CANNING TIME FOR CORN. (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 31 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—ln order that not one piece of garden stuff be needlessly wasted. Harry E. Barnard, Indiana's food administrator, through the United Press, gave out the following helpful canning hints: “The time for canning the small fruits is past and such splendid products as tomatoes, peaches and sweet corn will soon be at their best. In canning tomatoes, it is a great help to know that the skin can easily be removed by putting the se lected fruit in a cheese cloth bag and lowering the bag into boiling water. The tomatoes should remain in the water from one to three minutes or until the skins rub off easily. Os course this process should not be continued long enough to cook the surface of the tomato. The less fruit is broken the more attractive it is when canned. Tomatoes of uniform size well ripened, but not over-ripe, which are peeled by this process may be carefully packed in quart jars and sterilized so that they will keep perfectly without breaking down the fruit. Such tomatoes may be served
