SWEET POTATO CROP IN STATE
Growers Will Try to Stimulate Prices
by Advertising Campaign

A meeting of the sweet potato pub
licity committee of Delaware was held |
at Seaford Tuesday and was attended
by bankers, brokers and visitors in
terested in the publicity plan to mar
ket the enormous sweet potato crop
of the peninsula. The meeting was
called to order by j. H. Elliott, of
Laurel, chairman.
County Agent NJ. C. Vaughn, of
Georgetown, gave a brief survey of
what had been done by the publicity
committee and spoke of the present
sweet potato market conditions.
V. r. Allen, Seaford, chairman of
the committee on publicity, gave
detailed report of what his committee
had done.
Lee Layton, of Georgetown, told of
what the California raisin growers
had accomplished by advertising their
product, stating that the price was in
creased from 2 1-2 to 10 1-2 cents
pound.
NJ. o. Pence, of Newark, county
agent leader, gave a talk on what
might be done Immediately to relieve
the situation. He suggested that a
"sweet potato day" be put on in Will
mington and to have trucks from Sus-
sex county on the streets of that city
with potatoes for sale. This would
make it possible, he said, to get be-
fore the people publicity as to what
the farmers are doing to try to move
the crop. He also told of how the
sweet potato boys club of Houston
had recently sold sweet potatoes to
the faculty at Newark for $1.15 a
hamper. This plan, he thought, could
be duplicated on a much larger scale
, in Wilmington.
Mr.. Derrickson of Dover, chief of
the Bureau of Markets, spoke of the
, general yield of sweet potatoes thru
out the country and said there was nc
: reason why the 10 per cent increase ir
= the yield should have such AN effect
upon the market. He believed that
with little publicity the increase
: yield could be easily taken care of anC
n the price stimulated.
Mr.. Elliott said he would try anC
get all the brokers and bankers to-
gether at Laurel as soon as possible
and see how much money could b,
raised. George H. Otwell, Laurel
>, stated that he was not in favor of ad
u vertising some of the poor varieties
and after some discussion the consen
# sus of opinion was that if the storage
n house owners were interested enough
|: to put up one-quarter of a cent pc
) basket, that he would also be inter

s, package.

texture and flavor to the vegetable
or fruit canned In using this
method sterilization is completed in
a single period, saving time, fuel
and labor. The simplicity of the
method commends it. Fruits are put
up in syrups. Vegetables require
only salt for fiavoring and water to
| fill the container.
Another advantage is that it is
practicable to put up food in small
as well as large quantities. The
housewife who understands the
processswill find that it pays to put
up even single |container. Thus,
when she has small surplus of
some garden crop she should take
the time necessary to place this food
in a container and store it for future
use. This is true household efficiency.
Essentials for Canning
1t is important to plan your work
so that whatever may be needed will
be ready for use. Arrange everything
conveniently in advance. Preliminary
provisions includes:
l. A reliable alarm clock in con-
venient place (set to ring when the
sterilizing is done).
2. All the necessary equipment in
place before beginning work.
8. Jars, tops and rubbers carefully
tested.
A. Fresh, sound fruits and vege-
tables.
5. Reliable instructions carefully (
followed
6. Absolute cleanliness.
7. If working alone prepare only
enough vegetables or fruits to fill
the number Of jars that the sterilizer
will hold. Always blanch and cold
dip only enough product to fill one
Or two jars at the time. AS soon as
the jar is filled and the rubber and

METHODS OF CANNING

There are three principal methods
of home canning. These are:
l. Single period cold-pack method
2. Fractional or intermittent ster
ilization method.
3. Open kettle or hot-pack method
Of these methods the one recon-.
mended for home use is the single
period cold-pack method. 1t is much
the best because of its simplicity and
effectiveness and in this book de-
tailed instructions are given for its
use. The outlines of the various
methods are as follows:
1 Single Period Cold-pack Method:
The prepared vegetables or fruits
are blanched in boiling water or live
steam, then quickly cold-dipped and
packed at once into hot jars and
sterilized in boiling water or by
steam pressure. The jars are then
sealed, tested for leaks and stored.
2 Fractional or Intermittent Ster-
ilization Method: Vegetables are
half sealed in jars and sterilized for
one hour or more on each of three
successive days. This method is
expensive as to time, labor and fuel
and discourages the home canning of
vegetables.
3 Open Kettle or Hot-pack Method:
Vegetables or fruits are cooked in
an open kettle and packed in jars.
There is always danger of spores and
bacteria being introduced on spoons
or other utensils while the jars are
being filled. This method should
never be used in canning vegetables.
Even with fruits it is not as desir-
able as the cold-pack.
The single period cold-pack
method is simple and sure way of

RURAL CREDITS SYSTEM
(From Lamoille County Farm Bur-
eau NeWsl

(From Lamoille County Farm Bur.
eau News)
The problem of creating an ade-
quate rural credits system is one Of
the most important questions before
Congress from the farmers stand.
point. This statement was made
by President E. B. Cornwall of the
Vermont Farm Bureau Federation
who has recently returned from a
trip to Washington in this connec-
ton.
at seems advisable to set up some
permanent system similar to the war
finance corporation" said Mr.. Corn
wall. "This system should be con-
structed so that it can take care of
the%needs of the farmers in all parts
of the country. Credit should be pro-
vided on agricultural commodities in
warehouse and on livestock, and grain
and fertilizer in transit or in ware
house for future use. 1t should be
possible to obtain this credit through
banks or cooperative loan organiza-
tons, and cooperative marketing and
buying organizations. Wherever pos
sible, the proper medium is the local
bank and we believe there will be
little difficulty in working through
the banks provided there is a perma-
nent system and agricultural loans
can be re-discounted from six months
to three years time.
"At the present time the limit for
re-discounting through the federal
reserve is six months. We believe
any prejudice towards this sort of
loan on the part of the bankers will
be removed by the three considera-
tions of permanent credit system,
the length of the time limit and the
possibility of obtaining credit
through other organizations when
the bank machinery fails to act.
"There are a number of different
measures before Congress. Most of
them provide for an INTERPRETATION
between the rural credits system and
the federal reserve so that farm loans
can be rediscounted through the fed
eral reserve bank during the last six
months before maturity. There has
been less need for this sort of credit
in the East than in the West and
South. There is need, however, and
we believe that those banks which
are anxious to cooperate with the
farmer and his organizations will
the opportunity to use this
system. The need may be greater
now that the grain committee of the
Boston Chamber of Commerce has
solicited aid from all grain
dealers in New England to fight the
farmers cooperatives."
