GRAHAM, N. C., Aug. 23, 1917.
The war situation in Europe, ex
cept on the Itussian front, is entirely
encouraging. The Russians have
done some good service lately, but
the internal conditions of that coun
try tend to distract the soldiers as
well as the other citizenship to such
an extent that the conduct of the sol
l"~ diers is not dependable for tho best
results.
On the West the French, English
and Canadian troops have fought
hard and many successes attained.
Prisoners and guns have been taken
and the enemy pushed hack with
heavy losses.
Everyono who reads the papers
closely tho to days will be forcibly
struck with tho magnitude of the
undertaking the government is suc
cessfully carrying forward to make
and equip a poweriul and elTective
army for this country. Great care
is being taken in the selection oi
men and tho same degree of care is
being exercised to properly train,
equip and care for them—all pre
requisites to the securement of a de
pendable soldiery.

CANNING AND DRYING FOR
WINTER USE. »
How to Utilize all of the Garden'*
Products to Help Meet the High
Cost of Living.
By F. F. Rockwell. Author of "Around the
Year In I lie Garden." "Hume
Gardenia*," etc., etc. Copyright I»17, by
W. Atlee Burpee 1 Co., Heed* Grower*,
I'hlladelptita.
Tho biggest source of lons in the
average small garden is not in
sects or diseases or dry weather,
us bad as these things are, but the
waste of products which are not
athered in time and goto seed or
get too old and tough to use.
The abundance of rain which
we have had so far in most sec
tions has kept the Emergency
Gardens planted green and grow
ing, but the hot dry weather we
are likely to get for the next few
weeks will cause crops to mature
very rapidly. Consequently, only
the gardener who is prepared will
be able to keep up with the sup
ply prevent a great deal of
unnecessary waste.
Even in the garden that has
been very carefully planned there
is sure to be a surplus of some
things. If one has made a big
planting of beans or corn especi
ally for winter use, provision is
naturally made to take care of
them, but it is the small surpluses
for which no such provision is
made and which go to waste be
fore one realizes it that make a
total loss of Very considerable
amount even in the small garden.
To utilize the garden's products
to the fullest extent you should
be prepared to save every extra
quart of beans or dozen ears of
corn that is likely to be produced.
Two ounces of drid string beans
will supply that part of a meal for
live people. It takes but two
ounces of dried apples to make a
large apple pie. So it. is evittent
thntpven the odds and ends are
well worth having, and to do this
saving with the least possible
trouble the apparatus and con
tainers necessary should be kept
on hand and ready to use at all
times. With the use of up-to
date methods this does not mean
very difficult work. "Up-to-date
methods" do not necessitate any
elaborate or expensive equipment.
The ordinary kitchen utensils,
with a few conveniences which
can easily be made at home, an
swer every purpose where only
small amounts are to be haudled.
Improved Canning Metlioda.
The modem method of canning
which is being quite universally
adopted everywhere with good re
sults and with great saving in work
is called th® "One Period Cold
Pack Method." The \egetables 01
fruits are put in the jars of cant>
while they are cool instead of being
dipped out of a steaming hot ket
tle with a certainty of a good
deal of hot and disagreeable work
and the risk of badly scalded fin
gera, if not a telephone call to
the nearest doctor.
In the One Period Cold Pack
Method there are four genearl rules
to be obeyed. They may seem so
obvious as to be hardly worth men
Honing, out any failure in results
can usually je found to be due di
rectly to carelessness in one oi
these four points.
First, each product to oe canned
should oe absolutely sound anu
perfectly clean; it should also bi
as fresh as it is possible to
It—preferably gathered the saint
day that it is to be put up.
Second, the utensils and all the
equipment and containers should b
not only carefully washed, but thor
oughly sterilized before work wkn
each '"batch of stuff" is begun.
Third, after being put in the con
tainers, the "processing" should bt
continued the full length of tlmt
that is required for the particular
product that is being put up—tht
time required for different things
varies greatly and one should bt
sure of having correct Information
on this point before beginning work
with any fruit or vegetable that
has not been handled before.
Pourth, after the '•processing" hat>
been completed the cans or Jars
must be made absolutely tight.
The "processing" as mentioneo
above conaists In placing the )ar>
or cana of vegetables or fruit, a(
ter th» latter have been packed in
aterillxed, hot containers and cov
ered with boiling liquid, in hot wa
ter or steam for a certain length
of time before they arc finally seal
ed preparatory to cooling off and
putting away. This time varies
from lit minutes to two hours for
different kinds of \egetables una
fruits where the Jars arc sterilized
in a hot water bath, auch as a
wash boiler with a bottom or Ira.v
to keep the Jars from coming in di
rect contact with with the m tal
over the fire, and to facilitate put
ting them in and out. Where the.v
can be sterilised in a steam cooker
or under slight pressure, much less
time is required.
There is not space here to give
itemized data on these points tor
the several dozen products that cna
be put up. If you want the most
authentic Information regarding
them, w lite to the Agricultural De

, While drying vegetables has been
in use a great many years—was.
in fact, used more years ago than
|it has been lately—a new method of
drying has Just been developed
which will be particularly useful to
those living In cities and towns
where there ia little space for the
string of canned goods but where
electricity ia availaole.
This new method of drying is, in
brief, simply this:. Cat op or slice
your vegetables or fruits in small
pieces so they will dry out readily.
Place them in thin layers in open
trays stacked One above another
and placed before an electric fan
which is kept running until they
dry out. If the market is flooded
with string beans you can get a
bushel" of them and blow all the
water you can out of them at a
of ten to twenty cents for elec
tricity. In the vtin'ter you put the
water into them again by letting
them soak over night, and you
have fresh string beans.
Some things, like beans are
"blanched"' before drying by be
ing lowered' into boiling or
placed in steam a lew minutes be
fore drying They should be dried
until no water can be pressed out
of a freshly broken pl^ce—that is,
until tough and leathery, but not
until crisp and brittle. To be sure
of getting each batch evenly dried
and sufficiently dried, each natch
of dried material should bo mixed
and "condltion?d" by pouring it
from one container to another two
or three times for the first few
days after drying. If too moist it
be put back and drk>d more. The
dried products should be kept from
the light after cirying, otherwise
they will lose color. For full par
ticulars and detuiled directions for
this new method drying send to
