orchard two and one-half miles from 

 town, a Twin Falls dentist last fall 

 took off eleven bushels of white clover 

 seed to the acre, which at the prices 

 prevailing at that time brought in 

 nearly $4,000. 



Following up this plan of a well- 

 balanced general farm, other growers 

 are taking five tons of first-grade alfalfa 

 hay from every acre of orchard, a pay- 

 ing crop when the prices throughout 

 the winter never fall below ten dollars 

 per ton. 



The newest problem with which 

 these clover-orchard and alfalfa-or- 

 chard men are being confronted is 

 how to grow fancy, brightly-colored 

 apples without the clean cultivation. 

 This is a puzzle which the men in the 

 Twin Falls country are attacking with 

 the same energy as they have shown in 

 meeting their other troubles, and many 

 are already working out a system of 

 plowing up the clover so that it will 

 reseed itself and finish up the fruit in 

 first-class shape every other year, while 

 the alfalfa men will try discing in the 

 third cutting of hay when it is about 

 six inches high, to make a green mulch 

 and hasten the ripening and coloring of 

 the fruit. 



Home Canning by One-Period 

 Cold-Pack Method 



Canning fruits and vegetables in the 

 home by the one-period cold-pack 

 method is a relatively simple process 

 and can be done with ordinary kitchen 

 equipment and with comparatively 

 little labor. Much of the surplus of 

 the home garden can be saved for win- 

 ter use by this canning method which 

 is fully described in a special bulletin 

 just issued by the United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, Farmers' Bulletin 

 839, "Home Canning by the One-Period 

 Cold-Pack Method." This bulletin is of 

 special interest and value to all house- 

 wives, canning clubs, societies or per- 

 sons interested in conserving the food 

 supply of the nation. It may be had on 

 application to the United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture. The bulletin con- 

 tains very explicit directions for can- 

 ning practically all of the common gar- 

 den vegetables, including tomatoes, pep- 

 pers, sweet peppers, pumpkin, squash, 

 sweet corn, field corn, beans, peas and 

 root vegetables, also various combina- 

 tions of vegetables. It also includes 

 canning directions for soft fruits and 

 berries, hard fruits as apples, pears, 

 quinces. Directions for the canning of 

 camp rations, meats and soups are 

 given in detail. Fach step in the can- 

 ning process by the one-period cold- 

 pack method is carefully outlined from 

 the preparation of the equipment and 

 the raw materials to the storing of the 

 canned products. A special lime table 

 showing how long fruits, vegetables, 

 soups and meals should be scalded, 



blanched or sterilized is of particular 



value to the housewife. Various types 

 of home-made and commercial canning 

 outfits are described.
