Banty McCann spat contemptuously and hitched up his overall pants. He glared up at Hamp Anderson. "I ain't no farmer. Who wants to mess with a truck crop when the mast is as good as it is this year? Hogs will be fat as butterballs by Thanksgiving. Farm? Phooey!" Hamp Anderson placed a foot carefully on the porch step, cut a chew of tobacco just as carefully and tucked it into a corner of his mouth before he spoke. "No patriotism, I see," he said quietly. ".Here the Gov'mint is hollerin' for vegetables and you want to traipse the woods. Look: Them hogs'll fatten theirselves.

"Howdy, Aunt Mat. How are you?" "Fair to middlin', I reckon, talkin' cukes? Tom Hamp. You-aalways did like to raise 'em, but he never could eat 'em." Tenderhearted Aunt Mat raised a corner of her checked apron to her eyes when she mentioned her late husband. Hamp cocked an eye upward and peered judiciously at the sky.

Since rationing began, fruits have always carried a high ration value, and yet, they are essential and convenient to serve, for breakfast, luncheon and dinner. Fruits may be canned with or without sugar, but the fruit will mellow and ripen in the Jars much more satisfactorily if a sugar syrup is used. With syrups plentiful, part, usually half, of it is sweetened with a light or dark corn "syrup. .Honey may be substituted for the sugar, also. It will darken the fruit and give it a somewhat stronger flavor, but it is good. Only fruits that are good in flavor, uniformly ripened and firm in texture should find their way to the jar. Just as it is true of any other canning and preserving, you get only what you put into the can. Canning is designed for preserving the fruit, not for improving poor quality . produce. When large fruits such as peaches, pears or apples are canned, they require peeling and should be placed in brine (2 teaspoons salt to 1 quart of water) to prevent them from turning dark while peeling. The open kettle method for canning fruit has been a favorite among homemakers for many generations T"' tJTcf H ( because it gives N one-ha- lf Uiy' w 1 1 av results. However, the hot water bath has found many users because the danger of spoilage is reduced to a minimum and the ap pearance of the fruit still retains its shape, flavor and texture. On the table, time is also given for processing in the pressure cooker if one is available, but it is not essential for fruit canning as it is for vegetable preserving. Syrup Making Guide. Thin syrups for fruit canning will be most popular this year because LYNN SATS Fruit Canning Tips: Fruit sometimes discolors at the top of the jar if the fruit is under-rip- e or when accurate processing time or temperature is not maintained. Discoloration of the top layers of the fruit is caused by oxidation which means that air has not been expelled from the jar by the heat of processing. If food is packed too solidly or jars filled to overflowing instead of to within a half inch of the top, some of the liquid may boil out of the jars during processCanning powders and preservatives are not necessary in the canning procedure. rr ' ' ' Jib Saw yra , fo, You wiU' need a base w hich ma table that you have on nand or a ctJUi draweri made by taking the mirror 15 1 an old dresser, also some short lecnh.2 lumber and plywood.

For this type, use 1 cup sugar to 3 cups water. Heat the sugar and liquid together until sugar is dissolved and syrup is boiling. Or, use cup corn syrup (light or dark) or V cup honey with & cup sugar. Medium type syrup is good for most fruits and berries, but it requires a little more sugar. The proportion is 2 cups water to 1 cup sugar, or half corn syrup or honey and half of the amount in sugar. In past years, peaches and pears and some of the other fruits have always been canned with a thick syrup 1 cup water to 1 cup sugar. Don't feel that you cannot can if the sugar doesn't reach around for this type of syrup. A thin or medium syrup can do the job. Packing Jars. berries and tomatoes FruitSi (which are considered a fruit for canning purposes) are delicate in texture and high in juice content. They should be packed solidly in the jar to prevent undue shrinkage and consequent "empty" appearance after processing. Precooking of the fruit is suggested because it shrinks the fruit or berry and enables you to get .more in the jar. It takes a little bit longer to can by precooking, but the results are worth the effort. Jars should be filled to within inch of the top. If tightly packed up to this point, fruit and berries will rarely float after processing, and the jars will have a much nicer appearance because they are full of fruit. Make sure the rims of the jar are not chipped as this will prevent a perfect seal. It's a good idea, too, to wipe the rims after the fruit and syrup are added so that no particles of food or juice stick to them to prevent them from sealing properly. Making a Hot Water Bath. A water bath canner may be made from a wash boiler or any other large deep vessel that has a close fitting cover and is deep enough to permit the jars to stand upright and still have enough water to come an inch or two above the jars. This water should be kept boiling during the entire processing period. It should never be allowed to boil away enough to come less than 1 inch above the jars. If necessary have a kettle of boiling water on the range, beside the water bath, to replenish the supply in the canner. A rack which will hold the jars Vi inch from the bottom of the kettle is also essential. The jars should That's galore!

WNU Scalloped Cupboard On Table or what's happening now that so many of our servicemen are returning to those they hold dear. The season of the year, no longer has anything to do with the case. One of the reactions to the war is that weddings come up in any month; In d fact, they have become events. This year with the return of thousands and thousands of wedding bells will be ringing more frequently than ever. Designers are outdoing themselves in creating just one lovely gown after another for brides-to-b- e who want to say "I do" in a wedding dress that lives up to tradition. Some of the dresses are in rich satin, traditionally trained and Others are charmingly fashioned with fitted basque waists and very full skirts in such sheer, e cloudlike fabrics as ninon, de soie, net, marquisette or organza. There are also combinations of lace and net, satin and net, or chiffon and lace. Several designers are featuring rhumba ruffles starting at the waistline and extending to short full trains. There is lots of back interest, too, either in skirt fullness or in bustle bows. Peplums and apron effects vary the skirt treatments in front. bodices and bertha necklines add a picturesque note to a number of dresses of the heirloom type. The favored headdress these days is the very full fingertip veil of fine net or tulle, falling from a little circlet or bonnet or pancake beret of fluted net. The illustration herewith brings you a preview of just such gowns as you will see parading down the cen year-roun- eligi-ble- s, "Want to try a little easy money?" since Tom passed away." Aunt Mat sniffed heavily. "Well- -" said Banty again "I reckon I will. Bring on your seed and your fertilizer, Hamp. Doggone! Me a farmer!" Easy money! Everybody said cukes was easy 'money! Banty thought savagely as he finished bedding out his last piece of land in the rich pond bottom. He was anxious to get back into the woods and see about his hogs. Screw worms might kill a hog if he didn't find it in time. 'Gators might be catching the shotes. Snakes might have pizened one. Cucumber seed comes tip fast, especially in the fall, and Banty had no time for hog hunting. Then came the rains hurricane season! The torrential downpour filled all the middles and flooded the ditches Banty hadn't taken time to clean out. Water backed up in his low field. Banty took off his shoes, rolled up the legs of his pants and waded in with hoe and shovel. Hamp Anderson rode up to the fence on his big bay mare. "Looks pretty damp," Hamp admitted. "Damp you say?"

"Reckon you'll save of this field." When the ground began to dry out, the plants grew unbelievably fast. "Be pickin' less'n 45 days from plantin' seed!" exulted Aunt Mat.
