Kaleigh, N. C, April 30, 1910. 



Sir: — I herewith submit the results of experimental tests made 

 by Mr. S. B. Shaw, Assistant Horticulturist, in the home canning 

 of fruits and vegetables. There is at this time every evidence of a 

 large crop of fruits and vegetables throughout the State this year. 

 At this the beginning of the canning season, I recommend that these 

 results be published as the regular Bulletin for the month of May. 



Respectfully submitted, 



W. K HUTT, 



State Horticulturist. 

 To Hon. Wm. A. Graham, 



Commissioner of Agriculture.
