Reddy Kilowatt says, “I’m really busy these days helping with
the freezer lockers and the home canning. It makes me feel mighty
bad when jars are broken or food spoiled because someone didn’t
know whether to screw the lid down tight or leave it partially open
when processing. This is an important part of canning and well
worth a little study. Why not check with your Home Demonstra
tion Agent or the Home Service Adviser?
