Bureau of Chemistry, United States 

 Department of Agriculture, recently 

 made jellies of excellent texture, flavor 

 and color. 



To put up unsugared fruit juices for 

 jelly making, proceed exactly as if jelly 

 were to be made at the time. Cook the 

 fruits until they are soft and strain out 

 the juice through a flannel bag. Heat 

 and pour while hot into bottles pre- 

 viously scalded. Fill the bottles full, 

 leaving no air space between juice and 

 cork or seal. Place the filled sealed 

 bottles on their sides in water near the 

 boiling point, and keep them in the 

 bath for about 30 minutes. Make sure 

 that the corked or sealed end is under 

 the hot water. As soon as the bottles 

 are cool, cover the cork with a paraffine 

 seal. Thorough sterilization and seal- 

 ing are absolutely essential to success. 



To make jelly from the sterilized 

 juice, test its jelling quality, add the 

 proper amount of sugar, and proceed 

 as in making jelly from freshly ex- 

 pressed juice. 



Helping Fruit Growers 

 and Shippers 



THE results of investigations carried 

 on by the United States Department 

 of Agriculture in the handling of North- 

 western apples for and in cold storage 

 have been so conclusive that this work 

 may be considered as completed, ac- 

 cording to the annual report of the 

 Bureau of Plant Industry. The results 

 brought out particularly the importance 

 of picking apples of various varieties at 

 the proper stage of maturity, of careful 

 handling in all harvesting and storage 

 operations, of prompt cooling, and of 

 proper storage temperatures. During 

 past seasons the growers have fre- 

 quently suffered very large financial 

 losses from either too early or too late 

 harvesting of apples of certain varieties, 

 such as Jonathan, Rome Beauty and 

 others. The work has demonstrated 

 clearly that the storage life of apples 

 can be prolonged from weeks to months 

 by picking at proper maturity, and has 

 shown how the grower may know when 

 his fruit is of proper maturity for best

ORCHARD YARN 



Listen, Orchardists: Now is the time 

 to tie your fruit trees. All limbs can be 

 readily seen; the spurs are less easily 

 broken off than later; the saving of time 

 is considerable and yarn is probably as 

 cheap as it will be this season. Orchard 

 Yarn is the correct method of supporting 

 trees and the saving of a few trees is 

 worth the cost of the yarn for an entire 

 orchard.
