Canning With a Commercial Outfit
DY h. V MACKBN,
Itural School Supervisor of Folic County,
Dallas, Oregon.
THE conning which wo did this year
was In the way of an experiment.
During O. H. Benson's visit to
Oregon In 1914 I had tho pleasure of
hearing him lecturo at Dallas on tho nos
nihilities of canning and decided then tliat
I should liko to seo It tried out hero I
succeeded In getting mo ,rl8 "f
dalo. Or., to plant a gardon to furnish
the products to bo canned. They planted
tomatoes, Leans and corn, as thoso wcro
tho vegetables that I thought best to tr.
Tho tomatoes wero a failure, owing to
the dry season, bugs, etc. The corn did
llttlo better, but wo put up a fow Jara
just to try our luck, and they keep per
fectly. Evcryono who hao eaten this corn
says It Is far superior to tho canned corn
put on tho mnrkct.
Tho beans did well and I succcoded In
trying my canning experiment with them
with tho following results. Thoro wore
10 rows 150 feet long and threo feet
apart, using C000 foot of ground, or ap
proximately one-clghth of an aero. I fig
ure It nt this In order to allow for what
ground must bo left at tho end of tho
?ows, edges, etc. From this patch wo
sold 150 pounds of green beans In no
innrket at 4 cents per pound, which
brought us $0.50. This sum, with what
wo used for tho tablo, I considered
nmplo to pay for rent on ground, culti
vating, harvesting otc. So what tho
canned product brought above ho cost of
Jars, cans, etc., was net profit. It was
ns follows:

Tho canning was dono principally by
Miss Jcsslo Kcjt, who won tho trip to tho
Panama-Pacific .Exposition on conning.
Sho canned n variety of products In a
steam pressure canncr with excellent suc
cess, nnd, at n great saving of tlmo. Tlio
fact thnt tho beans wcro canned in u
minutes in tho canncr, against three- of
four hours by tho open ltottlo motliod,
demonstrates very clearly tho stiporlorlt
of this method. Miss Koyt wound up her
canning this yenr with a public demon
stration at tho Polk County Fair. This
was tho first demonstration of its Klna
over held In tho stato that I hnvo over
heard of, and, this dono by an 11-ycar-
old girl.
A "Canned" Slipper.
Ono of tho novel things wo did with
this mnchlno was tho cooking of supper
ono evening. Tho mnchlno was sot up in
a dug-out furnaco in tho bnckynrd nnd
Mrs. Koyt asked us If wo could cook po
tatoes In It. Ono thing led to nnothor
until wo had potatoes, beets, a plcco of
meat, and, to top It off, a enko in tho ma
chine Wo loft theso for 40 minutes un
der 10 pounds pressure nnd they woro all
well cooked. Tho cako was flno nnd tlio
kitchen wns not heated up. After this,
wo did qulta n bit of cooking.
Every farm homo should hnvo ono of
these machines, which cost from $5 to
SI 5, to savo tho vegetables and fruits
which would otherwise go to waste.
A number of tho schools of this county
nro organizing canning clubs and thoy
hnvo great possibilities. Somo nro pre
paring to gather wild blackberries, which
are quite plentiful In tho mountains, and,
which will undoubtcly bo good salo. Oth
er schools aro planning to rnlso vogotnblcs
and can thorn during vncatlon for not
lunches during tho coming school year.
This, I am very much Interested In, for
tho hot lunch Idea Is spreading fast In
this county nnd this will glvo plenty of
good, cheap matorlals and a uso for tho
vegetables that tho school gardeners grow,
of which, so ninny nro wnsted.
