SELLING CANNED GOODS
Since the Federal laws governing
the interstate shipment of food require
cans to be filled as full of food as is
practicable for processing, and to con
tain only enougih liquor to fill the
spaces and cover the contents, it is
necessary to see that all the cans are
filled to a maximum capacity. A num
ber of containers should be weighed
1, fore and after filling in order that
an accurate idea of the average net
weight —in other words, the weight of
the contents exclusive of the can—‘may
be obtained. It should also be remem
bered that corn expands in processing
tr> such an extent that containers filled
it can not be packed as full as
with other vegetables. Tho cans should
b, marked with a pencil or knife to
c', io w the contents. The necessity for
this work should he foreseen so that
there may be no delay and that the
filled cans do not stand for any length
0 ; time before the air is exhausted
rom them.
After the fruit or vegetable is in
be can, brine, sirup, or water should

of the top and the can shaken gently
to displace all air within it. The

cleaned and wiped and the cap slipped
on. In order to make sure that the con
tents of the can have the required
weight, the container should be
weighed carefully before sealing.
If the weight is satisfactory, iiux
should be applied carefully around the
gtoove with a small brush or cord,
or a little mop made by tying a piece
of clean white cloth around the end
of a small stick. Great care must be
taken to see that none of the flux en
tei s the can. The clean, hot capping
steel is then applied, the cap being
held in place with the center rod. As
the steel is lowered it should be turn
ed steadily until the solder flows. Hold
the rod firmly and lift the steel with
a sudden twist to swing the melted
solder evenly around the groove.
Exhausting and Sterilizing.
The next step is to exhaust the air
f’om the cans. To do this they should
be placed in trays and lowered into
boiling water to within one inch of
the top. Ordinarily three minutes is
long enough for the cans to remain in
the w r ater, which need not be brought
again to the boiling point before the
cans are taken out. A temperature of
ISO degrees F. is frequently sufficient
fcv exhausting. Failure to exhaust re
sults in the air which is left In tlm can
expanding. This causes the can to
bulge and gives the appearance of a
“swell” which will not only prevent,
the sale of that can, but prejudices
THE BARTOW TRIBUNE-THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS, JULY 5 1917
customers in future. The leaders in
the government canning work insist
that wherever the “4-H Brand’’ label
is used, exhausting shall be done.
After exhausting, the small hole in
the top of the can must be closed im
mediately To do this apply flux as for
capping and use a little wire solder to
close the hole. Hold the solder with the
left hand near the hole and barely
touch the hot copper to it, so that on
ly a bead will drop.
It now remains to sterilize the con-
Icuts of the scaled cans. For beans,
corn, peas, and asi>aragus intermit
tent processing is recommended. Un
der this method sterilization is car
ried on for one hour for three succes
sive days. The cans are lowered slow
ly under water that is boiling vigor
ously at the time. Naturally It ceases
to boil as soon as the cans are immers
ed hut will begin to boil again a short
time later. The time of processing is
counted from the moment when the
Wc ter befdns to boil again and it must
be kept boiling constantly throughout
the entire (hour. In the case of very
young string beans and some other
easily sterilized vegetables, the pro
cessing is reduced to one hour for two
successive days.
As soon as the processing is over,
the cans should be cooled as rapidly
as possible in order to stop cooking,
which breaks down the fruit and in
jures the flavor and color. It is well to
plunge the cans into very cold water.
They should never be stacked close
together until they are entirely cold.
The labeling should be done with a
rather dry paste which is put only on
the end of the label so that it does not
touch the tin. Paste may cause rust,
and in damp climates it is sometimes
customary to lacquer, the outside of
the can before it is labeled. The la
bel, if the product is intended for sale,
must contain the net weight in pounds
and ounces and the packer’* name and
address.
In packing fruits and vegetables it
pis necessary t.o surround them with
brine, sirup or water, but under the
terms of the Federal law governing
the interstate shipment of canned
canned goods no more of this liquor is
allowed than is actually necessary to
covet the contents after as full a pack
as possible Is made. With tomatoes no
water whatever should be added and
,no tomato juice should he added in ex
cess of the amount in the tomatoes
canned.
Add Sugar and Salt.
In addition to the liquor a mixture
of sugar and salt adds greatly to the
flavor of such products as tomatoes,
peas, lima beans and corn. The mix
ture recommended by the government
specialists in canning is composed of
one-third salt and two-thirds sugar.
Two level teaspoonfuls of this are
placed in a. No. 3 can and one tea
spoonful in a No. 2 can. For beans,
okra, cauliflower, etc., a brine con
taining 2 1-2 ounces of salt to a gallon
of water is used. For asparagus a heav
ier brine, 4 ounces to a gallon of wat
er, is needed.
In order to conserve the supply of
tin cans it is strongly urged that all
products intended for home use should
be put up, whenever possible, in glass.
The hermetic type of jar, however, is
not a suitable one for intermittent pro
cessing, for which the best type is a
glass-top jar with wire clamps. The
clamps should be raised at the begin
ning of each processing to allow for
expansion.

ORCHARD NOTES FOR JULY, 1917.
APPLES. All apples ripening in tho
late summer and fall should have a
thorough spraying with Bordeaux mix
ture as follows:
Copper Sulphate (bluestone)... .4 lbs.
Lime (unslaked) 5 lbs.
Water 50 gal.
Dissolve the Copper Sulphate in 25
gallons of water. Slake the lime in an
other 25 gallons of water. Pour the
two together into a third barrel.
This is to control the bitter rot of
the‘apple, which is found in almost
every orchard in the state.
Cut and destroy blighted branches.
If trees are making too vigorous a
growth, pruning may be done to ad
vantage.
PEACHES. Peaches ripening in
August or later should have an appli
cation of self-boiled lime-sulphur early
in July.
GRAPES. varieties should have
an application of Bordeaux for black
rot.
Go over the orchard and look for
signs of insects and diseases. Keep
all weeds cleaned from aiound the
trees.
If the orchard has not already been
planted, sow to cowpeas either in rows
or broadcast are best.
It is not advisable to plant the or
chard at this season. It is better to
vork it into condition with a disc har
row.
GARDEN NOTES FOR JULY, 1917.
The following cro>ps may be planted
in July:
Beans (bush), cabbage (sow seed
for fall crops), collards (sow seed for
fall crops), c,elery (sow seed for fall
crops), potatoes (Irish), rutabaga,
tomatoes.
It is a common custom to let the
garden grow up to weeds during the
summer. This is bad practice to say
the least and should be abolished. The
weeds rob the soil of plant food and
moisture that should be saved for the
fall crop.
As fast as the summer vegetables'
are removed, the ground should be
prepared for another crop. Some of
the crops in the above list may be put
in or the ground may be left for the
later crops of turnips, onions, etc.
If manure is to be used for the fall
garden, it should be composted now
end allowed to rot for a while.
Sweet potatoes may still be planted
to advantage. The crop will mature
more quickly if vine cuttings are used
instead of draws.
The scarcity and high price of cans
v\ill make it necessary to save many
vegetables by drying. Beans, corn and
okna can be dried for winter use. In
formation as to the methods of drying
will be given on request.
