If you discover something new to you, write to the American Forestry Association in Washington. I Trim shrubs after flowering. lk> ’ not destroy the natural drooping ts- ! sects of the shrubs, but confine youl- - t elf principally to dead and old wood and superfiuos branches. The Conservation Branch of the American Forestry Assiciation is coI operating with the National Emergen.'ey Food Garden Commission in its uai tion wide food conservation campaign. . and will send free to any reader of this paper manuals on canning and on drying vegetables and fruits for a two 'cent stamp to pay postage. o HOW TO CAN STRAWBERRIES Strawberries should be handled very carefully and canned the same day the fruit is picked, says today’s bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, of Washington, which is co-operating with this . newspaper in its country wiilf cam--1 paign for food conservation. To pre--1 vent bruising and crushing, the berries 'should be gathered in shallow bankets ' I* or trays. Do not use the fingers for hulling since the purchase of a simple hull r ' for a few cents will give a better product and save lots of stains. As the I strawberries are hulled they may be graded and sorted, and then they -should be washed by placing in a col- ' ander and pouring cold water over them. Pack the berries carefully into hot jars without blanching or cold- dip- . ping, being careful not to jam or crush ' them. The best way to fill containers is to put a few berries into a jar and press them carefully into place with a spoon, and thus fill up the jar. layer , j by layer. I After the jars are full of fruit, either hot water or sirup (see Below) may be poured in to fill up the spaces. i Another way is to fill up the jars with I I the hot juice of the crushed fruit in l stead or using hot water, this giving I i a very rich flavor and color. I The tops of glass jars should be adjusted and partially tightened-tin j cans should be capped and sealed j completely—-and then sterilized in ( boiling water for sixteen minutes, arter which the tops should be tighten- ’ ed, the jars inverted out of a draught 1 ’to cool and wrapped in dark colored 1 'paper to prevent bleaching in storage. I if a sirup is desired with strawberI ties, use a cull of sugar to the same amount of water or strawberry juice. After the sugar has been dissolved by boiling, pour the hot sirup over the berries and sterilize is per the directions above. The National Emergency Food and ! Garden Commission. 210 Maryland Bldg.. Washington, D. will send its canning or drying manual free to readers of this paper for a two cent ■ stamp to pay postage. o ~~ SHIPPERS ARE AIDING (United Press Service) Indianapolis.
