BLACKBERRIES, OTHER FRUITS, VEGETABLES, CANNED NOW, WILL FOIL PROFITEER IN FALL

BY WILLIAM R. 8ANBORN Fresh, home-made. Juicy blackberry le; blackberry Jam and blackberries in cans for winter, la the pleasing prospect herewith presented. Blackberries are most abundant, particularly in the south and eastslde woods and along the roadways, so go out and get your share without delay. Then can and preserve them against

, the canning famine in fruits, except at scandalously high prices, next winter. Go slow on the pies Just now, they will taste even better In zero weather. Go gather blackberries! This Is the heart of, the season, which opened two weeks ago, for blackberries are a crop which hangs on awhile. They do not all ripen at once, glory be. Don't' let a berry go to waste, for fruit will be

scarce and high next winter, much

higher than last year, we may be assured. Ravft th hlnrhhArrtaa amf

. save them quick. They will not tarry long among us. . , Can For Winter.

, But remember, please, that the

blackberry pie of today Isn't half as Important as the canned berries atfd Jam you should put up for winter, and this you are urged to do. The south-

side woods, roadsides and fence cor

ners are the favorite spots In this vi

cinlty Just now, though these berries

may be found in almost every part of

me county, where the trees have been given a chance to shade and adorn

the landscape.

But some spots are more favored

than others, as witness the fact that

the fame of the south and eastslde

woods and roadways has reached porta to Lynn and some Lynnites have been driving down of mornings

to help save the crop. If sugar be ftt IV A a n i a rut a a (a

fruit; they can be sweetened and pre

served later, after the new beet sugar

crop Is on sale. Arrange With the Farmers.

: Where you pick along the roadsides knd In the fence corners no one will object, but should you wish to invade

the fields and woods, it will be best to tell your story to the farmer. You

can then arrange either to help your-

eir freely, or it may be in some instances on shares. Very few farmers care to see things igo to waste, and surely not fruits that are to be scarce and high and badly needed. We have been told, however, of one instance where a wealth of berrlea are going to waste and which one farmer, his name not given us, refused two ladles from Richmond the privilege of paving. The husband of one of these ladies in telling us about this today said he hoped that man would come to want, and he was sorry not to know who he was. But the Wayne fanner, and those over on the Ohio side of the line are of broader caliber, in the main. So go out and get berries, then put them up. Blackberries fatten on rain at the right time, otherwise they partially ripen and dry up. They have had the rain and are really fine right now. Winter Fruits Expensive It ien't the scarcity of California fruits that is to make them so high this winter; it is the abnormal foreign and domestic demand. The next reaEon for high prices is the fact that eo large a share of the prospective pack is already in the hands of speculators, or big distributing brokers, in the form of contracts, many of which have been sold to jobbers and exporters at large advances. , The bulk of the California canneries and evaporating plants are in control of the California Fruit Corporation, with whom the rest of the world does business. True, there are a number of independents, but these do not usually undersell the big brother in trade and never at such times as these. Indeed the Independents are asking more than ten precent. over corporation prices now, since the latter has called a halt in sales, waiting the outcome of the crop. Sales by Allotment. If you are a customer of the corporation you are alloted what they hope to be able to spare you at the season's end; providing you get your order In while there is fruit left to sell. We have in mind a jobber who thought pineapples too high at the opening, and hesitated for a day or two. His wire was received too late, and be

hasn't a can booked for fall delivery. But that isn't the worst, for pine-

aypie naa auvjuicu uuo uuuuieu pel cent., since the opening gun, a few days ago. This fruit is packed in 1-lb.. 2-lb., and 2-lb. cans, and it is

estimated that a 2V can of Hawaiian!

sliced will be worth 60 cents at retail

this winter. The everyday California plum and green gage, in 2-lb. cans will likely sell at 45 cents to those who can afford to buy them, judging from wholesale prices which are to prevail. And don't forget California peaches, if you can get choice clings or yellow peaches next winter under 60 cents consider yourself lucky; they may 1 cost you 60 cents before the next crop is due. Dried Fruits and Berries As to dried or evaporated fruits, these are not to be cheap either. This list includes peaches, apples, cherries, raspberries and prunes. Prunes are already high and so too are all the rest of the line, not forgetting raisins. All of these are handy of shipment to foreign Bhores and in great demand. But this is not a new condition, so far as California fruit is concerned; the state did a big pre-war business abroad. The California situation is, however, modified by the eastern pack and output. Maryland, New York, and Delaware help out a lot, both as to fruits and vegetables, and at lower prices than we pay for West Coast products. Prices on Canned Vegetables. And now let us consider canned vegetables. Do you know who and what was and is responsible for present and prospective prices on canned vegetables? You don't, you say' Listen, while we whisper confidentially. The home gardener, on farm and city lot, first of all. Then with supplies handy tho thrifty housewife tied on her apron and poked the fire or turned on the gas and got busy, not

Just once in the season but as often

as she had a surplus.

But don't forget the canning clubs

a single minute. Taking the country

over they put up millions upon millions

of cans; not merely car loads hut train

loads, it warms the heart to reaa what the boys and girls and community canning clubs accomplished last

year and are doing still more abund

antly in manv states this year. Should

Indiana fall down in this year, may tho

Lord forgive us, for we won t be able

to Torsive ourselves.

Save from the garden, the rruit trees, from berry patches, and If you have neither, buy In season and put up for the days when the iceman is

gathering his crop. Kent Prices Down.

It is a pleasure to state that the home canner kept the cost of vegetables 'in tin and glass from soaring too greatly last year, and has kept down the prices proportionately on the present pack; for peas, corn, tomatoes

and string beans are being quoted for future delivery to wholesalers at about

last year's prices. In some Instances at a shade less. The demand has been

materially cut, unquestionably through war conservation and home grown

winter vegetables and home packed

cans. Let the good wonc proceed, ladles; don't stop it. The pack of all vegetables will be short this year, for two reasons, reduced acreage and unfavorable weather at the critical stages. Acreage was cut because of the high price of corn, wheat and oats, which promised greater profit.

Sunday School Entrance The new Sunday school entrance

DEMOCRATS PREPARE REPORT TO DEFEND FOOD SALE ACTION

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 26 With their request for a rehearing blocked by the

Republicans, Democratic members or

the house war investigating commit

tee today were preparing a minority report on the recent inquiry into the delay by the war department in dis

posing of its large surplus of army

food stuffs. In making their request for a reopening of the hearing at a meeting of the committee late yester

day the Democrats stated they expected to disprove statements contained in the report adopted by the Republicans Thursday in which the war department was censured for its failure sooner to announce the food surplus and to arrange for its disposal. After the request was denied the Democrats decided to submit a minority report challenging statements of the Republicans. The majority reports asked the war department to adopt a policy of disposing of the food so that "the people of the United States could buy" but on suggestion of the Democrats that this would result in much of the food

stuffs falling into the hands of speculators the Republicans amended their resolution so as to request that the

sales be made directly to the con

sumers by the government.

The committee meeting yesterday

was in executive session but it later

was said the Democrats submitted a

list of ar department officials, includ

ing Secretary Baker, whom they desired to be heard. Statements of

these witnesses will be contained in

the minority report in which Secre

tary Baker will be quoted as denying that he withheld the food from the domestic market "to protect the in

terests from which the products had

been purchased."

Out of the Price Glass

Yet it costs no more, erson policy.

That is the expression of the Paterson ideal and the Pat-

The standards of the W. A. Paterson organization do not permit blind following of blind leaders we create, without regard to price competition, and prospective car buyers probably think less of the dollar sign when viewing the Paterson Six

than they do in considering any other car.

The Paterson Six is a finer value obviously it is so much more desirable a purchase than others in its price class that buyers are agreeably surprised when they sign the dotted line to find that the price of the car is so modest. The body is a masterpiece of.the builder's art, the product of craftsmen. Long wheelbase permits full comfort. The flow of the smooth-blending lines creates pride of ownership. The color choice permits of artistic self-expression by the discriminating buyer. The standard, use-approved specifications completely satisfy the mechanically wise and give point and justification to our claim that the Paterson Six represents a finer motor car value.
