Preserving Fruit
And Vegetables.
|
C. C. Vincent, associate professor of
horticulture at Olemson College, has
prepared the following bulletin, which
is of peculiar interest at this time:
To preserve fruit and vegetables for
exhibition in ort^er that they may appear
in their natural condition is a
process little understood by the majority
of people. However, if one has
the time and inclination to take the
proper precautions, very little difficulty
will be experienced id preparing
the fruit. Success lies in the proper
selection of specimens for preservation.
As much, if not more, depends
upon the selection and propsr handling
of the fruiu and vegetables than
upon the formula used. Never allow
specimens to become fully mature and,
to meet with the best success, they
should be placed in the preserving
fluid fully two days before thoroughly
ripened. The fruits selected should
be in the best possible condition and
without blemish of any kind.
After washing in clear, cold water
to remove all dust, dirt, spores, or
other foreign matter, place carefully
in the receiving jar. Avoid handling
the specimens any more than is really
necessary. After filling the jar as fall
as possible without braising the ifruit,
the liquid should be poured in. Some
writers recommend straining the liquid
through several layers of cheese
cloth. This is a good plan. Make the
lid air tight ancl place in a dark room
at a temperature of 30 to 40 degrees F.
The jars should be examined every few
days and if found fermenting the liquid
should be removed, the fruit rinsed,
and new liquid used, varying the
proportion of chemicals.
The following formulas have been
used quite sun-tssfally in preparing
fruit for exhibition:
"? To wA?M>ahlaa ennVi ac cnnnchoa
J. t AU f* ^ ?UVU MW
cucumbers, unions, dissolve one pint
of pure elf an table salt in every gallon
of water used. Allow this solution
to str^d twelve hours then strain
throngn several, layers of cheese cloth
and pour over vegetables.
> , 2. For strawberries, blackberries,
raspberries, and currants use clear
water-white kerosene, but be sure that
no water remains on the berries.
S. For pears, peaches, and plums
use cme quart of glucose and one-half
ounee of formaldehyde to every gallon
of water.
4. For apples use one and a half
?eaces of formaldehyde to every gallon
of water.
5. For fruit in general, use one pint
of glycerine, five ounces powdered borax
to every gallon of water, then af
ter niceen aays aaa two ounces iunualdehyde
to each gallon for dark fruits,
and two ounces of sulphurous acid to
all light colored fruits.

COTTON RED SPIDER
Press Bulletin No. LXXXI
Even now in some fields the red
spider is beginning to do its damage,
and this will become more evident as
our warmer and drier summer weather
comes on. This damage can be recognized
by the reddish discoloration of
the leaf of the plant infested, beginning
at the base of the leaf where the
stem is attached and spreading out
oyer the entire leaf. Different from
the damage done by what is known as
''cotton rust,!' the leaves affected by
the red spider shrivel and drop off.
The so-called red spider is not a spider
at all, but a little red mite, which cuts
into the leaf and sucks the sap out of
the plant.
Infestation will be observed to begin
usually near the edge of th8 field.
This is due to the fact that the spiders
pass througn the winter on green vegetation,
such as we commonly find
about the edges of fields and along
ditch banks. When the cotton has
become well started, they wander on
to this and begin to spread. They lay
numbers of reddish colored eggs on the
under surface of the leaf, and spin
over these a fine web to hold themselves
to the leaf while at work and to
protect their young. Various agencies,
such as the plow going through the
field, a stray dog, or the wind, distribute
the pests for a distance often of
many yards.
From these facts it can Jbe clearly
seen that a good remedy for the red
spider is a preventive one?to keep
down by fall turning of the land the
green weeds common about the edges
of the field. The next precaution to
1 l-U A I

start. Spray the infested area with a
one percent, lime sulphur solution.
Makeup the same kind of solution
you used for a winter spray for the
scale on your peach and apple trees
and dilute this about twelve times. If
you do not recall how to make this
solution, full information will be
*
furnished upon request by the Division
of Entomology, Clemson College, S. C.
If you have the commercial limesulphur
solution,' dilute 99 parts of
water to f of the solution. Apply this
with a spray pump with Vermorel or
Misty nozzle producing a fine mist and
get this to cover the under side of the
leaves thoroughly. Should a spray
pump not be available, uee an old
broom or something of this type and
attempt the same thing. If these steps
are taken as soon as the form begins
to spread, it is a comparatively easy
mvtter tn nnntrol the Dest: but if de
layed it is almost an impractical matter
for a farmer in his early season to
treat a whole acre even with a good
barrel spray pump. The red spider
will be noted as of much more damage
during dry weather than when we
have plenty of rain; and often, though
not always, a good, heavy shower is
better than any remedial measure man
can apply.

SOME ADVICE TO THE
FARMER.
I would like to make a few sugges-tions
to the farmer a9 to how he can
oeip in big and little ways to make his
tvife, as she ought to be, the happiest
llld Dest contented woman on eurui.
If there is a telephone line in reach
3f you, have a phone put in your
aouse. If there is none, get together
>vith your neighbors and build one. It
sviil pay you as well as give pleasure
to your family.
Get to vrcrk on good roads in your
2ommunity, if you haven't them already.
Then get a gentle horse your
svife can drive and see that it is at her
disposal at least once a week. Get a
buggy for her to ride in instead of
having to use the old heavy farm
waguu.
Subscribe for one or two good mag
azines for her.
Make her your business partner and
consult with her about everything.
The chances are she has just as much
sense and business jugment as you
have and she may have more.
And remember that anything you
can do to increase your wife's health
and happiness will increase your own
and that of the whole family.?Mrs.

URGES FAIRNESS TO
THE FARMERS.
Lever Thwarts Senate's
Attempt to Change Cotton
Statistics Bill.
A special to The News and Courier
from Washington on Wednesday says:
Representative A. F, Lever, this morning
tamed a neat trick in the interest
of the cotton growers of the country,
?1? ? f.Vio rnmmif..
YVUtJli JJO U&LVtb vuu vvuuaan
tee on census, at the request of its
chairman, in opposition to the Senate
amendment to the House bill, of which
he was a joint author, authorizing the
director of the census to publish statistics
concerning the amount of cotton
ginned, the quantity of raw cotton
consumed in manufacturing establishments
of every character, the
quantity of baled cotton on hand, the
number of active consuming cotton
spindles and the quantity of cotton
imported and exported, with the
country of origin and destination.
The law now requires that statistics
of the quantity of! cotton ginned shall
be published teu times yearly and under
the resolution introduced by Mr.
Lever and passed several years ago,
the quantity of cotton consumed in
manufacturing establishments and the
quantity of baled cotton on hand also
should be published quarterly. A
number of members from the South
during the earlier days of the session,
collaborated the bill, which not only
requires the publication of full statistics
as to the amount of cotton ginned,
but also statistics as to the amount of
cotton consumed in manufacturing establishments,
ami the quantity of
baled cotton on hand and the number
of active consuming cotton spindles,
and the quantity of cotton imported
and exported, and that these figures
should be published monthly, so that
the farmers would be given the same
information,, with respect of the consumption
of cotton and the demand
for it, as the law now gives to the consumers,
with respect of the amonnt of
production
This bill passed the House without
any serious trouble, but the Senate
amended it so that the statistics of the
quantity of cotton consumed in manufacturing
establishments and the
quantity of baled cotton on hand
should be published only -uarterly in
each year. Mr. Lever was asked to
come before the committee and give
his version upon the Senate amend
- t? 1.. J
mailt, and bo very strongly oDjecteu
to it on the ground that there could be
no hardship upon the manufacturer of
cotton to give a monthly statement as
to the amount corisumed in his establishment,
and the quantity of baled
cotton on hand. He also urged that
it was onlj' fair to the farmer that the
manufacturer should be made to give
to the public the situation with respect
of the amount of cotton being consumed
in his establishment, and the
quantity of it on hand, if the farmer
is to be compelled to give to the world
ten times a year the amount of cotton
ginned from time to time. The committee
unanimously disagreed to the
Senate amendment and will urge the
bill as it passed the House. Mr. Lever,
of course, is quite happy over the
result, believing, as he doe3, that it
means only fairness and justice to the
cotton farmers and to the entire rotton
trade.
