The actual preparation of foods | for freezing is easier than fori cannning, and all vegetables, ex cept the ' salad" vegetables, can ! be successfully frozen. Some varie- 1 ties of vegetables, however, are better adapted to freezing than ethers. State agricultural colleges, county agents, or seed dealers can usually recommend varieties best adapted to locaf conditions. Only top-grade, fresh vegetables should be frozen. Freezing does not improve the quality of foods, but it does retain full flavor and nutritional value. If the homemaker raises her own vegetables, she should pick them for freezing early in the morning. If she buys them, she should arrange to get them within an hour or two after picking. \egetables in prime condition for table use are considered best for freezing. Vegetables are prepared for freezing in much the same way as for cooking.

Need Home Food Gardens Now as Much as in War Says Secretary Marshall Freedom gardens this year are as necessary to the national welfare as were Victory gardens during the war, Secretary of State Marshall told the National Freedom Garden Conference in W ashington D. C. He said: "Food today is just as vital, probably more than during the war. No time in our history has the production and conservation of food been so important. Anything that can be done to stimulate the crowing of food In individuals in local gardens should be done, and will be tremendously helpful to meet the great problem now before us. I don't speak theoreti- j rally from a desk in the State Department. I ordered my seeds and sets i this year ten days ago. My problem is, do I negotiate or do I hoe, plant j mi.u wcvu. i propose uoing Doin. To prove his qualification as a "dirt gardener" the secretary told the following storv, which may well be come a classic: "When Mrs. Marshall and I return ed from China we brought with us a Chinese woman named Anna. She had a very definite belief in two things: one was the dominance of the male in the household, and the other was the fact that food was the great est motivating force in our lives. "The second day I was Secretary of State I managed to escape for a few hours and motor down to mv house in Leeshurg and was jubilantly greeted by Mrs. Marshall with the news that she had at last, after two or three years of effort obtained a truck -load of, putting it politely, fer tilizer, I was immediately put to work to distribute this great soil improver with a shovel and wheelbarrow. "Anna spied me. I might explain that in China probably the lowest form of human life is the man with the wheelbarrow. She was pro foundly shocked, rushed out of the house and we enjoyed in a genuine struggle over the possession of the wheelbarrows "She said what I was ' doing was utterly repugnant to her in that, in lx r belief, it lowered ana humiliated the position of the Secre tary of State if it did not affect the general Government. My reaction j was, I would enjoy doing it. I settled | the argument by virtue of greater physical strength. But she remained iixed in that feeling. *\Ve all, I think agree with her concept as to the re lationship of food to the people of the Secretary and Mrs. Marshall lool over their lrreedom Garden. } world but there was a slight difference in the manner of implementation." td and carefully sorted to elimi- 1 nate inferior vegetables. Sorting by size also makes packing easier To blanch ? which should never be ommitted except for freezing green peppers and pimientos ? -use ! a large kettle with about four ouarts of boiling water and blanch j about one pound of vegetables at a time. <Do not use an iron kettle for green beans or asparagus as it. will discolor them.) Place vegetables in a wire basket or cheesecloth and immerse in the boiling water. Count blanching time from moment vegetables arc immersed. To blanch with steam, use a rack to hold vegetables above water. Place vegetables in wire basket or cheesecloth on rack Place lid on kettle and begin to count the time when steam issues freely from around cover. Blanch ing time by steam increases by one-half over time for the boiling water method. Leafy vegetables should be prepared for freezing only by the water method. Chill quiekly and thoroughly after blanehing by plunging vege tables in ieed or cold water. Drain en several thicknesses of absor bent paper toweling on a tray. Moisture clinging to the vegetab les when packed will cause exces sive ice crystals. Pack in moisture-vapor-proof packages in sizes suited to the size ol the family. Make packages air tight and seal with a warm iron or curling iron. Start freezing immediately after the package is filled if possible. If it is not possible, place packages in the refrigerator and transfer to home freezer as soon as possible. Do not attempt to freeze too many packages at once. Spread packages evenly in the freezing compart ment of the home freezer and leave for 24 hours After this time. COMMISSION OF BANKS. STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA RALEIGH. N. C.
