Dehydrating is not a difficult job. However, it does take time—and constant at tention, especially at the begin ning and the end of the process. Directions for dehydrating several kinds of fruits and vegetables are given in our publication mention ed above. Fall vegetables must be planted in time. Every day counts, as one day’s delay is one link nearer “Jack Frost.” Cultivate and clean up ground where vegetables have matured. Decaying vegetables and vegetable plahts are likely to increase dis ease and insect damage next sea son. Gathering vegetabes, fruits and flowers when ready encourages longer bearing. Sweet corn loses some of its sugar if gathered and allowed to stand long enough to wilt before cooking. ' Suggestions One thing should be attended to promptly when growing ruta bagas and that is to thin them to a stand just as soon as possoble. This should be done when, the plants are not over 2 inches high. Give them plenty of distance, leav ing them 8 to 10 inches apart in the drill, one in a place. This prompt thinning will prevent them from becoming shanky. Plants will then be stocky and the roots well- \ Remember — You Always Save At...
