- Oregon i Agricultural College, Cor
vallls, . July 10. A special car for
demonstrating canning by the steam
pressure nd cold pack methods will
be opraf ed; over the lines of the
Southern: Pacific In Oregon beginning
Mondayyuly 12. This is so far as
known, the first car of the kind to ba
operated in the United States. The
purpose of the demonstration is to
teach the system by some practical
means that will enable those that are
interested to do home canning both
for home consumption and for com
mercial - purposes. Demonstration from
this car will be carried on at various
points during 'a period of two weeks,
according to arrangements that have
Just been made by R. D. Hetzel,
director of college extension, and H.
Hinshaw, general freight agent 1
of the Southern Pacific Railway com
pany. The car will be In charge of
Professor F. I Griffin.
The first-Instruction in canning by
these processes was given by repre
sentatives of, the extension department-
In girls and boys' club work
about six - months ago. , The" practical
character of the work and Its value
In Saving surplus products that would
otherwise go to waste, has aroused
so much interest that lt""has created
a demand greater than the extension
division is able to meet. The car
plan of disseminating .this knowledge
was. resorted to as a means of reach
ing a great many , more people than
could be Instructed in any other way.
Demostrattons will cover methods of
preparing various kinds of fruits
and vegetables in commercial quanti
ties that will .enable farmers to dis
pose , of most , of their surplus pro
ducts. During the short - time In
which this work' has been carried on
a number of -farmers of different
parts of Oregon have built up a lu
crative trade in horticultural by-pro
ducts." The itinerary of the special
cars Is as follows:

Hood Apples Get
Touch of Sunburn
Hood River, Or., July 10. The hot
weather of the last few days has af
fected many apples ,in the Hood River
valley with sun burn. '
This condition, however,; will not
seriously affect the output of the val
ley, as the experienced growers usual
ly allow the apples to set thick on the
ttouth and west- sides of the' trees.
where the sun strikes, and when the
hot spell is . over, these apples : are
thinned off," leaving a" normal 'set
ting of good fruit..
Wllmer. Sieg. salesmanager for the
Hood River Apple Growers' associa
tion, said today: i "Notwithstanding
that the sun has affected some of the
apples, ' and that apple scab has been
abroad , In the valley, the, conditions
are not as naa as tne reports nave In
dicated.' - The Hood River valley will
; have a normal crop of good fruit. The
apples are suing fine and from Indi
cations they will color up to standard
this season, and this Is a great asset
"Color attracts the eye and. is one
of . the greatest incentives for the fel
low Interested to part with nls money
for what apples he desires to buy.
We are, going . tobe careful In our
pack this season and live strictly up
to grade. Quality, not quantity, will
be our packing and. shipping rule."' "

Two Essentials In Canning.
Two- things J)nly are necesary. for
the successful 'canning, of fruits, veg
etables and meats In the home: First,
the product must be completely steril
ized; second, the product must be
packed In air tight containers. .
There are two methods usually; em
ployed in the home and in commer
cial canneries for preserving food
stuffs. One is called the hot pack
open kettle method, the other . the
cold pack ' method.
By the hot pack method, the food
product Is first sterilized or cooked
and then placed or packed in the
jars. One objection to the hot pacTc
method is that It requires more time
and labor and ' necessitates standing
even if the product, tne jars, rubbers
apd the covers are perfectly steril
ized there is " still a possibility of
bacteria getting In while the cooked
f rule is being dipped from the kettle
to the Jar. -
New State Lake
Has Been . Found
Eugene. Or., -July 10. A lake 80 or
40 acres in extent that has never, be
fore been charted and as far as known
has never before been seen by white
men. was found a short time ago near
the South Fork of th McKenzie river
about 46 miles from Eugene and 10
miles off the road by a party of gov
ernment trail builders now working in
that part of the Cascade national for
est. . .- , ;: - S-i-
The lake is about three miles back
of a cabin owned ' by Attorney: C A.
Hardy of Eugene, who uses it as bead
quarters for his hunting trips in that
locality, but he . never imagined that
there .was. such a body of water so
close.-- - .,,-' -
The government trail builders state
that there Is no visible outlet to the
lake, but It is fed by a small stream.
There are trout In the : lake and the
government men while encamped on lti
shore caught - a large number, some
of them being of good size.
Swimmer Drowns "
At The Dalles
The Dalles, Or July 10. Oxin
Thomas,- aged about 1 years, t: was
browned In the Columbia ; river this
afternoon-: while awlmmlng. ' f He was
trying to swim across the slough near
the People's dock when he was stricken
with . cramp. He cried for help , and
sank. The body was recovered 10 min
utes later, but efforts to resuscitate
him failed. - - , . , :
- Thomas .and his mother came here
from .Whit Salmon to work In the
I4bby, McNeill. & Libby cannery.
'Cr
i
The I cold pack canning simply
means packing the uncooked product
and then cooking or sterilizing it
right in the can or Jar. Most house
wives cold pack a few fruits or vege
tables, j but do not know that the
method! can be successfully employed
with all fruits and vegetables. - With
the cold pack method, the product
after a preliminary scalding or blanch
ing, is : put Into the can and the can
sealed, i The product Is cooked In the
can and there is no chance- for bac
teria . to get In. The cold packed
product Is better because the fruits
and vegetables - are packed uncooked
and are not crushed. They are more
easily ; nanaiea ana tne metnoa re
quires less work. The product usu
ally has' a be'r flavor and color
as well as texture, especially when
blanched and cold dipped.
i Concerning Packing. 1
The Itln cans or glass Jars, with
tops and rubbers, should be clean
but need not be sterilized before re
ceiving the contents as both the con
tainer and the product will be ster
ilized by the same process. - The
product may be packed whole or cut
into such forms as will be desirable
for serving on the table. The can
should be filled to within a half inch
of the top.. It Is not- necessary to
cover the product with liquid In or
der to make it keep, because the
cold pack method sterilizes the air
In the cans as well as the product.
All fruits and vegetables may be
canned in plain water ; although all
will have a better flavor if properly
seasoned with salt or sugar. One
level teaspoonf ul - of salt for 'each
quart f of vegetables f is usually suf
ficient A sugar solution should be
used for fruit, the density or thick
ness of the syrup being regulated by
the acidity, or sourness, of the pro
duct. Tomatoes are- one product to
which no water at all should be addd
when j canning for market. When
canning whole tomatoes the juice of
several crushed ones should , be added
to . the can. .

Morning Seesloas 1 at Chautauqua De
voted to Games and Stories for
. . Calldxea.
'Corvallis, Or..- July 10. Cor vail! s
Chautauqua week got under way with
splendid impetus by the address of Dr.
Newell Dwigbt Hillls, the eminent
Brooklyn divine
; In his address on "America of Today
and Tomorrow,. Dr. Hlllis handled his
subject, and suceeded without a flaw,
except the little slip In bis faultless
diction when he tried to say "Willam
ette." ;, He really turned this trifle
against his audience - by saying that
pronouncing Willamette is like a Jour
ney across the Sahara "either you ar
rive or. you don't" arrive., , ? ;
One of - the features of the address
was a list of dazzling figures on popu
lation,, wealth." farm acreage and other
agricultural resources of not only the
Linited States but of both Americas
and of the leading, nations of all the
other continents. The speaker -neither
hesitated to quote the staggering array
of hundreds of statistical Quotations
nor varied ' from . the - original - sums
named In numerous rapid fire reviews.
Soma of the figures began with bil
lions and. even in these- the speaker
sometimes carried the 12-flgure sums
down Into the thousands columns. De
ductions 4 from the' present- statistics
were made with .: figures . still more
staggering, and yet made to appear
most conservative, as when but one-
hundredth of the ' past ratio of in
crease in the population of the United
States was taken to show that it must
