requirements for 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 V' added to within fourth of an inch of the top and the can shaken gently to displace all air within it.

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. County Home Demonstration Department By MISS JESSIE BURTON. MISS BURTON COLUMN. 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. What is LAX-FOS LAX-FOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA A Digestive Liquid Laxative, Cathartic and Liver Tonic.
