You see, there are eight different motor car

Among them, these eight manufacturers

Well, the reason, we're certain, is not far to

There can be no doubt that very high
percentage of these 100000 people simply

TOMATOES-PACK THEM
HOT OR RAW?
Take your choice

Urbana - Take your choice
hot pack or raw-when you
can tomatoes. Each way of
packing has points in it's favor,
so use the method most conven-
lent for you and for the equip
ment you have at hand.
Recent tests at the Bureau
of Human Nutrition and Home
Economics show that aw-pack-
ed tomatoes hold color and
shape better than hot-packed.
Not much difference was found
in flavor, however, and the hot
pack does allow more toma-
toes to be put in the jar.
Miss Grace Armstrong, nu-
tritionist, University of Illinois
College of Agriculture, warns
that it is important to follow
directions that are correct for
the method you use. Tomatoes
not heated sufficiently in can
ming will spoil in storage.
Select only firm, fully ripe
tomatoes, free from spoiled
spots. Wash the tomatoes and
dip them into boiling water for
about one-half minute, cover
ing the pan with a lid. Then
plunge them into cold water.
This hot and cold treatment
makes the skins slip off easily.
One precaution-before peel
ing, cut out the stem ends. It
is hard and tough and will not
heat thoroughly during the
processing time allowed for to-
matoes. If not removed, it is
likely to cause spoilage.
Jack the raw tomatoes into
jars or, if you prefer the hot
pack, heat them slowly to the
boiling point. Boil for two min
utes exactly, and then pack
them into hot jars. Hot-pack
or raw-add salt for season.

Processing time for cold
packed tomatoes is IS minutes

quarts. When you use the hot
pack, allow 10 minutes for
either pints or quarts.
