CANNING WITHOUT SUGAR

All fruits may be very successfully can.
ned without sugar Successful canning
depends upon thorough sterilization by
boiling to kill all germ life in the food.
and perfect sealing Of the food to prevent
further entrance of germ life. Sugar does
not act as a preservative in the amounts
used in ordinary canning. With the pres
emit high cost of sugar the housewife win
do we'll to omit il altogether or use it in
small amounts in the canning Of fruits,
Many people think that fruits canned
wit hout sugar are superior for pies and by
the addition OF small amount of sugar
at time of serving they are equally good
for dessert. The sugar can be added with
out crushing the fruit by straining off
part of the juice and dissolving the sugar
in that then adding it to the fruit.
The Home Economics pecialists of the
Agricultural Extension Service give the
following directions for canning fruit
without sugar; Scald the cans or fill
a boil: pack the clean fruit into the jars:
fill the jars to within u inch of the top
with boiling water. Place previously test
ed rubbers on the jars and adjust the tops,
but do not press down the clamps. Place
the jars in a container which is fitted
with a rack to prevent the jars resting on
the bottom. Fill the container with suf-
fcent boiling water to come to point
inch over the tops of the jars.
Keep the water constantly at the boil
ing point for 30 minutes then remove tho
jars from the water at once complete tho
sealing, and cool. If the storage is ex-
posed to light wrap the jars in papers.

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
A VERMONT HERo's RECORD
From, the Remington Kramer,

The records Of the adiutant generals
office which have recently become avail
able show that among the deaths in the
army overseas was that of Thomas
Grounds who enlisted from Bennington
In the First Vermont in the early sum =
mer of 1917. He died from disease Octo-
Der s, and WAS buried in France. His
residence in Remington was so brief that
he had not even been missed by the few
who knew him. Grounds was a big,
broad -shou]dered- light haired youth who
was born under tho Austrian flag, in the
province of Galica- He spent two years
in this country before he came to BEN
nington in 1915 to work for the Turner
Construction company which built the
Black Cat mill. When the job was done
he did not leave Bennington. He liked
Bennington better than other towns he
had seen in America and decided to make
this town his home. He worked around
town at various jobs and had just got
ten steady job when the United States
went into the war. Young Grounds came
one evening TO The Banner Office and
wanted to enlist. In broken English he
explained that he was horn in Austria
but by parentage was Slav and wanted
10 fight on the side Of the United States.
He went with the editor Of The Banner
to the office of County Clerk Stakeholder
and took out his first citizenship papers.
a day or two later he went with a party
of Bennington boys to join Captain Glib
sons company Of the First Vermont. Sc
far as We know, he never afterwsrd
saw Bennington. He remained with
Capt. Gibsons command and as a soldier
of the 57th Pioneer Infantry started FOL
France He was one of hundreds in
that regiment who became sick with in.
fluenza on the way across and he died
soon after the ship reached Brest. The
Leviathan on that trip was ship OF
horrors. There were over 40 cases OF
influenza and pneumonia on board and
10 deaths in the s7th regiment alone. Nc
doubt Thomas Grounds will be rememb

him in service hut the published rccorc

almost one hundred years after the or
chard comes to maturity.
Barrels are very high this year and can
be bought at the present time somewhere
around $40. per barrel, landed at the
farm. an extraordinarily high price, and
vet there is a great danger that unless
farmers mako provision early they will
be unable to get supply Of barrels at
any price, when tho time comes to harvest
the crop. The reason for this IL that a
very short supply of cooperage stock was
cut last year, due principally to labor
conditions. The crop of apples generally
throughout the country is large, and fine
in quality this year. but that need not
disturb the Lake Champlain growers.
Their apples come on the market ahead
of the Western districts, and they have
a demand on account OF their superior
quality. as soon as they arrive on the
market. Western New York has to put
her app,es in cold storage to great ex-
tent. because she cannot market them In
corpetition with Lake Champlain.
Let us hope some day Lake Champlain
Valley will he like Western New York.

covering 80 miles on both sides of the
lake. The supply of the best apples can
never be too great.

INSECT WAR PLANNED
Beetles to Fight Moths In New Jersey
anh Long Island
(From the New York Post)


The Calosoma beetle, which was first
introduced into this country in 1906 to
hSht the tree-destroying gypsy and
brown tailed moth, has spread RAPIDLY
and is already we'll established in New
England States. according to reports
given out by collectors from the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History. Re.
Gently gypsy moths have been discovered
in New Jersey and parts of Long Island,
and plans are being made now to estab.
lish colonies of beetles in the infected 70
Sions to fight the moths.
The enemy of the gypsy moth LIS a
habitat of Europe and Japan. In 1905 IL
was introduced into Massachusetts, A
year later specimens were found in Con-
necticut. In 1914 New England was again
visited by plague of the moths and it
was decided to import beetles to fight
them. In 1915, 1916 and 1917 the species was
planted in various sections of Massachu.
sets and Connecticut, and from there it
spread through Rhode Island, Vermont,
New Hampshire and even up into Maine.
Investigation has shown that already
the Calosoma beetle has become our best
ally against the gypsy moth. and. as it
reproduces in satisfactory quantities, the
outlook for its future usefulness is promis-
ing. 1t is a. particularly effective natural
enemy of the gypsy moth. as both it's
larvae and adults feed on that pest. and
the life history of the beetle and thu
larvae corresponding very closely to that
of the larval and pupal stages of thu
gypsy moth, makes the beetle especially
adopted to attack the moth.
The adults of the species commonly live
two or three years. and sometimes four
years or longer, which increases their
chances Of survival under mfavorabls
conditions, as does also the fact that the
same individuals may reproduce in alter
nate years. They hibernate successfully
in the New England climate, and the
climbing habits Of the larvae make it POS
sible for them to obtain food on the trees.
The adult of the species is about one
inch in length. 1t can be recognised by
the metallic dark blue-green hrstre Of
its body and its dark-blue head and bluieh-
black underparts.
