I, Alma Turnbull, am fifteen years of age and attend the Exe­ ter District High School. I live in Grand Bend. For my Home Project I chose to do canning fruits and vegetables because I feel it is an essential thing for any prosperous housewife and it also cuts down on the cost of your daily meal planning. I canned a variety of fruits and vegetables consisting of peas, beans, corn, tomatoes, raspberries, cherries and straw­ berry jam. The cooking time of each varies, as the acidic or fruits do not require much cooking to kill the yeasts and molds. The vegetables require longer cook­ ing because of the growth of bacterial spores in them. The strawberry jam took from 5-UO' minutes. The vegetables took approximately, three hours. The fruit took approximately 10 minutes. The tomatoes took ap­ proximately The cost strawberries beans .30; .28; raspberries $1.09; cherries .73. The total cost was $‘4.21. The Details Of Each Variety Strawberry jam: To prepare the fruit for the jam, I ground about two quarts of fully ripe berries until they were reduced to pulp: two quarts of berries; seven cups of sugar; one half bottle* of certo. I added the sugar to the prepared fruit in a large open kettle, mixed it well and boiled hard for two minutes, stirring constantly. Then I re­ moved it from the heat and stir­ red in the certo, and stirred and skimmed for about 5 minutes. This prevents floating fruit. I poured it quickly into sterilized jars and covered them melted parafin wax. Cherries: I pitted and washed the cherries, from one dish of clean water to another, this is to remove the acid, I filled the jars about three parts full and made a thin syrup of two cups of sugar and one cup of water, which I poured over the cherries. I loosened the ring one turn, to let the steam out and put in the steamer and brought to the boil, and boiled for ten minutes. Raspberries: I washed the berries thoroughly and packed them in the sterilized jars. I poured in a thin syrup of 1 cup of .sugar and two cups of water. I tightened the rings and put in the steamer and boiled for ten minutes. , Tomatoes: I poured boiling water over the tomatoes and skinned them. Then I placed them in a bath of 1 tablespoon of salt to approximately two quarts of watei' and boiled for five minutes. Then I lifted them out with an open spoon, filled the sterilized containers and put on rubbers and rings and sealed them I turned the ring back one turn to let the steam escape. Then I put them in the steamer and processed for 20 minutes. After they were cooked suf­ ficiently, I removed them from with juice, tightened the sealers rings. To be sure that it was sealed tight I turned the jar up­ side-down on the table and let cool. If the jar leaked, another one would have to be used. Corn: I husked the corn and cut it off the cob. Then I covered it with water and added one tablespoon of salt in open kettle and boiled for five min­ utes. Then I packed the corn in the sterilized containers, being sure it was covered with the juice it was boiled in. I tighten­ ed the rings and turned back one turn, put in the steamer and cooked for three hours. Beans: I snipped, cut and washed the beans, then covered them with water, added one tablespoon of salt in an open kettle and boiled for five min­ utes. I packed in sealers, being sure the beans were covered with juice, tighened the sealers and turned back one turn, i?ut in the steamer and cooked throe hours. Peas: I packed i n sterilized containers, added one teaspoon of salt and filled With boiling water. They were put in the steamer boiled, for three hours. I believe that my effort of good success as so far thing has spoiled. Canning isn’t really a miserable job as some people describe it and as a matter of. fact I like it quite well. The only one I had any trouble with was the beans, and I believe they were cooked too Tong, because they turned brown­ er than usual, but for the taste they were perfectly alright. It seems that some people would rather buy all their food in cans rather than preserve it themselves, because they claim it is cheaper. I have tritd to estimate the approximate cost i of the food I canned, which is rather a difficult task.

The regular meeting of the Afternoon Auxiliary met in the Sunday School room on Thurs­ day afternoon, with a splendid attendance. The president, Mrs. O. Down, was in the chair. The meeting opened with prayer by Mrs. Down, and the singing of hymn 346. After the minutes and business part, the Devotion­ al was1 given by Mrs. V. Arm­ strong and Mrs. C. Harris. Mrs. W. Murdoch, of Hamilton, then sang very beautifully “In Secret I Pray”. Mrs. J. Hodgert and her group gave a most helpful and interesting play entitled “Crusaders for " Membership”. Mesdames Kyle, Stone, Pybus, Cook, Armstrong, King, Squire, Hannigan, Appleton, F r a y n e, and Williams took part, with Mrs. Hodgert as President. Miss O. 'Prior closed the playette with prayer.

I find by this chart that it is most profitable- to preserve straw­ berry jam and I am sure every­ one will agree that it is always enjoyed by the family. The total savings of my canning was $2.92. For our family we generally can between 20-3 0 quarts of each variety. Therefore, our saving is approximately $52.25. The variety of food that we have canned is superioi’ to that of store foods. Here is a or whoever not to cook toO’ longy'ffs flat taste and a squashy look. Thus I conclude that home­ canning is very beneficial and profitable to any home and fiunily.
