Canning Tomatoes.
Now Mr. Truck Grower dont you really believe that this little editorial from the Womans Home Companion will be of more practical service to you in your line of business, than whole columns would about what the politicians and agitators have to say. Read it:
"Last summer I tried a new method of canning tomatoes, and it proved so satisfactory that I want to pass it on. Scald and peel the tomatoes as usual. Have the cans sterilized, place the raw tomatoes in them whole, pour in boiling water to fill the cans, running a knife around in the cans, so that all the crevices are filled, then put on the cover. Place the cans in a boiler or large vessel, pour in boiling water until it reaches the neck of the can, put the lid on the boiler, wrap it with a blanket or rug, and leave until the water is cold, which will be next morning. The cans are then ready to put away. I did not lose a can out of forty quarts- When the cans were opened, the tomatoes were whole and firm enough to slice easily'"
