Grow Your Own Late Potatoes
There Time

There is still a chance to grow
a crop Of potatoes, according to
j. r. Rosa, Jr.. of the University
of Missouri, College of Agricul.
ture. The usual planting of
early potatoes was prevented or
delayed in many places this year
by the cold wet weather, and
reports from other sections do
not indicate that potatoes will
be very plentiful. Therefore
every gardener should grow a
late crop of potatoes, sufficient
at least for the home supply.
Experiments the last two
years have shown that late po-
tatoes can be grown quite sue
cessfully in central Missouri.
For north Missouri, the plant
ing date is the last week in June,
for central and south Missouri
the first two weeks of July.
Seed potatoes should be kept in
cold storage until planting time
arrives, or they may be kept by
spreading out thinly on the floor
of a light room New" or
early potatoes should not be
used for planting the late crop,
except in the extreme southern
part of the state. Thirty varie-
ties tested at Columbia have
given fair stand in most cases
ard have produced fair to good
yields. Three varieties have
given especially good results,
namely, Mccormick, Peachblow
and Banner. Other late varie.
ties have done well also, while
early varieties, such as Cobbler
and Ohio have given fair results.
Late potatoes should grow
until late in the fall. when the
vines are killed by frost. The
keeping and eating qualities of
late potatoes are excellent.

The first bathtub in the United

Home Canning Necessary This
Year

Home canning-of utmost i'm.
portance during the war-will
be just as important this year,
according to present indications
as they are viewed by the United
States Department of Agricul.
ture. The shortage of labor on
the farms makes it necessary
for the canneries to pay high
prices for the commodities that
will be canned later in the sea.
son. Labor in the canning fac
tories is expensive and difficult
to obtain. Everything from cans
to carriage costs, has increased
in price, and transportation is
slow and more expensive than it
was in war times. All this in
crease must be paid by the
ultimate consumer; and there is
not even assurance that there
will be enough canned products
to go around. The solution is
home canning.
That sugur is higher in price
than it has been hitherto is ad
vanced by some as a reason for
canning either less fruit or
nothing but vegetables; but un.
less one intends to give W
sweets altogether there seems
no good reason for not using
canned fruit on account Of high
priced sugar. There are few
desserts that do not take from
one half to one cup of sugar, and
no dessert is more healthful
than fruit. 1t is not necessary
to use such thick syrup as was
used in the days of plenty. a
10 per cent syrup made of ]
part sugar and 9 parts water
will make palatable any of the
acid fruits. Such fruits as ap
pies, pineapples and the like Car
be canned without sugar. II
fact. ordinary glucose or corr
sirup may be substituted fol
sugar in making the syrup. 4
palatable sirup is made by mix
ing = cup sugar, cup glucose
and 8 cups of water.
1t requires about ounces o
sugar for a pint jar. One cup o
sugar will make 10 cups o
sirup. A pound of sugar viii
make 20 cups. This last amour
will be sufficient for 20 pints o
canned fruit. Where the 10 pe
cent sirup is used the cost O
the sugar to can pint jar is J
cents with sugar ut 30 cents

after all.
