Home Bottling of Fruit.'I
Home Bottling of Fruit. 'I There is a considerable amount of fruit in the country that may easily be pre- served for future use with little or no sugar. There are two methods—(i). using sugar solution containing two pounds of sugar to the gallon of water, nij, using water only. R,eq'Ll ilreme nts. -Enamelled. preserving pan, suitable saucepan, or fish kettle, ten to twelve inches deep, fitted with false bottom, large wooden or enamelled ladle, quart jug, bottles, and fruit. Making the syrup :—Boil two pounds of sugar in one gallon of water for twenty minutes. Skim well. Preserving Plums or Damsons.—Good sound fruit picked before ripe. Damsons should be ripe but hard. Remove stalk, pierce with silver or copper needle, wipe dry, and drop the plums when sufficient have been done into the preserving pan containing boiling tyrup or boiling water. Remove from fire and cool quickly. When cold fill into bottles, tapping to get the fruit into the smallest compass. Fill it within half-inch of rim with svrw or water. Sterilize. Do not close Bottles completely before sterilizing. Sterilization.—After filling fruit into bottles, stand them in a vessel containing cold water. Put the vessel on the fire and bring up to a temperature of 170 degrees or 185 degrees Far. Keep at this temperature for fifteen minutes, cover t:ghtly, and allow to cool. The best bottles to use are the prepared screw cap or clip bottles. In these only the glass should come in contract with the fruit. Fill the jars with fruit, add the liquor, and adjust the ring glass plate and screw cap (one or two times). Sterilize and close down tightly. Pickle jars may be used. The airtight seal is obtained in one of the following ways:—(1), By tying well-dried bullocks' bladders (previously steeped in luke warm water to soften) (2) by pouring clarified mutton at over the fruit in the jar; (3) by using large corks and melted paraffin wax; (4),, by using parchment paper well coated with thick flour paste. The bottles in all cases must be made airtight. In the absence of a thermometer, bring slowly to the boil and cover at once. Blackberries may be bottled success- fully. Remove stalks; store over night m an earthenware crock after sprinkling «a little castor sugar amoncrst t.bo fmi+. Pour a little of the filling liquor into the bottles to prevent fruit breaking- fill up Hm .sfaIV? faI'rl-v hot in oven for a time to shrink fruit; fill quite full «itn fruit and fruit juice and sterilise as for plums. A very useful blackberry store °r et?., can be made by filling jars with fruit and covering with grease- proof paper fixed in by thifk flou/pastT mner Kood, substantial brown on tL n f a K°ni thlck coat of paste an the outside as well. Place the bottles in a fairly hot oven and allow to stand over night.

AGRICULTURE. IN W AR- TIME-AND AFTER. GAME AND AGRICULTURAL COM- MITTEES. (By an Occasional Correspondent.) c< OJ The following is a resolution passed at J i meeting of representatives of the Na- b. ;ional Farmers Union and the National A farmers Union of Scotland during the li recent Royal Show at Manchester: That S this conference of members of the Execu- J, tive Committee of the National Farmers E Union and the National Farmers Union of Scotland that in the interests of increased food production, immediate steps should be taken to secure such legislative measures as may be best calculated to minimise the damage done by game to tl ¡;rops and grazings." It is well that the t. Unions should express their opinion about this troublesome subject, for no body of men is more capable of doing so than the 11 farmers of the two countries as represented u by their unions. w WAR AGRICULTURAL COMMITTEES. a These committees were created as a re- e "ult of a conference of representatives of a the County Councils of England and a Wales, of Agricultural Colleges and Insti- tutes, etc., which Lord Selborne held on 0 September 7th, 1915. The object of the c, conference was "to discuss a scheme to encourage and assist the farmers of t England and Wales to maintain and if s possible to increase the production of food I during the war." 1 Apart from an excellent speech deli- vered by Lord Selborne, the conference; itself was not of much interest. Indeed the discuss:on turned more on the ways c and means of securing and paying; secre- I taries for the War Agricultural Com- mittees than anything else. t In the course of his speech Lord Sel- r borne said:—"Now if we cannot produce ( more goods at the present moment to send in exchange for the surplus of imports we r can do two things which will have the same effect. We can deny ourselves many f imported goods to the use or luxury of 1 which we are accustomed. That is a 1 matter for the conscience of each indi- vidual man among us, and I am not con- cenflpd with that to-day. But the same + effect will be produced if we can produce t here in England an additional amount of produce which otherwise would have to be ] bought over seas. Every pound's worth t of food, to come down to the agricultural c problem, for man or beast, which can be ( additionally created in the United Kingdom 1 during the coming year in substitution for [ a similar amount which would otherwise be bought abroad is a direct contribution i of great importance to our financial t strength in carrying on this war." s These are weighty words and indicate the ccoilomic condition of this country 1 from the point of view of creating more < wealth at home and more especially' food] for man and beast. i Lord Selborne left the question of how i the War Agricultural Committees should 1 be formed to the County Councils; and ] unfortunately he did not emphasise the necessity of including as many practical farmers as possible amongst the members. The result is that the majority of the members of several committees are not engaged in agriculture nor do they know much about the industry from a practical point of view. Already existing com- mittees have been turned into War Agri- cultural Clammittees in many counties, with a busy chairman and busier mem- bers. Consequently the real purpose of the movement has been lost sight of. In- deed so little interest some members of such committees take in the work that I have heard of them attending and signing the book of attendance and leaving immediately. The real purpose of such committees is to discuss the economics of agriculture, a.nd it is the first time in the history of this country when the troubles of farmers have been ventilated publicly by a county council committee. Generally speaking, county councils do not command the con- fidence of the rank and file of farmers; but now here is an opportunity for them to do something tangible for farmers and to gain their confidence. The rural district councils were created sub-committees to the County War Agri- cultural Committees, and with but a few exceptions these bodies hav'e done nothing to justify their appointment. A mass of correspondence from the Board of Agri- culture w in the past received by the secretaries of war agricultural committees —who are generally the county advisers— some of whom were treated rather indif- ferently and some seriously. Possibly the two matters that created the greatest interest was the purchase of sulphate of ammonia and recruiting. A few com- mittees arranged for joint purchases of seed potatoes and one Welsh county was amongst them, Carnarvon. On the whole, war agricultural com- mittees have not realised their responsi- bilities. If they did their constitution in eighty per cent, of cases is unfitted for the task set for them. At a conference of war agricultural committees held on the 18th of April of this year Lord Selborne lectured them rather severely and stated "that many of them had not appreciated their responsi- bilities." He went on—"And have not taken themselves nearly seriously enough nor have really understood that it was in their power to make a direct and import- ant contribution to victory." Eixactly; but many of their members have not put in an appearance once at meetings. If we are to judge their frame of mind from this point of view they are heedless as to which side gets the victory. The apathy indeed is lamentable. One of the passages in his lordship's speech at the conference was as follows:- "My duty, occupying the responsible posi- tion of King's minister of agriculture (which he resigned rather unexpectedly) in war time, is to indicate to you the oppor- tunities of Jlational service that are open to you and I leave it to your consciences to consider how far you have risen to their fulfilment." Lord Selborne did his part well while minister of agriculture; but, owing to our obsolete political system, he was allowed to resign while in the middle of his war I work, and I am afraid that with him goes the driving power which urged the com- I mittee, on to activity. The- Secretary of the War Agricultural Committee for Leicestershire stated at the conference "that when meetings have been called those circulars, admirable as they are, which have been issued by the Board of Agriculture have been very briefly dis- cussed, and of course nothing further done. One great aspect of the district commit- tees, I think, is their general lack of initiative and real lack of an attempt to I meet the local conditions." His speech was greeted with applause which signified the meeting's approval of his views. Apart from this gentleman all the other speakers said little or nothing about the constitu- i tion or the work done by the committees, but expressed their own views about re- I oruiting and women's labour on the land. ( The majority of the speeches gives one tHe I I impression that there were but few people present who were in real live touch with agriculture. So it is in everything that agriculture. So it is in everything that is set up with the object of furthering the industry. Men of experience stand aloof. A desire has been expressed in
Cardiganshire War Agricultural…
Cardiganshire War Agricultural Committee. MEETING AT LAMPETER. A meeting of Cardiganshire War Agri- iltural Committee was held in Lampeter n Wednesday. In the absence of Mr. ohn Jones, Uwmere, the chair was taken y Mr. Percy Wilkinson, Wenallt. mongst the members were Mr D. J. Wil- ams, Tregaron, Mr J. W. Da vies, Llan- ybi, Mr J. H. Davies, Cwrtmawr, Mr. enkin Lloyd, Tregaron, Mr D. L. Jones, ;,s-,erliendy, Mr D. C. Roberts, Aberyst- yth, Mr J. Evans, Llanfair Fawr, Mr D. Williams, live stock officer, Mr. C. 1. Williams, and the Secretary (Mr D. J. lorgan). At the request of the Board of Agricul- lIne the Committee was asked to consider wo or three cases of appeal for the ex- mption of men from military service. lembers expressed strong views concern- ag the Board's request and passed a reso- ltion that now and henceforth they ould not consider any such case as such ction would be an uncalled for interfer- nce with the previous decisions of local nd county tribunals which bodies, after 11, were well informed of the facts. The Hiairman pointed out that if the facts f any case had altered very much the ase could be reviewed by the tribunals. Ln appeal for the release of a man from he army on the grounds of extreme hard- hip was favourably received and, on the iroposal of Mr. J. W. Davies, a recom- nendation was sent to the Board of Agri- ulture. It was pointed out that the Board would consider cases of extreme wardship only and even then the final lecision rests with the War Council. A communication from the British farmers' Red Cross Society was read by ,lie Secretary, appealing for the establish- nent of sales of farm produce in the :curity. It was pointed out that sales lad already been held more than once in nany parts of the county; but the Secre- ,ary was asked to communicate with those ew districts where no such sales have Jean held with a view to urging them to 'espond to the appeal. At the request of the Welsh Agricul- tural Council, the Committee discussed .he question of developing agriculture in he county after the war. A statement prepared by Mr J. H. )avies was read, in which he maintained hat the greatest obstacle to the progress tf agriculture in Cardiganshire was the lifficulty of transports and lack of com- nunication with industrial centres. That iccounted for the fact that little liming vas done. The roads must first of all be mproved to such an extent as to allow <he free and easy running of motor and steam tractors. They would be more suitable and convenient than light rail- ways. Good roads would open up countryside and lead to many co-operative movements and other organisations which tvere now difficult to bring about. Road improvement, he maintained must precede bhe development of the small holdings movement and even then small holdings should be grouped together as far a*, pos- sible. Other matters were also dealt with in the statement. Mr. Davies proved that the State alone could bear the burden of making the roads. Mr R. J. R. Loxdale said the state- ment was very interesting and instructive and proposed its adoption. Mr. D. L. Jones seconded the proposition which was agreed to. Mr. Jenkin Lloyd proposed that some effort should be made to approach tho railway companies with a view to securing ("heap week-end tickets for colliers and ether bona-fide workmen in the industrial centres whose families lived in Cardigan- shire. It would be a means of inducing those men to return to their homes oftene; and take a keener interest in t)Aoir allotments and holdings, because the men are for the most part experienced farm labourers and tluere are hundreds of them whose homes are situated in the rural dis- tricts of their native county Their wives and children would, with a little more individual attention from the experienced father and husband, be able to make much more out of their little holdings and create in the children a desire for farming which aftier all, was all-important. Mr. D. C, Roberts said he knew of men working in South Wrales who were buildina splendid cottages and everything should be done to encourage their enterprise. Mr J. H. Daviles and Mr. Wilkinson re- ferred to the offers made by the Cambrian Railways to induce people to build cot- tages on their sites. Mr D. C. Roberts drew attention to the tremendous amount of timber now being removed from the county and thought the Board of Agriculture should be asked to impress on private landowners and others the importance of re-planting. Mr D. J. Williams said that lack of timber in the countryside might be seriously felt later on as the enclosing of mountain land involved the use of much timber. Other members referred to the afforesta- tion schemes suggested by the Government and it was stated that steps were being taken to consider the advisability of planting on the hills between Tregaron and Llanwrtyd and Llandovery. Members also thought the time ripe for farmers and smallholders to consider the question of the co-operative disposal of produce. The question of buying co- operatively was alreadv well established in the county; but perhaps the more im- portant aspect—that of co-opierative sell- ing;—was neglected. Of course this again must be preceded by improved transports and huge consignments were necessary to ensure success.

AGRICULTURE.
(continued from previous column) several quarters that war agricultural committees should be retained after the war, but under another name, of course. Undoubtedly there will be work for such committees if steps will be taken to make them representative of the interests of the working farmer-the man who earns his living on the soil. If county councils are to be in any way the units through which the legislature is going to work for the improvement and development of agricul- ture, suitable committees will be required. The several county council committees generally work in water-tight compart- ments, and there is little or no intercom- munication between them. In many coun- ties the agricultural education committees and the small holdings committees will not co-operate although their interests P, Tle one and the work should dove-tail. The officials of these committees do not work together as they should, with the result that the "welfare of those tilling the soil is seriously neglected. Thus, if the economics of agri- culture are to get attention, reformed war agricultural committees would be suitable bodies to do the work. By a process of combing and co-opting, combing out those members who have no knowledge of farm- ing and co-opting those experienced agri- culturists to be found in every country, efficient committees could be set up. t. _U8
