SAVE THE TOMATOES
Canned Tomatoes
Pick tomatoes from vine when they
are beginning to turn red and place
on shelves in shade until thoroughly
ripe.
Select only ripe tomatoes for can
ning. Any fruit less well colored may
be used for soup mixture or ketchup.
One green or light colored tomato
will ruin the grade of the pack.
Blanch for one minute. The skin
will slip off easily. Do not peel any
more than may be immediately can
ned, as tomatoes ferment quickly.
Be careful to remove with sharp
knife the hard part of tomato at stem.
Put into cans as many whole to
matoes as possible, cutting them only
when they are too large to slip in.
Fill can to within 1-4 inch of top,
press gently and shake down fruit to
fill crevices.
A level teaspoonful of sugar and a
level teaspoonful of salt to a No. 3
can or a quart jar of tomatoes im
prove the flavor of the product. These
should be added when can is half ftjll.
Use no water with tomatoes. If
the can is properly filled the juice will
be sufficient. A No. 3 can of toma
toes when filled should weigh 38
ounces.
Exhause No. 3 tin cans 3 minutes;
seal; process 22 minutes.
When canning tomatoes in glass
jars, fill quite full and process quart
jars 30 minutes.
Soup Mixture
Five quarts tomatoes, 2 quarts
corn; 2 quarts okra or lima beans, 2
tablespoonfuls sugar (level), 2 table
spoonfuls salt (level). Scald and peel
tomatoes, cutting out green or hard
spots. Chop and measure. Cut young
and tender field or sugar corn from
cob. Slice okra in rings 1-2 inch
thick. Peel and quarter tomatoes.
Place all in open agate kettle and boil
until thick. Pour in No. 2 cans while
hot, seal, and process 1 hour. Pro
cess a No. 3 can 1 1-2 hour.
Always use an asbestos mat under
the kettle when boiling soup mixture.
It is very easily scorched.
When canning soup mixture in glass
jars, process quart jars 1 1-2 hour.
Process pint jars 1 hour.
Tomato Ketchup
Select only ripe tomatoes for ketch
up; wash, but do not peel; cut out
green cores and bad places; quarter,
measure, arid place on stove in open-
top porcelain-lined or agate vessel.
For every gallon of tomatoes add 1
level cup of finely chopped onions.
Boil until both tomato and onion are
soft. Strain juice and pulp through
a coarse wire sieve, mashing through
all the pulp possible. Measure this
strained pulp and juice and proceed
as in the following recipe:
2 gallons strained mixture tomatoes
and onions, 2 1-2 level teaspoonfuls
ground cloves, 3 level teaspoonfuls
ground ginger, 2 level teaspoonfuls
ground red pepper, 3 level tablespoon
fuls ground allspice, 1 level table
spoonful ground black pepper, 1 1-2
level cup (1-2 pint cup) sugar, 3-4
level cup (1-2 pint cup) salt, 1 quart
vinegar.
Place strained tomatoes in agate
vessel; add spices, sugar, and salt;

80,000 MEMBERS
Enthusiasm of the organized tobac
co farmers has increased with every
delivery day at the Association’s de
livery points in South Carolina.
In spite of heavy rains throughout
the week, members of the Association
delivered between three and four mil
lion pounds of the bright leaf to the
Co-operative Warehouses in the South
Carolina belt during the first week of
marketing.
So eager are the Association mem
bers to carry their tobacco to the Co
operative warehouses, that another
day has been added to the weekly
schedule of deliveries which will take
place on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Fridays, hereafter.
The success of co-operative market
ing at its first trial in South Caro
lina, and last week’s powerful drive
through eastern North Carolina have
brought in another regiment of new
members to the co operative ranks.
Twelve hundred new contracts reach-
Raleigh headquarters last week
and pushed the Association across its
goal of an 80,000 membership in the
three States.

gest Co-operative will continue to wel
come tobacco growers in Virginia and
Western North Carolina until the
markets of the old belt open.
A great mass meeting' of tobacco
farniers in Durham, with Oliver J.
feands, general manager of the As
sociation as principle speaker, will
begin the final campaign in Western
ISorth Carolina, August 19th.

WITH THE COTTON GROWERS
RALEIGH, Aug. 3.—With its or
ganization for handling this years
crop of its members complete, the
North Carolina Cotton Growers’ Co
operative Association is conducting an
intensive drive this month to bring
its total sign-up to six hundred thou
sand bales, which will be 75 per cent
of the estimated yield in North Caro
lina.
U. B. Blalock, of Wadesboro, gen
eral manager of the Association, was
kept busy most of the week looking
after his duties as president of the
North Carolina Farmers’ copvention,
which was in session at West Raleigh.
He is moving his family to Raleigh
and will devote his entire time to look
ing after the affairs at the head
quarters of the Association.
Arrangements for establishing
foreign connections to handle the four
hundred thousand bales that have been
signed up by the Association, were
niade last week at a conference of
directors of several Southern cotton
growers’ co-operative associations,
which was attended by President W.
H. Austin, Directors B. W. Kilgore
and L. D. Robinson and General Man
ager Blalock, of the North Carolina
Association. Chesley B. Howard, a
prominent Atlanta cotton merchant,
has been employed by the North Caro
lina, Georgia and Alabama associa
tions as sales manager to handle their
cotton.
Arrangements for financing the
handling of the cotton of the Co-op
erative Associations has proven to be
the easiest task of all. The War
Finance Corporation has agreed to

loan the North Carolina association
to the amount of ten million dollars,
but it is not expected that it will be
necessary to use much of this promis
ed loan as practically all the North
Carolina Banks have promised to
make advances on the same basis as
the War Finance Corporation.
When the cotton grower markets
his cotton through this association.
he will be given an advance on his
cotton, which will be about 60 per
cent of the market value of his cot
ton at the time he delivers it to the
association. He secures this advance
by attaching his warehouse receipt
or bill of lading to a sight draft on
the association. The later advances
will be made as the cotton is marketed.
