The chant of the auctioneer, the penetrating aromas of freshly-cured tobacco and the hurrying to and fro of warehouse personnel%wtfl be combined throughout Eastern North Carolina as another marketing season gets underway. The picture above was made two years ago in one of the local warehouses. Hie same scene will be re-enacted. Growers are optimistic over receiving record prices for their 1950 crop. Household Hints Gambling in home canning doesn’t pay—and that’s putting it mildly, home canning specialists say. Urey explain that any housewife who is going to the trouble and time of can ning should make sure that all equip ment is in best condition and that she uses fresh food of good quality and follows the most up-to-date direc tions. Housewives sometimes are tempted to save a penny here and there by using imperfect jars or lids. That’s hazardous. Any jar with the slight est crack or chip should be discarded because these defects may prevent an airtight seal and thus lead to spoilage. The same is true of lids with dented or spread edges, or ma sonry-type tops with loose or crack ed linings. The flat lids of two-piece metal closures cannot be re-used so should be discarded when the jar of food is opened. Generally it is safest to buy these lids new each year, even if some unused are left from the year before. The pressure gage of a canner should be checked fbr accuracy each year. The specialists remind housewives that canning cannot improve any food and therefore that putting up poor quality food does not pay. They ad vise using only fresh, firm, sound fruits and young tender vegetables, and canning them as soon after har vest as possible. How “C-Rich” are your canned to matoes?
