How To Buy Jellies
And Preserves
There’s no doubt that people
in this country are partial to
jams and jellies In just one
year, about one billion jars of
40 YEARS OF FARMING
AND HERE’S ONE I
NEVER THOUGHT OF.
"Lime your land
while the ground is frozen I"
Winter is the best time to apply limestone. A fellow from Burkholder’s
Limestone in Ephrata put it this way;
“When your land is frozen hard, more consistent spreading is possible.
And when the land begins to thaw, the depth and rate of penetration is
such that the lime is better assimilated or mixed with the soil.
With spring plowing, the lime will have had a more complete effect on
correcting soils acid condition,”
He made real good sense fo me. I know enough about farming to lime
my land for greater yields. The people at Burkholder know their farming
too. We get along fine together. They won’t boast about their products
unless you ask ’em.

jellies, jams or preserves, and
marmalades arc produced in
the United States. That’s about
five jars for every person
When a speciality product
is this popular, there’s likely to
be lots of competition among
processors You’ll find jellies,
jams, preserves, and marma
lades in all sorts of fruit flavors
and all prices on the shelves in
the supermarket.
The differences in the various
types are largely a choice of
fruit ingredients and accepted
usage. The way in which the
fruit is prepared and the tex
ture or the gel strength of the
finished pioduct account for
these different kinds of fruit
spieads
Jelly is made from filtered
fruit juice It has a firm gel that
holds its shape when you take
it out of the jar. And it’s spark
ling clear.
Jams or preserves are made
from crushed or pureed fruit,
but the gel texture isn’t as firm
as in jellies And it isn’t as
clear. Many jams or preserves
are made up of whole or laige
pieces of fruit held together in
a thick but not stiff, gel
Marmalade is a tender jelly
with small pieces of fruit, gen
erally sliced citrus peel, evenly
dispersed throughout the gel
Next time you’re shopping for
jellies, preserves, or marma
lades, take note of the differ
ences among the choices you
have from all the different
kinds displayed in stores
Even though the most severe
part of our 1968-69 winter may
be yet to come, the time is at
hand when all kinds of crop
and gaiden produceis should be
oidenng their supply of seeds
for this spung Alfalfa and cov
er glowers will be seeding in
their winter giain in less than 8
weeks from now. Certified seeds
aie recommended in all cases in
order to reduce the risk in the
crop Top quality seed is more
free of weeds and disease and
should pioduc larger amounts
of the desired ciop. Legume
seed from a neighbor must be
tested in Older to be a legal
sale, and even though the puce
may seem low at planting time,
it may be veiy expensive if un
wanted weeds and diseases show
up and if the yields aie poor
With the high puce of other in
puts into a ciop, it is good man
agement to start with the best
quality seed.
