Extracted from Fruit
When pectin is used in making jam
and jelly, the Wartime Prices and
Trade Board Order No 150 allows
you to use sugar not in excess of
one and one-quarter pounds of
sugar for each pound of fruit.
On the basis that "fruit" means
"unprepared" fruit, this allows you
to make your jams and jellies the
Certo way which gives you approxi-
mately two-thirds more jam or jelly

MORE CANNING—LESS SUGAR
THE QUESTION BOX
Miss A. S. asks: "Is it necessary
to sterilize jars by covering them with
water?"
Answer: No. Wash jars and tops
in warm, soapy water. Rinse. In-
vert jars in two inches. of water in a
pan (e.g.. dishpan). A broiling pan
rack paned in the bottom of the pan
will prevent jars from taking up the
water. Immerse glass tops and uten-
sils in water.: Boil for 12 mins.
Plunge rubbers into boiling' water,
then out, when canning.
Mrs. D. asks: "What Ontario fruits
will jell easily?"
Answer: (1) Those containing suf-
ficient: pectin and sufficient acid for
jellying are: sour -apples,' currants,
cranberries, gooseberries, Concord
grapes and sour plums.
(2) Those containing ..pectin but
needing 4-6 tbs. lemon juice for each
quart to snake sufficient acids are:
blueberries, sweet plums, quinces,
raspberries and sweet apples. - •
NOTE: Instead of adding lemons juice,
these fruits' may be used in :com-
bination with tart fruits. e.g., blue-
berries with rhubarb; raspberries
with red . currants'; strawberries
with gooseberries, etc. •

CLOUD PHOTOGRAPHY
Clouds make grand pictorial subjects by themselves, and the finest kind
of background for outdoor scenes.
FROM time immemorial great W -
lowing masses of cloud have fas-
cinated men. Undoubtedly primeval
man looked up at the sky and won-
dered
ondered where the thunderheads carne
from. The Greeks believed that Zeus,
hiding behind the rain clouds,
amused himself by hurling at the
earth the thunderbolts that Vulcan
fashioned for him. Today the scien-
tists have told us where the clouds
come from, -and what makes light-
ning flash, but we still like to see
clouds in the sky and many of us
like to picture them with our cam-
erae:.
• Doing this, as in. the above pic-
ture, will bast simple matter if you
have a filter .to aid in your job.
A filter -be It yellow, ,orange; or
red ,will hold back .certain light
rays from the: sky. proper and thus
• increase' the contrast between the
'clouds' and thethel sky: `` •
A deep 'elle* filter was used in
r- .making this week's illustration, and
.a considerable degree, •od contrast
was obtained. But if a red filter had
been used, even more striking con-
trast between the clouds, and the
sky would have resulted.
That's all there is to the technical
side of picturing clouds, or getting
clouds in the background' of your -
pictures, but pictorially picturing
clouds isn't all a matter of lifters and
proper exposure. Actually, to be sue-
cesstul, eloudscapes have to be ,
treated much like any landscape pic-
ture—and that means you must in-
clude some familiar subject in the -
foreground to be used ae a basis of
comparison for the distances In-
volved. That familiar subject can be
a man, a tree, a house, an animal,
Or part of the landscape. In our pic-
ture this week, it's the graceful
gulls.
Don't keep your eyes to the ground
at all times. Look at the sky occa-
sionally. Look for interesting clouds,
and you'll find your pictures ready-
made.
