GIVES TIPS ON FOOD DRYING
BY GEORGE MARTIN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington August 6— In this
article we outlineome of Uncle
Sam’s ideas on drying methods for
various products In drying sweet
corn select very young tender corn
and prepare it right after gathering
Cook in boiling water two to five
minutes cut kernels from cob with
sharp knife not cutting bits of the'
cob Spread thinly on trays and place
to dry Stir it occasionally till dry
Dry in oven 10 to 15 minutes and
finish drying in the sun- A pound of
dried corn to a dozen ears is a good
yield After dry pack in cartons a
few days for conditioning
Select string or snap beans in table
condition Wash remove stem tip
and string Cut or break into pieces
ene-half to one inch long Or run
them tshough the slicer V ery young
tender beans will dry whole Cut
your beans rather than snap them
Thread them into necklaces on coarse
strong thread and hang over stove or
in the sun Dry young beans two
hours older ones three hours Wax
beans are dried in the same manner
Condition them as you do corn
For lima beans take them from
pods remove surface moisture and
dry from 3 to 3 1 hours This same
method answers for other beans It
also includes cow peas or other field
peas
Dry young tender okra pods whole
Older pods should be cut into 14 inch
slices These may be strung as with
string beans and hung over the stove
If so dried heat in oven before hang-
ing up
Peppers may be dried by splitting
on one side removing seed drying in
the air and finishing the drying in the
drier at 140 F A more satisfactory
plan is to place peppers in biscuit
pan in oven and heat until skin blis-
ters or steam until skin softens then
take out seed and dry at 110 to 140 F
For beets and turnips select young
tender quickly grown ones Wash
peel slice about inch thick and
dry Slice carrots lengthwise avoid-
ing those with large woody cores
Parsnips kohlrabi celeriac and sal-
sify arc handled the same way
Select mature onions remove
papery covering cut off tops and
roots slice into one-eighth-inch pieces
and dry quickly Store in a light-
proof container to avoid discoloration
Leeks are so handled also
Select well developed cabbage re-
move loose leaves split cabbage re-
move weedy core slice with kraut
slicer and dry All these products
should be conditioned
For spinacn remove leaves from
roots wash carefully slice and spread
on trays and dry Treat parsley the
same way For beet stops Swiss

carefully cut both leaf stalks and
blade into inch sections spread

lent rhubarb Don’t use the leaf
blade Prepare as for stewing by
skimming and cutting to 14 to Va
inch lengths
Select sound well matured Irish
potatoes Wash or boil until nearly
done Peal and pass through meat
grinder Collect the shreds in layers
on trays and dry until brittle If
toasted slightly in oven when dry the
flavor is improved Or you may boil

the same way Or boil and slice r
Clean cauliflower divide into
small bunches blanch six minutes
and dry 2 to 3 hours Don’t worry
if it turns dark in drying Handle
brussells sprouts the same way but
add a pinch of soda to the blanch-
ing water For pumpkins and
squash select sound grown speci-
mens Cut into strips remove all
seeds and softness around them
Cut strips into pieces and dry Be
sure to condition all these things
Celery tops parsley mint sage
and herbs need not be blanched
but should be washed exceedingly
well and dried in the sun or oven
Early varieties and sweet apples
are well adapted to drying Use
winter apples These instructions
apply also to pears and quinces
peel core trim and slice 14 inch
thick Dip in weak salt water con-
taining 8 teaspoonful of salt to 1
gallon water Spread on trays and
dry till tough and leathery
Sort out imperfect raspberries
spread selected berries on trays and
dry Not so dry they rattle Stop
drying when berries don’t stain the
hand when pressed This applies to
blackberries huckleberries and dew-
berries Peaches are dried better
when - peelfed Remove stones cut
fruit in half or smaller and spread on
trays pit sides up Turn over later
Plums and apricots are not peeled
but are pitted and halved and dried
as are peaches- Select medium ripe
plums Small thin flesh varieties
are not suitable For cherries re-
move stems and if fruit is large also
pits Spread on trays and dry Small
black cherries can be dried whole
If they are seeded there will be a loss
of juice
“BUY YOUR TRUCKS
EARLY”— NEW MOTTO
Do your motor truck buying early
This is the slogan which is now
being heralded across the country for
the reason that the government is
looking about with the idea of order-
ing some 70000 trucks Which means
that the farmer the factory owner
the merchant of progressive tenden-
cies ought to get his order in noWi
to assure him of his vehicle For
when the U S A wants things it
usually manages to get them
Users of light trucks need not
worry however with the “attach-
ment” company on the job Utiliza-
tion of the pleasure car chassis per-
mits the quick change from a touring
car to a ton truck as is the case with
the Smith-Form-a-Truck This firm
is not handicapped so long as the
pleasure car makers continue to pro-
duce their machines for an output of
40000 this year is predicted by the
QUICK SERVICE
BEST COMPANIES ia Existence
£ reduction manager of the
otor Truck Corporation
However with Uncle Sam casting
about te locate enough trucke to
supply his tremendous army chances
are that many makes of trucks will
be put into use end that the man who
needs a commercial power vehicle will
do well to mske his bid while be still
has a chance of havihg his efforts
rewarded
HOGSHOOTER STATION TO
BE ABOLISHED AT ONCE
Minneapolis Minn August 4 —
Henry L Doherty was given permis-
sion to take up his pipe line extending
from the “Hogshooter” field to Iola
Kansas by Judge Booth when he
made his ruling here today in regard
to the price to be paid for natural
gas by the cities served by the Kansas
Natural
This pipe will be turned over to
the receiver of the Kansas Natural
for use in Connecting the Blackwell
field with the Kansas Natural lines
This shift was made necessary be-
cause it is-now impossible to buy gas
pipe in the market In return the
Kansas Natural which is Mr Do-
herty’s left hand is to carry gas to
the consumers deprived of gas service
by the taking up of the “Hogshooter”
Iola line Mr Doherty believes that
he will be able to increase the out-
put of the Kansas Natural 40000000
cubic feet a day by this shift The
development work which Mr Doherty
has done and is doing will cost him
about $2500000 this year
The removal of the pumping station
and pipe lines will do away with the
settlement that has gown up around
the station east of Bartlesville
MANY CANS FOR SORGHUM
Afton Okla7 Aug 4— Charles J
Valerius who lives five miles east
of Afton has just bought 10800
buckets from a local dealer to handle
and take care of his sorghum crop
Valerius is one of the best farmers
in the county and has a large farm
and good silos and everything that a
farmer ought to have to run an up-to-date
farm The cans cost $1470
and were hard to get even at this
price Valerius has 175 acres in
cane this year that is looking good
and has a good sorghum mill to make
the sorghum when the cane is ripe
The only trouble facing him is the
question of labor as it will take a
large number of hands to handle the
crop when he starts his mill
EXPECT FIVE YEAR WAR
Fort Riley Kans Aug 4 — The ab-
sorbing question among the reserve
officers’ training camp personnel at
present is the question of commis-
sions These probably will be an-
nounced directly from Washington
soon after the close of the training
camp here It is the general opinion
that most of the men in the nine in-
fantry companies who have weath-
ered the course thus far will get
something — either a commission or
the opportunity to attend a second
camp in order to better qualify them-
selves for the responsibilities of
leading a unit of men into action
With the need of officers so pressing
every man who has shown any ability
at all will be carefully considered
That the government is basing its
plans on the assumption that the war
will last at least five years was the
statements made here by Guy T Hel-
vering fifth district congressman
who spent two days at Fort Riley The
war department he said was making
every effort to get into f ightingshape
as quickly as possible -

NEED DOCTORS IN ARMY
Tulsa Aug 7 — Officers in the
United States medical service are in
Tulsa inspecting applicants for com-
missions in the medical reserve corps
of the nation army
A call has been sent to Oklahoma
for 200 experienced physicians to
enter the medical reserve receiving
commissions as first lieutenants En-
rollment in this reserve list probably
means the same thing as actual en-
listment in active service
According to those who are in
touch with the situation very little
success has been met in other parts
of Oklahoma and Tulsa is being
looked to to furnish a goodly portion
of the quota Twenty thousand first
lieutenants is the number demanded
from the nation at large and only
3000 have been secured to date
Several Tulsa physicians already
have been accepted Dr Henry S
Brown left recently to report for du-
ties and Dr Ralph Smith sid yes-
terday that he expected t's be called

OIL OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY
Washington Aug 4— The enor-
mous war program will make such a
demand for crude oil and its deriva-
tives that the defense council and
other agencies investigating the situ-
ation expect the supply to run short
Data secured by the navy indicates
the total shortage may amount to
more than 120 million barrels ‘ Pro-
duction is expected to decrease ap-
proximately nine million barrels un-
less the navy reserves are tapped or
unless the output of the Mexic’an field
is increased
The - defense council probably will
urge upon the country the strictest
conservation of oil even if the out-
put in increased by resorting to the
reserves
The army’s recent order for 25000
motor trucks will be followed by
other large contracts so that added
motor transportation alone will call
for an enormous amount of gasoline
The great aircraft program and the
ever growing demand for oil by the
navy for its ships and small craft will
require millions of barrels more

PROFIT IN FARM MARES'
Breeding and Working Animals Return
a Double Gain
(Prepared by United States department el
- sericulture)
Financial profit results from bread-
ing mares that earn their feed by fur-
nl hint farm horsepower Instances at
this are often cited In term papers It
is not uncommon to read of some re-
markable mare that beaidee dtdng bar
share of the farm work baa raised
many hundreds of dollars’ worth of
colts These accounts seldom tell of
more than one such mars on i particu-
lar farm whereas to obtain the grant-
set returns nearly all the work ani-
mals maintained on the term should be
mtrea of this character
Breading tbs working mans -places
double duty on them consequently
they must be robust individuals prop-
erly conformed and must be given good
cam and treatment With two source
of profit from one animal fanners can
well afford to pay more for auch stock
feed it more heavily and glva it ape-
dal attention The email termer la the
one who ia moat likely to get the beat
mults from auch a plan because he
usually works his own teams or Is in a
position to watch them closely and see
that they are not ill treated
The two outstanding requirements in
profitable farm mares are that they be
breeders and worker If a good regis-
tered stallion la available pure bred
mare of the same breed will probably
give better returns than grades ‘It
costs practically no more to Idas a
pure bred colt than It does to raise a
grade and the returns are much great-
er The amount of capltel that can be
Invested In the mares would be an im-
portant factor in determining whether
pure breda should be used Any mare
that la not at least a high grade should
not be considered The particular
breed that the pure bred or grades
should conform to would depend large-

BCBSTAIICB AND STYLE
ly an ocal markets Some communities
are noted for and attract buyers of
high class drafters others have local
dealers who handle many choice har-
ness horses and still others have a
steady outlet for saddle horses conse-
quently in a locality favored with any
auch markets it is generally advisable
to breed the prevailing type since by ao
doing galea are more easily made and
the services of high dens stallion are
practically assured
However some persons have a de-
cided preference for a particular breed
or type and where tbis Is so a greater
success often will be made in raising
the kind naturally preferred although
it must be remembered that it la diffi-
cult to show a profit when raising
something for which there may be lit-
tle or no demand It is generally ac-
cepted that light horses are beat suited
to rolling and aemimountainoua land
while drafters are more hdaptable to
level country
Profit In Lets Beans -
On account of too much rain and
cold weather our garden bean crop
first planted in the spring of 1016 was
hopeless writes a correspondent of the
Farm and Fireside The weather con-
tinued so unfavorable our last planting
was not made until the middle of Au-
gust when four rows of beans were
planted three rods long From this
planting we gathered thirty gallons to
can beside supplying the family with
green beans The vines were also well
filled with small beans when frost
came To get euch good results from
so late a planting we encouraged the
growth by good tillage This result
with late planted beans will encourage
ns to follow the same plan in future
years
Late Corn Cultivation Doubtful
Several extra cultivations for com
late in the season have doubtful value
in the light of tests conducted at the
Ohio agricultural experiment station
for three years Yields have been in-
creased only about two bushels by
three extra cultivations Alternate
plots of com have been given three ex-
tra cultivations about ten days apart
after five ordinary cultivations have
ceased During three years thirteen
tests have been made The average
yield for ordinary cultivation has been
6986 bushels per acre for late cultiva-
tion 6195 bushels or a gain of 209
bushels for three cultivations
Ratiena For Dairy Caws
If alfalfa la used largely for rough-
age and com stover used merely as
supplement for furnishing dry matter
and variety a ration consisting
equal parts corn oats and bran will
prove to be a very serviceable concen-
trated ration ’ For cows giving milk
one pound of this mixture for each
three pounds of milk yielded will be the
approximate amount required— Kim-
ball’s Dairy Farmer
