Sig Year Food Tested

Food that had been canned for six
years was opened recently and tested
by a Dutch physician, Van Leersuni.
1t was meat hash, including onions
and potatoes, and the doctors con-
eluslon was that the food was quite
suitable for human consumption.
The essential thing in canning, Doc
tor Van Leersum decided, was that ALI
the air should be exhausted from the
can in sealing. Oxygen, he said, was re-
sponsible for. any corrosion that oc-

State Commissioner OF Agriculture
Bowman plans to comb Montana thor.
oughly this fall in an effort TO increase
the number Of exhibitors from this
state at the International Hay and
Grain show at Chicago, November q
10 December 4. Last year exhibitors
from Montana numbered more than
200 but a great majority Of the win
ners came from Ravalli and Saltwater
counties.
Every county in Montana should be
represented at the exposition" de-
clared Mr.. Bowman. There must be
a more general interest in entering ex-
hlblts. Last year out OF six world
sweepstakes offered in the small
grains, this state took wheat, oats,
barley and Ciurum wheat, missing only
rye and soy beans It was a wonder
ful record and probably never will be
duplicated Montana won 1Oj awards
including 10 first places, two reserve
championships and four sweepstakes.

plished II every county had cooper

Of the primary phases of Montanas

ever, after extensive tests II was

Of the set is due primarily to the fact
that regeneration can be employed in
