Advises Check On
Pressure Gamers

Before the busy canning season
rolls around, Beatrice Cleveland,
Home Demonstration Agent, sug-
gests that you check your pressure
canner to see that it is in perfect
working order. Alma Garven, Food
specialist at Ohio State University,
says three things need to be
checked carefully.
The pressure guage, the safety
valve, and the rubber gasket. Only
when the pressure guage is work
ing accurately can goods be cam
ned safely and only then can the
canner be operated safely. Safety
valves must be cleaned, for failure
to work when the pressure be-
comes too high may be hazardous.
The pet cock opening may be
cleaned by drawing a string or
narrow strip of cloth threw it
frequently. Pressure clinics will
not be held in the various COM
munities as last year, Miss Cleve-
land said. However, guages and
Gamers will be checked at the
Extension Office throughout this
month. Anyone interested in hav-
ing theirs checked may take the
pressure canner lid to the Exten-
sion Office in the basement of the
Court House. Canning bulletins
and correct canning tables are also
available upon request.
