, HOME-CANNED BERRIES
1 TAKE LITTLE SUGAR

Home canned berries play leading roles in the pantry because they
contribute vitamins and minerals for health, can be used in many ways,
and arc < asy and inexpensive to can.
Blackberries, blueberries, boyscnberries, raspberries, elderberries—
can them all and others, too, with little or no sugar. Sugar gives them I
bettor flavor and more calorics, but
has nothing to do with keeping quali
ties.
Berries are too precious to waste
and none will be wasted if you will
see to it that every step taken is
the right one. First of all, wash,
rinse and examine your jars. Be
sure to inspect the top edges of
those to be sealed with glass top
seal or two-piece vacuum seal clo
sures because top seals refuse to
work unless tops of the jars are per
fect. Cover jars, glass lids, and
zinc caps with luko-warm water,
heat to boiling and keep hot until
needed. Wash and rinse rubbers
and vacuum seal lids and drop them
in boiling water—they don’t need
boiling unless you plan to do old
fashioned open kettle canning—then
they must be boiled a few minutes to
sterilize.
Every berry must be fresh, sound,
ripe, and firm. Wash them carefully
and then take your choice of can
ning methods.
Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service
Director" of Ball Brothers Company,
prefers to hot-pack berries. This is
how it is done. Place berries in a
wide, shallow pan; add one-half cup
sugar, or less, for each quart of ber
ries; set the pan over low heat and
simmer until the berries heat
through and the sugar dissolves (re
member you don’t have to use any
sugar); pour the hot berries into
clean, hot jars and process five min
utes in hot water-bath canner.

w E of the Greyhound family hold a firm admiration for our passengers. For when
it comes to bearing up, when war travel emergencies and problems are bearing
down, they're 100 proof ... 100 per cent! In fact, as a group they are the most
cooperative, most cheerfully indulgent folks it's been our good fortune to know.
Fewer conveniences have made no rift in our long and pleasant travel relationship.
They accept wartime conditions as they are . . . relinquish their good American
prerogative to travel how, when and where they please, all in the cause of Victory.
Greyhound passengers are flying their true colors every day that rolls around . . . and
they can depend upon Greyhound to do its level best by them, to prove worthy of
their continued good will and loyalty.

If you prefer cold packing, fill a
jar about half full with raw ber- |
ries, then tap it gen »y on a folded
cloth to shake the berries down.
When the jar is filled to within a
half-inch of the top, add enough hot
syrup to cover the berries. Process
20 minutes in a water-bath canner.
Syrup for four quarts of berries
may be made by boiling two cups
sugar and three cups water or berry
juice together until the sugar dis
solves. If you are a little short on
sugar—and who isn’t these days?—
try making the syrup of one meas
ure sugar, one measure corn syrup,
and one-half measure water or berry
juice. This syrup seems rather thick
and sweet, but it will become thin
ner and less sweet after it has been
with the berries a few weeks. And
if you have no sugar at all, cover
the berries with hot berry juice or
boiling water; seal or partly seal the
jars (follow the manufacturer’s in
structions) and process 20 minutes
in a water-bath canner.
If you want your berries to really
star, can them without sugar. Then
they can bo used as if they were
fresh from the patch. The juice can
be drained off and used for making
jelly. The berries can go into a pie
or into jam—a jam turnover tucked
in a lunch box will make the noon
hour much more pleasant for some
body and surely you need nobody to
tell you that jelly and jam are far
more delicious when freshly mad*
than at any other time.

SERVICE ON HOME FRONT
The Standard Oil Company is
running a series of advertise
ments in tiie Home Journal and
other Georgia newspapers.
These are unique, in that they
make no mention of Standard Oil
Products. They are designed to
let the public know what Stand
ard Oil agents, dealers, tank
wagon drivers, etc., are doing on
the home front in the present
war emergency.
The Standard Oil Company has
been serving the people of Hous
ton coun-ty fur many years. They
began this service back in the
days when coal-oil and axle
grease were their principal pro
ducts, when roads were bad, and
when serving the rural South
was difficult. In those days, we
didn't have electricity, and the
people depended upon the Stand-
I ard Oil Company for the kero
sene to light their lamps. And
I good weather or bad, they al
| ways managed to get this kero-
I sene to us.
When the automobile came
{along, they made gasoline and
motor oil available from one end
lof Georgia to the other. They’ve
never forgotten their country
friends, who were their first
customers. Today, wherever we
drive, we’re never far from a
Standard station.
The Standard Oil Company of
Kentucky is a good example of a
Southern business organization
of the South, for the South, and
by the South serving the peo
ple of the South with necessary
products of dependability.
Georgia’s prison population is
the smallest it has been in the
last decade and many counties
are clamoring for additional con
victs to do road and bridge work,
according to a report from the
Slate Board of Prisons, which
showed there are now only 5.8U0
prisoners in the entire prison
system, including Tatnall Prison,
the women’s prison and all high
way and county convict camps.
This is a reduction of more than
2,5UU in three years.

100,000 Volunteers Needed
\
To Save Georgians Crops
*
i
See tyom (Zouaty 'Tfaev
-M.ORE titan 100,000 men and women, boys and girls,
are urgently needed to help Georgia farmers harvest their
1943 crops. Unless this help is forthcoming, a part of our
vital food production for this year will be lost.
Our farms are actually short upwards of 100,000 work
ers. That many able-bodied young men have gone away to
j the armed forces and the war plants, and there have been
few replacements for them. The shortage of farm workers
varies from 15 to 30 per cent over the state.
'fyai+nat /4cncaye “Planted
Tn spite of this manpower shortage, Georgia farmers
have managed, by dint of hack-breaking work, to plant nor
mal acreages. They have kept the fields cultivated. They
managed to harvest most of the early fruits and vegetables.
They got along somehow with what help they had.
The biggest job the harvesting of the main crops
lies ahead.
It cannot all be done with the labor still left on the
farms. Our Georgia food production now needs the help of
volunteers. We may be able to harvest all of our food if
enough of us put in spare-time work.
'Volunteer 'fyou r
If you live in town and have any free time at all, your
help is needed. Boys and girls, business men and house
wives, are urged to offer their services. If you were brought
up on the farm or have had any farm experience, you will
be especially useful.
Register at once with your County Agent. He’s the man
responsible for the manpower program. Tell him YOU are
.willing to help save our priceless food supply.
