PLANNING FO ROAMING

The quality which makes home
grown vegetables superior to those
bought in the market can be preserved
easily when surplus supplies are cam
ned at home.
Canned baby beans, sold at fancy
prices as "haricots," may be produced
by the simple process of picking
stringless beans when they are half
grown and canning them by one of
the modern home pack methods. z
By expanding the vegetable patch
to twice the size needed for the sum-
mar food supply, one may produce a
surplus of all the easily canned crops.
The chief point upon which quality de-
pends is that canning be done little
at time, continuously through the
season, so that each crop may be dis
posed Of when at it's best.
Beans which are most delicious
when half grown lose in quality as
they mature. Peas from the home
garden, harvested at their sweetest
and tenderest, can be canned to pro-
duce quality dish which can only be
matched at high prices in the grocery
store. The added quality involves no
additional expense to the home gar
dener, but merely requires that he
plan intelligently and take care not to
allow his crops to pass their best be-
fore being harvested.
Vegetables most commonly used for
canning are peas, beans, sweet corn,
asparagus and tomatoes. Many others
may be canned including all the greens
lima beans, brussels sprouts, pump
kins, beets and others.
If in addition to good supply of
canned vegetables the garden owner
has well-filled root cellar stored
with carrots, onions, potatoes, cab
bages, turnips, squash, Chinese cab
bage and winter radishcs, while in his
