Saturda 1 I LADIES HAVE YOU HEARD? vj By Doris Thomas, Extension Home Economist .$ Let’s Talk Turkey Once turkey was likely to be mentioned only in its role as a mainstay of end-of-the year holiday feasting. No more! Today, any time is a good, time to talk turkey. To perk up the menu on hot, heavy summer days, serve cool, lean turkey in sandwiches, salads, or as a hors d’oeuvre. Turkey adds a festive touch to any picnic.

Use Safe Methods For Canning Vegetables If~-you have hesitated to can vegetables because of fear of spoilage, remember the organisms blamed for spoilage are Just doing what comes naturally. The real culprit is the ignorant, careless, or stubbom-not about-to-use-modem met hods person who doe's the canning. The most common type of spoilage in canned vegetables is called flat sour. The food may look right and smell right, but has an unpleasant sourish taste. It is neither fit to eat, nor poisonous. The bacteria causing flat-sour can start growing in vegetables which have stood too long between steps in gathering, preparing, putting into jars and processing. This is paricularly true of com and other starchy vegetables. If necessary to hold vegetables several hours or overnight, they should be refrigerated. Botulism is another widely misunderstood type of food spoilage. It is by no means confined to canned foods. It has'been found in frozen, smoked, and pickled sea foods; dried, smoked, and pickled meats; pickled beets and also homemade cheese. The invisible-to-the-naked eye spores of bacteria which cause botulism are harmless until they find their way into, an airless space containing very little acid and start growing. Then they give off a deadly toxin. Unless the illness of a person who has eaten the contaminated food is promptly diagnosed and the right anti-toxin quickly obtained, the patient may not survive. The first step in preventing botulism is to use only strictly fresh, sound vegetables. No matter how clean they may seem, wash them as if they were filthy. Then quickly prepare, put into jars and process in a steam-pressure canner for the right length of time at the right pressure for your altitude. Then your canned vegetables will be as safe as any food can be. But if you still have misgivings, turn the food into a saucepan and let it boil 15 minutes, stirring often, before tasting. Never, never, taste food of any kind to leam whether it is spoiled. - If new at canning, the first thing needed is an up-to-date canning bulletin or book. You can make the canning job easier and quicker by collecting all needed equipment, carefully in specting every jqr to make sure the top is smooth (one tiny nick or chip can prevent rjfeaiMs CHAIN SAWS SPRAYERS MOWERS and TILLERS inro—wi ■ Jacobsen SSR.
