NOT MUCH CANNING BEING DONE THIS SEASON.

This is the canning season, but there is practically no canning, It is rapidly becoming a lost art, not because of any lack of interest and energy on the part of the housewives, biit on account of the fact that there is no fruit to can. With all the propaganda and renewed interest in the preserving of fruit and vegetables there is probably less of it being done thia year than ever. Vegetables are scarce enough; fruit seems practically extinct, save at prices that are prohibitive so far ias canning is concerned.
