10 URGE HOUSEWIVES TO DRY FRUITS Will Save Much Food That Otherwise Would Be Wasted Drying fruits and vegetables is a practice which will save the human consumption much food which might otherwise be wasted. Drying may be done by exposing food materials to the direct rays of the sun, to oven heat, to currents of heated air or by the vacuum method. Drying by exposure to the sun's rays and by heat of the oven are the two ways commonly used by the home maker. In all oven drying the heat should bo regulated so that a con stant low temperature is malntain . i i - We're Prepared for "Old So!"

FRIDAY EVENING, ed. Foods must dry slowly and not be allowed to cook or-scorch, While the actual nutritive value of foods is practically unaffected by drying, the color and flavor is chang ed. The amount of water In the dried fruits and vegetables Is greatly reduced, which means that there Is a greater concentration of food ele ments in dried products. Pound por pound, the nutritive value Is greater in dried than in fresh food, water lost by evaporation is replaced by soaking the food tor table use. Cherries, currants, huckleberries, peaches and apples are fruits adapt ed for drying. Berries may be dried and particularly desirable. Of the vegetables, green shell peas and beans, green shell beans (any of the bush and pole "bean varieties such as are used for green shell beans), string beans, green shell limas, corn and pumpkins are the ttest to dry. Different kinds of beans insure va riety, especially when the dried beans and peas arc alternated 111 the menu With the canned article. Home Economics Extension Service The Dauphin County Farm Bureau will bring to this county for one week during July a representative from the Home Economics Extension Service of the Pennsylvania State College. This department, working with the Farm Bureau, will hold demonstrations In all parts of the county, both city as well as rural districts. They, will include a series of canning demonstrations, lectures and instructions in the drying of fruits and vegetables, also in the economical use of food materials. The Farm Bureau hopes to cover the entire county with these demon strations in about five days. Demon strations will bo held preferably either afternoon or evening. It Is the purpose to choose as the place for these meetings those to which the largest possible number of peo ple can conveniently come. Clubs or clubwomen interested in these lectures anil canning demon strations should get in touch with their Extension representative. If you feel that you could arrange for one ct these demonstrations in your community kindly communicate with or see the County Farm Agent! H. G.

June 11. —The average increase in the cost of foodstuffs throughout the United Kingdom since the beginning of the war Is now ninety-eipht per cent, according to the Board of Trade Labor Gazette. Beef ranges between 95 and 119 per cent, increase, mutton 92 to 136, fish 138, flour 105, sugar 172, cheese 122, potatoes 142. bread 97 and milk 61. In London the price of food Is now more than double what it was in July, 1914. HARRISBURG tgMQm TELEGRAPH Professor Sanders Seeks to Save Thousands of Bushels of Potatoes Planted To Instill a spirit for larger pro duction and to prevent the thou sands of bushels of potatoes which have been planted by amateurs from going to waste, Prof. J. G. Sanders, economic zoologist, has Issued the loll<J\ving directions for combating disease. It follow: Suggestions to Potato Growers The average yield of potatoes in Pennsylvania last year {1916) was 70 bushels per acre. While under more intensive methods of agricul ture the greatest potato-producing nation of the world, Germany, aver aged for the five years 202 bushels per acre. The chief reasons for this greater yield are. I—That a greater amount of seed Is planted per acre. We In Pennsyl vania use from 10 to 16 bushels of seed per acre, while German farm- I ers plant .20 to 25 bushels of seed per acre. 2—They also use commercial fer tilizers and stable manure with more Intelligence than our farmers who do not study carefully enough the results of the records of experiments conducted by the experiment sta tions and books on, these subjects. 3—More attention is paid to the use of selected seed, and to seed selection. It is possible to increase our crops by this method. 4 More careful thought is given to deep soil preparation, cultivation and suitable rotations of crop than in this country. 6—A full stand of plants is essen tial for a full crop, but our farmers do not pay sufficient attention to this very important detail. They are careless, while the German farmers obtain a complete stand by filling in the vacant places in the rows. Every Inch Needed If Germany wins this war it will be because of her efficiency. If the United States and her allies win it, the farmers of this country will have served as faithfully on their farms producing food as the men bearing arms in the trenches. The situation is serious as you no doubt know from what you have read in the newspapers. This department is trying to in crease the crops of Pennsylvania. Every bit of ground that can be cultivated profitably should be plant ed to the staple food crops. This office is particularly interested in in creasing the crop of potatoes, and this can be done by early planting of the main crop and by spraying properly and taking other precau tions against plant diseases. Scab, Rosette and Blackleg Potato scab, rosette and blackleg can be controlled by sterilizing the seed before planting. The two methods of sterilization are: 1. Formalin Method—Dilute one pint of formalin with 30 gallons of water. Soak the seed potatoes In this for two hours. This solution can be used repeatedly. 2. Corrosive Sublimate Method —■ Four ounces of corrosive sublimate (bichloride of mercury) in 30 gal lons of water. Use a wooden or crockery vessel for holding as it attacks metal. Soak the potatoes In this solution for one and one-half hours. This solution is very poison ous. It should be kept where chil dren and animals will not have ac cess to it, and potatoes soaked in it must not be fed to stock or chick ens. This solution must be renewed after two or three applications. It is better to sterilize the po tatoes before cutting, but it can be done afterward. When sterilizing after cutting the growth is some time delayed. Sterilizing also burns any sprouts which have started. Where seed must be stored after sterilizing place only in sacks pr other receptacles that have been sterilized, and if the planting is don* by machinery sterilize the parts of the machine which will come in con tact with the potatoes so as to pre vent farther contamination. Do not lime land on which po tatoes are to ,be grown because the scab fungus causing the roughness of the skin will thrive best in a sweet soil. Early and Ijate Blight There are two distinct blights in fecting potatoes, the early and the late blight. The early blight causes spots on the leaves having concen tric rings of spores like a target. When many of these spots along the edge of a leaf coalesce the edge ot the leaf rolls up in much the same manner as tip burn. The early blight is found in po tato fields from July on, leaves of plants Infected drop off, the stalk dries up before the potatoes ma ture, and as a result the production is curtailed, even as much as 50 per cent, reduction of the crop has been caused by this disease. The late blight aijd rot is fre quently spoken of as the "potato disease. It is the oldest potato disease, and no doubt was the cause of the serious famine in Ireland many years ago. Usually it does not appear until late July, is abundant in August and early September. Plants infect ed die prematurely, and so the pro duction is reduced and the potatoes that do mature are infected with the disease and rot in storage in spite of anything that can be done. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture will absolutely prevent damage from both of these diseases. As soon as the potato plants are six inches high spray them with Eordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead. Bordeaux mixture is a combina tion of bluestone (copper sulphate) and lime. To make, dissolve four (4) pounds of bluestone in 25 gal lons of water. This be most quickly accomplished by hanging a bag near the surface of the water. In another barrel slack four or five pounds of lime and dilute to 25 gal lons. When these solutions have been made pour one into the other, and agitate the mixture violently for fifteen or twenty minutes. The more violent the agitation the finer will be the precipitate, and the long er it will stay in suspension. Where the mixture is not property stirred the resulting precipitate will be coarse, and will settle to the bottom of the barrel quickly. It Is absolutely necessary that the solutions be diluted before mixing. If concentrated a coarse precipitate will be formed, the pump will clog, and material be wasted. Bordeaux mixture can be purchased in paste form containing poison under vari ous trade names. These will give you the same results as home-made Bor deaux mixture containing arsenate of lead, but it costs more. Mixing Poison* Add to each fifty gallons on© to one and one-half pounds of powder ed arsenate of lead. If paste form Is used double this amount will he necessary. Arsenate of lead Is the wriest, moat satisfactory moray ma terlal yet compounded, having sev eral advantages over Paris green and London purple. It adheres to foliage much longer during rainy seasons; It will not Injure or burn foliage; it remains in suspension better and be ing white aids the operator in thor ough and complete application. Arsenatfe of lead may be purchased in dry powder or* in paste form, rhe powder is not injured by free*- drying ol 't, and mixes readily with water. The paste form is one naif water, costing twice as much for freight or express charges. from tlve to seven spray ings during the season, at intervals of ten days or two weeks. Thorough ly coat the plants, covering the un der side of the leaves as well as the upper side. It will require fifty gal lons of spraying solution to cover the potatoes while small. It requires more per acre as the plants grow. OCA" almost cover the ground, -50 gallons per acre arc necessary to do a thorough job. It is important ' that the first beetles be poisoned before they have a chance to lay eggs. The number of potato beetles will thereby be greatly reduced. The flea beetles make small holes I in the leaves and carry the blight I Irom plant to plant. Arsenate of lead kills them, and Bordeaux mix ture is a good repellant, so that there Is little danger of damage from then\ If the plants are well coated with Rordeaux mixture alone. Give Level Cultivation Make furrows five or six inches deep in which to plant the potatoes and cover the seed lightly. As the potatoes grow fill in the furrows, but never hill them up. This will enable you to cultivate them every ten days or two weeks, and after every rain to maintain a dust mulch until the plants so cover the ground that further cultivation is impossible. The dust mulch conserves soil moisture, thereby furnishing the plants more moisture than the old fashioned way of hilling up the plants The deep planting will per mit or the tubers forming deep enough in the ground to prevent sun burning.
