Advice on Canning
Given in Bulletin
"Plan Before You Can is a fine
suggestion for this season. Now is
the time to look over your canning
equipment and make preparations
for the busy season of food preser
vation which is ahead. Consider the
following points as time-savers and
safety measures:
1 . Use only clean, sound, fresh
foods in prime condition. Lose no
time between picking and process
ing.
2 After picking, place foods
immediatetly into cold water to
prevent steaming or flat sour be
fore packing.
3. Make sure that containers in
'which food is processed are clean
and free from defects.
Prepare all jars. tops, rings,
and rubbers before starting on
food
5. The water bath method is not
entirely safe except for acid vege
tables and fruits. For this method
be sure that the water in the can
ner comes at least one inch over
the top of the jars Keep boiling
water ready to refill in case it gets
below this.’
6 Process non-acid vegetables
«nd meats in a pressure cooker for
complete safety
7. Prepare only as much at one
time as can be processed at once
Food ready for canning that must
wait may develop flat sour, whi-'h
Is the term used for the condition
of canned vegetables in which
taste and odor are bad. though ap
pearance may be good.
8 For complete sfety all home
canned vegetables and meats should
be boiled rapidly 20 minutes be-
lore serving.
9. The best temperature for stor
ing canned goods is 45 to 60 de
grees fahrenheit.
10. The white sediment in the
bottom of some jars after they have
stood awhile may be due to care
less washing, to old products, or
to hard water containing lime com
pounds.
A new Home Food Preservation
bulletin will soon be ready for dis
tribution. This bulletin may be ob
tained by leaving your request at
the office of the home demonstra
tion agent in the court house, ac

bowl migrants in Cali-
U fornia gained fame in story
and motion picture, but it is the
Amish of southeastern Pennsyl
vania who are the original trav
eling farmers.
In their continued struggle to
live a plain life, close to the soil
«nd to God, the Amishmen have
frequently packed their belong
ings into rickety carts and junk
eted to rural regions where they
could live unmolested. Carrying
out their proud tradition that
hard work is the best, they have
become known as master farm
ers as well as members of a
quaint religious sect.
Forebears of the traveling
Amish were those Mennonites of
the 17th century who fled Eu
rope because of religious perse
cution. They first settled on
lands near the present site of
Germantown.
Pa., and
later
spread to Ohio, Indiana, the
middle west, Mexico and Can-
ada.
SOMETIMES it has been poor
land that brought on Amish
migration; at others, it was be
cause the land was too rich.
More often they moved because
of government interference with
their methods of schooling and
religious beliefs.
About 15,000 Mennonites mi
grated from Canada and the U. S.
to Mexico early in the 1920s,
cultivated land that no one had
been able to cultivate before, es
tablished their own schools,
homes and towns. Heavy taxes,
bandit raids and conflict with
the government there recently
brought another migration of
these pence loving people back
to Canada and this country
Anushmen who found a grow
ing shortage of good land in the
midwest left in 1938 to farm
again in Pennsylvania, the home
of their ancestors. Others in
Kansas abandoned their farms
when oil was found there and
they were threatened with easy
wealth. Their creed does not
permit them to take somethin»
for nothing.
■VOW the Amish are tilling new
soil in Maryland, where a
few families migrated this
spring. Thev'll buck the prob
lems of sandy soil and strange
neighbors there, all over the
matter of schooling for their
children.
Ever since the PWA built a
school
in
their
consolidated
Pennsylvania township, the Am-
ish have protested. They asked
their children be allowed to con
tinue attending their own one-
room schools.
In Maryland, they say, the
governor will let them have their
own schools. Amish theory of
education is that the boy should
be schooled until he is tit to
work, for if he spends too long
in school, he will get too late a
start in the business of being a
farmer.
War. elections, third terms,
new bombers and world’s fairs
mean nothing in the lives of
these bearded, quaintly garbed
followers of Menno Simons. Hol

in 1530. Their business is farm
