SIMPLIFYING Fruits.

Sun-Drying Fruits.
Drying is by far the simplest and
easiest way of saving fruits. It is the
Oldest way for long before canning
and preserving were practiced people
dried fruits.
Drying in the sun was practiced
to a considerable extent by pioneer
settlers in this country. They saved
fruits for their homes by cutting 1T
and placing on scaffolds in the sun.
There are, in fact several advan-
tages of drying over canning. The
method is simple, the cost is little;
no elaborate or expensive equipment
is necessary, nor is there the loss SO
common on account of spoilage when
fruits are canned. No skill is needed
in drying and when the dried prod
ucts are prepared and served they
are as good as canned products; some
contend that they are better. 1t is
fact that little room is needed for
the storage of dried products. One
hundred pounds Of fresh fruits may
be reduced to ten pounds, when dried,
and this may be done without the loss
of anv food value and with very little
loss of flavor.
Authorities tell us that "evaporat-
ed" "dried," 'dehydrated," "dessi-
cated," are all terms used more or
less interchangeably for food with
the moisture removed. Generally
speaking, evaporated products are
those from which the moisture has
been removed by artificial heat;
dried fruits are those exposed to the
hun for the removal of the moisture.
Sometimes, however, fruits are dried
in evaporators. Drying may be done
on stove, a furnace or on CONNER
cial driers or evaporators. The SIM
plest and cheapest method is to dry
in the sun and it is claimed that the
dried fruits processed by the sun are
higher in flavor than when artificial
heat is applied. Trays may be used
for sun drying, or the pieces Of fruits
may be spread on paper or pieces OF
muslin. Hot days are required and
good breeze is beneficial. The fruit
should be covered with muslin to
keep out insects and yet leave the
fruit exposed to the sun. The specl-
mems of fruit should be turned once
or twice day. Every evening the
trays or other containers of fruit
should be taken in as dew or rain will
discolor the fruit and often ruin it.
A cheap but serviceable tray for
drying fruit is made as follows:
Take strips of lumber, three-quar-
ters of an inch thick and two inches
wide for the sides and ends. For the
bottom nail laths to these strips, with
spaces between the laths one-eighthh
of an inch, to permit air circulation.
Laths about four feet long are econ
omical. Instead of laths, screen wire
for the bottom may be used. Use one
eighth or one-fourth inch mesh. In
the event you use wire, make the
frame correspond to the wire obtain
able. When several trays are used,
have them all the same size so one
may be placed upon another, for con-
venience in handling.-Farm and
Ranch.

UCCESSFUL FARMING TO
DO IT
(By W. II. White)

Wy w II. w AACOj
I have been asked so many times
recently by my friends, what to pant
and how to farm this year, that I shall
give all who may be interested, the
benefit OF my idea, as you know :
have farmed. Since the European
war, it has been natural that the con-
sumption of Commercial fertilizers
should be decreased as compared with
1913-1914, and same prior years. IN
1914, Georgia used 1,282,088 tons COM
mercia1 fertilizer, South Carolina used
1,095,72S tons, North Carolina used
S72 $50 tons, Alabama used 592 200
tons, and New York State used 490,
900 tons. These were the five states
using the largest tonnage of commercial
fertilizers.
A comparison Of the yields per acre
in States which were large fertilizer
users, particularly those which grew
cotton end were not affected by the
boil weevil, and other pests, shows
hat increasing fertilization, increas-
! ing intelligence, and increasing yields
i go together. AS any agricultural Ger
ritory develops, the use Of fertilizers
will increase. and / scase this despite
the. fact that I realize that fertilizers
alone are only one single element IN
successful farming.
Prosperity and good crops cannot
come from the use Of fertilizers alone.
They are only one single factor, bit
a very decided and ESSENTIAL one, which
|enters into to make a successful whole.
Personal knowledge and ability Of the
growers themselves must never be lost
sight of. Such factors as damage
from pests, plant diseases etc, the ne
cessity Of good seed, sunshine, the
adaptation Of crops to conditions OF
'climate, sufficient" and favorable dis
,trihution of rain fall, abundance OF
!. available plant food, suitable physi-
cad structure, it'll its many different
features, are to be reckoned with in
the proper cultivation Of crops. And
: to make farming successful, proper;il
lage, crop rotation and fertilizers arc
prominent factors which, must likewis.
