PAGE EIGHT The Garden Grows ! What to Do Next? Freezing, Storing, Drying and Canning Vege tables Next Step in the Harvest - By MARGARET P. LAMB Theoretically all our gardens are planted and growing ao now It is time to begin to think what is to be done with all the produce. There are three ways ot preserving it for winter use. One, the old time method of canning. Much of this will be done this year, probably more than ever before, but there is always some risk in this method and some chance of loss. Freezing is an ideal method, but unless one already has a locker this is not to be considered for lockers are not to be had at any price. On the other hand, drying of vegetables is satisfactory and absolutely safe. Not all dried products look and taste differently when dried. Beets for exam-, pie when prepared after dry ing gain back almost all of their volume and a great deal of their crispncss and flavor.' They do lose some of their vitamin content. ; The question has been ask ed many times, "When can vegetables be dried?" They should be dried when fresh from the garden the same as when they would be prepared for freezing or canning. As for freezing, vegetables should be blanched. The .vegetables should be sliced or shredded and then dipped in boiling water. : All vegetables should be blanched thoroughly. More specific directions can be had from , bulletins put out for that purpose or by asking our home demonstration agent After blanching the vegeta bles are drained and then spread on the drying trays and drying started immediate ly. The temperature should not be over 150 degrees and the contents of the trays should be kept moving all the time to insure even dry ing. It is well to shift the trays in the dryer too. The drying process' must, be con tinuous, it cannot successful ly be stopped in the middle. It is simple to tell when the vegetables are dry enough, they are brittle and snap. If the vegetables are not thor oughly dry they will- mold and be lost. If they are not properly blanched the flavor will be affected. Keep the finished product in jars with tight tops or insects will move in, they love dried vegetables and fruits. If properly stored dried vegetables and fruits will keep indefinitely. .-'; Vegetable dryers are be ing nianuiactured and will be ready for use by the time the crops are ready for the dry ir. Charts and plans for the raking of home dryers will be carried in many papers tnd have already been car ried in several magazines. There have been many questions asked about prun ing tomatoes. There is a new eight page bulletin to be re leased shortly from OSC that will tell all about laterals, -what to remove and how to train those left. For anyone who needs to conserve space this will be of value. When we, . with our enor mous expanses of unused land, wonder how we are go ing to produce enough food to come through this war without going hungry, It is interesting to note what Eng land has done in the last four years. Last year in the fall they had six hundred V-gar-den shows. This in spite of the bombings they had en dured. Vegetables enough have been raised so they have been able to subsist through these last four years. The RAF is planting three thousand acres of vegetables this year. The plantings are near the air bases and the personnel will do all the nec essary work. This will make this part of the armed forces self-sustaining as far as vege tables are concerned this year, as well as giving them relax ing work to do while wait ing for more active duty. As those of us well know, who have tried to buy ferti lizer with nitrogen in it this spring, nitrogen is very scarce, and in the next years to fol low ii will probaoly be more scarce than it is now. .. The nitrogen supply can be as sured e-y sowing vetch in the home garden and by turning it under next spring. The question arises immediately, how can vetch be sowed when there are still late vegetables in the ground. This has been done very successfully by a Portland gardener who sows the vetch between the rows and not only uses it for nitro gen for next year's crop but lor a shoe-protecting patch. The late garden may be mud dy and the vetch grows very thick and not very high, so it makes a fine place to walk " when pulling late vegetables. . The auxiliary and chevaliers of Canton Crater will hold their April meeting next Thursday evening, the eighth, at the IOOF hall, when a potluck dinner will be served at half past six o'clock, and a largo turnout of the mem bership lj urged.

OYSTER DINNER COMMUNITY CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 2160 Garden Avenue , 1 Block East of E. Main Sunday, April 4 12:30 . 3:00 P. M. Adults ' ........ 60e Children under, 12 ....35c State PTA Meet Slated Election of County Of ficers Set for Monday Afternoon , At three o'clock Monday afternoon in tho Fremont school auditorium, tho Klam ath County Council ot Par ents and Teachers will moot to discuss tho stato convention scheduled for April tho four teenth and fifteenth In Port land. Mrs, J, R, Hall, presi dent, will be among thoso at tending. Also scheduled to at tend will be the incoming president, to be named at Mon day's meeting, It is hoped that the various local groups in the county will send at lcn.it one dclogata to tho state meeting which will probably bo small, but most important In this war year. Says Freda G. Mowroy, Orcgonlan's club editor: Tho trials and tribulations of planning a convention in wartime are becoming first hand experiences these days to Mrs, Frank W. Blum, the president of tho Oregon Con gress of Paronts and Teochors and the hardworking congress committees In charge ot ar rangements for its 1943 meet ing, which will bo held in Portland In mid-April. In tho first place, she says, Portland had to be the only choice for tho convention this year because, with transporta tion problems what they are and even as hard as It is to get to Portland, getting several hundred delegates to any other point in the stato would prob ably be much moro difficult. When it .came to housing those delegates, the PTA com mittee found that hotels oro not anxious these days to make reservations for conven tion crowds so that It has been ncccssury to ask Portland's parent-teacher people to regis ter extra rooms they have in their homes which will be available to delegates. Because restaurants, wor ried over food and help, are not available for large meet ings, delegates will scatter for luncheons during tho conven tion instead of gathering at ono place. A banquet is being planned for one night, but it will be very Informal and streamlined. The convention, definitely streamlined to meet wartime demands, will be held April 14 and 19, with a board meet ing the night ot April 13. A post-convention board session will be held tho night of April 13. Mrs. Blum will complete, at this year's meeting, a two year term as stato president.
