Your Own Back Yard By ELROY BOBERG WOODRUFF PRINTING COMPANY, Publishers G. S.NORTHCUTT, E~oor RAMONA LBAK, Associate Editor Two years ago I harvest~d the finest bartlett pears I bad ever taken from an old, blighted tree in the back lot. At the first picking many of the pears were small to medium and very green so I picKed only the very lat•gest and put them away to mellow. About a week later I was surprised to find quite a number of large pears on llie tree. It wasn't unusual that tbe pears had grown but it was astonishing that they had grown l.oxge so quickly after the first picking. . Harvesting For Quality Smce pears must be ripened in storage for best quality this method of picking only a few of the largest ones at frequent intervals is an excellent way to secure large, good quality fruit. Efforts to ripen the entire crop on the tree usually result ln a crop of mixed sizes with a great deal of core rot. A Valuable Device In recent years a number of firms have offered a home canning machine that promises to take all guess work out of canning meats and vegetables and to eliminate the danger caused by bottles breaking under beat and pressure. . , The new machine was mantl:fac-;;;-;~---:;-~-;-:;---;::--:--::------,----:-----:-:---_::_:::. _: - =::..::.~- tured primarily as an adjunct to during the summer was driving I the pressure cooker for preserving crickets and grasshoppers out of meats apd vegetables but is now the fields. used largely for canning fruitsS C 1 Oxen were the mAin mode of these being placed in the sterline transportation with just a few po- can, covered with hot syrup and (EDITOR'S NOTE:-Thls is the nics 1':!ei:1g P~ed as mounts to take ~~ee.led without further proce~slng. third of a series of article~ on tbe farm crops to market in Salt Lake !
