tor. The steam enters the cabinet 

 through the top row of pipes and circu- 

 lates back and forth through the evap- 

 orator, finally returning to the boiler 

 through a return pipe at the bottom of 

 the cabinet. A five-horsepower boiler 

 furnishes ample steam for an evapora- 

 tor of this type.

By any one of the methods described 

 above practically all fruits and vegeta- 

 bles, in excess of those needed in the 

 homes and in the local market, can be 

 conserved. It is only by resorting to 

 such methods of conservation that we 

 can help win the final victory in this 

 great war. When discouraged, remem- 

 ber the words of the writer who said. 



Somebody said it couldn't be done, 



But he with a chuckle replied 



That, may be it couldn't, but he would be one 



Who wouldn't say so until he tried. 



He started to sing as he tackled the thing 



That couldn't be done and he did it. 



There are thousands to tell you it cannot be 



done, 

 There are thousands of prophesy failure, 

 But just start in to sing as you tackle the thing 

 That "cannot be done," and you'll do it. 



Crops and Advertising 



THERE are statistically two crops of 

 apples in the United States. One is 

 called the "agricultural crop," and the 

 other is called the "commercial crop." 

 The former represents all the apples on 

 the trees, the latter the apples for trans- 

 portation and market. The commercial 

 crop, of course, is a fraction only of the 

 agricultural crop, and varies widely. 

 For instance, the latter may be two 

 hundred million barrels, while the com- 

 mercial crop, according to conditions, 

 may be forty, sixty or eighty million 

 barrels. But whichever crop we think 

 of, it is ;i tremendous business. The 

 agricultural crop mentioned would make 

 a river flowing solid with apples sixty 

 miles long, a hundred yards wide and 

 ten feet deep. It would make ten piles 

 as big as the Great Pyramid of Ghizeh. 

 It would wrap a band around the earth 

 at the equator a foot thick and seven 

 feet wide. It staggers the imagination. 

 In making the above statement there 

 is a definite object. Facts like these 

 awaken the mind to a vivid sense of 

 "size," and stir it to think in terms of 

 "importance." When, then, national 

 magazines tell in descriptive editorials 

 what America's millions may and should 

 do with apples, the editor of such a

Box Strapping 



Used in connection with 

 metal seals consists of 

 encircling a package 

 with a metal strap, draw- 

 ing the strap very tight 

 and interlocking the 

 overlapping strap ends 

 within a metal sleeve 

 (SIGNODE) in such a 

 manner that the jointhas 

 a greater tensile strength 

 than the strap itself. 

 Nails, rivets and buck- 

 les, with their attendant 

 objections, are entirely 

 eliminated.
