STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMEMAKER
By VERNON STANTON
Assistant State Agent
A supply of home-canned pump
kin, ready to make up into pie,
is such a convenience that many
housewives now include pumpkin
in their fall canning schedule as
a matter of course.
A new method of putting up
strained pumpkin?thick, concen
trated in flavor and all ready to
mix with other ingredients for pie
filling ? is recommended by home
canning specialists of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture as a re
sult of recent research. This is the
way to can pumpkin for making
pies in a hurry. However, if the
hurry is at canning season, a short
er way is to put up cubes of pump
kin, which gives a milder-flavored
filling. Before using the canned
cubes in pies, they must be drain
ed, strained and cooked down.
Whichever method is chosen,
the first step is to wash the pump
kin, remove the seedsT"peel and
will include public speaking, seed
judging, livestock judging, ath
letic day, etc.
The teachers' time was devoted
to the G. I. program in their com
munities.

CLOSEUP OF 'SKY CUEEN' DOWN ON THE ATLANTA
TH!S VIEW OP THE STRICKEN FLYING BOAT, BERMUDA SKY QUEEN was taken as rescue operations by the
Coast Guard cutter Bibb were under way. All of the airliner's 69 passengers and crew members were safely
removed to the rescue ship. A passenger on the ditched craft stands at the open door awaiting his turn to be
transferred to the cutter. During preliminaries to dramatic Atlantic Ocean rescue, plane's bow was damaged
in collision with the Bibb. At upper window Is pilot of the flying boat, Charles Marti*. This photo was made
from a life raft by one of the ill-fated plane's sixty-nine survivors. (faltr national Soundphoto)
cut into one-inch cubes.
For strained pumpkin, steam
the cubes until tender ? about 25
minutes. Put them through a food
mill or strainer. Simmer until hot
throughout, using low heat and
stirring to prevent sticking and
scorching on the bottom of the pan.
Pack the strained pumpkin hot in
glass jars, using no liquid or salt,
and filling to a half inch of the top.
Adjust lids. Process at 10 pounds
pressure, (240 F.). Pint jars need
60 minutes; quarts, 80. Remove
from canner and complete seals,
if not of self-sealing type.
To can the cubes, place in a
kettle, add just enough water to
cover, bring to boil, pack hot in
glass jars to a half inch of top.
Cover with the hot cooking liquid,
leaving a half inch space at top.
Add a half teaspoon salt to pint
jar|, one teaspoon to quarts. Ad
just lids. Process at 10 pounds pres
sure (240 F.). Pint jars need 55
minutes; quarts, 90. As soon as
the jars are out of the canner, com
plete seal if not of self-sealing
type.
Where legumes follow small
grata in a crop rotation system,
lime is very important. It is ad
visable to apply 1,000 to 2,000
pounds of finely ground dolomitic
limestone on soils, which have not
been limed- recently.

North Carolina, says H. R. Nis
wonger, in charge of Horticulture
for the State College Extension
Service.
These varieties, Turley and
Wealthy, are now fruiting among
other new varieties on trial test, in
the Brushy Mountain area, Mr.
Niswonger said.
The Turley resembles the Stay
man variety in type and flavor and
does not crack at the stem end.
The apple is solid in color and
medium to large in size. The tree
is vigorous, bears at an early age,
and matures along with the Stay
man variety.
The Wealthy, although not ex
actly a new variety, but new to
many commercial growers as it
is rarely found in our present
commercial orchards, is a very
red apple, moderate in size and oft
fihe quality. The tree does not
grow to a large size and can be
used as a filler in planting where
a pollonizer for other varieties is
needed. It bears early and is ready
for the market in late summer be
fore the Delicious variety, Mr. Nis
wonger said.
Methods of merchandising and
distributing canned and frozen
fruits and vegetables by cooper
atives will be studied in a pro
ject approved under the Research
and Marketing Act of 1946.

When possible, it is well to see
the sire and dam of the feeder
calf before buying because milk
fat on a young animal is often
quite deceptive and unless he has
good blood and individuality back
of him he is apt to be disappointing
as he gets older.
