Preseniing Hints
For Fruits. Vegetables
By Naomi Hubble,
Home Demonstration Agent
if you want to preserve the
flavor, color, arid food value of
garden-fresh vegetables and
fruits, you have to be careful
every step of the way — from
garden to freezer or pantry
shelf. In Athens, Miss Nell
Thrash, food preservationist,
Agricultural Extension Service,
said the first thing to consider
in aiming for high-quality fro¬
zen or canned foods is the use
of recommended Varieties. “A
lot of research has gone into
this phase of food preservation
and it is a shame for a home¬
maker to fail to take advantage
of the results of the research
and not use the recommended
varieties. It is important to har¬
vest fruits and vegetables at the
right time—too early or too late
and the frozen or canned food
will lose some of its goodness.
Working up small amounts of
produce at a time will allow the
homemaker to finish the job
quicker. Picked at the peak of
flavor, vegetables lose that fla¬
vor fast and should not be al¬
lowed to stand long after har¬
vesting. However, the flavor of
most tree-or vine-ripened fruits
may be improved by standing
overnight. Another advantage of
working in small amounts is that
the foods will ‘quick freeze'. If
layer after layer of foods are
stacked into a freezer it may
take several days to freeze solid.
One of the most necessary
steps in the entire procedure is
blanching. Under-blanching or
over-blanching results in a poor
food product. Selection of cir-
rect containers—rigid ones for
fruits and polyethelene bags ’

farms must be visited by a rep¬
resentative of the ASC County

measurement of crop acreages.
Mr. Bradley stated that wheat
acreage determinations have
already been cpmpleted and that
tobacco acreages have been de¬
termined on most farms but
that the work of measuring oth¬
er crops on a majority of the
farms is yet to be done. Be¬
cause marketing quotas are in
effect, the acreage of tobacco,
cotton, and peanuts on each
farm must be measured. The
corn acreage, in the 14 commer¬
