year to make life jackets for our armed forces. To. IrMp meet this demand, a collection campaign is being organized in Indiana, headed by 0. C. Lee. Indiana state supervisor of thv milkweed/program and extension weed specialist at Purdue University. Kapok, formerly used for filling preservers, is not now available because of temporary Japanese occupation o fthe Dutch East Indies. MilkWeed floss has been found to be a Satisfactory substitute. This materJ al must be collected entirely from ; vild stands of milkweeds growing on : arms, along roadsides, railroads, and i n waste places. Indiana land owners are urged to ] save milkweed plants on their farms, .when possible. The potential pod harvest will be increased by not destroying milkweed plants until the oods are picked. Harvesting the pods vrill prevent the seeds from scattering. thus helping to prevent the sp."ead of the plant as a weed. PJans for collecting milkweed floss will be completed about Sept. 1, at the time the pods are ready to pick. Persons interested in piquing ■vill bo- furnished bags for drying and storing th- pods. Those interested in helping with this essential war work may obtain further information by writing Lee or contacting any Indiana couty agricultural' extension agent.

QUESTION: How about using discarded caps from pickle jars (instead of the regular metal bands I with Vacu-Seal liils ? ANSWER: This should not be done because such caps svkLm fit Furthermore, the regular Vacu-Seal bands are inexpensive and can be used repeatedly. QUESTION: Can thv same screw bands be used for both glass lid and metal Vacu-Seal lids ? ANSWER: No. Wider bands must be used with Glass Top Seals because glass lids are thicker than metal ones. The Glass Top Seal band will not hold tire metal Vacu-Seal lid down tight against the top of the jar and a Vacu-Seal band will not keep a glass lid in place on the jar. QUESTION: What jar and cap do you recommend for use in oven can-
ning?
ANSWER: There is no such thing as a jar or cap .vhii-h we can recommend for own canning because the < ovn method has proven to be an unreliable one. QUESTION: Why? Many persons use the oven method successfully. ANSWER: It is true that many persons haw secured satisfactory results when canning by the oven method, but there is always danger of the food spoiling because the rate of heat transfer in the dry air of an ov*n is too slow to prevent the growth of bacteria. Food discolors because they pack heat through too slowly for rapid destruction of enzymes or to force out the oxygen which activates them. Jars explode from being closed so tight that steam can not escape during the processing. QUESTION: Why don't all manufacturers issue the same instructions for using jars and caps? ANSWER: All major jar companies agree on the fundamental principles of using jars and caps. All make it ctear that metal bands on Glass Top Seals must be loose enough to permit venting jars during processing and all state that bands on the two-piece metal Vacu-Seal type lid must be tightened before processing and not retightened after processing. On the other hand, there are variations in design which make advisable Certain variances in instructions. This is why it is so important to follow the manufacturer's instructions. For example, the Ball Vacu-Seal is used as any other similar type, but the Vacu-Seal lid is so constructed that the correct test for sval is that of pressing on the lid with a finger rather than tapping with a metal object. A sheet of simple step-by-step instructions for their use is packed with every dozen Ball Jars and printed on yvery cap carton. This is for the protection of both consumer and manufacturer. QUESTION: Do I have to buy two dozen jars when I want only one
dozen ?
ANSWER: No, we are sure your dealer will be willing to sell you onv dozen jare if that is all you need. QUESTION: Is it sound economy to reuse salad dressing and other commercial jars for home canning? ANSWER: Generally speaking, it is poor economy to use such jars for home canning. The glass may be of excellent quality but it is usually much thinner than tliat used in home canning jars. Yes, the co^nmercial ware COULD be made thicker, but would you want to pa> the extra cost which would have to be tacked on the foods packed in them? Heavy glass would add greaUy to the cost of production and shipping. Because of this, commercial jars are made to be used as one-trip containers. There are some packerware jars which seem heavy enough to reuse,---some of them even have mouth wide enough to accomodate a regular two-piece home canning cap, but watch out often those mouths vary in width enough to be deceivng. QUESTION: What about rubbers for 1944? ANSWER: Every ounce of crude rubber is needed by your armed forces, therefore, the Government now prohibits its use in fruit jar rings. Fortunately, good jar rings can be made with synthetic rubber. Synthetics were not used in jar rings last year, because they had not been developed to the point of dependability. This new type rubber has a charactoristic odor, best described by th* word clean. Therefore the average person will not find it in the least objectionable. Repeated laboratory and home canning tests indicate i that the odor is not transferable to , food. However, if you should object ! to the odor, we suggest that you re-

• WPB INSIDERS PAY LITTLE HEED to constantly recurring reports of Charles E. Wilson's resignation which are supposed to denote dissension in the agency. Officials say that the WPB executive vice chairman and former president of General Electric has resigned regularly about every
two weeks since last winter.
Wilson desires wholeheartedly to return to General Electric. The president got him to stay on last February but it is anticipated that one of these days soon the production expert will
break away from WPB.
However, when he does leave, do not expect WPB to fall apart In a welter of confusion and dissension. Wilson and WPB Chairman Donald Nelson, haven't seen eye to eye on some things but they have wo^k.eii*.
