canning
kitchen in the state, and by the way
there was several times as much food

CAN YOU BEAT IT?

The women of Addison county feel
that they can safely say, Can you beat
it, in conversing with the women from
other parts of the state in regard to the
amount of meat which they have can
ned for summer use. The following
diagram shows the result of much work
this winter but the anticipation of
much more satisfaction and help dur
ing the summer months. Many fam
lies, who have experienced a great
deal of difficulty in obtaining fresh
meat during the summer will merely
have to 90 down cellar to open a jar
OF perfectly fresh meat from now on
Are you one of the fortunate families?
The reports which have been received
by the Home Demonstration agent
show that the majority of the meat
canned consisted OF beef, pork and
chicken; however, veal, rabbit, venison,
and several kinds Of fish are included in
the list.
One of the first questions which will
come to the mind of the average read
er is, How many pounds of meat does
this report really represent? The
amount of meat in quart jar varies
with the. method employed, however,
from many experiments carried on by
the women at the various canning bees
this past winter it is safe to estimate
at least ga lbs. per quart. Almost in
variably when these experiments were
carried on more meat was put in jar.
In order to make this report conser-
vative, however we will say that a
quart jar of canned meat will contain
81 TBS This means that about eleven
tons of meat have been canned by the
women of Addison County.

canned here as at any other kitchen in
the state. A very successful kitchen
was operated part of the summer at
Brattleboro, and this year several other
kitchens are to be operated in the state.
If we are to keep the lead it behooves
every patron to take a special interest
in the success of the kitchen and boost
it in every way possible This year
there will be two o rthree other can
ming kitchens in our county and if eve
nv one does as well accordingly as did
the Middlebury one last year the
county will have no difficulty in hold
ing its previous record.

Demented Negro Causes Stir

Jefferson Johnson, a little colored
gentleman, whose odd behavior caused
excitement in Weybridge and Middle
bury this week, was taken to Water
bury by Sheriffs Sanford and Higgins
today. Apparently Johnson was little
crazy from the heat He was found
early this week wandering about wildly
in Weybridge where a small posse
headed by Elmer Wright and others,
succeeded in holding him at bay until
Sheriff Sanford had arrived on the
scene. The negro was clad only in a
pair of overalls. After a cool night in
the Addison County Jail he seemed to
gather little Of his memory and told
the Sanfords that he had recently been
robbed somewhere of about 500 which

Three Days of Super-Heat

Tuesday. Wedne, day, and Thursday
OF this week will be remembered un-
pleasantly by those who are fortunate
enough to be left with any senses after
three days OF a most prematurely hot
spell. Thermometers disagreed; but
even the most conservative of them tes-
titled to above 80, while at Sheldon's
store on Main street the blue-ilk in
strunrent there is alleged to have reg
istered SO. A cool breeze and a soft
rain which prevailed this noon put the

There are lot of Addison County
women entitled to a little rest during
this hot spell The statistics compiled
by Miss Emma Fuller, the busy-bee
promoter of the Home Demonstration
department, show a total of eleven tons
of meat canned by women in this
county during the winter, and it is
probably record which cannot be
beaten by any county in the state;
and one which will be beaten only by
our own women next winter

Pittsburgh, Oct. 4.-CBy A. P.D-
Warning Governor Sproul that there is
a possibility of other labor organiza
tions becoming involved in the steel
strike because of alleged 'unwarranted
nets" of state police. county and local
authorities lodges of the brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen in the Pittsburgh
district have forwarded to the Gov
ernor resolution asking him to exer-
else the powers of his Office ''to bring
about cessation of these atrocities"
The resolution charges the state police
with having .''acted in manner entire
ly unbecoming to their calling" and
with beating and trnmpling defense
less men and women, invading homes
without reason, destroying personal
property, arresting persons without
cause, breaking up pcaceable gather
ings and in certain instance tore
down and tramplcd the American flag "
The trainmen asked the Governor. to
exercise his authority to compel the
sheriff of Allegheny county to protect
citizens in peaceable meetings and that
he also take steps to have the mayor
of McKeesport and the burgesscs of the

DAYS OF Mr.. Wilson's distress they tell
you privately, and they believe what
they say. that the President is only
shamming Illness for political effect.
They are so carried away by their
personal animosity that they cannot
think straight in simple matter like
this. any more than they can on the
league of nations. where every opponent
after giving you various reasons for
his opposition ends by kissing BLANK
blank that man Wilson.
Pettiness Run Mad
The pettiness Of this hatred was indi.
Gated in the charge that Mr.. Wilson had
received immensely valuable gifts from
European sovereigns An inventory of
all gifts will soon be made public. II
will show few old guns and some
hooks. few personal souvenirs, and
the only thing of considerable value. a
gold box in which the city of London
presented him with the freedom of the
city.
In few months the President has
fallen from the heights of being the
'eader of the greatest world crusade
in history since those directed toward
taking from the infidcl the sacred city of
Jerusalem to being disingenuously
charged with being mere vulgar grab
Der of valuable presents.
And in this period of reaction Mr..
Wilson has been a lonely man. He has
been unfortunately isolated from the
stronger loyal natures who formerly
surrounded him. Mr.. White under
stood one of the deep needs of Mr.. VIII
sons heart when he said he demanded
chiefly loyalty from his associates. He
probably leaned to an extent or relied
upon the moral support of mon like
Mr.. McAdoo. who retired from the
cabinet several months ago and has been
out of contact with the President until
very recently. Colonel House. man
with an extraordinary capacity for 10y
atty, whose irresistible optimism must
have been tremendous aid to the Pres
ident in his darker hours, has gone too,
discrcdited by the results of the Peace
Conference.
Mr.. Baruch and Judge Brandeis have
been away from Washington. Mr..
Burleson is discrcditcd. Mr.. Lansing,
80 far as he was factor, separated
himself definitely from the President in
Paris.
Mr.. Wilson has entered into the
depths of reaction almost alone. He is
in the position in which Presidents
usually find themselves, toward the end
of their terms, especially their second
terms, when mems eyes are turned to
the future, and away from them. 1t
has been trying time. The difference
between this year and last year is too
vast not to have affected profoundly
the strongest man in Mr.. Wilson
position, The reaction was almost in
evitable.
But it is probably at its worst now"
Upon this and the fact that people
usually recover from nervous exhaustion
is built the confident belief that Mr..
Wilson will once more be well.
