Vegetable Preparation and Processing (See Directions Below) Home-grown vegetables are be ginning to push their way out of the soil in your own Victory gardens. Perhaps, at first, you will be so de lighted that you will want them all for the table, but soon will come the realiza tion that you can “put up” most of your points for next winter if you can them now. Because pressure cookers are un rationed this year, most homemak ers will use them for processing :vegetables. 'That is all to the good, tor the use of the pressure cooker cuts down processing time, and in sures more success in canning if properly used. i Non-Acid Vegetables. Before getting into the fundamen tals of canning, we must understand die difference between acid and non acid vegetables. Tomatoes are in the acid group, but the others, green beans, corn, peas, etc., are sill non acid, and require processing under pressure so that they will keep. Fresh Vegetables. Selection of the vegetable for can ning is one of the important steps. You will be much more careful of what vegetables you put up, if you remember these two points: 1. You get out of your can only what you put into it, i. e., if you can an old, withered ear of corn, then that’s what you’ll have when you open the jar. 2. Canning, at best, does not im prove your food; it only preserves it. Save Used Fats! Short Route to Jar. Another old maxim that comes in hsmdy during canning time is the one which goes, “two hours from garden to can.” That means that you pick the vegetables from your garden and start canning immedi ately. If you buy vegetables, get to the market early, and select those that come in fresh in the morning. Take them home and get them started on their way to the jar as fast as pos sible. Incidentally, if you are using your own Victory garden as a supply base for canning vegetables, be sure to pick them . in the morning -h[ -HF while the morn- ing dew is still on them. Picking them later in the day, after the sun has dried out some of their natural moisture, will not give nearly as good results. Preparation Required. 1. It’s a good idea to wash jars first in hot soapy suds and check them for nicks and cracks. All canning equipment may be prepared a day ahead to have everything in readiness when canning actually be gins. 2. Prepare vegetable as directed in chart above. In many cases pre cooking is recommended to shrink the vegetable and set the color. Lynn Says: Are you perplexed as to how many jars you should have for canning? How much will the vegetable make when “put up?” Here are some guides: Asparagus—12 pounds yields 6 pints “stalk,” or 2 pints "cut.” Beets—1 bushel makes 40 pint jars, cut in thin slices. Corn—100 ears of Golden Ban tam yields about 14 pints. Greens — 1 bushel spinach yields 13 pint jars. Dandelion greens — 1 bushel yields 15 pint jars. String beans—1 bushel yields 17 to 20 quarts. Tomatoes—1 bushel yields 16 to 20 quarts. 3. As soon as vegetable is pre pared, get into the jar as soon as possible, otherwise flat sour may develop. Packing Vegetable. 4. Most vegetables are packed to within one-half inch of the top of the jar. Exceptions to this rule are com, peas and lima beans. 5. Liquid in which vegetable was precooked may be added to the jar except in the case of strong liquids such as spinach and greens. Before Processing. 6. Wipe top of jar before placing on lid. Use manufacturers’ direc tion in this case, as all lids differ and your manufacturer knows what kind of tightening is necessary. Save Used Fats! Processing. 7. Process vegetable, using time table given above. In using the pressure cooker, allow steam to escape for 7 to 10 minutes before closing petcock. Allow pressure gauge to come up to desired tem perature before starting to count processing time. When processing time is over, re move cooker from range, then let pressure gauge come back to zero before opening. Storage Tips. 8. Remove jars from cooker and lay on several thicknesses of cloth or .paper. Do not tighten lid unless so directed by the manufacturer of the jar. Some jars should not be inverted. Here again, consult your individual directions. 9. Store in a cool, dark place. Make sure the jars are not in a draft. Use of Vegetables. Before tasting or using any home- canned vegetables, boil them in an open vessel for 10 minutes. This will kill any of the toxins which may have formed in the jars.

Unbraced tread bars on tractor tires, likewise bend and weaken under heavy loads. They slip, lose traction, [ lose time and wear rapidly. Traction bars on Firestone Ground Grip tires are triple-braced and have up to 215 inches of extra bar length per tractor. That gives them extra strength, extra pulling power and extra long life. And triple-braced traction bars clean better, too. If you want tires that puff better longer buy Ground Grips — the tires made by Firestone, the pioneer and pacemaker in the farm tire held. - .
