DRIED VEGETABLES
tFrom the Indianapolis News)


Last year about this time a good deal
was being said about dehydrated vegeta-
bles, and people who had never heard
of the word were going to their diction-
aries, determined to do anything to win
the war. and finding that the word meant
about the same as dried and was after
all not new. Three years ago deny
drafting was seriously considered as
means of saving crops which otherwise
threatened to become total loss. The
government issued a. book on the sub
ject, and for a time it looked as If the
canning process would have to be dis
carded until more prosperous days.
This year little is being said about
dehydrated vegetables for home con-
sumption. Grocers report that the public
never took very kindly to them the main
objection to the soaking process to which
they must be subjected before they are
ready to be cooked. When canned
vegetables and dehydrated vegetables
are exposed for sale at about the same
price, housewives take the canned vege-
tables without the least hesitation. Yet
experiment has shown that about the
only difference between the two vege-
tables as served is in the taste the de-
hydrated vegetables in some cases hav-
Ing lost part Of their native flavor. One
is about as nourishing as the other.
This turn of affairs will doubtless quiet
the Gamers. who for a time feared that
their industry was ruined. and who per-
haps exaggerated the faults of dried
vegetables. But while the canned vege-
tables are preferred, something has been
gained by educating the public to the pos
sbilities of dried vegetables. There is a
market for them in some of the stricken
countries of Europe, where they are IA
vored because they are cheap and easily
transported There may be a market for
them in some parts OF the United States,
and the time may come when vegetable
growers will agree with certain enthu-
sastic advocates of dehydrating that dry
ing and storing vegetables is worth while.
but for the present canning is undoubt-
eddy the popular process.

Alderman Give Authority for
Purchase of $4,000 Worth,
Provided New England Insur-

Rates-Gift from Admr. Mayo

Authority for the purchase OF S19.Voo
worth Of motor-driven fire fighting APP
paratus for the Burlington fire depart
ment was given Monday night at special

rates will be dropped three cents for every
500 for period of at least one year.
The chassis for the hook and ladder at
$4,000 and a chassis for hose wagon
at $3.50 were ordered purchased.
The total cost of the new apparatus. IL
all is purchased, will be about $500 more
than was originally thought when the
fire commissioners went before the board
over a week ago, but the additional price
is for different grade of triple combina-
ton pump, chemical and hose wagon,
which will sent $50 gallons per minute
through the pump at 100 pounds pressure.
The other apparatus which was capable
of throwing between 500 and GOO gallons
per minute was not of sufficient size to
bring the city into class B." as is made

the long-term guarantee is feature
which no other fire apparatus concern
could offer. the longest guarantee offered
being one year.

VERMONT POTATOES
Inspection for Seed CertifcntiOn Re-
suits Very Satisfactorily


Inspectors under Commissioner of Ag-
riculture Z. s. Brigham have just COM
pleted the first field inspection of pota-
toes, fol- which application was made
for seed certification. The number, some
thing over $50 fields, Is much larger than
that Of any precious years since the pro-
ject was started and manifests a large
development of interest In the plan. That
this interest is justified is shown by the
number of growers from the great Long
Island New Jersey potato regions who
come to this State to look up a source
for their seed supply. a situation result
ing from the very high standing which
Vermont seed potatoes have made both
in experimental plots and commercial
fields in those regions.
II. r. Talmage. one of the largest and
best known growers from Riverhead, L.
l., who has just made his annual visit
through the State for the purpose above
mentioned, speaks very encouragingly Of
the conditions this year. especially in
finding but small percentage of Mosaic
disease. He visited fields in the vicinity
of Rutland Brandon, Rochester. Randolph
and Corinth. paying particular attention
to the fields of the Randolph Potato
Growers association, which aggregate
nearly 100 acres
Although a small percentage Of fields
were necessarily eliminated from fur
Their consideration, owing to varietal mix
ture or disease, the inspectors report the
general condition of the potatoes as good.
Leaf roll appears to be the most preva-
lent disease, and all growers. whether of
inspected fields or not, are advised to
eliminate weak plants from the plots
from which they expect to prune seed
stock. Such plants are likely to be in
fected either with leaf roll or Mosaic
both of which are transmitted through
the seed.

mery a member of the board of fire COM
missioners, who had n machine to sell. he
being agent for the Twin State Indiana
corporation, the machine being a Buick
touring car, secondhand. After trying it
out, Griger decided that he would like to
own 1t and told Mr.. Nash that he would
purchase II.
A representative of the company went
with Griger to the Merchants National
bank where the latter asked to have
check for $500, drawn on the Hanover
National bank of New York city and
signed by himself under the name of
Harry Du Pill, cashed The bank refused
to cash the check because Griger was
stranger but agreed TO take II and collect
1t for him and did so, telling him to re-
turn in day or so and they would let
him know about the check. He did so
and was handed a slip saying that there
was no such account in the New York
bank
When he was searched at the police sta
ton much literature pertaining to auto
mobiles was found on his person, together
with many addresses of car owners and
personal letters sent to him at the Dame
mora prison I'm New York State by some
woman who In one of them told of how
II broke her heart to see him in abe chain
gang. 1t is evident from the letters that
the woman had done time herself, for
sho said In ono that she might be sent
back TO the House of Correction If
worse came to worst.
