T-A photo Tomatoes - they're in the jar Red ripe tomatoes! What a beautiful sight! That is, as long as you can safely preserve the quantity you have grown and have them ready to enjoy next winter. Tomatoes may be frozen, canned or used in relishes, sauces, catsup and juice. Let us look at the frozen and canned products here. First, the frozen - select fully ripened fruit that is free from blemishes. Scald in hot water to loosen the skins. Cool immediately in cold water. Peel and core. They may then be frozen as is adding 1 teaspoon salt per quart, or stewed 2 - 3 minutes. Stewing will prevent a tough, stringy product when unthawed. Pack in plastic containers or glass jars leaving 11/2 " headspace to allow for ex- pansion when frozen. Use in cooked dishes only as the fresh appearance is not maintained in, freezing. For canning tomatoes, begin by washing and then scalding in hot water to loosen skins. Dip in cold water, remove skin and core. Half fill the hot canning jars with tomatoes. Dissolve 1/4 tsp. citric acid (available in drug stores) and 1/2 tsp. pickling salt per pint jar in 1 tablespoon boiling" water. Add to jar. Fill the rest of the jar with tomatoes. Add hot tomato juice or water. Slip a knife down between jar and tomatoes to release air bubbles. Finish adding juice but leaving 1/2" headspace at the top ;of the jar. Cover jar quickly with a hot lid and screw down jar ring ac- cording to type of jar used. Place in boiling water bath processor and process in rolling boil, 55 minutes for pints, 60 minutes for quarts. Remove jars carefully when time is up and place on a thick towel to cool. Let jars cool at least '12 hours. Test for seal according to manufacturers suggestions. Store in a cool, dry, dark location for best results. Always remember to destroy without tasting any home canned product which looks or smells abnormal. But why citric acid and boiling water procesSing, you ask? Citric acid is essential in raising the acidity of tomatoes into the range to be processed in a water bath processor rather than a pressure canner. Since tomato varieties and ripeness change the acidity, it is recommended that it be added to all home canned tomatoes. The boiling water bath processing time , is to ensure that all of the product has been thoroughly heated, excess air is driven out and a good vacuum seal is created ensuring a safely canned product. Don't take chances. Can and freeze your products carefully. Your family's health depends on it.

Stan Paquette, Associate Agricultural Representative Western Ontario bean growers heard good news. at Wednesday's Ontario Bean Day, Ontario Bean Producers Marketing Board manager Charles Broadvitell said, the initial payrnent for 1980 crop white beans would be in- creased about $2 per one hundred pound bag to $11.34. At the same time Broadwell said theilicence fee Paid by growers to the board was being reduced from $4,40 to $4 per metric tonne. The board manager said the current market price for beans was $33,25 per hun- dred weight for export and $34,25 for domestic use, He added, "There is only a handful of 1979 crop beans left and returns should be in the range, of $21. He continued "Things really look positive for this year's crop and market. On the world situation it doesn't look as if there will be enough beans to go around. Producers in Michigan are having all kinds of problems. They have suffered water damage and are now en- countering rust, bronzing and white mould. The Michigan acreage is listed at 391,000 acres with a projected yield of 12 bags per acre. I think that may be an overestimate." Broadwell said the Ontario acreage is up about 18 per cent to 92,875 acres. The Ontario yield estimates range from 12 bags per acre in Elgin where water damage was suffered _ to a high of 18 bags in Kent. Perth and Middlesex were listed at' 15 and Huron from 14 to 17 100 pound bags per acre. "Put this altogether and we are looking at 15 bags per acre and a total of 1,400,000 bags, an increase of about 100,000 bags from a year ago," said Broadwell. He said some Ontario growers may have planted just a little more seed than the recommended 40 pounds per acre this year. The manager added, "With a five year average of 12.8 bags per acre, the potential is there this year for a great yield and Stacey btitter still best Stacey Brothers Limited of Mitchell has won the Championship for butter at the Canadian National Exhibition again this year. Stacey butter was awarded 98.5 points out of a possible 100 to capture the top award. The win at this year's CNE was in the class for "un- salted butter:" Stacey butter also headed the list ..in the class for "salted butter prints" with a score of 98.3. In addition the company won top prize in a special class for best package ap- pearance. Stacey has won an un- precedent 4 consecutive Championships beginning with the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in 1978, both the Royal and CNE in 1979, and the CNE again in 1960. Butter department supervisor Karl Graf and his capable staff of but- termakers were responsible for producing the winning butter. Optimistic on. yield., prices , Good .news for 'bean? growers A
