Women who have canned in years past find it is just as easy to put up vegetables as any other kind of prod uce. It is simply a. matter of carry ing out a few simple rules to the letter. Selection and Preparation. Young, tender, freshly gathered vegetables are a “must." Any delay from garden to canning kettle gives bacteria a chance to develop and makes processing more difficult. Tough, overripe vegetables give poor results because canning improves no vegetable. If you want prime qual ity, then can that kind of vegetable. Preserve the sweet flavor of peas and corn, for example, by picking ° them yourself, if possible and put ting them in the canning assembly line as soon as possible. Two hours from garden to kettle is a rule, not just something that sounds nice, rp To achieve best results grade veg etables for size and ripeness. Wash them thoroughly in large contain ers with plenty of running water. 'Clean vegetables are freed of much bacteria which the soil itself can carry. Hot Pack or Cold Pack? If you have the time, take it to hot-pack vegetables as this saves food and color values and gives a better product in the can. By hot pack is meant packing the vegetable hot. This consists of cooking the vegetable a few minutes to shrink it (so that it doesn't shrink too much in the jar during processing) and us ing that same liquid in which it was cooked for the jar. Many women who can hundreds of quarts do not always have time to hot pack their vegetables, and in that case, they simply prepare the vegetable for the jar and process according to directions. Preparing the Jars. ; Round up the children to help with the cannirg as best results are achieved when everything moves like clockwork. The day before actual canning starts lay out the equipment — ket tles, utility pans for holding the jars while they are filled, knives, pans for washing, etc. A big job to get out of the way is the jars All these should be washed in large pans of soapy suds and rinsed thoroughly, made ready for sterilizing the following day. Be sure that jars are checked for Lynn Says Canning Memos: Don't cheat on processing time by trying to hur ry vegetables or fruits along in the water bath or pressure cook er. Time can be saved by having produce or equipment in -eadi ness so that all work goes along on a production line schedule. After the jar has been packed, press a clean, silver knife all the way around on the inside of the jar to destroy bacteria and air bubbles. Don't forget to wipe the rim ol the jar after packing it with food Lynn Chambers-1 Point-Easy Menus Broiled Sausages with Com Jellied Tomato Salad Biscuits with Honey Lemonade Gingerbread with Apple Sauce nicks and cracks. Have plenty of covers, etc., on hand. Then, when canning starts, place jars in pans or kettles and pour boiling water over them. Filling the Jars. To fill the jars quickly’, since speed is important to prevent bacteria from developing, lay the jars on a large utility pan, and place it right next to the kettle in which vegeta bles have been cooked. Ladle in vegetables as quickly as possible. In most cases, add liquid to within one half inch of the top. For starchy vegetables like corn and peas, leave one inch space at top. Adjust the cover according to manufacturer's directions. How to Process. As soon as the jars are ready, they should be speeded into pressure cooker or boiling water bath. If you can possibly get a pressure cooker use it as it will save time, give bet ter results. It is the method recom mended by the United States depart ment of agriculture. All pressure cookers vary in some way as to the closing of the cover, and it’s best^ to follow directions that come with it. These, however, are points well worth remembering with a pressure cooker: have 1 to i inches of hot wa ter at the bottom: place jars on the rack; make sure cover is fastened securely; permit steam to escape from petcock for 7 to 10 minutes before closing. Do not count procesing time until the meter registers the desired pres sure. The best way to prevent liquid from escaping from the jars is to keep the temperature even. It should not fluctuate as this causes the con tents of the jar to boil over and over cooks the vegetable. Cooling Jars After the jars have processed ac cording to the table given above, set them on several thicknesses of cloth or newspaper and allow to cool away from a draft. Test for seal when cool and store in cool, dark place. Some jars need tightening after processing, others do not. Study the directions which come with the cov ers, as the manufacturer know’s what treatment is necessary in the case of his particular brand. Common Queries. 1. Is it necessary to boil vegeta bles before using? Home-canned vegetables should always be boiled before tasting or using, for 10 to 15 minutes. 2. What is meant by non-acid veg etables? Non-acid vegetables include all vegetables except tomatoes, ripe pi mientoes or sauer kraut Since most vegetables are non - acid, they might contain bot ulinis, a type of bacteria which could be harmful ana tney require a steam pressure cooker to destroy it during process ing. 3. Should salt be added to vegeta bles in canning? Salt is usually added in the pro portion of 1 teaspoon per quart for purposes of seasoning. It may be omitted.

Farm Employment Total farm employment in th« United States in 1944 was about 7 per cent less than the average of the period 1935-39, according to esti mates of the Bureau of Agricul tural Economics. During 1943 the farms of the nation were operated with a total farm employment 5 per cent below the five prewar years. This means, therefore, that the total employment was reduced in 1944 about 2 per cent below the average employed during 1943. In the 1935 39 period about 10,700,000 people were engaged in farm employment on the average. Roughly three fourths of these were family work ers, and about one-fourth was hired labor. In Illinois, Indiana, Michi gan, Ohio and Wisconsin about 1,475,000 were employed on the aver age during the same period, of whom 77 per cent were family la borers. For 1944 the proportion of family labor was unchanged for the nation, but for the foregoing states the proportion represented by family labor had increased to 83 per cent TAILOR & HAT CLEANING SHOP 1837 North 24th St. J.
