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

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

in dried than in fresh food, water
lost by evaporation is replaced by
soaking the food tor table use.
Cherries, currants, huckleberries,

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

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.

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.
