Oven canning is dangerous IN
more ways than one. Even though
an oven goes to $50 deg. Fair. or
higher, food inside the glass jars
stays at about boiling point-that
is 212 deg. Fair. For beans, corn
and other vegetables containing
little acid, this provides too little
heating to make bacteria harm
less. In addition, oven canning may
result in explosions if jars seal
during canning so that steam
builds up inside them. In cases in
which this has happened, oven
doors have blown off, glass has
flown out, resulting in damage to
kitchens and injury to individuals.

Helpful Hints For 1914 Canning

WIN tne approaching canning
season, there are few sugges-
lions that should be brought to the
attention of all homemakers. The
Home Demonstration Agent has
taken the data from the releases
from the Department of Agricul-
ture and has given these facts to
all of her homemaker clubs. Others
may be interested also.
% Pressure cookers with alu-
minum body, cover and inset
pans, dial gauge, will be released
about July LIST.
(2) On May 18th new bulletin
on canning was released from
the Department of Agriculture. 1t
will show in picture sequence how
to can tomatoes and peaches in
water bath, and string beans in the
pressure cooker.
81 There should be 3 inches of
water in the bottom of the cooker
to keep it from boiling dry.
a. Rubber rings should be
scrubbed thoroughly and then boil
ed in baking soda and water;
tablespoon baking soda to l quart
of water to a dozen rings. This
will lessen the danger of off-flavor
in bland products due to the rubber
rings.
(5) Venting of the pressure
cooker is important. Have the
water boiling in the pressure
cooker. After adjusting the cover,
all the steam to escape for a full
ten minutes before closing the
valve. 1t is important that all the
air has vented out or else one
reaches the pressure but not the
correct temperature-much of the
spoilage of pressure-cooked foods
can be traced to this situation.
(6) Packing:
a.. Soup mixture may be pro-
cessed in hot water if there are 5
parts of tomato to a parts ,vege-
tables-such as corn, lima beans
and okra.
(2) For better heat penetration,
pack your corn whole kernel style
without scraping.
80 For loose pack in greens, use
sharp knife to cut 2 or 8 times
through the greens.
az Fruit juice should never be
allowed to boil or it will lose both
its color and fresh flavor. Heat
quickly just to the boiling pint,
then remove from the fire.
(D Canning budget for thirty
weeks for one person:
Tomatoes 90. 20 to 80 qts.
Greens and other
vegetables .25 to 35 OTIS.
Fruits ...... % to 80 OTIS.
Fruit juices !. 5 to 10 OTIS.

Another Plane Falls
In Upper Montgomery

The calm of the rural village of
Etchison, was shattered Saturday
night when small private airplane
fell on the farm of Gilliss Owings,
about five miles from Laytonsville.
Owings said he saw the plane, with
one wing sheared off and the motor
apparently dead, just before it
crashed, and he thought # had fall
len from high altitude. The plane
was completely demolished but did
not burn. The two occupants were
identified as Bradnor Cecil Mott,
29, of Columbia, Pa, and Mrs.
Lillian Fite, %, of Quarryyille, Pa.
Mott, a civilian instructor at the
Army air training center near
Union City, Tenn, was taking Mrs.
Fite, wife of another instructor,
Vincent Fife, to their home in Lam
caster, where Fite expected to join
her shortly.
Snow, sleet and rain, with freez-
ing temperatures, had grounded
the planes at the National Airport.
This is the second plane crash in
the county in less than a month.
A Navy training plane fell at
Seneca in February killing the
pilot and co-pilot.
