GLASS JARS FOR VICTORY CANNING
Low Pr otein Wheat
May Be Answer to
Starch Shortage
Possibility of combatting a grow
ing shortage of starch by manufac
turing this material from low pro
tein wheat of the mid-Columbia
area is being studied by a com
mittee of the Oregon Farm Chem
urgic council, according to H. W.
Derry, manager of Pacific Power
St Light company's new industries
department and secretary of the
farm chemurgLo group.
In addition to food products,
starch goes into adhesives, paper
of certain kinds and a long list of
other industrial products and pro
cesses. It normally is produced
from corn.
The present shortage results in
part from ceiling prices which make
it more profitable for growers to
feed their corn to hogs than to sell
it.
Working with Derry on the com
mittee are Professor E. H. Wiegand
and D. D- HilL Oregon State col
lege; Dr. David B. Charlton, Charl
ton Laboratories of Portland, and
Kenneth Miller, S. P. St S. railway.
The starch from wheat program
was discussed recently at a chem
urgic session called in Portland by
Derry. The meeting was held at
the request of Dr. G. E. Hubert,
chief of the starch and dextrose
division of the department of agri
culture's northern regional re
search laboratory at Peoria, HI.,
and Dr. Langford, chief of the lab
oratory's engineering and develop
ment division. Both discussed stud
ies they are making on manufac
ture of starch, glucose, dextrose and
feed from surplus Oregon wheat-
Among those attending the meet
ing were George N. Peck, Harry
Dinges and D. W. Glasgow, all rep
resenting the Morrow County Grain
rowers, Inc., of Lexington, and a
number of federal officials-

Plan to can every extra vegetable from your Victory garden and don t
worry if your dealer hasn't jars with the kinds of caps you have been
- accustomed to using. Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director of Ball
Brothers Company, tells us that very few of the all-time favorite zmc caps
are left on the home front because zinc is needed on the battle front, but
all Mason Jars (any Drana; wiiny
smooth, even top edges can be
sealed with glass top seal or two-
piece metal vacuum seal closures.
Glass top seals consist of glass lid,
rubber ring, and metal screw band.
The rubber is placed around the pro
jection on the bottom of the lid, then
lid with rubber is placed so that
the rubber rests on top of the jar.
The bands are screwed down tight,
- then loosened slightly before the jars
are put into a canner for processing
and screwed tight immediately after
the jars are removed from the Ban
ner. After the jars have stood twelve
or fifteen hours, the bands are re
moved and used to seal more jars
with glass lids and rubbers, thus
making a little metal go a long way.
That's one reason Government offl
cals smile upon home canners who
!use glass top seals.
Another good top seal for Mason
Jars is the two-piece metal cap,
icalled vacuum seal. The lid is
! slightly dome shaped, lined with
white enamel and has a rubber seal
ing compound around the outer edge
to take the place of a regular jar
ring (don't let anybody fool you
all sealing compounds contain rub
ber). If one is using old-fashioned
open kettle (never use this method
for canning vegetables), the lids
, are boiled a few minutes to sterilize,
but need only to be dropped into
boiling water and kept hot if the
jars of food are to be placed in a
canner for processing. After the lid
is placed on the jar, the metal band
is screwed tight once for all. Re
tightening the band after the jars
are taken out of the canner is likely
to prevent sealing. The bands are
removed from the jars twelve or fif
teen hours after the canning is don
and used to teal more lids on other
jars. Jars sealed with two-piece
mtl eana am tultabla for all tmes
of canning except oven a tightly
RETURN FROM GRANITE
Mr. and Mrs. E. R- Shaffer re
turned Sunday from Granite where
they spent a couple of weeks with
their sheep on summer range. The
sheep were started to the range
on July 3i
sealed jar is likely to break when
subjected to the dry heat of an oven.
Rands for el ass toD seal and vac
uum seal caps are not interchange
able because a deeper Dana is neea
ri fnr the fflass lids, but the two
have one thing in common. Neither
is rust-proot. That s because or tne
zinc shortage, but a quick Wiping
after each use with a cloth mois
tened with paraffin will prevent se
rious rusting. It will save time and
trouble too, if a cloth is prepared
ahead of time and kept in one of
those glass jars that can't be used
for home-canning. Then when the
cloth is needed, set the jar in a pan
of warm water until the paraffin
softens.
The "lightning" jar (so called be
cause it is quickest to seal) requires
very little metal and not too much
rubber for sealing. Several manu
facturers make this type jar. It
seals with a glass lid and rubber
held In place with wire bails. The
wires used on one nationally known
brand are of heat-treated, high-tension,
stretch-proof, spring steel. This
is the ideal jar for home canning
any year because it is so easy to
seal. The rubber is placed on the
sealing surface or shoulder, the lid
comes next, then the upper bail whro
is pushed up until it rests in the
groove in the top of the lid. Pay no
attention to the lower wire, it takes
care of Itself until after the jars art
removed from the canner then it is
pushed down against the side of the
jar and that's all there is to sealing
it.
When buying jars, choose pints for
peas, corn, and shelled beans and
quarts for all other vegetables. Half
pint sins aren't being made, and
half-gallons are unsuitable for caa
ning vegetables because it takes too
long for heat to reach the canter of
the jar.
DRIVE TO PENDLETON

Keith Marshall and Joe Hughes, Jr.
