QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ON HOME CANNING
BY CLANCY MCCALEB
Q. Why is liquid sometimes
lost from glass jars during pro- j
cessing?
A. Loss of liquid may be due to
cooking fruit too short a time to
drive out the air that’s in it be
fore packing it in the jars—pack
ing jars too full—leaving air
bubbles in the jars—not keeping (
pressure steady in a pressure can- (
ner—lowering pressure too sud- (
denly at the end of the processing |
period. (
Q. Should liquid lost during (
processing be replaced? ,
A. No, never open a jar and re- i
fill with liquid—this would let in i
bacteria and you would need to i
process again. Loss of liquid does
not cause food to spoil, though :
the food above the liquid may
darken
Q. What causes cloudy liquid
in canned fruits and vegetables?
A. Cloudy liquid may be a sign
of spoilage. Or, it may be caused
by the minerals in hard water, or
by starch from over-mature veg
etables.
Q. How can you tell whether
food with cloudy liquid is spoil
ed?
A. Boil the food and note the
odor. Do not taste or use any
food having off odor.
Q. Why does canned fruit
sometimes float in jars?
A. Fruit may float because the
pack is too loose or the syrup too
heavy. Or perhaps air in the tis
sues of the fruit has not all been
forced out during pre-cooking
and processing.
Q. Why does the underside of
metal lids sometimes discolor?
A. Natural compounds in some
foods corrode the metal and make
a brown or black deposit on thej
underside of the lid. This de
posit is harmless and doesn’t
mean that the food in the jar is
unsafe to eat.
Q. Is it safe to leave food in tin !
cans after opening?
A. Yes, but like fresh cooked

VALUATIONS UP: W. W.
Gray, member of the Houston
county Board of Tax Assessorn,
says the board has worked very
hard to get land and other prop
erty valuations on an equal basis
despite strong protests from the
owners. He says there is no long
er any $2 an acre land in the
county and only a ‘‘very small
number of acres” of $3 an acre
land. The board has raised a
number of pieces of land during
the last year. He admits that the
situation is not perfect, but adds
that the valuations are being
equalized as rapidly as possible.
The assessors spent four full
days putting on the digest a large
number of Negro houses that had
never been on the books before.
Mr. Gray dropped by this week
to straighten us out on the tax
valuation work of the board. It
has been known for many years
that tax valuations were allowed
to remain unchanged despite im
provements to property and in
crease in valuations, and Mr.
Gray says these inequalities are
being corrected.
BIG FEED; J. C. Leverette re
ports about 500 people attended
the barbecue at Hattie Baptist
Church last Friday night and
that people were still eating bar
becue as late as 11 p. m. We had
a ticket but couldn’t make it.
I SYMPATHY: Say a word of
cheer to M. H. Boyer, manager of
the Muse Theatre, who is wear
ing a neck brace to straighten out
a couple of dislocated vertebrae.
This brace would be uncomfort
able in cool weather and must
feel like a hair shirt in this hot
spell we’re having. He had a car
wreck about a month ago and the
| injury just showed up about two
! weeks ago.
1 SPICED TALK: “It cranked
1 off hot this morning,” said Rev.
H. H. Heisler one day this week,
and we figure that is about as

I early morning heat. Another ex
pression sometimes used. “It got
up hot this morning, didn’t it?”
Only way to come does to stay
ing cool is to sit dead still.

Farm Production May Set
All-Time Record in 1951
American farmers can expect the
demand for their farm products in
1951 to be stronger than in 1950.
With normal weather conditions and
favorable control of insects and dis
eases, the production of farm pro
ducts should be greater than in 1950.
Consequently, with greater pro
duction and a stronger demand for
farm products, the gross farm in
come should be higher in 1951, the
agriculture department reports.
Farmers, however, will pay high
er prices for practically all impor
tant items of production in 1951.
Some of these items will probably
be the highest on record. In this
group will be such items as farm
machinery and equipment, fuels for
machinery, livestock purchases,
building and fencing materials and
wage rates.
Prices which farmers will pay for
such commodities as feed, seed and
fertilizer probably will be higher
than in 1950.
Garden Yardstick

For the gardener who Is al
ways In the need of a yardstick
or tape and never seems to have
one handy, here is an Idea that
will save much time and trou
ble. Make your hoe handle a
measuring stick by painting
bright rings on it at foot and
half foot distances from the end.
If apple trees were damaged by
cold weather last winter, cultiva
tion and fertilization will help
them, according to Extension
Service horticulturists.
