MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Ore., Tuesday, September 30, 1958 Grandma's Preserving Kettle Still Being Used By JEANNE LESEM - United Press International New York -Oil- Grandma's preserving kettle is right at nome in the space age it bubbles merrily on the stoves of some, 20 million American families from the time of the summer crop mrough the fall fruit harvest an' Agriculture Department survey showed. This figure re presents 44.5 per cent of all United States households, the survey added. Fruits are the favorite home canning raw material, with most of them ending up in preserves, jams, jellies and relishes. Peaches lead the fruit popularity poll and, with to matoes, are the foods most often canned. Why do fruits outdo vege tables in canning popularity? Mrs. Gary Conrad Is Hostess fpr Lone Pine Group .

Washington -IUPD- Pies like Grandmother used to make are still around, the agricul ture department reports. -" We rely on our kitchen ovens for much of the baked goods we eat, a department survey showed. About 93 per cent of farm families and 67 per cent of city families eat at least one home-baked product a week. Most popular items are quickbreads, cakes and pies. Next come bread, rolls, cook ies and gingerbread. Mrs. Irene Wolgamot, a Rutgers university extension service food and nutrition spe cialist, explained: "Anyone with a deep kettle can put up fruit and tomatoes, which are acid. But you need more equipment, including a pressure canner, for non-acid vegetables." Pickles, relishes, mincemeat and applesauce are among the fall possibilities for home can ners, Mrs. Wolgamot said. But don't can or preserve more than you expect to use or give as presents during the year, she warned. Most foods put up at home will keep as long as the seal of the jar re mains unbroken, but flavor and nutritional losses occur when products are stored too long or too near heat and light sources. . The nutritionist said that many homemakers still can and preserve food at home for economy reasons. The growing popularity of home food freezers and rental lockers apparently hasn't cut into the canning-preserving rate to a marked extent. More families can food than freeze it, the Agriculture De partment pointed out, but the amount frozen by an average family is considerably greater than the amount canned per family. However, 85 per cent of the frozen food was meat, and 45 per cent of the meat was beef. For homemakers who both can and freeze, a major mason jar manufacturer (Ball Broth ers Co.) has a new all-purpose glass container. This jar, tap ered so that frozen food will slide out without thawing, comes with a conventional re usable metal screw band and separate rubber seal lid.
