Vegetable Canning Tips
The surprise point values on vege
tables when stocks were beginning
to dwindle this
year made many
a woman vow not
to get caught
short-handed this
^ following winter
Though it may
mean a few hours
of solid work,
vegetable canning
is certain to be,
worth the time
and effort put into it.
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

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
