You may want to pickle your own garden products to get a special flavor, or preserve extra fruits and vegetables, or just try a hand at something new. To get the best product use top quality vegetables and ingredients, says Nancy Moore, University of Illinois extension advisor. Select fruits or vegetables that are fresh and firm. Pickle them within 24 hours of picking. If using fruits, use those that are slightly underripe and free of decayed spots. If pickling cucumbers, be sure to use a pickling variety. Some cucumbers are raised only for eating fresh and don't pickle well. Choose those that are small or medium size, appropriate for your recipe, and sound-no spots, wilt or insect bites. Cut off each blossom end. Completely remove this. En­ zymes in it may soften the pickles, says Mrs. Moore. When washing the cucum- take out floating or soft They may be hollow. A few bad ones may spoil the whole batch. Choose ingredients carefully. Use soft, pure wster for pickling, says Mrs. Moore. If too alkaline, the water softens the pickle skins, and bacteria may get in and spoil the pickles. Hard water sometimes causes bitterness or prevents proper curing, a problem in McHenry county. Iron in the water can turn the pickles Mack. If hard water is used Mrs. Moore recommends boiling it for 15 minutes. Take it from the hest and let it stand 24 hours. Remove the scum and slowly pour the water into another container so the sediment won't be disturbed. Or, instead of boiling, add an extra V* cup vinegar (5 percent) to each gallon of brine. One needs pure salt, too, to get the right curing in the pickles. Use coarse salt, not the table salt, containing an ad­ ditive to prevent caking. The additive tends to make the pickle solution cloudy, and iodised salt may darken pickles. Also check that the vinegar is 4 to 6 percent acetic acid. This is the vinegar moot recipes require, whether they say so or not. Vinegar needs to be strong to preserve the food, notes Mrs. Moore. Either white or cider vinegar can be used for pickles. The cider type is more mellow in taste but sometimes gives inconsistent results. The white is sharper but usually gives consistent results. Use fresh spices for the best tasting pickles. Follow a reliable processing recipe, one guaranteed to produce a safe food, says Mrs. Moore. To avoid losing the whole batch, process the jars in a boiling water bath to seal them.

Presented by STATE BANK OF RICHMOND member F.D.I.C. Many things about the American system of banking are unique from other banking systems in the world. One of those things is the dual nature of chartering. Some are chartered by the federal government and are most often called "national" banks. Others receive their charters directly from their respective states. These are called "state" banks. Even though the charters come from different sources, services offered the custo­ mers may be virtually the same and the regulations each operates under are very aimilar. Protections accorded depoaiters are the same. The dual system eame about in the early days of U.S. banking because of general opposition to a single, "national" banking system. This opposition to a central system created roany strong state banks, so Itrong that until the 20th century several state banks issued their own currency. The closest thing now to a true national bank is the Federal Reserve Syatem. which essentially aets as a bank's bank. Both state and nattbnal banks maintain accounts, make deposits and Withdrawals from the Federal Reserve Bank in their particular region.
